She, a top female military doctor of the 21st century, transmigrated one day to become the legitimate eldest daughter of a prime minister's manor, forced into marriage in a bandit stronghold! H...
Tang Xun took a step back and saluted quickly, saying, "Princess, this is absolutely unacceptable. The military has strict orders that no one is allowed to accept bribes..."
"Commander Tang, you forgot that I am not a member of the army." Lin Jinghan smiled with her hands covering her lips, with a hint of teasing.
"Besides, I'm the princess. How can I be considered a bribe if I reward someone in the palace?"
Tang Xun was stunned for two seconds before he realized he had misjudged the situation. He bowed again and respectfully accepted the bottle of medicine from Lin Jinghan's hand. "Thank you, Princess, for your gift."
Continuing on, Lin Jinghan explained the usage of the Guyuan Pill to Tang Xun in detail. Delighted, she gave him several more healing herbs, explaining their usage and benefits one by one. The more Tang Xun listened, the more he admired the princess, almost to the point of worship: Princess, you are a true miracle doctor! As long as someone is not dead, she can definitely save him!
Having established good relationships with the people around Sikong Zhan, Lin Jinghan was in a very good mood and opened the door of Sikong Zhan's tent with a smile.
Inside the tent, Sikong Zhan was writing rapidly, so focused that he seemed unaware of Lin Jinghan's arrival.
Lin Jinghan stood there staring at Sikong Zhan for a while, and thought that he might not have time to deal with her for the time being, so she walked to the tea table and planned to pour tea for herself, but when she saw the tea set, she was stunned for a moment.
Sikong Zhan changed into a new set of tea sets, and there was a separate teacup placed beside it. It looked like it was not a set with the teapot, and there were four words clearly written on it - For Princess Only!
Lin Jinghan did not recognize the words written on it, because she really did not know the words in this world. She just thought that Sikong Zhan had a lot of money and liked to change tea sets when he had nothing to do, so she picked up a teacup at random and drank tea in small sips.
Sikong Zhan finally stopped writing and saw Lin Jinghan sitting at the tea table, holding his teacup in her hand. She frowned and said with disdain:
"Didn't Tang Xun prepare a teacup specifically for you? Why don't you use it?"
"Ah?" Lin Jinghan looked at Sikong Zhan innocently and confusedly.
"You, can't read?" Or rather, you don't know the characters of their Donglin Kingdom? Sikong Zhan frowned.
"As everyone knows, Jinghan is from the countryside. Isn't it normal that she can't read?" Lin Jinghan rolled her eyes: If I knew the characters here, why would there be such a misunderstanding with the divorce letter, and now I'm still under your control?
Sikong Zhan didn't want to dwell on this topic. It didn't matter if she couldn't read. He could just ask a master to teach her. He glanced at the teacup held by Lin Jinghan again, frowning even tighter. "Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to use my teacup."
Aren't the teacups on the tea table meant for entertaining guests? Why are you being so pretentious! She didn't even dislike it!
Lin Jinghan curled her lips and put down the teacup in her hand. "The prince called me here, is there something wrong?"
Sikong Zhan glanced at the hourglass beside him, thinking that Mu Wenyao should be ready soon. He wanted to explain to Lin Jinghan what was about to happen, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out how to start. He was really not good at explaining to others, so he just emphasized it again:
"You are my princess, forever."
Because she is his princess, he will not leave her in danger in the next action, and he will do his best to protect her.
"Okay, got it." Lin Jinghan rolled her eyes. Is it necessary to emphasize this over and over again? As if she were his property! This mouth, as expected, is so annoying!
At this time, Mu Wenyao reported from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. Shall we set off immediately?"
"Let's go!" Sikong Zhan took the lead and walked out of the tent. When he passed by Lin Jinghan, he pointed to a set of clothes and a veil on the table and said, "Put them on and you can come with us."
"Ah? I'm going too? Oh." Lin Jinghan originally wanted to ask what they were going to do, but she had a feeling that Sikong Zhan didn't want to explain, so she simply stopped asking. She quickly changed her clothes, put on a veil, and followed him out silently.
Outside the door, Mu Wenyao had already brought three horses, one of which was the one that Lin Jinghan had ridden before.
The other one was pure black, with a thin head and a tall neck, long limbs, thin skin and fine hair, and light steps. It turned out to be a Ferghana horse!
Sikong Zhan was the first to mount the horse, which was naturally the Ferghana horse. Mu Wenyao also mounted the horse gracefully. Lin Jinghan was not to be outdone and stepped on the saddle to mount the horse.
Seeing Lin Jinghan's clumsy look, Sikong Zhan frowned in disgust, kicked his horse's belly, and galloped away.
Mu Wenyao didn't move out, keeping his head down, not daring to look at Lin Jinghan. He knew Sikong Zhan had taken the princess with him to exchange her for Sikong Ling, and he wondered if the princess would be able to return safely after this trip...
Lin Jinghan didn't care much and rode her horse to catch up with Sikong Zhan, with Mu Wenyao following closely behind.
As they left the camp, they saw two rows of mounted secret guards, both men and women, lined up in neat rows. They all clasped their fists towards the three mounted guards, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Crown Prince! Greetings, Princess!"
"Let's go!" Sikong Zhan did not stop. After giving the order, he continued to gallop forward.
I have to say that Sikong Zhan's men are really well-trained, even the sound of horse hooves is uniform.
However, amidst the uniform sound of horse hooves, there was a very discordant sound, and that was Lin Jinghan's horse.
As a modern person, being able to ride a horse is already a rare thing. It’s no joke to expect her to blend in with the sound of horse hooves of these well-trained secret guards.
Of course, Lin Jinghan did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor would she embarrass herself. Although the sound of her horse's hooves did sound a bit depressing, she did not control her intentions and always maintained her own frequency calmly.
Although Mu Wenyao did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he was accustomed to the sound of the uniform horse hooves. When a discordant sound suddenly appeared, coupled with his preoccupied mind, he felt as uncomfortable as if he were being scratched by a cat.
Since Lin Jinghan's horse hoof sounds cannot be the same as theirs, then they should just be like her.
Mu Wenyao controlled the horse and gradually changed his frequency. Soon, the sound of his horse's hooves became consistent with Lin Jinghan's.
Seeing this, the secret guards tactfully changed the frequency of their riding. Soon, the frequency of the other secret guards' riding was consistent with Lin Jinghan's, and the abrupt sound of Lin Jinghan's horse hooves was finally harmonized by them.
However, at this time, there was another very discordant voice, that is - Sikong Zhan. He still maintained the previous frequency, and did not change the frequency of his riding just because everyone else changed their frequency.
So, in the end, the entire team still couldn't unify the sound of horse hooves.
The group galloped all the way through a dense forest and arrived at a spacious courtyard.
On summer nights, the courtyard was very quiet, so quiet that even the chirping of insects and birds could not be heard.
"As you requested, I have come to see Ling'er. Why don't you show yourself and meet me?" Everyone stopped at the door. Sikong Zhan sat on his horse with a calm expression. If you didn't know him, you would think he was in his own house.
