"Princess, why are you standing here?" Lin Jinghan asked with concern.

Sikong Ling was so aggrieved that she almost cried, "I was worried about my elder brother and wanted to go in to visit him, but they wouldn't let me in."

Sikong Zhan wanted to fake the poisoning and make it perfect, so naturally the fewer people who saw him the better. However, he didn't expect that he would even stop his own sister at the door. Lin Jinghan shook her head helplessly and advised:

"Princess, the prince is in critical condition and cannot see anyone. I need to detoxify him and cannot leave. The entire palace is counting on you to take charge of the situation. Please return quickly and comfort everyone in the palace. Don't let them speculate or feel uneasy."

Sikong Ling stared at Lin Jinghan, tears finally falling from her eyes. Her pitiful yet forcedly strong appearance melted everyone's heart. "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will take care of all the matters in the palace. Please focus on helping big brother detoxify!"

Lin Jinghan walked into Sikong Zhan's bedroom and glanced at the pale Sikong Zhan lying on the bed. She was quite impressed by his skill in pretending to be sick. She moved a stool and sat beside the bed, "Your Highness, there are no outsiders here. You can get up now."

The person on the bed sat up, feeling rather awkward, and saluted, "Greetings, Princess. The prince has left for something..."

"Ah? He Chao?!" Lin Jinghan stood up and left the bedroom. Sikong Zhan, the main character, was so unprofessional, leaving without a second thought and calling in a double to pretend he was sick. Why should she still go along with the act? Acting was so tiring. She would rather go back to Nuanfengyuan to study.

Lin Jinghan devoted herself to her studies. Before she knew it, dusk was approaching and the maid came to call her for dinner.

As soon as I arrived at the kitchen, I saw Sikong Zhan sitting at the table, "Hurry up and eat. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well."

"So soon?" Lin Jinghan sat down and ate heartily, mumbling as she ate, "How many people are hoping for your early death?"

"Their wishes are destined to fail." Sikong Zhan smiled domineeringly.

Just as it got dark and they hadn't finished their dinner yet, an unexpected guest came to the Prince of Jingnan's Palace.

A man in purple with a golden mask sat on the roof of Prince Jingnan's mansion, holding two jugs of wine. "Prince Jingnan, an old friend is here to visit you. Why don't you show yourself and meet him?"

The sound was obviously not loud, but everyone in Jingnan Palace heard it clearly.

Lin Jinghan smacked her lips, pointed at herself, then at Sikong Zhan, and silently asked, "Are you going or should I go?"

Sikong Zhan pointed at Lin Jinghan, then pointed at the door, signaling Lin Jinghan to go out and send the people away.

Lin Jinghan looked reluctantly at the unfinished food on the table, pouted, and walked out. She stood in the middle of the yard, looked around, and finally found the person who came. She put her hands on her hips and accused him:

"Who is that on the roof? It's very rude to stand on someone else's roof like this!"

The man lowered his head and looked at Lin Jinghan, with a curious look in his eyes. Seeing that there was no internal energy fluctuation around her, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Little girl, I'm looking for King Jingnan. Tell your prince to come out and see me."

"My prince is ill in bed and cannot meet with guests. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Oh?" The man was surprised. He looked at Lin Jinghan and asked suspiciously, "Are you the Princess of Jingnan?"

Lin Jinghan waved to Shiqi, who was standing beside her, and asked her to take her to the rooftop. Talking to people with your head tilted up was tiring. "You're talking too much nonsense! I'm not the princess, are you? If you have something to say, just say it. If not, please leave!"

Sikong Zhan's heart trembled and he almost choked on the food in his mouth. He finally managed to hold back his cough.

Perhaps not expecting Lin Jinghan to speak so bluntly and forcefully, the purple-robed man coughed and covered his lips with his hands. "Since you are the princess, and Prince Jingnan refuses to come forward, then please come with me."

Before he could finish his words, the figure of the man in purple suddenly blurred, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Lin Jinghan, reaching out to grab her.

Shiqi quickly took Lin Jinghan and flew backwards, but Shiqi's speed was no match for the purple-clothed man's speed, and Lin Jinghan was about to be caught!

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Four golden needles suddenly flew towards the man in purple. The man in purple did not expect that Lin Jinghan, a young woman who didn't know any martial arts at all, would attack him. He quickly retracted his hand and barely blocked her golden needles.

Lin Jinghan moved to another rooftop and continued standing, giggling, "Hey, has anyone ever told you that if you stretch your hands too far, they'll get chopped off?"

"It would be nice to chop off your hands that can wield golden needles and play with them." The purple-clothed man's eyes flashed and he flew towards Lin Jinghan again.

This time, the secret guards were already prepared and would not let what just happened happen again. They all rushed out and surrounded the man in purple.

The purple-robed man showed no fear at all and slapped the guard standing between him and Lin Jinghan. Then, everyone was shocked to find that the purple-robed man's slap didn't even move a single breath...

Shocked to find that his internal energy was suddenly ineffective, the purple-clothed man looked at his palm in panic. It was completely black! The golden needle she had just used was poisonous! "You used poison?!"

Lin Jinghan laughed even more happily and said slowly:

"I'm the only one in the world who can cure my poison. Unfortunately, you're overreaching, and I don't want to save you. So, I suggest you cut off your own arm. Maybe you can save your life."

The man in purple quickly swallowed a pill, then waved his hand, and dozens of men in black appeared out of thin air. Two of them took the man in purple away, and the others stayed behind to fight with the secret guards of Prince Jingnan's Mansion.

"Little girl, I will remember you." The voice of the man in purple came from a distance, but he had already walked away.

After his master left safely, the man in black no longer wanted to fight, flew into the air and disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Jinghan was stunned. Appearing out of thin air, then disappearing out of thin air, what kind of kung fu was this? It looked amazing!

She asked Shiqi to take her down from the roof and quickly go to find Sikong Zhan.

Looking at her shining eyes, knowing that she was curious about the identity of the outsider, Sikong Zhan said without waiting for her to ask:

"He is Baili Zhe, the Sixth Prince of Xiqi. Xiqi is known for its special abilities. What you witnessed today was their invisibility technique. Those men in black have been hiding around the palace since early morning. They didn't appear out of thin air, nor did they disappear out of thin air. Now is not the time to confront him. If you can get rid of him, it will be a commendation."

By the way, what kind of poison was on your golden needle that allowed Baili Zhe to escape so easily?"

Lin Jinghan raised her eyebrows, "I won't tell you! Anyway, as long as he doesn't have my antidote, his hand will be useless! Who told him to catch me..."

Sikong Zhan shook his head. "I still haven't figured out how to counter the Xiqi Kingdom's invisibility technique, so it's difficult to deal with. Give me a portion of the antidote, and I'll find a chance to blackmail him with it. We'll split it 50-50, so he doesn't have to pester you for the antidote in the future, which would be a hassle."
