Chapter 391 Extra: The princess is possessed by a demon?
Jun Qingyan looked at the box in front of him, but did not reach out to take it. He just smiled and said, "Your salary is far less than my monthly salary, so you should save it to buy a big house in the future. Besides, you have been our sparring partner for nearly half a year, and you did not accept the remuneration we gave you during this period. How can I accept your gift again?"
"I have saved up a lot of money." Xie Lin quickly replied, "It's okay to buy a gift for the princess."
"You said at the beginning that before you met us, there was no one around you who treated you sincerely, so you dared to treat us as your good friends. Since we are friends, if you only give gifts to me and not to others, wouldn't it be unreasonable?"
Jun Qingyan said leisurely, "But if I ask you to make up for the gifts of others, then you will have to spend more money. Think about it, it is really unnecessary. You should just not give any gifts. If you really want to give gifts, wait until you make a lot of money in the future."
Xie Lin couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this.
"Princess, actually..." He hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "You are different from others."
Jun Qingyan was not surprised to hear this, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the difference?"
Just as Xie Lin was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of something moving on the ground. Turning around, he saw a small orange-red snake with its tongue sticking out and arching its body towards Jun Qingyan's position.
Xie Lin's expression changed, "Princess, be careful!"
As he spoke, he quickly pushed Jun Qingyan away!
Jun Qingyan fell to the side, and almost at the same time, the little snake's body rushed out. Xie Lin didn't have time to retract his hand and was bitten on the wrist by the little snake.
Jun Qingyan turned around and saw this scene and was also shocked.
Meanwhile, Xie Lin had already grabbed the snake's vital point with his other hand, wrapped the entire snake up, threw it to the ground and stomped on it. The force from his internal energy was enough to crush the snake to death.
Jun Qingyan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Lin's hand. Seeing that the wound was black and purple, he knew that the little snake was poisonous.
The color of the little snake almost blended in with the flower field, and the place where it attacked was in her blind spot. If Xie Lin hadn't pushed her away with quick eyes, she would have been the one bitten by the snake.
But...actually it's not a big deal if you get bitten, because among their group, there is a descendant of a miracle doctor.
"Xiao Yue!" Jun Qingyan turned around and shouted to Jiang Jinyue who was flying a kite in the distance, "Stop flying the kite and come here quickly!"
As she spoke, she pulled out a medicine box from her sleeve pocket and took out a pill and gave it to Xie Lin. "This pill clears away heat and detoxifies, and has a relieving effect on common snake venom. Take one first."
Xie Lin swallowed the pill, and Jiang Jinyue came back soon, "What happened?"
"Xie Lin was bitten by a poisonous snake, come and take a look."
Jiang Jinyue quickly took Xie Lin's pulse, then turned around to get the medicine box.
She picked up a herb from the medicine box and crushed it, let Xie Lin drink the juice, and then applied the remaining crushed herb on the wound.
"I taught you the silver needle method to force out poison before. Have you forgotten it?" Jiang Jinyue said to Jun Qingyan, "Now is a good opportunity to practice it. Come and try it."
As she spoke, she handed the needle bag to Jun Qingyan.
Jun Qingyan twitched the corner of his lips, "Try it on him?"
"He's safe now, all that's left is to get rid of the remaining poison. Go ahead and try, but if it doesn't work, I'm here for you! He'll definitely be fine in the end."
"Just as the county lady said." Xie Lin continued, "I don't feel uncomfortable at the moment. Since the princess has learned medical skills, she must practice them. There is no harm in giving it a try."
Seeing that Xie Lin had no objection, Jun Qingyan took the needle bag and said, "Well, I'll give it a try."
In the following time, Jiang Jinyue began to guide Jun Qingyan seriously.
“Yes, this is the location.”
"It's too shallow this time, push it in a little deeper."
"The time for extracting the detoxifying juice cannot be too short, otherwise the effect will not be good. It doesn't matter if it's a little longer."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Our Yanyan really has a good memory and can learn it once she is taught."
After a long time, the detoxification was completely completed. Jun Qingyan pulled out the silver needle from Xie Lin's body and asked him, "How do you feel now?"
"My arm is a little weak, but other than that, I don't feel any other discomfort."
"This is normal." Jiang Jinyue explained, "The body needs to adapt to the effect of the medicine. The medicine is used on your arm, so you feel that you can't use your strength. It will be fine after an hour or two. By the way, why did you get bit by a snake for no reason?"
"The snake crawled from behind me and was going to attack me, but Xie Lin was quick-eyed and pushed me away. He didn't have time to retract his hand, so he got bitten."
"I see." Jiang Jinyue turned around and glanced at Xie Lin. "You are very courageous for protecting the princess at the first possible moment."
Xie Lin said: "This is what I should do."
"The brighter the color of the snake, the more likely it is to be poisonous. Did you ever think at that moment that this poisonous snake might kill you?"
Listening to Jun Qingyan's question, Xie Lin lowered his eyes, "I didn't have time to think about so much just now. I was just thinking that I must not let the princess get hurt no matter what."
Jun Qingyan was stunned. "I did have a favor towards you, but I never asked you to repay me with your life. After all, saving you was just a piece of cake for me."
"But the princess's help changed my life." Xie Lin raised his eyes and stared at Jun Qingyan with a firm expression. "Mother said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Besides, I am not just grateful to the princess..."
"I know there are many people around you who want to protect you. Maybe I am just a nobody to you, but please believe me, I am willing to go through fire and water for you at any time."
Jun Qingyan looked at him for a moment, his eyes gradually softened, "A hero's origin is not important. In my opinion, you are not a small figure. With this kind of character, you may become a big figure in the future."
Xie Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Does the princess really think so?"
"Of course." Jun Qingyan said, "If I only regarded you as a nobody, why would I let you accompany us to practice martial arts all the time, and bring you along when we go out to play? It's good to be humble, but you should also have confidence in yourself. With your ability and perseverance, you will achieve something in the future."
"Then I will borrow the princess's good words." Xie Lin raised the corners of his lips and handed the gift box that he had not given away to Jun Qingyan again, "So, princess, are you willing to accept my gift now?"
"Not yet." Jun Qingyan still refused with a smile, "If you really want to give it to me, keep it for now and give it to me after I reach the age of 15."
Xie Lin clenched the gift in his hand and replied, "Princess, rest assured. I will definitely make contributions to the court and let others look up to me. Then... just like what the princess said, I will save enough silver and give the princess a gift. The princess will be able to accept it with peace of mind, right?"
"You could say that."
Jiang Jinyue, who was standing by, listened to their conversation and looked up at the sky.
Although Yanyan did not accept Xie Lin's gift today, it can be heard from her words that... Xie Lin did leave a very good impression on her.
They had known Xie Lin for a long time since February, and now it was July. After spending such a long time together, she had come to realize that, apart from not having a good family background, there was nothing to fault with Xie Lin in other aspects.
He is good-looking, skilled in martial arts, and courageous. In times of crisis, he is willing to protect Yanyan regardless of his own safety...
No wonder Yanyan treats him differently.
Yanyan was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. In terms of family background, there is no one in the entire Tianqi country with a better family background than her, so she will not be snobbish. Compared with family background, she cares more about a person's ability and character.
Just as she said, a hero is not judged by his origin. If Xie Lin can make contributions to the court with his own abilities in the future, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to a higher position. At that time, others will not only look at his family background.
Yanyan and him... maybe they really are destined to be together?
…
In the middle of summer in August, the sun is scorching.
"Thank you, brother. You are so lucky. I used to think that the princess only wanted you to practice martial arts with them because you were good at it. But now it seems that it is not just that."
"Tell me the truth, princess, are you interested in me? Otherwise, why didn't she leave you behind when she went out to play? I wish I was as handsome as you."
Listening to the teasing of his colleagues, Xie Lin said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense. The princess hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. They took me with them when they went out to play just to let me protect their safety. That's all."
"Brother Xie, you don't have to be modest. If they just want guards, don't they have enough guards? The last thing they lack is guards."
"It's true that the princess hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, but that doesn't mean she can't have someone in her heart. If she has a crush on someone, she can keep it in mind. After she reaches the age of marriage, she can ask His Majesty and King Bingjian to grant her marriage."
"The princess is very beloved, and she will be crowned a king after she reaches the age of 15. If you can really have a relationship with the princess, it would be a great blessing from your ancestors. You must behave well, and maybe you will really marry the princess in the future. When you become successful, don't forget us brothers."
Xie Lin was too lazy to pay attention to his colleagues.
His Royal Highness Prince Ning had long ago warned him that he could get along well with the princess, but he must not overstep the boundaries of duty, and certainly not use the princess's power to show off in public.
All his actions are under the control of Prince Ning, and perhaps there are Prince Ning's spies among his colleagues.
So he must abide by the rules, not let Prince Ning down, and certainly not let the princess down.
Although he was well aware of the gap between himself and the princess, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.
The two-year plan customized by Prince Ning required him to betray the princess' trust before she reached the age of 15, so that the princess would understand that the most trustworthy person in the world is herself. Love between men and women can exist, but one should not be deeply involved in it. If one cannot find someone who is absolutely sincere, then it is better to be without someone than to settle for someone who is not good enough.
After all, the princess's family background was there, and there were so many people who wanted to get close to her. She had to learn to distinguish between the sincerity and falsehood of others.
The King allows others to devote all their sincerity to the princess, but he does not want the princess to treat others in the same way.
Xie Lin couldn't help but sigh that the imperial power was indeed overbearing.
But - it's great to have power. With power you can do whatever you want. Even if others are dissatisfied, they can only criticize it in their hearts.
To be fair, he really didn't want to disappoint the princess, but he couldn't disobey King Ning's order.
Then he could only let things take their course. After all, there was so much time left. Maybe things would turn around in the future? If he performed well enough during this period, he might be able to plead with King Ning to change his original plan.
Or he could choose to confess everything to the princess? But now he could still tell that the princess had a good impression of him, but she didn't like him very much.
While Xie Lin was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from the front. He turned around and saw that it was the palace maid beside Jun Qingyan.
"Thank you, Master. The princess asked you to go to Liudan Pavilion. She seemed a little irritable during her practice today. Your martial arts are better than the princess's, so maybe you can give her some pointers."
Upon hearing this, Xie Lin stood up and said, "I'll go right away."
Led by the palace maid, he quickly arrived outside Liudan Pavilion, but before he stepped over the threshold, he heard a crackling sound coming from inside.
It sounded like tables, chairs, cups, plates and other objects being smashed.
This surprised Xie Lin a little.
The princess was so angry today? If she just didn't practice well, it wouldn't be like this...
He stepped over the threshold, but the scene in front of him shocked him.
Jun Qingyan's condition was definitely not just irritable, it could almost be described as 'crazy'.
Not only did she smash the objects in front of her, but even the palace guards around her were lying on the ground. She seemed to have lost her mind and was indiscriminately destroying everything around her. Two guards tried to capture her, but she kicked them away.
This situation is clearly - being possessed by a demon!
Xie Lin suddenly remembered that Jun Qingyan was practicing a very powerful Kung Fu, which was taught by King Bingjian himself, called Piao Miao Zhen Jue. If this Kung Fu was practiced well, he would become a rare master in the future. But if it was not practiced well, he would go astray and his martial arts skills would be greatly reduced at best, or completely ruined and leave him with a chronic illness.
People who have gone astray will lose touch with their relatives. As the energy in their dantian runs wild and their internal strength is out of control, they will burst out with power stronger than usual and will then collapse after the outburst.
Xie Lin really wanted to stop her, but Jun Qingyan's power was too strong at the moment. The people lying around her were motionless, and perhaps they had already died and were killed by her by mistake.
So Xie Lin hesitated.
When Jiang Jinyue rushed over, he was also shocked when he saw the tragic scene in the courtyard.
"Yanyan has gone too far in her training!" Jiang Jinyue turned to look at Xie Lin, "Let's go up and subdue her together. We can't let her go crazy any further!"
"County Lady, the princess is much stronger than usual right now. I'm afraid that even if we join forces, we can't take her down. We have to ask King Ning to come over."
"How can we have so much time!" Jiang Jinyue scolded, "If we delay for a moment, she will be in danger for a moment. Once her heart meridian is damaged, she will become a disabled person!"
While the two were talking, Jun Qingyan had already split the stone table in half with one palm.
Jiang Jinyue urged Xie Lin, "Hurry up! You go left and I go right, let's go together!"
Seeing that Xie Lin was still hesitating, Jiang Jinyue gritted his teeth and decided to subdue Jun Qingyan himself.
"County Lady, calm down!" Xie Lin hurriedly stopped Jiang Jinyue, "The princess doesn't recognize you at all at this moment. If you rush up to her rashly, I'm afraid..."
“Get lost!”
