"Minister Lin, you and I both know that there is no father-daughter relationship between you and me. Therefore, if you and your family have nothing to do in the future, there is no need to come to Jingnan Palace to 'visit' me." Lin Jinghan was really disgusted by this Minister Lin: not only did he abandon his wife and daughter, but he also pushed his daughter into the fire pit with his own hands. Now he even has the audacity to inquire about news in the name of a father. It's outrageous!
Lin Jingshan walked out the door without even turning his head. He snorted and laughed at his daughter's naivety in his heart: As long as she was his daughter, no matter how bad their relationship was, she would have to endure whatever he wanted to do with her! But she had no choice whether she was happy or not!
"Okay, everyone has left, no need for injection." Lin Jinghan said weakly. The wound hurt even more after being tormented by Lin Xiang.
"Lie down and don't move. If I stop now, all my efforts will be in vain." Xiang Yuanqing continued to give acupuncture while explaining the acupuncture method to Lin Jinghan.
"Senior," Lin Jinghan interrupted him, "I'm not from Tianque Pavilion. Is it inappropriate for you to teach me your medical skills like this?"
Well, she admitted that even if he didn't tell her, as the one receiving the acupuncture, she knew exactly how he performed the acupuncture. However, learning on one's own was one thing, but having him actively teach her was another.
"Don't worry, I won't use this to force you to join Tianque Pavilion." Xiang Yuanqing said confidently:
"This Pavilion Master believes that one day, you will willingly accept me as your disciple!"
Lin Jinghan didn't want to argue about this matter, so she simply closed her eyes and kept silent.
After the acupuncture was completed, he asked the maid to reapply medicine to her and repeatedly warned her not to move. He found an excuse to send all the maids in the room away, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured the tea onto the ground.
As the sound of tea falling to the ground rang out, he handed her a booklet and whispered, "Two people followed you in the woods that day. They were Prince Jingnan's men. This was found on one of them."
After pouring the pot of water, he also finished speaking, took out a bottle of medicine, placed it beside the bed, and left.
Lin Jinghan was shocked. She had never imagined that Sikong Zhan would actually send someone to follow her! She took several deep breaths before slowly opening the booklet. She didn't recognize many of the words on it, but she could clearly see the word "Princess" that appeared the most!
He flipped through several pages in a row. The content was so extensive that it must have been more than just a day or two! This meant that he had someone following her and recording her every moment for more than just a day or two!
Her heart instantly sank. She threw the booklet to the ground, completely ignoring the wounds on her body that were split open by her violent movements. She laughed so hard that tears came out: So everything about her was being monitored! Did she even have her own privacy? She was so naive to think that they could coexist peacefully! What a joke!
Finally, she was exhausted from laughing. She leaned softly against the headboard, letting the blood flow out of the broken wound, and murmured, "Senior, thank you." If he hadn't told her, she would probably have been kept in the dark for a long, long time...
He glanced at the pamphlets scattered on the floor, supported himself to get out of bed, picked them up, lit a tinder, and burned them cleanly.
When Shiqi walked in with the porridge, she saw Lin Jinghan standing by the bed. She was almost covered in blood, her face as white as paper. She was so scared that she dropped the tray in her hand. The porcelain bowl broke with a ping-pong sound, and she exclaimed, "Princess, what's wrong with you!" She hurriedly helped the princess lie back on the bed.
"I moved too much when getting out of bed just now and pulled the wound. Just change the medicine and it will be fine. There's no need to make a fuss." Lin Jinghan calmed down and let Shiqi help her lie back on the bed and closed her eyes.
Shiqi picked up the medicine bottle on the bedside table and carefully reapplied the medicine to Lin Jinghan. Seeing that she seemed to want to sleep, she tiptoed to pick up the debris on the ground. She caught a glimpse of a pile of ashes next to her, and looked at Lin Jinghan on the bed with a puzzled look. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she picked up the ashes and slowly retreated.
The headquarters of the Jingnan Army.
Looking at the Jingnan Army twitching on the ground after taking the antidote, Sikong Zhan clenched his fists and said, "Why is this happening? Aren't those antidotes okay?"
The military doctors knelt down quickly:
"We prepared the antidote according to the princess' instructions. They became like this after taking the antidote. We don't know why..."
"Yes, since the antidote was developed by the princess, she might know the reason!"
"Why not invite the princess over? She will definitely be able to save us all!"
…
"Shut up!" Sikong Zhan flicked his sleeves, throwing all the kneeling military doctors to the ground. "You always blame the princess for everything. What's the point of me raising you? You've practiced medicine for so many years, and all you've learned is to shirk responsibility!"
The military doctors endured the pain and quickly prostrated themselves on the ground. Apart from apologizing, they dared not say anything more.
"Tang Xun, take some medicine and the poisoned person's blood, and go to the palace to ask Xiang Yuanqing, the Pavilion Master, for help. Remember, the princess must not know about this!" Given that woman's personality, if she knew about this, she would definitely rush to save them at all costs! But the woman was so seriously injured, she couldn't leave at all. We had to keep this secret from her!
No one dared to speak anymore, except Doctor Ran, who walked up to Sikong Zhan and said, "Your Highness, I have a different opinion on this matter."
"Speak!" Sikong Zhan's tone was anxious.
"According to what the princess said before, the poison was administered separately. The two drugs are not poisonous separately, and we can't even detect the difference. But if the two drugs are mixed together, they will produce a poison. So, this time, the herbs we brought back might have mixed with the poison in the bodies of these poisoned Jingnan soldiers, creating a new poison?"
"Then let's research in this direction!" Sikong Zhan could no longer suppress his anger: Murong Shuo, he actually tampered with the herbs!
Doctor Ran scratched his head and whispered, "Your Highness, this was discovered by the princess. We don't have the ability to find out..."
Sikong Zhan gave Doctor Ran a sidelong glance, and he was so scared that he quickly hid behind Mu Wenyao.
Tang Xun had collected everything Sikong Zhan requested and was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and didn't know whether he should leave or not.
Sikong Zhan glanced around and noticed the expectation in the eyes of the people present. He knew that Lin Jinghan might really have to take action in this matter. However, her body, and that day, he treated her like that, and she ran out crying. She probably didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, right?
"Wen Yao, I leave this to you." He took the things from Tang Xun's hand, told Tang Xun to stay, and left quickly.
"The prince is going to invite the princess, right?" Doctor Ran raised his head and looked at Mu Wenyao in front of him.
Lin Jinghan's injury was kept secret from the outside world. Except for those who were present at the time, no one else knew the truth.
