"The princess is seriously injured..." Mu Wenyao spoke the truth with difficulty: the situation was urgent, and everyone was looking forward to the princess coming to rescue her. If he kept the princess's injury a secret, everyone would probably blame the prince and princess...
"What! The princess is injured!" Doctor Ran was the first to jump up and down, tightly grasping Mu Wenyao's hand, "Why is the princess injured? Where is she now? Take me to treat her!"
The other people present looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally understood why the princess never showed up despite such a big incident; they finally understood why the prince was angry, and it was really wrong for them to ask the princess to show up when she was seriously injured!
Can they really only watch their companions being poisoned?
"The princess has been sent back to the palace. Someone is treating her. You don't have to worry. Now, cheer up. Our companions are still waiting for us to rescue them!" Mu Wenyao walked towards the wounded camp with determination. Seeing this, the others put away their sorrow and followed him...
"Yes! We can't give up!" Doctor Ran Xiao thought of something, hurried back to his tent, took out his whistle and blew it.
A carrier pigeon flew over. He tied the written letter for help to the pigeon's leg. The pigeon flapped its wings, flew around him, and then flew away quickly.
Dad, I hope you receive the letter and come here quickly! After watching the carrier pigeon fly away, Doctor Ran ran back to the wounded camp.
On the other side, Sikong Zhan rushed all the way to the Jingnan Palace. When he arrived, he immediately went to find Xiang Yuanqing and solemnly bowed to him as a junior. "The Jingnan army has been poisoned and is in imminent danger. I beg Pavilion Master Xiang to help save them!"
"Poisoned? What are the symptoms? Tell me!" Knowing that Sikong Zhan would not ask for help easily, Xiang Yuanqing sat up straight, very cautious.
"They were poisoned earlier. They first had constant abdominal pain, and soon their faces turned ashen and they lost consciousness. Later, we prepared an antidote. Someone must have tampered with the antidote. After taking the antidote, their whole bodies convulsed and they were unable to speak." Sikong Zhan handed the prepared items to Xiang Yuanqing and added,
"It's Nan Zhao's poison."
Xiang Yuanqing looked solemn. He carefully took the item and examined it carefully.
Sikong Zhan kept staring at Xiang Yuanqing. Seeing that his expression became more and more solemn and he shook his head from time to time, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
"Nan Zhao's poison has always been strange. The poison in the Jingnan Army has undergone three changes, and its toxicity has long become extremely complex. Unless the poisoner comes in person to detoxify the poison layer by layer, it will be extremely difficult for anyone else to detoxify it..." Xiang Yuanqing sighed helplessly and suggested,
"When it comes to detoxification, the people of Medicine King Valley are the best at it. If the Medicine King can help, perhaps the Jingnan Army still has a chance of survival."
"Thank you for your help, Pavilion Master!" Sikong Zhan bowed again and turned to leave.
Speaking of Medicine King Valley, Doctor Ran was from the Valley, but he wondered if he could persuade the Medicine King to come out of the mountains. He wrote a letter, summoned the secret guards, and asked them to personally deliver it to Doctor Ran. After much deliberation, he finally went to Lin Jinghan's Nuanfeng Courtyard.
Along the way, he thought a lot, wondering if she was still angry and aggrieved about what happened that day, what would happen to her in the future, and what he really felt for her now...
He remembered clearly that when he saw her covered in blood and being held by someone else, his heart ached so much! No matter how he had ignored his feelings in the past, today, he had to admit that he had fallen in love with her...
Arriving at the door, she stopped the maid from reporting and walked in directly. She saw Lin Jinghan sitting at the head of the bed, reading a book. Perhaps to make her wound heal faster, she was only wearing a gauze. Apart from the gauze wrapped around her wound, the rest of her skin was faintly visible under the gauze...
Feeling that the atmosphere was suddenly wrong, she looked up and saw Sikong Zhan standing there. She thought that he came in without asking, which was indeed the style of King Jingnan. She sneered in her heart and ordered him to leave without any hesitation, "Close your eyes! Turn around! Get out!" She continued to read and was completely unwilling to pay any attention to him.
Sikong Zhan's eyes flickered, and he actually turned around. Without looking at her again, he said seriously, "I have something important to discuss with you."
She put the book down, called the secretary to get her coat and put it on her, and said coldly, "If you have something to say, please tell me now. Don't stand here and disturb my recovery."
He dismissed the secretary and placed the herbs and poisonous blood he had brought on the table. He turned around and looked at her, "Murong Shuo tampered with the herbs. Not only did the people who took the antidote not get better, they were twitching all over and unable to speak..."
"So?" She asked casually, then picked up the book and continued reading, looking nonchalant.
Knowing that she was still angry with him, Sikong Zhan softened his tone, "You know this poison best. If you can save their lives, I will make you another promise."
"A promise? Thousands of lives! The prince's promise is really valuable~~" Lin Jinghan suddenly smiled, put down the book, raised an eyebrow and looked at Sikong Zhan.
"How about, Your Highness, please fulfill the promise you owe me first, and then we can discuss this deal."
Sikong Zhan looked deeply at Lin Jinghan: In the past, she had saved people without hesitation and without expecting anything in return, but this time, she actually said that this was a "deal"! It seemed that Wen Yao was right. Angry women were irrational and unreasonable.
"Okay, just tell me what you want me to do." Since he was sure of his feelings for her, and she was still hurt, he decided to go along with her a little more.
"I want my freedom. I want you to stop forcing me to do anything. From now on, you live in Gaoyuan Hall and I live in Nuanfeng Courtyard. In front of outsiders, I am the Princess of Jingnan. At other times, we will carve out a path between us!" She finished what she wanted to say the most in one breath, then raised her head and looked at him, refusing to give in.
Ever since she became the Princess of Jingnan, she had been helping him, helping him to deal with the courtiers' inquiries, helping him to resolve the mining disaster, helping him to save people... But how did he treat her? Not only did he constantly send people to monitor her, but after she wholeheartedly helped him obtain the life-saving herb, he used it as punishment to be disrespectful to her!
She could no longer let him dominate their relationship. She wanted him to know that she was not his property!
"You want to draw a line between you and me?" He felt a chill all over his body. He stared at her closely, enunciating each word and approaching her step by step!
He never imagined that when he had just confirmed his feelings and wanted to make her his real princess, she would draw a clear line with him!
"Yes!" She met his gaze, not afraid of the chill around him, and said firmly,
"This is my condition, I won't change it!"
"What if I don't agree?!" He felt even colder and colder, and the rage he had been suppressing was about to burst out!
