He was angry, but now that he knew the real purpose of King Jingnan, he didn't have to be slaughtered foolishly. "King Jingnan, you should know that the Dragon Pearl is the national treasure of my Xiqi Kingdom. It is extremely precious. Even the princes and princesses can't have more than ten of them."
"Other princes may not have them, but don't you, the Sixth Prince, happen to have ten with you?" Sikong Zhan was confident.
Baili Zhe's face changed instantly. At this moment, he could no longer lie to himself and say that Sikong Zhan asked for ten dragon beads on a whim. He was very sure that Sikong Zhan already knew the biggest purpose of his trip.
He glanced at Lin Jinghan with hatred. It was all her fault. What kind of poison had she given him? His poison doctors had tried for so long but couldn't find a cure! He had no choice but to ask King Jingnan for an antidote!
"I do have them, but I can't give you all ten. You know, Jiaozhu is extremely valuable. Just one is worth more than one million taels! To buy the antidote for one million taels, one is enough!"
Lin Jinghan yawned and tugged at Sikong Zhan's sleeve. "Your Highness, since he's reluctant to give it to me, why should we force him? I have plenty of beauty products. Bargaining is pointless. He's so insincere, so let him continue to endure the pain of the poison. I'm sleepy, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go home." Sikong Zhan pulled Lin Jinghan and continued to walk out without looking back.
The sound of people coming down the stairs could be heard outside. Baili Zhe could no longer hold back. He could endure the pain in his arm, but after being poisoned, he could no longer use his internal strength. If he could not use his internal strength in the future, wouldn't he be a useless person?
He rushed out and shouted downstairs, "Ten dragon beads for you!"
This time, Sikong Zhan did not stop, but said calmly: "Eleven, this is the price you bargained with me."
Eleven, that is to say, in addition to the ten coins given to him by the emperor to do things for him, he also had to take out his own coin, the only coin!
Baili Zhe was going crazy. Seeing that Prince Jingnan was about to walk out of the gate, he closed his eyes and said in pain, "Eleven!"
This time, Sikong Zhan gave him face, turned around and stared at him.
Baili Zhe took out a box angrily, took off the pendant on his chest, took out the dragon pearl on it, put them all into the box, and gave it to the guard beside him.
The guard took the box respectfully and handed it to Sikong Zhan. Sikong Zhan took the box personally, opened it, checked it carefully, then took out a medicine bottle from his arms, threw it to Baili Zhe, and then took Lin Jinghan and left.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Lin Jinghan shook off Sikong Zhan's hand and sat down by herself.
Sikong Zhan looked at his hands in shock. His hands were numb! Incredibly, he asked, "You poisoned me?"
"This is the price you pay for forcibly pulling my hand." The tone was exactly the same as the one Sikong Zhan used to talk to Baili Zhe just now!
She clapped her hands and took the box over. After carefully examining it for a long time, she picked out Baili Zhe's dragon pearl, took out five, and threw the box to Sikong Zhan. "We agreed to split it in half. I'll take a small loss and only take five."
He put the five dragon pearls into his bag and threw a medicine bottle to Sikong Zhan, "For the antidote, just soak your hands in clean water." He closed his eyes and rested again.
The way the prince and princess interacted had already refreshed Mu Wenyao's understanding of Sikong Zhan. The little notebook was already filled with suggestions, and now he added another one: "Remember, everything you have belongs to the princess, and you also belong to the princess! So, give your things to the princess first, and then, in the end, you can give yourself away as well!"
Given the prince's pitiful family status, this was the quickest and best solution. This way, he could retire with honor. Perfect!
When Lin Jinghan woke up again, it was exactly 9:00 PM, the time she got up every day. After asking, she found out that it was Sikong Zhan who carried her back last night.
When I touched my bag, I found that the dragon pearl was gone!
"Aren't they just five beauty beads? How stingy!" After despising Sikong Zhan, she didn't take the matter to heart and started her morning exercises.
Not long after the training started, Sikong Zhan came over, holding his sword, and performed his sword skills perfectly in front of Lin Jinghan.
Mu Wenyao said that he wanted to show his best side in front of the princess, so...
Although Mu Wenyao wrote a lot of suggestions, some of which he felt were unreliable, but when he thought about the fact that he had been repeatedly humiliated in front of the princess, he decided to trust Mu Wenyao for once.
Lin Jinghan pretended he didn't exist and continued to do her job. When it was breakfast time, he not only stuck to her, but also helped her pick up food and asked about her well-being. Lin Jinghan thought that the Prince of Jingnan in front of her had changed, and she was very nervous during the meal.
After breakfast, the two of them went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with 500,000 taels.
Although the emperor marrying his concubine was not as grand as a royal wedding and many wedding ceremonies were not included, it was the prime minister marrying his daughter after all, and the prime minister's mansion was no less lively than when Lin Jinghan got married.
Someone had already been waiting at the door to welcome the bridegroom. When they saw the carriage from Prince Jingnan's Mansion approaching, they hurriedly greeted it: "Greetings, Miss, and greetings, Master!"
Sikong Zhan frowned and flicked his sleeve, sending the welcoming maid flying. "Even the Prime Minister respectfully addresses me as 'Prince of Jingnan', and a mere maidservant is so ignorant of etiquette!"
The people at the door fell to their knees, and the leading maid quickly apologized: "Your Highness, please calm down. That maid is new and doesn't know much." She looked at Lin Jinghan again, intending to plead, "Miss..."
Bang!
This time, the power of Sikong Zhan's flick of his sleeve was even greater. Everyone in front of him was knocked away, and there was a wailing sound at the gate of Prime Minister Lin's mansion.
"Remember, my princess has only one title, and that is 'Princess Jingnan'!"
Lin Jinghan found it strange. Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with her family calling them "Miss" and "Uncle-in-law". Even if Sikong Zhan was looking for trouble, this excuse was really lame...
The noise at the door was so loud that it directly alarmed Minister Lin, who was receiving male guests in the outer courtyard.
Minister Lin inquired about the matter, but he didn't understand what was wrong with Prince Jingnan. He didn't want to argue with Prince Jingnan and disrupt Wanrou's wedding, so he had to endure it, smooth things over, and welcome Sikong Zhan in.
At the same time, the eldest princess also sent someone to bring Lin Jinghan to Lin Wanrou's boudoir.
Although the imperial concubine entered the palace at dusk, because it was not the emperor's wedding, there was no need to carry the imperial concubine around the capital, but the status of Prime Minister Lin and the eldest princess was there, and Lin Wanrou was the only imperial concubine in the palace, so no one dared to neglect her. Those who came to send her off arrived early, and only the King of Jingnan and his wife came after breakfast.
Lin Jinghan arrived late, and without the support of Prince Jingnan, and with the commotion at the door, she naturally became the subject of discussion among the ladies.
