"Jinghan girl, I heard you were poisoned!" Xiang Yuanqing grabbed Lin Jinghan's hand as soon as he landed. "Don't worry, I'm here, you'll be fine!"
"Pavilion Master Xiang!" Lin Jinghan didn't let Xiang Yuanqing catch her, and revealed his identity. At the same time, she bowed to Xiang Yuanqing earnestly, "My poison has been cured, senior, don't worry."
The medical space has completely cured her, even her previous injuries. If Xiang Yuanqing finds out, it will be difficult to explain.
Doctor Ran also jumped off the guard's back, shouting "Princess", and wanted to come over to take Lin Jinghan's pulse.
"Just now, the prince took out the drug for me. After I woke up, I fed him the detoxification pill. He hasn't woken up yet, and I still have some things to take care of. Please help look after the prince." Lin Jinghan knew that Xiang Yuanqing had an extraordinary status in the martial arts world, but now it involved court affairs, and it would be bad to drag him into it.
Xiang Yuanqing also understood this principle, and asked Doctor Ran to treat Sikong Zhan together.
Lin Jinghan put away her gentleness and glanced around coldly.
"The Prime Minister is absolutely right. In that case, I, the princess, do not want to delay my sister. Let's put it this way. Wanrou will enter the palace on time. However, the wedding procession will be replaced by people from my Jingnan Palace! Furthermore, to prevent anyone from tampering with my sister's dowry, the dowry will be left at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Until the real culprit is found, no one else, including the dowry, may leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Regardless of who is to blame for this matter, my Jingnan Palace will bear the full responsibility!"
Lin Jinghan looked at Mu Wenyao and Tang Xun. Before she could speak, the two of them led the guards of Prince Jingnan's Mansion and surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion. They completely ignored the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to interrogate everyone present one by one.
"Nonsense!" Lin Jinghan wanted Wanrou, a noble concubine, to enter the palace alone! This was to make her the laughing stock of the entire capital! Minister Lin was furious. Before he could say anything, the eldest princess had already started to rebuke him:
"This is the Prime Minister's residence. You, the people from Prince Jingnan's residence, are not allowed to run wild here! Wanrou must enter the palace on time. No one can be left behind with her dowry or escort!"
Lin Jinghan exuded an air of chill as she approached the eldest princess. "Eldest Princess, Prime Minister Lin, you're still so stubborn in this situation. Could it be that the person who harmed me is hiding in this wedding procession? Or, even if the prince and I were to die on the spot, you would still send Wanrou into the palace without blinking an eye? What do you think the emperor would think when faced with a concubine who doesn't care about his eldest sister's life at all and only cares about her own glory and wealth?"
This directly pushed Lin Wanrou to the forefront. Now, whether she entered the palace or not, she had no good reputation.
"You! You!" The princess pointed at Lin Jinghan, her chest heaving violently. Without catching her breath, she fainted...
"Come here, go and treat the eldest princess!" Lin Jinghan acted like the master of the house. She asked someone to send the eldest princess back to her room for treatment and then said:
"In today's incident, this princess was innocently harmed and nearly lost her life. I don't want to jeopardize Wanrou's happiness any further. It will only bring pain to her loved ones and joy to her enemies. Come! Send this princess's sister to the palace!"
Several guards from the Jingnan Palace immediately came over, blocking the way between the wedding procession and Lin Wanrou, and said to Lin Wanrou, "Please!"
Lin Wanrou's tears fell, and she stood there, refusing to move, tightly tugging at Lin Xiang's clothes, "Daddy..."
"Minister Lin, you have to think carefully. The people from the palace who came to pick up Wanrou will wait outside for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, they will return to the palace to report. Whether Wanrou enters the palace or not is up to you!"
Minister Lin weighed the pros and cons. Even if Lin Wanrou entered the palace today, it would be better than missing the time and missing the position of empress. After all, she would have to get married when she was crowned empress. This time, a little grievance was nothing. He patted Lin Wanrou's hand and comforted her:
"Wanrou, something unexpected happened today. Someone poisoned your sister. Prince Jingnan is still in a coma. Please ask your sister to send someone to escort you out of the palace. After you enter the palace, serve the emperor well. The emperor knows that you have been wronged today and will definitely love you well."
Lin Wanrou nodded while crying, and walked out of the door under the escort of the guards of Jingnan Palace, and got on the imperial sedan chair. Turning back, she looked at the mess inside, her eyes full of hatred:
Her only wedding ceremony in her life was ruined just like that! She was a noble concubine, and this wedding should have been the most noble woman in the capital getting married, but now it had become the laughing stock of the entire capital! Why did Lin Jinghan ruin her wedding?
After sending the bride away, the Prime Minister's Mansion began a comprehensive investigation. No one in the Jingnan Palace was trusted, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were completely sidelined.
Minister Lin's face turned pale. He naturally would not tolerate the Jingnan Palace taking over the main role. But Lin Jinghan said that anyone would be suspected, and anyone who acted recklessly would be regarded as an accomplice in the murder of Princess Jingnan. The momentum was quite terrifying, not much worse than that of the Jingnan Prince himself. Those who wanted to rely on their high position and power and were unwilling to cooperate were frightened into being obedient.
Lin Jinghan knew that simply forcing them would not work. If these people stayed here for too long, it would definitely cause changes. Therefore, as long as they put their hands in the basin and were sure that they were no longer suspicious, Lin Jinghan would have someone escort them out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, in order to leave quickly, everyone was really willing to cooperate.
As more and more people were cleared of suspicion, the remaining people became more and more suspicious. Everyone held their breath and was very cautious, fearing that they would be implicated.
Sikong Zhan was still asleep, and Xiang Yuanqing and Doctor Ran were both guarding him, making them the only two outsiders in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Master Xiang, do you think that we can find the murderer by doing this?" Doctor Ran looked at the basin of water that remained unchanged, puzzled.
Xiang Yuanqing shook his head, then nodded, "That's unspeakable. The princess has her own rules, so just wait and see."
"Oh." Doctor Ran scratched his head. Although he didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions.
Xiang Yuanqing looked at Doctor Ran twice, his eyes showing approval. "Xiao Ran, your method of using medicine is very similar to that of an old friend of mine. I wonder who your teacher is?"
"Master doesn't let me say it." Doctor Ran fixed his eyes on Lin Jinghan and answered casually.
The other party was unwilling to say, and Xiang Yuanqing did not ask. He also looked at the busy Lin Jinghan. He was really bored, so he simply found a stool to sit down and drink tea leisurely.
A burst of orderly footsteps approached this side, and soon, several guards from the Jingnan Palace appeared, holding a maid in their hands and raising her hand high.
"This woman hid under a dry well. If our people hadn't been so careful, we wouldn't have found her. Following the princess's instructions, we soaked her hands in a basin of water. Her hands turned blue. She had indeed come into contact with a poisonous snake!"
