"Take him away and interrogate him strictly. Make sure to find out the mastermind and his accomplices. Keep investigating. Don't leave anyone out!" After finally finding one, Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over to Xiang Yuanqing, took the teapot from him, poured herself a few cups of tea, and asked:
"How is the prince? Hasn't he woken up yet? I'm still waiting for him to wake up and take charge of the situation."
Xiang Yuanqing said calmly, "You're the one who detoxified him, so you should know best when he'll wake up. If you really can't wait, why not give him a few injections?"
Lin Jinghan raised her eyebrows: This senior is just trying to create chaos in the world!
"Cough cough..." Sikong Zhan woke up with the sound of coughing. He subconsciously looked for Lin Jinghan and struggled to get up.
"Hey! Don't move!" Lin Jinghan rushed over immediately and held Sikong Zhan down. "The venom of this snake is very strong. You haven't cleared the poison yet, so you can't move easily." She checked him with concern.
"How are you?" Sikong Zhan's soft voice was full of concern.
"I took the detoxification pill as soon as I was bitten, which was earlier than you, so my condition is better than yours." Lin Jinghan found the most acceptable excuse and fed Sikong Zhan another pill.
Xiang Yuanqing wasn't there at the time, so he didn't doubt it. "Now that everything's fine, girl, tell me, what did you put in that basin of water? How can you use it to find people who have touched a poisonous snake?"
"Poisonous snakes definitely don't appear out of thin air. They must have been brought in by someone. Therefore, anyone who has come into contact with a poisonous snake will have their hands stained with its body fluids. Therefore, I added a drug to the basin that changes color when it comes into contact with the snake's body fluids. This way, he won't be able to hide!"
While they were talking, the guards had already checked everyone and even went to the roster at the Prime Minister's Mansion to check carefully. After confirming that nothing was missed, Mu Wenyao and Tang Xun brought their men to report:
"Your Highness, Princess, apart from the woman just now, no one else's hands changed color."
"In that case, let's go back." Sikong Zhan still kept lying on the ground: Such a big thing happened here, and more than half of the staff of Jingnan Palace were transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The person in the palace should be unable to sit still.
"Okay, let's go home." Under Lin Jinghan's command, everyone carefully lifted Sikong Zhan into the carriage. There were only the two of them in the carriage.
Lin Jinghan was in a complicated mood. She was worried about Sikong Zhan's recent unusual behavior and the fact that he risked his life to save her today. She didn't know how to treat him. After thinking for a long time, she brought up a topic:
"Your Highness, today, at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why did you..." Why were you deliberately looking for trouble?
"On the day of your wedding, they secretly made things difficult for you."
In order to hurt the reputation of Prince Jingnan, the Prime Minister's Mansion, people did not hesitate to make Lin Jinghan, the new bride, look bad when their own daughter was getting married. He knew about this on the same day, but he didn't have time to deal with it at that time. Now that the Prime Minister is marrying off his daughter again, he has to make things difficult for him and just consider it as collecting some interest first.
Is this to vent her anger? Lin Jinghan laughed at herself. Not to mention that her being forced to marry was a plan of his, King Jingnan. Since he knew from the beginning that she had been wronged at the wedding, it was too late for him to vent her anger now!
Besides, she wanted to vent her anger for herself, so why did she need help? The five hundred thousand taels of silver for the makeup had long been stained with a colorless and odorless powder. Within two months, the five hundred thousand taels, and even the silver notes placed with it, would turn to powder...
Unless Lin Wanrou spent all the banknotes within two months, or exchanged them for silver, of course, 500,000 taels of silver would pile up like a mountain, and there was no way she could exchange all the banknotes for silver! Therefore, the newly appointed imperial concubine was likely to "lose both the wife and the army."
He seemed to be ignored again, but Sikong Zhan was not discouraged. He looked at Lin Jinghan's ankle and asked, "Do you like the Jiaozhu bracelet?"
Then he murmured, "I made it myself."
"Hmm?" Lin Jinghan seemed to have just remembered this. She looked at her right foot, lifted her skirt, and revealed her white and smooth right leg. There were eleven bright and sparkling dragon beads on it. I don't know what they were strung together with. The white dragon beads were connected by a red thing in the middle, which complemented each other and looked very beautiful.
Sikong Zhan was a little stunned. He hadn't noticed it when he wore it before, but now that he looked at it carefully, it was truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Jinghan reached out and plucked it. "Are you talking about this? This is my first time wearing an anklet, and it's surprisingly not uncomfortable at all. It even seems to heat up, which is quite comfortable. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even remembered I had something on my foot."
Then he tugged hard and said, "What's wrong with your anklet? You can't take it off?"
"That's..." a bracelet! Sikong Zhan sighed. Never mind, an anklet is just an anklet. He originally thought it would be too small, but it turned out to be quite suitable. He tentatively asked again, "Do you like it?"
Like it or not! Eleven dragon beads, strung together with red thread, and tied to her right foot! If it weren’t for the fact that this was done by him, King Jingnan, and if he knew that the people here didn’t understand the meaning of this, he would have suspected that he was confessing his love to her! He continued to pull the anklet, "I don’t like it! Quick, tell me how to take it off!"
Sikong Zhan was unhappy that the gift he had given with great expectations turned out not to be liked by the other party. "You can't take it off. Unless you destroy it or cut off your own feet."
This anklet cannot be destroyed, and no one would cut off their own foot for an anklet! Refusing his gift is impossible!
"Oh, that's easy!" Lin Jinghan took out the Adaman dagger without saying a word and carefully aimed it at the Jiaozhu anklet.
Sikong Zhan was secretly feeling proud, but then he remembered that Lin Jinghan's dagger was indestructible! He had no doubt that if he didn't stop her, Lin Jinghan would definitely destroy this world's treasure! He hurriedly said:
"The benefits of the Dragon Pearl extend far beyond just beautifying the skin. These Dragon Pearls from the Western Qi Kingdom are treasures for tempering the meridians. Wearing them while practicing will yield twice the result with half the effort. Wearing them year-round can even invisibly improve one's aptitude. For martial artists, especially those just starting out like you, this is a truly coveted treasure. I don't need to tell you how much help these eleven Dragon Pearls can bring you. If you destroy them, you'll suffer a huge loss. Are you sure you don't want to?"
She was surprised and a little bit unbelieving. She put away the dagger first and moved closer to Sikong Zhan, "You didn't lie to me?"
"If not, how do you explain why your wound suddenly healed today?"
"..." If Sikong Zhan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have thought of this! What a close call, she was almost exposed! Regardless of whether this anklet has any miraculous effects, as long as it can help cover up the secret of her medical space, she will wear it...
