Ye Cangmang curled his lips in sneer. He looked down and saw the bloodstains on the bed sheet. He sneered and turned the bed sheet into powder with a wave of his hand.
Sikong Ling dived into the bathtub and washed herself vigorously for a long time, but she still felt disgusted. She was so angry that she smashed everything in the room: Ye Cangmang dared to destroy her innocence, and one day, she would make him live a life worse than death!
It was the first time that the princess got so angry that the maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to get close to her. At this time, the housekeeper came to report that the prince invited the princess to have breakfast with him.
Sikong Ling changed her clothes, covered the red marks on her neck with powder, asked her trusted maid to secretly prepare a contraceptive drug, put on a concerned and anxious expression, and went to Gaoyuan Hall.
Sikong Ling seldom dined with Sikong Zhan, especially after the death of the old King Jingnan, they almost never sat at the same table.
When Sikong Ling arrived, she saw Sikong Zhan already sitting at the table, seemingly waiting for her, and asked anxiously:
"Brother, I heard that you and sister-in-law were poisoned. Ling'er is very worried. Has the poison been cured?"
"The poison has been cured." Sikong Zhan picked up the bowl and drank the porridge. He asked casually, "Where did you go yesterday?"
"I'm glad you're alright. Ling'er is relieved." Sikong Ling smiled knowingly. "Someone caused trouble in the mansion yesterday. Ling'er remembered my sister-in-law's instructions and guarded the inner courtyard carefully, not daring to let down her guard even for a moment. Big brother, I wonder what happened in the front courtyard?"
"Nothing serious, just someone is missing from the secret cell. Ling'er, do you know where this person has escaped to?"
Sikong Ling paused while drinking porridge, then returned to normal and shook her head, "I don't know. If Ling'er knew, she would definitely arrest this person immediately!"
Sikong Ling ate the whole meal with trepidation. When she finally finished her breakfast and was about to find an excuse to leave, Sikong Zhan's cold voice rang out.
"Come with me to the ancestral hall."
Arriving at the ancestral hall, Sikong Zhan instructed Sikong Ling to burn incense to the ancestors, then took out a roll of paper and handed it to her, "Take a good look at it, is there any thing that has wronged you?" Then he stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for her to finish reading the contents.
Sikong Ling read through all the content with trembling hands. First, she lost her virginity, and then her years of planning were discovered. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. She suddenly fell down on the futon and murmured, "So, you found out everything."
This means she admits that all the things recorded above were done by her!
Sikong Zhan waved his hand and gave Sikong Ling a resounding slap across the face. "If you weren't Sikong Ling, you would die if you did any of the above!"
Sikong Ling covered her face and looked at Sikong Zhan with hatred.
"Prince Jingnan, you are so arrogant! Since you killed my eldest brother, deceived my father, and took away the title of my Sikong family, why don't you kill me too? What's the point of keeping me alive?"
Sikong Zhan was shocked and finally understood that she had planned so much, poisoning him, colluding with Ye Cangmang, pretending to be robbed, instructing people to pretend to be Lin Jinghan to assassinate him, releasing poisonous snakes... It turned out that it was because she found out that he was not her biological elder brother.
"Your elder brother's death has nothing to do with me." He and the old King of Jingnan had an agreement regarding what happened back then. He would take good care of the Jingnan Army and ensure that the Sikong family had successors. There was no need to explain anything else.
"Haha, Prince Jingnan, it has nothing to do with you? Do you believe this kind of talk?" Sikong Ling looked sad, looking at Sikong Zhan with disdain and ridicule.
Sikong Zhan didn't explain. He picked up the incense and lit a stick for the old King of Jingnan. "Even if you don't know the inside story and want to get rid of me, that's a matter between us. Revenge for your elder brother is not an excuse for you to collude with outsiders and bring disaster to the Jingnan Army!"
"You are an outsider in our Sikong family's ancestral hall, and you are not worthy to burn incense!" Sikong Ling rushed over and wanted to extinguish the incense, but was pushed back to her knees by Sikong Zhan.
"Today, in front of your father, tell him what you have done to the Jingnan Army and see if he forgives you."
Sikong Ling was frightened. She wanted to break free but couldn't. She said stubbornly:
"In the Jingnan Army, you're the ultimate authority. How could I possibly shake you if I didn't collude with outsiders?! It's hateful. I clearly succeeded, but you weren't poisoned to death! It's all Lin Jinghan's fault. She actually saved you! So, she deserves to die! It's ridiculous that she's so stupid. She drinks the soup I send her every day and makes herself look so delicious. Little did she know that my little black guy loves delicious food the most!"
Bang! Sikong Zhan gave Sikong Ling another loud slap in the face.
"Jinghan really treats you as her sister, so she didn't guard against you. How dare you use her sincerity to plot against her!"
Sikong Ling wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and looked at him with her neck stiff. "So what if I schemed against her! Didn't you also scheme against my father to become the King of Jingnan? If you hadn't used your tricks, how could my father, the dignified King of Jingnan, have even mistaken his own son!"
"Whether you believe it or not, I have not let the Sikong family down. I will not be attached to the title of King Jingnan, and I will return it to the Sikong family eventually." He let go of her.
"If you have any resentment or hatred towards me, you can come at me, but you should never, ever let outsiders infiltrate the Jingnan Army and shake its foundation, and you should never attack Jinghan!"
Killing Sikong Zhan was to take back the Sikong family's title, but shaking the foundation of the Jingnan Army would be a disgrace to our ancestors. Sikong Ling flatly denied it: "I admit to killing you and Lin Jinghan, but I absolutely did not shake the foundation of the Jingnan Army! No!"
Sikong Zhan's eyes became increasingly cold and fierce.
"You can kill me, you can poison me, but you can't poison the commander of an army when the Jingnan Army is fighting hard against Nanzhao! Do you know that if it weren't for Doctor Ran Xiao and Zhang Qing working together to stabilize my poison and concealing my poisoning from the outside world, I'm afraid that 300,000 Jingnan soldiers would have been buried in Nanzhao!"
"No, that's impossible, you're lying!" Sikong Ling suddenly fell to the ground, looking mad. "My Jingnan Army is invincible. Even without you, we can still win!"
Sikong Zhan never looks down on women, so he is willing to give Sikong Ling a chance to slowly take over the affairs of the Jingnan Army. If she can really take charge of the Jingnan Army, he will be happy to return everything to the Sikong family. However, Sikong Ling disappointed him greatly.
Because of her stupidity, they were almost wiped out in the final battle with Nan Zhao!
He had always believed that Murong Shuo was the one who poisoned him in Nanzhao. It was not until he caught Murong Qi and interrogated him that he realized it was not them.
This time, the woman who set the poisonous snake to bite Lin Jinghan gave Sikong Ling away. He followed this line of thought and found out that Sikong Ling had done so many things behind the scenes!
She is too stupid to bear the burden of the Jingnan Army, so it is time to consider finding her a husband so that she can give birth to a child as soon as possible and leave bloodline and hope for the Sikong family. Then he will be worthy of the trust of the old King of Jingnan.
