"Is there anything that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't handle?" Baili Zhe asked jokingly.
Murong Shuo shook his head helplessly. "To be honest, my brother was careless and fell into Sikong Zhan's trap. He was poisoned and hasn't woken up yet. I heard that you recently captured the Princess of Jingnan. Why don't we work together to capture her again? As long as we force Sikong Zhan to hand over the antidote and save my brother, I don't need to worry about the ten dragon beads."
The next morning, Lin Jinghan woke up. Some of the blisters on her body had begun to scab, making her look even uglier. She covered herself tightly with a veil and got off the car. She saw Sikong Zhan packing game, with the coachman helping him. Xiang Yuanqing was sitting there calmly and dozing off, with no intention of helping at all.
"Awake?" Hearing the sound, Sikong Zhan turned around and smiled gently at Lin Jinghan, "Breakfast will be ready soon. There's a stream not far away. I'll take you there to wash up."
"No, I can't touch water now." Lin Jinghan didn't look at Sikong Zhan, but walked towards Xiang Yuanqing.
"senior……"
Before Lin Jinghan could finish, Xiang Yuanqing opened his eyes and sat up straight, "Stretch out your hand."
Lin Jinghan moved, blocked Sikong Zhan behind her, and stretched out her horrible hand.
Xiang Yuanqing placed his hand on his pulse and carefully examined it for a long time. He glanced at Sikong Zhan who was looking at him nervously, then withdrew his hand and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Just take three doses and I guarantee you'll be cured. Then, use my newly developed beauty cream. I guarantee your skin will not only be restored to its original state, but even better."
Sikong Zhan finally felt relieved and continued to prepare breakfast seriously.
Lin Jinghan sat next to Xiang Yuanqing, discussing pharmacology with him, and occasionally looked at Sikong Zhan through the veil. Seeing him meticulously preparing breakfast with the hand that should have been holding a sword to bring peace to the world, she felt mixed emotions for a moment.
However, when she thought of the abominable thing he had done, her heart hardened again: she could not be soft-hearted and could not forgive him so easily! She had to make him realize the mistake he had made and never dare to treat her like that again!
Sikong Zhan prepared breakfast, carefully filled a bowl of porridge, and used his inner strength to make the porridge just the right temperature to drink. He then carefully handed it to Lin Jinghan.
"The porridge is just the right temperature, would you like to try it?"
"Thank you!" Lin Jinghan took out a handkerchief to wrap her hands, took the porridge, turned around and handed it to Xiang Yuanqing, "Senior, eat."
"Well, Miss Jinghan still knows how to respect the elderly and love the young." Xiang Yuanqing took the bowl of porridge and drank it without hesitation, praising her: "Who would have thought that the King of Jingnan, who fought on the battlefield, is also an excellent cook."
After drinking a bowl, he was still not satisfied, so he took the bowl and walked towards the pot on the fire, intending to get another bowl.
Sikong Zhan frowned and instantly appeared next to the pot. He took out the largest bowl and quickly filled it with porridge. As usual, he used his internal energy to cool it down to a temperature that was just right for drinking, and handed it to Lin Jinghan again: This time, she won't give it to someone else, right?
"Thank you!" Lin Jinghan did not refuse, but took the bowl and walked to the side.
Sikong Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at the coachman not far away: If she dared to hand the bowl of porridge to the coachman, and if the coachman dared to take it, he would definitely kill the coachman!
Fortunately, Lin Jinghan did not walk towards the coachman, but got into the carriage and had breakfast alone in the carriage.
The coachman huddled beside the fire, frightened by Sikong Zhan's murderous look. His back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't understand what he had done wrong to offend this prince.
After finishing the meal, Lin Jinghan got off the carriage, handed the bowl to the driver, and asked seriously:
"Brother Li, you know our identities now. I wonder if you would be willing to work for the palace? You can be my coachman specifically. The monthly salary is the same as that of the palace's guards. In addition, if you have any family, you can also come to the palace to work. You will eat and live here from now on."
The driver witnessed everything that happened last night. Putting Sikong Zhan aside, Murong Shuo and Baili Zhe would probably not let the driver go. They would take him to the Jingnan Palace to ensure his safety. Of course, the premise of all this was that the driver was willing to work at the Jingnan Palace.
The driver had never expected such a good thing to happen to him. Being a driver was always a nuisance, but being a servant in the palace was better than being well-paid and respectable! What's more, he could live in the palace. This was simply pie in the sky!
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess! Li Cheng is willing to serve you!"
Hearing Lin Jinghan say this, Sikong Zhan was very happy: This means that Jinghan is willing to go back with him!
He quickly walked up to Lin Jinghan, held out his hand to her, his eyes sparkling, "Jinghan, let's go home!"
Lin Jinghan turned her head away, ignoring Sikong Zhan, and walked towards the carriage, saying to Xiang Yuanqing:
"Senior, please get in the car?"
"Okay." Xiang Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, then got on the carriage.
Lin Jinghan lifted the curtain and said to the coachman Li Cheng, "Brother Li, let's go back to the capital." Then she closed the curtain.
"Okay!" Li Cheng happily sat in the driver's seat, only to find that the prince was still there. He coughed awkwardly and said tactfully, "Prince, please get in the car."
Sikong Zhan knew that Lin Jinghan had deliberately not invited him to ride in the carriage, but he was not annoyed. He still had a smile on his face and sat casually in the driver's seat. He said to Li Cheng:
"Let's go."
Li Cheng moved aside, giving most of the space to Sikong Zhan, and waved his whip, "Go!"
Four people in a car drove towards the capital.
In the second year of Jianyuan, King Jingnan defeated Nanzhao and captured the gateway of Nanzhao - Ziyi City. Nanzhao had no choice but to request a ceasefire, signed a ceasefire agreement, and sent envoys to Donglin to seek peace.
Crown Prince Murong Shuo personally went on a diplomatic mission to Donglin, bringing with him his younger brother Murong Qi and his sister Murong Huan, who was planning to marry into the royal family. They stopped and walked in Donglin along the way, and it took nearly a month before they finally arrived in the capital today.
The huge convoy stretched as far as the eye could see. Each carriage was extremely luxurious. The soldiers were all wearing the most advanced armor and holding shiny weapons. Those who knew them thought they were coming to ask for peace, while those who didn't thought they were coming to Donglin to show off their wealth.
Murong Huan sat in the spacious and gorgeous carriage, looking at his third brother beside him, his eyebrows almost squeezed together.
Ever since Murong Shuo rescued Murong Qi last time, Murong Qi has been in a coma. Even Lu Qing, the doctor who is best at detoxification in their Nanzhao, is helpless against Murong Qi's poison. He even said something like "this poison is rare in the world, and the person who made this poison must be an otherworldly master." If Murong Shuo hadn't stopped him, Murong Huan would have beaten Lu Qing up: He has no ability, but he dares to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige!
Seeing that they were about to reach the city gate, the main person Murong Shuo was not in the delegation. Murong Huan secretly opened the curtain of the car a little and looked outside carefully, hoping that her second brother would arrive on time. Otherwise, how could she deal with the people from Donglin alone?
