The incident happened so quickly that the people around him wanted to see Prince Jingnan humiliated, but now it suddenly became a matter of life and death for Princess Nanzhao. This was a matter of great importance to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The leader, Prince Qi, quickly spoke out to stop it:
"Prince, stop!"
A slap in the face is a slap in the face, whether it's Nan Zhao's disgrace or Prince Jingnan's disgrace, they can all enjoy the fun, but if someone really dies, that would be a disaster! Apart from anything else, at least the King of Qi who is in charge will be held accountable.
Seeing that Mu Wenyao had no intention of stopping, the King of Qi quickly exposed Murong Huan's identity, "That is Princess Nanzhao, Your Highness, you cannot do that!"
"Ah!" Murong Huan was almost scared silly. Apart from closing his eyes and screaming loudly, he had no idea how to respond.
Murong Shuo dared to instigate his sister to take action, so he naturally would not let his sister be imprisoned. Nanzhao's guards were no pushovers either. They rushed over quickly, took on Mu Wenyao's sword moves, and rescued their own princess at the same time.
The King of Qi was so frightened that he stopped watching the fight and quickly called for help to stop it.
Sikong Zhan and Murong Shuo withdrew their moves at the same time. Sikong Zhan glanced at Murong Huan and said coldly:
"Murong Huan, this is the last time. If you dare to offend my princess again, no one will be able to protect you!"
After saying that, he returned to the carriage. The carriage moved forward again, leaving everyone behind.
Mu Wenyao stared coldly at Murong Huan and kicked the whip off the ground. "In my capital of Donglin, you are provoking me like this. You have completely disregarded Donglin. I will report this to the Emperor and demand an explanation from Emperor Nanzhao to the Jingnan Palace!"
After throwing the blame away, Mu Wenyao flew to the carriage. It seemed that there was no seat for him. Just as he was wondering what to do, he heard Lin Jinghan say, "Prince, get in the carriage."
Mu Wenyao's eyes switched between Sikong Zhan and the curtain of the carriage. He held back his laughter, jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Thank you, Prince, for saving me." Lin Jinghan nodded - although Mu Wenyao was Sikong Zhan's accomplice, he saved her at the risk of everything, so she would be generous and not bother with him.
Mu Wenyao looked at Lin Jinghan, who was covered tightly, then looked at Xiang Yuanqing, and asked worriedly, "Princess, are you okay?"
"Thanks to the prince for arriving in time, I'm fine. But the prince doesn't look too well. Were you injured in the battle just now?" Lin Jinghan said, looking at Mu Wenyao carefully. Seeing that he had no external injuries, she picked up a bottle of medicine for treating internal injuries and threw it to him.
Mu Wenyao took the medicine bottle and sighed, "Don't worry, Princess. I'm not injured. But the prince hasn't had any rest in order to find the princess. He looks much more haggard. It really makes me feel distressed."
The prince looked haggard, so the princess should feel distressed and let him in to rest quickly. In this way, he could atone for his sins. After all, he was the one who watched the princess leave, and he had to bear a great responsibility for the princess's arrest.
Lin Jinghan, however, seemed not to understand the meaning of Mu Wenyao's words and changed the subject. "Why is the princess targeting me for no reason? I don't remember ever offending her."
"Well..." Mu Wenyao glanced at the car curtain secretly and smiled.
"The princess is not targeting you, but Princess Jingnan."
"Oh~~" Lin Jinghan nodded, "So I was implicated by someone..."
Outside the carriage, the King of Jingnan, who had implicated others, had a dark look on his face and said unhappily, "Wen Yao, since you are so free, the Jingnan Army's training will be fully entrusted to you. You can set off tomorrow."
Mu Wenyao's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a bitter face. He blinked hard at Lin Jinghan - Princess, save me!
Lin Jinghan had no idea how the Jingnan Army trained. Seeing Mu Wenyao like this, she probably guessed that Sikong Zhan did it on purpose. Thinking about when he was with Sikong Zhan, Mu Wenyao was actually there the whole time directing Sikong Zhan's actions. Even though she forgave him in her heart, she still felt a little uncomfortable. So she thought it would be a good idea to let Mu Wenyao leave for a while!
"Training the army is a heavy responsibility. Come on, Prince. I'm rooting for you!" Lin Jinghan coughed and brought the topic back to the topic.
"That princess deliberately targeted Princess Jingnan. Could it be that she..." likes the prince?
Just after saying that, he was thrown into military training by Sikong Zhan. How could Mu Wenyao dare to expose Sikong Zhan's affairs again? He rolled his eyes and moved closer to Lin Jinghan, "Princess, are you jealous?"
Sikong Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he listened attentively to the conversation inside with bated breath.
"Sir, I suggest you go see Dr. Ran for an eye checkup after you return." Lin Jinghan's mouth twitched. Seeing that Mu Wenyao didn't seem to understand, she added,
"Your eyes don't look good."
A sigh echoed in the air, someone's disappointment was unknown...
On the other hand, the King of Qi placed Nanzhao's delegation in the post house in the capital. When he returned to report, he told the emperor everything that happened at the city gate, and also emphasized the battle between Sikong Zhan and Murong Shuo.
"So, Prince Jingnan's health has completely recovered?" The emperor frowned: The poison didn't kill him, Prince Jingnan is really lucky!
"The Nanzhao delegation was really rampant. Thanks to Prince Jingnan's recovery and his appearance at the city gate, we were able to subdue them today." The King of Qi held his chest, feeling a little scared.
"You dare to fight with me in Donglin, this prince of Nanzhao, I have to have a good fight with him!" The emperor was displeased. As to whether he was displeased because of Murong Shuo's arrogance or because Sikong Zhan recovered, perhaps only he himself knew.
In the post station, Murong Huan was hugging Murong Shuo and crying, "Second brother, I won't live anymore! How could he humiliate me like this in front of so many people! Wuwu..."
"Huan'er, second brother knows that you have been wronged, but if you cry here, he can't see it and won't feel sorry for you. You have to find a way to make him feel sad." Murong Shuo gently comforted his sister.
Murong Huan wiped her tears, looked up and asked, "How can I make him feel heartbroken?"
Murong Shuo gently lifted a strand of Murong Huan's hair and watched it slip through his fingers. "Whatever he cares about, he will lose. Since he treasures his princess, then... destroy her!"
Murong Huan nodded firmly, "When the time comes, I will make him beg me to marry him!"
Back in the palace, Lin Jinghan sighed silently in her heart, still ignoring Sikong Zhan, and walked towards the Nuanfeng Courtyard.
Sikong Zhan followed all the way to the door. Before he could enter, Lin Jinghan inside ordered the servant to close the door.
The secretary looked at the prince and said in embarrassment: "Prince..."
"Take good care of the princess." Sikong Zhan looked at Lin Jinghan deeply and left.
This was the first time that Prince Jingnan was turned away, and it was in his own home. Mu Wen's eyes almost popped out, and he quickly followed him.
"My Lord, what happened between you and the princess?"
