She took two steps back, left his hand, picked up the veil and threw it on the ground, looking up at him with her little face.
"Your Highness, look carefully, I am in such a terrible state now."
She just didn't believe that he could kiss such an extremely ugly face!
He took two steps forward, his eyes full of heartache, and stretched out his hand to touch her face, but was afraid of hurting her, so he just stopped beside her face.
"Blame me for not protecting you. I will definitely avenge anyone who dares to hurt you!"
Damn it, she actually thought this domineering yet compassionate man in front of her was a little charming? She must have been poisoned and her brain was not working well, which was why she had this wrong illusion, it had to be!
She shook her head, drove out all the random thoughts in her mind, and asked:
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. However, you and Mu Wenyao are in cahoots and have hurt my heart. You are the one who hurt me. I wonder how Your Highness will vent my anger for me?"
He smiled indulgently, gently took her hand and placed it on his heart.
"If you make a mistake, you should accept the punishment. I hurt your feelings. You can beat me or scold me as you please. If it's not convenient for you to do it, just give me an order and I'll do it myself."
She felt his strong heartbeat at her fingertips, and suddenly realized how stupid she had just done - she actually gave him a step and let him climb up!
Could it be that she was poisoned and her IQ has also decreased? At this time, she must not speak again. If she speaks again, she will probably lose everything.
"Your Majesty..."
As she spoke, her body swayed, and then she fainted - well, it was impossible to fool a master like Sikong Zhan by pretending to be faint, so she secretly used a golden needle to make herself unconscious.
Sikong Zhan was frightened and hurriedly supported her, but he was afraid of touching her sore spots and didn't know where to put his hands. He called out Jinghan Jinghan a few times, and when he saw that the person in his arms had no response, he quickly called for someone to invite Xiang Yuanqing.
After taking Lin Jinghan's pulse, Xiang Yuanqing knew that Lin Jinghan had fainted herself. He glanced at Sikong Zhan and guessed the reason. "Go out first and don't get in the way of me treating Jinghan."
After much difficulty, he finally got closer to Lin Jinghan. Sikong Zhan was in a very good mood and went outside as he was told.
Xiang Yuanqing turned on the anti-eavesdropping device installed by Lin Jinghan in the room and pricked her lightly. She woke up quickly.
Xiang Yuanqing was calm and composed:
"It's a good thing I came to see you today. If it were any other doctor in the palace, your feigned fainting would have been exposed."
"Senior, will the poison I'm infected with make people stupid?" Lin Jinghan sighed: She was really stupid today.
"This poison won't make people stupid. What really makes people stupid is - emotions." Xiang Yuanqing pinched his fingers,
"I see you've been feeling affectionate lately, so I'm afraid good things are about to happen."
Lin Jinghan pouted, "Senior, even you are teasing me..."
Xiang Yuanqing waved his hands quickly, "Alright, alright, I, an old man, will not take care of the affairs of you young people. The poison in your body will be cured tomorrow, and you should make up for the lessons you missed."
"Senior, so, will you still be Jinghan's instructor from now on?" Lin Jinghan's eyes lit up: Is it finally not Sikong Zhan anymore? Is she finally not forced to stay with him every day?
"Except for the techniques, I will teach you everything else." Xiang Yuanqing smiled and took out a book.
"If you don't want to see him now, I can stay here for a while."
Lin Jinghan nodded vigorously, immediately took the book and began to read it carefully.
The two began to study in the room, one teaching and the other learning, having so much fun that they completely forgot about Sikong Zhan who was waiting outside the room.
The sound of water in the room made Sikong Zhan wonder what was going on inside. Several hours passed and it was almost dark, but Xiang Yuanqing still hadn't come out. He thought Lin Jinghan's condition was very serious and waited outside anxiously.
The waiter who brought the meal came out and reported without waiting for Sikong Zhan to ask:
"The princess has woken up and is having dinner with Mr. Xiang."
Waving his hand to let the secretary leave, Sikong Zhan hesitated for a moment, pushed open the door and walked in.
Lin Jinghan had just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and hadn't started eating yet when she saw Sikong Zhan walk in. She didn't know how to face him for a moment, so she just buried her head in eating.
"How is Jinghan?" He looked at Xiang Yuanqing.
"The poison is still lingering, so don't let your emotions fluctuate too much." Xiang Yuanqing used the excuse he had prepared long ago, "It's best if you don't see Jinghan until she recovers."
Does this mean he can influence her emotions? Although Prince Jingnan didn't understand women very well, he had studied military books for so many years, and Mu Wenyao had taught him step by step for so long, so he had a good understanding of the relationship between men and women. He knew that his goal was about to be achieved, so it was not appropriate to pursue him relentlessly at this time. As the art of war says - to get, you have to let go. He looked at Lin Jinghan and said gently:
"Jinghan, I'm relieved that you're okay. Take good care of yourself. I'll move to the wing room in Nuanfeng Courtyard. If you want to see me, just send someone to call me."
After saying that, he bowed to Xiang Yuanqing and left.
Xiang Yuanqing looked at Sikong Zhan's departing back and nodded: Prince Jingnan is worthy of being Prince Jingnan, look at his measured advance and retreat, and his confident look of victory, no wonder Lin Jinghan couldn't stand it and could only pretend to faint to escape - the little girl is still naive after all, how can she defeat the Prince Jingnan who has been on the battlefield for many years and defeated countless enemies?
"Senior, thank you!" Sikong Zhan left and would probably not appear again in the near future. Lin Jinghan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Yuanqing felt that the time was right and stated his purpose again:
"Your escape is not a long-term solution. Would you consider coming with me to Tianque Pavilion? As long as I don't agree, the King of Jingnan will never be able to enter my Tianque Pavilion."
This time, Lin Jinghan did not refuse immediately. She thought for a moment and said:
"It is my honor to be your apprentice. But there are some things I haven't thought through yet."
He was one step closer to successfully accepting a disciple, and nodded to Yuan Qing with satisfaction, "Lifelong matters require careful consideration. I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time to think about it."
The next morning, the emperor summoned the Nanzhao delegation after the morning court session, and Sikong Zhan, a heavyweight figure, naturally had to be present.
Cart after car of gifts from Nanzhao were delivered to the palace. They were all things that Donglin did not have and were very valuable, which showed Nanzhao's sincerity in seeking peace. The previous rumors that Nanzhao had no sincerity in seeking peace were self-defeating.
The emperor was delighted and immediately decided to hold a grand banquet in the palace and summon all the ministers to discuss peace with Prince Nanzhao.
Everyone unanimously chose to forget the unpleasant incident at the city gate, except Sikong Zhan. Murong Shuo actually wanted to bully his Jing Han, so he would not let Prince Nanzhao have an easy time.
"Your Highness, your sister deliberately provoked my princess yesterday, causing her condition to worsen. You, Nanzhao, owe me an explanation for this matter!"
