She dismissed everyone and asked them to go back to sleep after being busy for several hours, and then she walked into the yard alone.
The Nuanfeng Courtyard was very quiet. The summer night breeze carried a barely perceptible chill. She gathered her cloak, stretched out her hand, let the night breeze pass through her fingers, and pondered what she should do next.
This experience made her realize that she was like a rootless duckweed in this place. After leaving the Jingnan Palace, she didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
It's time to plan for her future. No matter what happens in the future, she can no longer be helpless.
Because of this incident, Sikong Zhan once again sent secret guards to secretly follow Lin Jinghan. This time, it was not for surveillance, but for protection. Of course, it was also so that he could keep track of her situation at all times and better understand her joys, her worries, and everything about her...
The secret guard received Sikong Zhan's order and reported to the prince the moment the princess came out.
After Sikong Zhan came out from Lin Jinghan's place, he went to the wing room of Nuanfeng Courtyard to deal with some things while waiting for her to pack up. At this moment, he received a report from the secret guard and learned that she had packed up and went to the study. He immediately put down the pen in his hand and knocked on the door of her study.
"Jinghan, it's me, can I come in?"
Lin Jinghan recalled the embarrassment in the bathroom before. She sniffed carefully to make sure that she no longer had any bad smell and put those embarrassing emotions behind her - after all, as long as she was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
Squeak——
She opened the door for him personally, looked at the man in front of her seriously, and said calmly, "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
She was wearing a white tight-fitting Sichuan shirt and a light green brocade cape. Her long black hair hung down, fluttering in the summer breeze. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains and her skin was like cream, she was indescribably charming.
As his nose sniffed her even more alluring body fragrance, for a moment, he felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head and straight into his heart. Thousands of words were choked in his throat, and he just wanted to hold her in his arms.
Seeing him staring at her blankly, she frowned, "Prince, if you have nothing to do, I will close the door." What kind of person is this? He came to her without saying a word. He is so stupid and wastes her precious time.
Just as she turned around and walked back into the house, he suddenly hugged her from behind. Her nose was filled with his domineering scent. She struggled, "Hey, what are you doing? Let go!"
"Don't move. Let me hold you for a while, just a moment." He leaned his head against her ear and whispered, "Jinghan, don't you have anything you want to ask me about what happened at the General's Mansion yesterday?"
"Your Highness has his own reasons for doing things. I have nothing to ask." Her voice was cold.
"Your Majesty, if you don't let go in ten breaths, I will poison you."
She didn't ask, but he couldn't let her misunderstand him, so he explained to himself:
"The general and I have always been at odds. Even if he was forced to cooperate with me because you saved his wife and child, his cooperation wasn't sincere. If he were to switch sides in the future, it would be very troublesome. So, I asked him for a consultation fee of ten thousand gold coins, so that he could use this incident to distance himself from me."
He spoke seriously, so she listened carefully and counted her breaths carefully.
He hugged her tighter and continued:
"But you've given me such a good start. If I were to abandon the General as an ally, wouldn't I be unworthy of all your hard work over the past few hours? He owes you his life-saving grace this time, and he owes me for letting him go. Furthermore, after this incident, the Emperor will definitely not be without grudges, and his trust in him will never be the same again. As long as I handle it properly, one day, he will see the Emperor's fickleness and willingly ally with me."
So what was this man going to do? She was confused, but she didn't ask. Knowing too much would not do her any good.
"My Lord, the time is up, please let go."
He didn't want to be poisoned by her again, so he gently let her go. He greedily sniffed the delicate fragrance lingering around his nose, "Jinghan, the lotus flowers in the ten thousand acres of lotus pond outside the city are in full bloom. How about I accompany you to appreciate the lotus flowers after breakfast today?"
She thought about it carefully, nodded in agreement, and stretched out her hand and said, "Give me my medical fee." She had already thought about what to do next, and she couldn't do without money.
She finally didn't refuse him. He smiled knowingly and took out ten gold notes with a face value of one thousand gold from his pocket. "Ten thousand gold, all yours."
She looked at him, took out one and handed it back to him, "Thank you for your hard work. I can't let you work in vain. I'll give you 10%. The remaining 9,000 gold will be divided equally between me and the two seniors after the general delivers the gold."
He took it with a smile and said jokingly, "A thousand gold coins were obtained so easily. It seems that if you follow Jinghan more in the future, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Lin Jinghan curled her lips: No one else can describe extortion in such a refreshing and refined way.
She turned around and went back to the house, not wanting to bother with this man who had no self-awareness.
He looked at her for a while, but did not follow her in. He said, "Let's have breakfast together later." When she nodded, he turned and left, closing the door for her.
He knew that some things should not be rushed. Since she had already agreed to go out and play with him, he had to give her some time and space to prepare, including the things she needed to bring, as well as her mood.
Just at the hour of Mao, Xiang Yuanqing came on time to urge Lin Jinghan to practice.
In fact, she didn't need his encouragement. She had long realized that her strength was insufficient, and she practiced hard every day. Even though the blisters on her body had not healed yet, she did not slack off.
Strangely, during today's practice, she actually felt as light as a swallow and was able to persevere very easily. Thinking that it might be due to the cleansing of essence and marrow last night, she happily walked to Xiang Yuanqing.
"Senior, looking at my current condition, shouldn't I increase the intensity of my training?"
"Put your hand here." Xiang Yuanqing carefully examined Lin Jinghan and nodded with satisfaction.
"The Medicine King really didn't hide anything this time. You're so lucky."
Seeing Lin Jinghan's doubts, he explained in detail.
"The secret recipe in Medicine King Valley uses Huiqing Dan combined with Fasui Dan, supplemented by a medicinal bath, to cleanse the tendons and weaken the marrow. However, Huiqing Dan is precious, and Fasui Dan is even rarer. Therefore, only the direct descendants of Medicine King Valley can enjoy this treatment. This time, the Medicine King is so generous and gives such a good thing to you for free, which is unexpected."
"Senior Medicine King, you are so kind! If there's an opportunity someday, I'll definitely repay you." Lin Jinghan was delighted to have received such a great favor for nothing, but she also felt the debt was too great to repay. She had given the Peiyuan Pill to the Pavilion Master and demanded he join their Tianque Pavilion. This Medicine King had given her something so precious that only his own descendants could use. Could he be asking her to join Medicine King Valley as well?
