"The princess is so enthusiastic. It really surprises me. I don't know when I became so charming that the dignified Princess Nanzhao cares about me so much." Lin Jinghan's tone was gentle, but her words always made people feel extremely sarcastic.
But she herself didn't seem to have that intention. A smile kept hanging on the corner of her mouth, and she sighed, "Unfortunately, before I came here, the prince specifically told me not to drink. The princess's kindness, I can only let her down."
Murong Huan was not discouraged. She put down the wine pot and picked up the teapot on Lin Jinghan's table. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. "It doesn't matter if you don't drink. This princess will use tea instead of wine. Cheers to Princess Jingnan!"
Seeing Lin Jinghan looking at her with a smile but showing no intention of taking the teacup, Murong Huan wanted to kill someone directly, but she also knew the current situation and could not be so reckless. Moreover, if she could coax Lin Jinghan to drink the tea, her words and actions would get out of control, and then she would become a clown. She forced a laugh,
"That day at the city gate, I was reckless and shouldn't have used the wrong method to ask to see Princess Jingnan. This cup of tea is my apology. Princess Jingnan is such a kind-hearted beauty, will she not accept my apology?"
Is this a scene where the spoiled princess turns into a green tea? Lin Jinghan exclaimed,
"Princess, what are you talking about? When did you meet me? How come I didn't know? Oh, the last time I passed the city gate, I was sick and fell asleep in the carriage. Half asleep, I seemed to hear a dog barking. The sound was so loud that not only did I not sleep well, but it also aggravated my illness..."
After thinking about it seriously, he suddenly realized, "Could that barking dog be the princess's? Is that why the princess wants to apologize?"
What happened at the city gate that day had long been spread throughout the capital. The noble ladies present were all convinced that there was definitely no barking dog as Princess Jingnan mentioned. If they were to say who had the loudest voice that day, it was Princess Nanzhao!
Princess Jingnan was implying that Princess Nanzhao was a dog barking there! The ladies all took out their handkerchiefs to cover their lips to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.
Murong Huan naturally understood what Lin Jinghan meant. His face flushed red, not knowing whether he was angry or embarrassed. He pointed at Lin Jinghan and kept saying "you you you" for a long time, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Lin Jinghan leisurely peeled an orange, opened a segment and put it in her mouth, acting generously.
"Princess, there's no need to take it so seriously. I'm not one to argue with others. Although your dog disturbed me, it's not easy for you to come all the way here. Since you came here with such sincerity to negotiate, I forgive you. You don't have to take this matter to heart. Just play, eat, and do whatever you want today. There's no need to come and apologize to me."
She didn't care about things, she just wanted revenge and grievances. But she saw clearly that the cup of tea in Princess Nanzhao's hand had been tainted when it passed through her hands.
As the most favored princess of Nanzhao, Murong Huan had never humbled herself to anyone before. How could she have been humiliated like this? She immediately lost her temper and shouted at the top of her voice, regardless of the occasion:
"Lin Jinghan! You're just a country girl. Do you really think you can turn into a phoenix just by flying onto a tree? You are not worthy of the King of Jingnan! You don't deserve to be the King of Jingnan's Consort!"
"Whether I am worthy or not seems to have nothing to do with the princess, right?" Lin Jinghan slammed the table and stood up. With a wave of her sleeve, she shot the golden needle into Murong Huan's body when no one noticed. Then she walked closer to Murong Huan, slowly took the teacup from her hand, and poured it into her mouth.
"Your Highness, don't waste the tea you poured yourself. Come, drink it! After you drink this tea today, I will pretend I didn't hear the offensive words you just said to me."
Murong Huan suddenly became unable to move. She watched Lin Jinghan feed the drugged tea into her mouth bit by bit. Her eyes widened with resistance and anger, until not a single drop of tea was left in her stomach.
Lin Jinghan casually placed the empty teacup on the table, clapped her hands, and patted Murong Huan's head again - actually forcing the golden needle out. "That's good. In view of your cooperation, this princess forgives you."
"Lin Jinghan, I want you to die!" Finally able to move, Murong Huan went crazy and grabbed Lin Jinghan's face with one claw, intending to destroy her face!
"Ah! Princess Nanzhao is going to kill someone!" Lin Jinghan has been practicing for so long and has begun to see results. She dodged a step and narrowly avoided Murong Huan's claws. She deliberately let Murong Huan scratch her exposed face a little, then covered her face and ran backwards. Her speed was no less than that of someone running for her life.
"Help! Princess Nanzhao has gone mad. She's going to kill someone in public!"
Bang!
A clear voice drowned out Lin Jinghan's cry for help. Then, a pig-slaughtering howl resounded throughout the ten thousand-acre lotus pond, accompanied by a chaotic scream from all around. Until there was a bang, and something heavy fell to the ground, the howling finally stopped.
Lin Jinghan stopped "escaping" and turned to look at Murong Huan, only to see that Murong Huan was no longer there, but there was one more person, a man.
Then, the man's cold voice sounded:
"How dare you call for the death of my princess, Murong Huan, you are courting death!"
The person who came was Sikong Zhan. Murong Huan deliberately caused trouble, and the secret guard reported it to Sikong Zhan immediately. He rushed over quickly and saw Murong Huan chasing Lin Jinghan, shouting and killing her, so he immediately slapped Murong Huan.
Seeing that Murong Huan was still breathing, he raised his right hand and swung it towards Murong Huan. Immediately, a man appeared and grabbed Murong Huan's vitals, intending to kill Murong Huan!
Everyone held their breath and watched the furious King Jingnan in the field. They were all silent as a cicada in fear. The scene was no longer noisy as before. You could hear a pin drop, and there was dead silence!
"Stop!" Murong Shuo instantly appeared in front of Murong Huan and slapped the person who wanted to kill Murong Huan.
The man was knocked far away and fell to the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. He struggled to get up, spitting out blood again, and then staggered to Sikong Zhan's side.
"Heal your wounds first." Sikong Zhan handed him a bottle of medicine.
He took the bottle, took the medicine immediately, and retreated to a nearby place to heal his wounds.
Nanzhao's guards rushed over immediately and protected Murong Shuo and Murong Huan in the middle.
Murong Shuo held the unconscious Murong Huan and examined her thoroughly. After confirming that her life was not in danger, he handed her over to the accompanying female doctor. He turned to King Jingnan and was furious:
"Prince Jingnan! Huan'er is the most honored princess of my Nanzhao. How dare you try to kill Huan'er in front of so many people!"
