Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sword approached Wu Yan in an instant, forcing Wu Yan to return to defend.
It turned out that the person on the bed jumped up and rescued Lin Jinghan.
How could he allow someone else to bully their princess at this time? If the prince knew about it, he would die miserably! As for pretending to be poisoned and being exposed, as long as he killed this person, who would know he had woken up?
Lin Jinghan seized the opportunity, and instead of retreating, she advanced and shot out several more silver needles!
The two sides exchanged a few moves quickly, and Lin Jinghan and the other man joined forces to barely tie with Wu Yan.
Wu Yan looked at "King Jingnan" in surprise, suddenly made a move, then retreated quickly and left the room.
In order to prevent today's events from being leaked, the fake King Jingnan immediately chased after him!
Lin Jinghan was eager for revenge, so she followed him out.
However, they were ultimately unable to keep the person and Wu Yan escaped.
After Wu Yan successfully escaped, he immediately met his master.
"You mean, the Prince of Jingnan in the palace is a fake?!" A masked man in a black cloak looked at Wu Yan who took action, and there was not much surprise in his tone.
He would never believe that Prince Jingnan was about to die from poisoning, so he took advantage of Prince Jingnan's wedding and the constant coming and going of people in the palace to send Wu Yan to find out what was going on.
As expected, there might be something else behind the poisoning of Prince Jingnan!
"Indeed, I have fought against the King of Jingnan. The man in the palace is obviously not on the same page as the King of Jingnan." Wu Yan knelt down and said, "I have failed in my duties. Please punish me, my lord!"
"That's fine. I sent you there to spy on King Jingnan. If you could kill him, he wouldn't be called King Jingnan anymore." The man curled his lips, seeming to be in a very happy mood. He pointed at someone next to him and said,
"Go and let everyone in the capital know that Prince Jingnan has woken up tonight and is able to get out of bed."
Wu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists, not knowing what he was thinking. Soon, he returned to normal.
At this time, a secret guard came over and respectfully handed the man a bamboo tube.
After the man read the note in the bamboo tube, his expression suddenly changed. He slapped Wu Yan in the face and said, "Jile Village has been occupied by King Jingnan. How long are you going to keep this secret from me?"
Wu Yan was horrified. With his swollen cheeks, he quickly knelt down and explained, "My Lord! King Jingnan suddenly launched an attack, and Jile Village was destroyed overnight. I know Jile Village is your life's work, and I couldn't bear to worry you. I was thinking that since King Jingnan had been poisoned, I only needed to wait for him to die. Then I could destroy the Jingnan army there and rebuild Jile Village. When the time comes, I will report everything to you to save you from worrying!"
Bang!
Another loud slap in the air, the anger in the man's eyes was about to erupt.
"Rebuilding Jile Village is easy for you to say! Not to mention that King Jingnan wasn't poisoned, even if he was, are the Jingnan Army under his command vegetarians? Can you take back Bugui Mountain by yourself? Wu Yan, I think you've been the boss for so long that you've forgotten who your master is!"
Wu Yan was beaten so hard that his blood boiled and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but he dared not show any dissatisfaction. He kowtowed heavily and swore to the heavens, "Wu Yan is loyal to the Lord and has never had any second thoughts. Please understand!"
"You deserve death for every crime you've committed!" The man suppressed his anger, thought for a while, and then smiled as he slowly said:
"However, considering your past merits, I will temporarily record your crime and let you make amends for it. As long as you can take care of the rest of the matter, I will not pursue the matter of Jile Village anymore."
"Thank you, my lord!" Wu Yanfu kowtowed again. When he raised his head, a big purple bump had appeared on his forehead.
After a while, Wu Yan walked out of the room.
He couldn't understand why he was the only one who escaped from Jile Village. If he didn't tell anyone, then naturally no one from King Jingnan's side would tell anyone either. So, how did the Lord know what happened in Jile Village?
Could it be that there are people of the Lord in the Jingnan Army?
…
At the Jingnan Palace, except for Wu Yan who escaped, all the other assassins were captured. However, these people were obviously determined to kill themselves after being captured, and the Jingnan Palace did not find the mastermind behind the incident.
Lin Jinghan was very depressed after failing to kill Wu Yan, but when she thought about her current situation, she knew that she had caught King Jingnan feigning illness! She knew that she couldn't be depressed, she had to do something, otherwise, King Jingnan would settle all his "new and old grudges" and kill her directly!
"Your Highness..." Lin Jinghan carefully controlled her tone of voice. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the fake Prince Jingnan:
"This prince has received the princess's meticulous care today and was feeling better. However, an assassin attacked and I was seriously injured. I need to rest in bed and no one is allowed to disturb me! All matters inside and outside the palace are under the full responsibility of the princess!"
As he spoke, the fake Prince Jingnan coughed up blood and looked seriously injured. He was supported by the housekeeper and returned to the house.
Lin Jinghan had even thought of her words, but she didn't expect the other party to have no intention of settling the score with her at all! She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
By the way, she was in such a mess that day, and the King of Jingnan, who was so high and mighty, must not have noticed her. In addition, her current identity was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one would associate her with the original Lin Jinghan, so he did not recognize her at this moment.
It was a false alarm. Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief and regained her composure. "Farewell, Your Highness!"
As soon as the fake Prince Jingnan left, Lin Jinghan suddenly realized: That's not right! Wu Yan had clearly exposed her identity, and Prince Jingnan must have heard it. He shouldn't have been so indifferent! At least, a dignified prince would never accept that his princess was once the wife of a bandit! Although she and Wu Yan had never actually married, outsiders didn't know about it!
Lin Jinghan racked her brains but couldn't figure out the problem. The situation at Prince Jingnan's Mansion didn't leave her any free time to think about it, because the adults who had just been detoxified were still staying in the front yard, waiting for an explanation from Prince Jingnan's Mansion.
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Sikong Ling is missing!
Now, looking at the entire palace, the only master who can come out to take charge of the situation is the new bride Lin Jinghan. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the housekeeper to the front yard.
She knew very well that those people outside were not asking for an explanation from the Jingnan Palace. They probably wanted to find out about Sikong Zhan's situation and what happened to the assassin tonight.
The assassins were easy to deal with, as they were victims after all. However, Sikong Zhan's situation was indeed more thorny, and the news of his awakening could not be concealed. It seemed that she would have to bear the blame.
