Murong Huan immediately agreed: "Yes, she's crazy! Divorce her! Prince Jingnan, divorce her now!"
Lin Jinghan cast a contemptuous look at Murong Huan.
"Why, are you allowed to make random accusations, saying things like God's will, and this princess clarified the facts, and you are considered crazy?
"Just stop it, Murong Huan. You're not even fit to be a maid for me and the prince. And you're still dreaming of marrying my prince? Don't you even look in the mirror? Don't you know what you look like? You're just a princess from a defeated country, and you really think you have the nerve to do that?"
"Lin Jinghan!" Murong Huan was so angry that he trembled and subconsciously pulled out the whip from his waist.
"Ouch! I was right. You're so angry out of shame! What? You want to hit someone?" Lin Jinghan sneered. "You're a princess of a country, but you have no sense of propriety or shame. You've even brought shame upon Donglin. If I were you, I would have dug a hole in the ground and crawled into it long ago. How could I have the nerve to come out and see people?"
Those present were all people of status. How could they have ever cursed someone like that in public? Then he remembered that Princess Jingnan was from the countryside. Only this country girl could curse someone like that in front of the emperor and his ministers.
As expected, a scoundrel must be dealt with by a scoundrel...
It’s true, they were actually very happy to have someone come and scold the unruly Princess Nanzhao.
Lin Jinghan's tirade successfully diverted everyone's attention. Those who had previously been eager to marry Princess Nanzhao stopped thinking: Doesn't Princess Nanzhao look down on them and only care about Prince Jingnan? They wanted to see if Princess Nanzhao could get what she wanted.
"You!" Murong Huan subconsciously wanted to hit someone with a whip, but was stopped by Murong Shuo.
"Princess Jingnan is really well-educated!" Murong Shuo did not want to argue with Lin Jinghan any more, and looked directly at the emperor at the top.
"Emperor Donglin, I wonder what the law of Donglin is for the Princess Jingnan to be punished for insulting the princess in front of the palace?"
Before the emperor could speak, Lin Jinghan slammed the table and responded domineeringly:
"Oh, Prince Nanzhao is so arrogant! He allows you to do such shameless things as stealing other people's husbands, and you don't even allow others to tell others about it? Since you have come to my Donglin as a defeated country, you should coil up like a dragon and lie down like a tiger. If you want to get married, you should wait obediently for the men of my Donglin to choose you. The marriage between my princess and the prince was granted by the emperor, and you still dare to jump around and steal the man of the princess. You don't take the emperor seriously. Do you really think this is your Nanzhao?!"
Lin Jinghan knew very well that it would be difficult for her to compete with Murong Shuo and the others on her own, so she would not let herself be isolated. She wanted to elevate this matter to a struggle between countries, so that everyone present could not stand idly by and had to follow her to deal with Murong Huan and the others.
The emperor was in great trouble - Princess Jingnan had already said that others did not take him seriously. If he continued to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers, he would lose face.
The emperor's face darkened.
"Prince Nanzhao, I allow your princess to choose her own husband, but I do not agree to let her compete with others for a husband! Princess Nanzhao, since the husband you chose does not want you, then, as Princess Jingnan said, let the men of Donglin here choose and see who is willing to marry you?"
The emperor's eyes swept over the young talents present. Wherever his eyes passed, everyone lowered their heads, trying their best to reduce their presence: Princess Nanzhao has offended everyone, and they are not stupid. If they marry Princess Nanzhao at this time, the emperor will not reward them anymore. Otherwise, they will marry a disaster to their family, which will bring them bad luck for eight generations.
What? She is a princess, and they actually let these men choose her? Murong Huan was annoyed and furious, and hit the ground with a whip.
"This princess has said that in Donglin, I will not marry anyone except Prince Jingnan!"
This was a direct slap in the emperor's face, and Lin Jinghan almost laughed out loud.
Murong Shuo frowned tightly, speechless about his sister. He had only known her to be unruly, but he had no idea she was so foolish. Having his hand of cards ruined by his sister, Murong Shuo had no choice but to pull Murong Huan over, snatch the whip from her hand, and with a subtle force, make her fall into his arms.
"Huan'er, you're still poisoned and your mind isn't clear. You don't know what you're doing. Sit back and have a good rest!"
Things have come to this, and since Murong Shuo has found a way out himself, he can't make it any more difficult for Murong Huan. The emperor said coldly:
"Since the eldest princess is still poisoned and her mind is not clear, Prince Nanzhao, you shouldn't leave such an important matter to her to decide. Since she is ill, she should be treated. Come, call the imperial physician!"
For such an important palace banquet, the imperial physician had already been waiting in the imperial garden. He quickly came over and, after receiving the emperor's instructions, went to treat Murong Huan.
When the imperial doctors were summoned, they were informed of what had happened. They knew their purpose was to see if Princess Nanzhao was still suffering from the poison. Knowing the gravity of the matter, they examined her with exceptional care.
Everyone present knew that the remaining poison was just an excuse. They all eagerly awaited the imperial physician's diagnosis, hoping to see how Prince Nanzhao would be humiliated.
After a while, the imperial physicians finished their examinations and, after some discussion, sent a representative to respectfully bow to the emperor. "Your Majesty, Princess Nanzhao is indeed still suffering from the poison."
"Your Majesty, since the princess is ill, why don't I send her back to rest?" Lin Wanrou suggested to the emperor.
"That's great, my beloved concubine is so thoughtful." The emperor would love to get rid of this unruly princess.
If you want to put on a show, you have to do it completely. Murong Shuo naturally agreed to have Murong Huan taken away for treatment. Besides, Murong Huan was poisoned, so he naturally didn't worry about being exposed.
Lin Wanrou was graceful and seemed not to care at all about Murong Huan's previous slander against her. She sent someone to support Murong Huan and left the imperial garden.
She had two purposes for leaving: first, to see if her cousin really didn't want to compete for the position of queen, and whether she would take any action after she left; second, although Princess Nanzhao's fighting ability was not strong, her status was there, and she had already become a mortal enemy with Lin Jinghan. As long as she took advantage of her a little, Murong Huan would become a sharp blade in her hand and help her stab Lin Jinghan a few times.
The princess's husband-selection event had turned into a joke. Some people present were embarrassed, some were angry, and some were waiting to see how Nanzhao would handle it.
Lin Jinghan, on the other hand, seemed as if she had never done anything so aggressive as before. She looked at Sikong Zhan with a smile, then lowered her head to continue writing and drawing.
