"Brother!" Tang Xin quickly picked up Tang Xun and, with trembling hands, tried to check his breathing—Brother, he's dead...
"Ah! Brother!" Tang Xin cried out in pain.
"He paid with his life for you, and you are free. You can leave, or..." Lin Jinghan casually threw a medicine bottle to Sikong Ling.
"If you take this medicine, you will die without any pain. If you go down now, you can even walk through the underworld with him."
"Stupid! Even if you died for me, I would never accept your kindness!" Sikong Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, bent down to pick up the medicine bottle thrown by Lin Jinghan, and drank it without hesitation. She took one last look at Tang Xun.
"I don't want to stay in this world. On the road to the underworld, you and I will go our separate ways!"
"We are already separated by life and death, so why be so stubborn?" Lin Jinghan sighed, leaned over and slapped Tang Xun, then took out the golden needle she had just shot into his body.
Tang Xun slowly opened his eyes.
This technique, called suspended animation, involves inserting a needle into the body, causing the person to appear dead. If the needle is removed within twelve hours, the person will be revived. This was taught to Lin Jinghan by Xiang Yuanqing.
"Brother!" Tang Xin was pleasantly surprised and quickly kowtowed to Lin Jinghan, "Thank you, Princess!"
Sikong Ling looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, then smiled knowingly, closed his eyes and waited for death to come, "Very good, I can finally walk in peace on the road to the underworld..."
Lin Jinghan took out the golden needles and treated Tang Xun carefully. "Commander Tang, oh, no, Deputy Commander Tang, just now, the princess wanted to go with you. That was poison, and she swallowed it without blinking..."
"What? Ling'er!" Tang Xun was anxious and quickly asked Lin Jinghan to save her.
"Are you anxious now? Where did your desperate attitude go?" Lin Jinghan calmly held Tang Xun down and turned to look at Sikong Ling.
"Oh, by the way, Princess, I forgot to tell you that what I just gave you was a pregnancy-preserving medicine."
"You lied to me!" Sikong Ling suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Jinghan and Tang Xun in disbelief.
Lin Jinghan put away the golden needle, shrugged, stood up and walked to Sikong Zhan, shaking his sleeves.
"Ah Zhan, since they are a pair of star-crossed lovers, why don't we not force them apart? Let Tang Xun use his years of military exploits to offset the princess's death penalty. However, since death is inevitable, living punishment is inevitable. I suggest that they be punished to guard the Jingnan Palace for eternity, forever atonement for the mistakes they made today. How do you think?"
Sikong Ling made such a mistake. Even if she was spared for the time being because she was the only blood of the Sikong family, one day, when she gave birth to a son, she would still have to pay the price for the mistake she made today, and this price might be her life!
If Sikong Ling dies, judging from Tang Xun's condition, he will not survive alone, and Sikong Zhan will lose his brother. How can Lin Jinghan bear to see this scene?
So, she planned this, hoping that the two of them could resolve their grievances and find happiness in the future. After all, the Jingnan Palace still needed someone to protect it, and she wanted to have her Ah Zhan all to herself...
"Since the princess has asked for mercy on your behalf, I have agreed. You can take care of yourself." Sikong Zhan was satisfied with the result.
Tang Xun was overjoyed. He pulled Tang Xin and Sikong Ling, who hadn't reacted yet, to kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess, for your support!"
"Oh, by the way, Ling'er, remember two things. First, don't let the child in your belly know his true life story. Everyone present today must keep silent. Second, cherish the person in front of you and give birth to a new King of Jingnan as soon as possible so that my Ah Zhan can retire with honor."
After Lin Jinghan finished speaking, she pulled the black Sikong Zhan to watch the battle.
The red Sikong Zhan was already firmly in the upper hand against Ye Gao. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Gao immediately used a one-time teleportation talisman to escape.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a dignified Martial Saint is just like this..." Lin Jinghan complained and looked at the people around him.
"Ah Zhan, this Cangmang Villa won't come to cause trouble, right?"
"Even if he doesn't come, I will destroy Cangmang Villa!" The red Sikong Zhan walked towards Lin Jinghan. The murderous intent around him had not yet subsided, and a bloodthirsty light flashed on his face.
Lin Jinghan was worried and quickly grabbed the red Sikong Zhan to check him out. "How do you feel? Can you control the murderous intent in your heart?"
"Jinghan..." Sikong Zhan took the opportunity to hug Lin Jinghan, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Tonight is our wedding night, and it's been disturbed for no reason. I can kill him as many times as I want..."
All the external and internal troubles have been resolved. The black Sikong Zhan looked at the people lying on the ground, then looked at the people who turned to Sikong Ling, and finally looked at Tang Xun and Sikong Ling who were hugging each other.
"Tang Xun, bury them properly and comfort their families."
Tang Xun bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"
Lin Jinghan was sure that Red Sikong Zhan was in normal condition, so she let him go and went with him to deal with the aftermath.
Outside the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion, in the most secluded corner, a group of people concealed their presence and witnessed the development of the entire incident.
One of them gestured with secret signals and asked, "Captain Zhu, Ye Cangmang has failed. What should we do?"
The leader of the team is Wu Yan, who faked his death and is now the captain of the Suzaku team, codenamed Captain Zhu.
They received orders and came here to wait, just waiting for Prince Jingnan to be swallowed by the bloodthirsty formation, and finding the right time to rescue Princess Jingnan.
"Go back and report." Wu Yan made a gesture of retreat.
The man continued to gesture: "But King Jingnan is still alive. If we go back like this..."
Wu Yan sneered, "That was because Ye Cangmang failed in his mission. It has nothing to do with us."
Wu Yan went all the way to the capital and finally arrived at the imperial palace!
This time, their master did not wear a cloak, but a bright outfit - a dragon robe.
"Your Highness!" Wu Yan bowed his head. "I'm glad I've fulfilled my mission. Miss Lin is safe and sound."
"Well, you have done a great job on this matter. I will reward you handsomely." The emperor was in a very good mood: after getting rid of Prince Jingnan, Lin Jinghan and the Jingnan Army would be in his pocket.
"I dare not take credit for it." Wu Yan did not hide anything and told what happened in the Jingnan Palace.
"Prince Jingnan has clones. Both clones are at the level of Intermediate Grandmasters and they easily broke the blood sacrifice formation. Ye Cangmang's entire army was annihilated, but Prince Jingnan was not injured."
Bang!
The emperor crushed the teacup in his hand.
"So you didn't do anything this time and just watched Ye Cangmang's army get wiped out?"
Wu Yan kowtowed heavily.
"The Suzaku team's mission is to protect Miss Lin. I will strictly abide by my duties and will not act on my own initiative."
The emperor looked down at Wu Yan, and the atmosphere in the air was extremely depressing.
After a while, the emperor said:
"You did the right thing. Go down and claim your reward."
After Wu Yan left, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, his expression changing unpredictably. After a long while, he muttered to himself:
"Prince Jingnan, it's been such a short while since we last met, and yet you've already become so strong? You're claiming you failed to transcend the tribulation. What a grand pretense! Even I believed it..."
