Lin Jinghan stared at him for a while, and made sure that he had no intention of paying attention to her. She said no more, lay down quietly, and still used the gold needle to prick her sleeping point, and soon fell asleep.
Sikong Zhan opened his eyes again and looked at the profile of Lin Jinghan who was sleeping soundly. He was very puzzled: Although they were nominally husband and wife, based on this woman's personality, she shouldn't be so unguarded towards him.
When Lin Jinghan woke up again, it was already noon. She was not in a carriage, but in a bed and a very simple room.
Shiqin was tidying up the room quietly. It seemed that this place was just temporarily cleaned up for her to live in.
"Is the princess awake? Does she want to serve breakfast?" Shiqin stopped what she was doing and asked with concern.
"How did I get here last night?" Lin Jinghan rubbed his eyebrows.
"After the prince came back last night, he ordered you to be taken to the carriage. I saw that the princess had finally fallen asleep, and I couldn't bear to interrupt her sweet dream, so I carried you to the carriage. After arriving at the destination, I carried you down from the carriage." Shiqin felt very strange. The princess was injured and should have been a light sleeper. However, she carried the princess for such a long distance, but the princess didn't wake up. This was too unreasonable.
It turned out that it was Shiqin who held her, not Sikong Zhan. Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief, "Bring breakfast, I'm hungry."
Lin Jinghan had just finished her breakfast when Doctor Ran Xiao came to her. He first gave her a diligent diagnosis, and then gave her the antidote that he had prepared after working up most of the night to suppress the toxins in her body. After watching her take the antidote with his own eyes, he stared at her eagerly.
"Is there anything else?" Lin Jinghan leaned against the bedpost and asked Dr. Ran with her head tilted.
"Ahem..." Doctor Ran touched his nose, feeling rather embarrassed. "Princess, um, when will you give me the acupuncture? I, I want to, I want to..."
"You want to watch?" Lin Jinghan was amused by Dr. Ran's reaction and took over the conversation very considerately.
"Yeah!" Doctor Ran nodded vigorously. He was so happy that he subconsciously wanted to hug Lin Jinghan's arm to express his excitement.
When he stretched out his hand halfway, he suddenly remembered what Sikong Zhan had warned him last night and pulled his hand back abruptly.
"It's too early to give acupuncture now." Lin Jinghan pretended not to notice what Dr. Ran did, and looked outside, wondering,
"I don't know where this is? Why did the prince bring me, a sick patient, here?"
When Doctor Ran saw that Sikong Zhan had brought Lin Jinghan here, he thought that Lin Jinghan knew everything and asked in surprise, "This is the No Return Mountain. How come the princess doesn't know?"
His biggest responsibility now is to control the poison for the prince, and now he has an additional task, which is to treat the princess. Originally, the prince was not in the palace, and he thought he would have to run back and forth, but he didn't expect the prince to be so thoughtful and bring the princess with him.
Not having to run back and forth gave him more time to research the antidote.
Bugui Mountain? Isn't that the territory of Jile Village? Lin Jinghan sat up straight with a sudden burst of murderous intent, startling Doctor Ran.
"Princess? What's wrong with you?" Could it be that he said something wrong and offended the princess? Doctor Ran leaned back, trying to recall what he had just said.
Lin Jinghan closed her eyes, took several deep breaths, and calmed herself down. She leaned against the bedpost again and made up an excuse: "It's nothing. I just remembered how I was punished to kneel yesterday, and I couldn't control my emotions for a moment."
"Oh..." It turns out it's not my fault... Doctor Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that it's not his fault. He was really worried just now. He was worried that the princess would be like the prince, punishing people when she was unhappy.
Prince Jingnan's rule was very strict. Due to his special status, he had never been punished. However, he had treated many of those who had been punished. Just by looking at their miserable appearances, one could feel the unbearable pain they had endured when they were punished...
"It's so stuffy in this room. I want to go out for some fresh air. Is there a wheelchair here?" Lin Jinghan looked at the door. Although she had restrained the murderous intent around her, the hatred in her eyes could still be vaguely seen.
Shiqin quickly brought a wheelchair, which was the one that Sikong Zhan had entered the palace in earlier.
Lin Jinghan had just asked casually and was thinking of asking someone to make a wheelchair temporarily. She had even thought of the drawings for the wheelchair. Unexpectedly, there actually was a wheelchair, and this wheelchair was so luxurious, it was obvious that it was carefully prepared.
Lin Jinghan had something on her mind. She just glanced at the wheelchair and asked Shiqin to carry her up. Then she asked Shiqin to take her around to see what the situation in Bugui Mountain was like. She also asked whether Wu Yan was still there.
She had only walked this road to the Mountain of No Return twice. The first time was in the original owner's memory. The original owner was captured here and was full of fear along the way. How could she have the mind to pay attention to the surrounding environment?
The second time, she fled here with her brother. It was dark at that time and she was almost shot to death by arrows. Naturally, she had no time to appreciate the scenery of the Bugui Mountain.
What caught her eye was a freshly felled tree stump. A little further away, she could see lush green trees. Next to her was a temporary tent built of wood, and the room she had just lived in was the same.
Looking into the distance, there was no sign of Jile Village. Although Lin Jinghan was disappointed, she did not leave, but looked around.
Along the way, one could see the Jingnan Army coming in and out, transporting things, looking very busy. Lin Jinghan recognized the things being transported; it was iron ore!
She sent Shiqin away and asked Dr. Ran to push the wheelchair and take her to the iron mine.
There, she saw Sikong Zhan and Mu Wenyao, who were discussing something with serious expressions.
The two sides were not far apart, and Sikong Zhan noticed Lin Jinghan's arrival at the first time. However, since he brought Lin Jinghan here, he did not intend to hide the matter of the iron mine from her, so he did not even look at Lin Jinghan and continued to discuss the matter of iron mining with Mu Wenyao.
Lin Jinghan thought about it and did not go forward. Instead, she took out the telescope and prospecting instrument from the medical space a hundred meters away from the mine and started to fiddle with them attentively.
From what she had learned about this era in the past few days, she knew that the weapons used by the Jingnan Palace were all iron. In other words, iron ore should be relatively valuable in this place. She explored it in advance. Regardless of whether it would be useful in the end, it would always be better to be prepared.
Doctor Ran looked at the thing in Lin Jinghan's hand with great curiosity. Because he was afraid of disturbing Lin Jinghan, he didn't say anything. He just looked at her without blinking to see what this thing was used for.
