"If you dare to touch my Xing'er, I will dig out one of Sikong Ling's eyes." Ye Cangmang showed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
He called Xing'er to action, not only because Lin Jinghan had done something that made him very unhappy, but also mainly to confirm the importance of Princess Jingnan in Sikong Zhan's heart. Now it seems that the rumors are true, Sikong Zhan is indeed protective of his subordinates. In this case, he will use Princess Jingnan to implement his plan.
"Ye Cangmang, don't force me to destroy your Cangmang Villa and kill everyone here!" Sikong Zhan's cold eyes shot directly at Ye Cangmang.
Knowing that Sikong Zhan was anxious and angry, Ye Cangmang's smile deepened, and he pointed to the cage in the middle of the yard:
"Prince Jingnan, let your princess get into the cage and release Xing'er. Otherwise, you will never be able to take Sikong Ling away."
Seeing this, Lin Jinghan understood that what happened next was no longer under her control. Her future direction depended on Sikong Zhan's choice.
However, she had no intention of persuading Ye Cangmang from the beginning. Her purpose was to remind Sikong Zhan that she was very useful and giving up on her would be a huge loss for him. At the same time, as a man, it would be a shame for him if he could not protect his princess, even if she was only a princess in name only.
Obviously, with Sikong Zhan's intelligence, he must have understood her hint.
Her goal was achieved.
So, when she heard Ye Cangmang make such an excessive request, although she was angry, she didn't say much, but just looked at the cage carefully.
"Let him go first." Sikong Zhan's face was stern. Although he was threatened, he did not give in.
"That's impossible." Ye Cangmang is not someone who is easy to talk to, so naturally he would not give in.
He gave the maid a look, and she reached out and pinched the wound on Sikong Ling's body. Although Sikong Ling didn't even groan, the blue veins on her forehead made people feel her pain deeply.
Sikong Zhan never let anyone threaten him, but Sikong Ling was different. He had to make sure she was safe and alive, so he had to make concessions:
"I'll return this maid to you. Release Ling'er, and I'll let my princess go into the cage."
"Prince Jingnan, should you discuss this matter with your princess first?" Ye Cangmang raised an eyebrow and looked at Sikong Zhan. "If your princess was sensible, she would have taken the initiative to walk into the cage now to avoid embarrassing you, but she seems to have no intention of doing so at all? Prince Jingnan, are you sure your princess will listen to you?"
"My prince hasn't said anything yet, and you're telling us what to do?" Lin Jinghan rolled her eyes: This Ye Cangmang's mouth is really annoying. He actually wants to force her to be a saint! If she doesn't use this mouth to become a gossipmonger and stir up trouble, it would be a waste of talent.
"Prince Jingnan, as long as you let your princess take three steps forward and let me know that your princess listens to you, I will release her first." Ye Cangmang seemed to have taken a step back, but in fact he blocked the way for Lin Jinghan and the others - they had no choice...
Sikong Zhan's expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process. He glanced at Lin Jinghan and said, "Go."
Lin Jinghan looked calm as she took two steps forward to Sikong Zhan. She turned around, opened her veil, and stared at him with tears in her eyes. She said aggrievedly but stubbornly, "Your Highness, I promise to help you with what you want. I also hope you can agree to what I want."
"Okay, you will see them soon." This was Sikong Zhan's promise. He promised Lin Lixuan and others that they would go to Jingnan Palace on time, and promised that he would protect Lin Jinghan.
"Okay." A tear slid down and fell to the ground silently. Lin Jinghan wiped her face with her hand nonchalantly, and suddenly hugged Sikong Zhan. In a direction where no one could see, she whispered a few words to Sikong Zhan's ear.
Then she let go of Sikong Zhan, closed the veil, turned around, and took three steps forward.
Sikong Zhan's cold expression was almost gone. He looked at Lin Jinghan's back with an inexplicable expression on his face.
"The princess has already taken three steps forward. You should let her go." Mu Wenyao was startled by Lin Jinghan's behavior, but he also knew that he was facing a powerful enemy and should not be distracted. He held the sword tightly in his hand and held Xing'er tightly.
"Oh, what a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks, what a pity..." Ye Cangmang stood up straight and waved his hand. The maid escorted Sikong Ling towards Sikong Zhan.
At the same time, Mu Wenyao also took Xing'er and walked towards the opposite side.
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Lin Jinghan walked towards the cage on her own.
After the two sides exchanged hostages, Lin Jinghan also walked into the cage with her back bent.
With a clang, the maid closed the cage and locked it quickly.
The restraints on Sikong Ling had been removed. She broke free from the support of the secret guards and walked to Sikong Zhan with red eyes. "Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I've caused trouble for my sister-in-law."
"Someone, take the princess back!" Sikong Zhan exuded coldness and didn't even look at her.
"Brother, I'm with you..."
"Go back! Don't make me say it a second time!" Sikong Zhan stared at the cage and clenched his fists.
"Yes, Ling'er will go back now and will never cause trouble for big brother." Sikong Ling turned around and swayed a few times. The secret guard hurried forward to help her leave.
As soon as Sikong Ling left, a big hole suddenly appeared under the cage. The cage fell from the ground and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight!
"Ah!" The clanging sound, mixed with Lin Jinghan's scream, resounded throughout the vast courtyard.
The world was spinning around and Lin Jinghan couldn't stand steadily in the cage. She had to protect her head tightly and stumbled all the way. When the cage fell to the ground, she heard the sound of bones breaking in her legs.
"Warning, it is detected that the host's body is seriously damaged. Do you want to start the treatment mode?" Xiao Yi started to operate spontaneously.
It was pitch black all around her and she was in pain all over. It took her a while before she regained consciousness. She carefully felt the messages coming from the medical space, thought for a while, and used 10% of the energy in the medical space to heal herself partially to ensure that her injuries would not worsen. Then she stayed quietly where she was, without moving - she could not reveal the secret of the medical space, so she could only conserve her strength and wait for someone to rescue her.
Mu Wenyao rushed over quickly. A new ground had appeared where the cage fell, as if there had never been a cage here.
"You cheated!" Mu Wenyao was extremely angry and pointed his sword at Ye Cangmang. "If anything happens to the princess, I will destroy your Cangmang Villa!"
Sikong Zhan stopped in his tracks as he was about to rush forward, his fists clenched tightly, his fingers pinching his palms so hard that they hurt, but he didn't notice at all.
Glancing at the place where Lin Jinghan fell, he drew his sword and walked towards Ye Cangmang step by step, saying coldly: "You dare to plot against my princess, you deserve to die!"
He had miscalculated. He originally thought that Lin Jinghan would only need to stay in the cage for a while, and he would be able to quickly resolve everything and rescue her. However, now, she had fallen down. At first, he could still hear her howling, but now, there was no sound at all.
Her condition was unclear, and her life or death was uncertain. He was furious!
