Chapter 67 Deal



She has never been a person who is content with the status quo. What she wants is to stand out and have the power!

But all of this was ruined... ruined because of Lin Jinghan...

She hated Lin Jinghan for harming her. If it weren't for her, how could she have been trampled into the mud!

One day, she will get back all the injustices she suffers now!

All of this was the business of Prince Jingnan's Mansion. Lin Jinghan was almost an outsider here and naturally knew nothing about it.

Thinking that Lin Lixuan should have arrived at Prince Jingnan's Mansion, she couldn't wait to go back to see him.

If you want to leave, you must get Sikong Zhan's consent. To get Sikong Zhan's consent, you have to meet him and discuss it with him.

But when she thought about what Sikong Zhan had done to her, she no longer had the mood to discuss things with him. After thinking about it, she finally decided to let Wu Si go and deliver the message.

In Sikong Zhan's tent, Wu Si respectfully conveyed Lin Jinghan's words to Sikong Zhan.

"So, the princess wants to go back to the palace?" Sikong Zhan frowned: This woman, she didn't even come in person for something she cared about so much, is she deliberately avoiding him?

"Tell the princess that since you have something to ask for, just come here in person." Sikong Zhan didn't even give Wu Si an extra glance.

Seeing this, Wu Si knew that the prince was unhappy, so he immediately took his leave and told the princess exactly what the prince had said.

Lin Jinghan raised an eyebrow. This man, after doing that to her, still had the nerve to see her? How thick-skinned was he? If the perpetrator was so shameless, then if she, the victim, didn't stand up straight and confront him and get back at him, wouldn't she be being looked down upon for nothing?

"Shiqin, come and do my makeup!" Change into a domineering makeup!

Soon, three women dressed as maids came in from outside the tent, walked up to Lin Jinghan, and saluted neatly, saying:

"Your servant Shiqi (Shishu, Shihua), greets the princess!"

"You guys?" Lin Jinghan frowned and carefully looked at the three women in front of her. "Where's Shiqin?"

A woman stepped forward and said with her head lowered, "Shiqin has made a mistake and can no longer serve the princess. If the princess has any orders, please tell the three of us. From now on, the three of us will serve the princess."

Shiqin had been serving her all along, so what could she have done wrong? How could she not know?

She had a hunch that things were not simple, but the maids in Prince Jingnan's Mansion were not under her control, and she had no special feelings towards Shiqin. Anyway, those who came to her were not her own people, so it didn't matter who they were, as long as they didn't openly oppose her.

Therefore, she said calmly without saying much, "Since you have come to serve me, you must remember that I do not keep useless people here, and I will not tolerate those who are disloyal. Whoever dares to make me uncomfortable, I will make it difficult for them."

"We will obey the princess's order!" The three maids knelt down together. They had their own opinions about Shiqin's departure: This princess has a bad temper. Now that Shiqin has been taken away, they have to serve her well.

"Come here and do my makeup again, to look more domineering." Lin Jinghan walked to the dressing mirror and sat down, leaning against the backrest with a lazy look.

The three maids exchanged glances, and then Shishu walked over, picked up a comb, and re-arranged Lin Jinghan's hair. Shiqi and Shihua carefully selected two sets of clothes for Lin Jinghan...

A quarter of an hour later, looking at her domineering self in the mirror, Lin Jinghan was quite satisfied and went to find Sikong Zhan with confidence.

After the message was passed, Lin Jinghan acted like a queen and walked slowly towards Sikong Zhan's tent.

Sikong Zhan glanced at the woman walking towards him, and his eyes flashed - the woman in front of him was wearing a bright red dress with wide sleeves and flowing clouds, with a soaring bun, a plum blossom hairpin on her forehead, and rose-red rouge painted on her lips, giving people an extreme temptation. At least Sikong Zhan felt that the fire that had just subsided was rising again.

The medicine this woman gave him must not be effective, it must be!

She strode up to him and extended her hand to him rudely, "Bai Mi Jue, give it back to me."

"It's all used up." He stared at the delicate hand for a while, without any intention of returning the things he had taken.

"Yesterday, the situation was critical. That Baimi Jue was given to you for self-defense. If you use it up, then so be it. However, that was the last one. If you have used up my life-saving item, then you should exchange it for something of equal value! You can do that by agreeing to my terms."

Lin Jinghan had already figured it out—when they emerged from underground, Mu Wenyao and the others weren't even injured, so Sikong Zhan must have used up his Baimi Jue. Therefore, her goal this time wasn't to get the Baimi Jue, but to use it to get Sikong Zhan to agree to let her go back to see Lin Lixuan.

"I'll take you back to meet your brother and adoptive father tomorrow." Sikong Zhan saw through Lin Jinghan's little tricks at a glance.

He didn't mind letting her succeed and make her happy for a while, which would also make it convenient for him to ask her questions later.

"Okay! Deal!" Having achieved her goal, Lin Jinghan was in a very good mood and turned around to leave.

Sikong Zhan had already let out the line, but hadn't caught any fish yet. How could he let Lin Jinghan leave like this?

"What did you do to me when we were underground?"

He stared at her, successfully stopping her from leaving.

She turned around, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Underground? When? I've done so many things to His Majesty. I wonder which one you're asking about?"

"What else did you do to me when I was unconscious besides giving me the antidote?"

"Ah?" Lin Jinghan bit her lip, thought seriously for a while, then said while counting on her fingers:

"I gave you medicine, took off your outer clothes, treated your wound with acupuncture needles, bandaged you up, put clothes on you, and changed you into a comfortable lying position..."

He frowned and thought for a while before concluding, "That's all."

She didn't know if he was suspicious, but regardless of whether he was suspicious or not, she couldn't let this man know her abilities. Given his personality, if he knew about her strengths, he would probably want to keep her by his side forever.

So, she made up her mind - play dumb! From now on, she would never easily reveal any of her abilities in front of him.

Sikong Zhan narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Jinghan who looked sincere. He always felt that she was not telling the truth!

Don't want to tell the truth? No matter, there is still a long way to go, he has plenty of ways to make her tell the truth!

He withdrew his gaze, seemingly unconcerned, and raised his right hand, revealing his palm still wrapped in gauze, and examined it carefully.

"I wonder what the rope on your wrist that brought us up there is made of? It was able to cut my palm so easily. Miraculously, the wound healed surprisingly quickly."
