Although she didn't understand what was written on it, she had already roughly guessed why the Queen Mother was looking for her.
A princess like her is actually illiterate. She is truly a wild girl from the countryside! She is bringing shame to the royal family! The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with disdain. She naturally disdained to mention such filthy things and winked at Li Ma.
Nanny Li sneered, "Princess, have you ever been captured and taken to Jile Village to be its chief consort?"
"No, this is slander! It's slander against Jinghan and slander against Jingnan Palace!" Lin Jinghan said angrily.
It's hard to explain a girl being caught in a bandit's den, because no matter if she's "innocent" when she comes out, in the eyes of the world, she's no longer "innocent"! It's right not to admit it. Anyway, Sikong Zhan said that he has his own way to settle this matter.
The Queen Mother was not surprised to see Lin Jinghan deny it. It would be strange if she really admitted such a thing openly.
"How can you lie in front of the Queen Mother!" Nanny Li's eyes were fierce, and she raised her hand to hit Lin Jinghan in the face!
Seeing that Nanny Li’s slap was about to fall on Lin Jinghan’s face, the Queen Mother felt pleased - she had wanted to slap this face more than ten years ago!
However, the Queen Mother's wish was ultimately dashed, because Lin Jinghan grabbed Nanny Li's hand and looked at her with a smile. But if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes were cold:
"Mammy, where did Jinghan lie? How come Jinghan didn't know? Please tell me, Mammy!"
"You're rebelling! Let go!" Nanny Li shouted. She thought Lin Jinghan would be frightened and let go of her immediately, but Lin Jinghan not only didn't let go, but held on even tighter. Shocked, she struggled hard to break free.
"Oh." Lin Jinghan seemed to have just realized what was happening and instantly let go of Nanny Li's hand. "If something flies towards us, we have to stop it. I'm sorry, I'm used to it! I'll let go now."
Before she could finish her words, Nanny Li fell straight to the ground. Lin Jinghan hurriedly tried to pull her back, but she also fell down and happened to fall on Nanny Li.
As Nanny Li screamed, there was a cracking sound and the sound of bones breaking was heard, followed by Nanny Li's wailing like a pig being slaughtered, which echoed throughout the Cining Palace.
After wailing a few times, Nanny Li realized that the Queen Mother was still there. Even if she was in excruciating pain, she couldn't scream like that. She clenched her teeth and tried not to wail out loud, but the pain was unbearable and she couldn't help but hum softly.
The palace maids and nannies nearby hurried over to support. There was a commotion in the Cining Palace. Lin Jinghan was pushed aside, and the groaning Nanny Li was carried away. The imperial physician was called, and everyone was busy looking for medicine. It took a while before peace was restored.
The Queen Mother's face turned green with anger. She scolded Lin Jinghan, who was standing by "at a loss", "You are so good, Princess Jingnan. You actually hurt my people in front of me!"
"It's unfair, Her Majesty the Queen Mother! It was this nanny who was unreasonable and hit people at will. I grabbed her hand out of instinct and it was definitely not intentional! Besides, she was the one who asked me to let her go. I was so obedient, so I had to let her go. But she couldn't even stand steadily. Jinghan thought that the nanny was old and might fall, so she kindly tried to pull her up. But she was so heavy that Jinghan couldn't even pull her up... Jinghan was innocently hurt and was badly hurt. Her right hand was already injured. I wonder if she will develop a chronic illness after this ordeal. My prince will definitely be heartbroken..."
Lin Jinghan spoke these words incessantly, rubbing her arms as she spoke, looking aggrieved, with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful and aggrieved!
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. Jinghan learned some martial arts from a master when she was young. She shouldn't be unable to pull someone. My body seems to be a little off lately. I don't know what's wrong, but I often feel weak..."
The Queen Mother thought that Lin Jinghan was seriously poisoned. She was thinking about completing the Emperor's request first. She thought that Prince Jingnan would come and take Lin Jinghan away at any time. In order not to waste time, she did not pursue the matter of Nanny Li's injury and went straight to the point:
"Someone, bring the witness up!"
A large number of people were brought up, and Lin Jinghan looked at them one by one: there were neighbors of Lin Jinghan’s home in Xingqing Township - Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Grandma Wang, etc., as well as "eyewitnesses" when Lin Jinghan was kidnapped by the bandits.
The reason why she remembered these people was that when the original owner was captured, they all huddled in place and no one dared to stand up to stop her, except for the man who was recuperating in the clinic.
Later she learned that the man's name was Dai Shao. It was only when she accidentally heard from Wu Si the reason why King Jingnan sent his troops to Bugui Mountain that she confirmed Dai Shao's identity.
And the one on the far right is Wu Yan!
Wu! Yan! The scene of her mother's tragic death was etched in her mind. Her enemy was right before her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot, and murderous intent was surging from her body. If she hadn't been concerned that this was the Cining Palace, she would have rushed over and torn Wu Yan into pieces!
Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, and then a nanny came forward, pointed at Lin Jinghan, and asked, "Take a closer look. Do you recognize this girl?"
The nanny deliberately did not point out Lin Jinghan's identity, for she was worried that these people would not dare to tell the truth because of her identity.
Neighbor Aunt Li was the first to raise her head and scrutinize Lin Jinghan. She recognized her, but the woman before her, dressed in gorgeous clothes and exuding a terrifying aura, was no longer the Lin Jinghan she remembered, the one who was scolded and beaten daily. Unsure, she asked, "Jinghan? Is that you?"
Lin Jinghan's mind was now full of how to kill Wu Yan in a moment, so how could she have the mood to greet these random people? She said impatiently, "It's me."
Aunt Li looked up and was about to say something, but was pulled by the man next to her. She remembered that this was the imperial palace and she couldn't talk nonsense. She quickly shut up, lowered her head, and didn't dare to breathe.
As if they had discussed it beforehand, several people pointed out Lin Jinghan one by one and said that they recognized her.
Finally, Wu Yan raised his head, glanced at Lin Jinghan, and said with a smile, "Of course I recognize her. Isn't she my wife? My beauty, what's the matter? Are you worried about your husband? Have you come to ask the Queen Mother to save your husband?"
Lin Jinghan clenched her fists and stared at Wu Yan. She was so provoked by Wu Yan that she almost couldn't help but go up and kill him! Her nails pinched her palms and hurt. Her rationality returned a little. She secretly warned herself not to be impulsive. This was the Queen Mother's plan and she must not fall for it. After a while, she finally suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and looked at Wu Yan angrily.
"Wu Yan, you killed my mother. One day, I will tear you into pieces!"
"Kill me? Just you?" Wu Yan looked Lin Jinghan up and down, revealing an evil smile. "Of course it's impossible under normal circumstances, but if it's in bed, it's still possible. After all, my wife's skills, as your husband..."
