"Ah, the Queen Mother is so thoughtful. This really touches Jinghan..." Lin Jinghan said in embarrassment, "But, the prince is so good to Jinghan. Jinghan really loves him. If he wants Jinghan to poison him with her own hands, Jinghan can't do it..."
"Princess Jingnan, you must think carefully. If today's events were to get out, your reputation would be ruined. Even if Prince Jingnan likes you very much, he will definitely not let you live to embarrass him."
"Is that so..." Lin Jinghan's eyes showed determination, and she finally made up her mind. "I can promise the Queen Mother that I will do this for you, but I only believe in immediate benefits. If the Queen Mother really wants Jinghan to have a bright future, why not exchange it for silver notes? I'll take the money, do the work for the Queen Mother, and we'll be done. But I don't know how much the life of Prince Jingnan is worth."
"How dare you! The Queen Mother saved you out of kindness, and you actually dared to bargain with her!" the nanny scolded.
"If the Queen Mother is unwilling to make a deal with Jinghan, then Jinghan would rather gamble her life on whether Prince Jingnan, who has always been protective of his people, will protect me, the Princess of Jingnan." Lin Jinghan looked at the Queen Mother with a fearless look on her face.
"Five hundred thousand taels. I'll give you half first, and the other half after the task is completed. How about that?" The Queen Mother wasn't worried about Lin Jinghan taking the silver. Because Lin Jinghan's poison had penetrated her body and she was dying, she could just take it back after she died. So she was relatively generous with her money, hoping that Lin Jinghan would be completely devoted to poisoning Prince Jingnan.
"Deal!" Lin Jinghan was in a very good mood after selling Sikong Zhan's life for 250,000 taels. She left the Cining Palace and took off the poison bracelet.
Not long after he walked out, he ran into Sikong Zhan who was rushing over.
He looked her up and down, "The Queen Mother didn't give you any trouble, did she?"
"No." Lin Jinghan looked around secretly, then stepped forward to push Sikong Zhan's wheelchair, "Let's go home, Your Highness."
When she returned to the palace, the first thing she did was to look for Doctor Ran. Sikong Zhan said with a cold face, "He went to the army for treatment."
"Oh." Lin Jinghan thought for a moment. Although she had only worn the poison bracelet for a short while, she must have been slightly poisoned. The medical space was now out of energy, and she needed to replenish it as soon as possible. So she said, "Your Highness, since the army needs a doctor, I will go and help."
She was about to leave when Sikong Zhan took her back. "You don't need to worry about this matter. Doctor Ran is enough on his own."
"Oh, then Your Highness, please go ahead and do your work. I'll be out for a while." She pushed his hand away and continued walking out.
"I will go with you." He waved his hand, and a secret guard suddenly appeared, pushing the wheelchair and caught up with Lin Jinghan.
Knowing that where Sikong Zhan was going was not something she could control, she could only let him follow her. The two of them got into the carriage and headed towards the street.
The capital city is worthy of being the capital of the emperor, with bustling traffic and bustling crowds, it is very lively.
Their carriage had the logo of Prince Jingnan's Palace hanging on it, and pedestrians gave way when they saw it, so the journey was smooth.
When they reached the main street, they saw rows of bustling shops and all kinds of vendors hawking their wares on the street. Lin Jinghan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw all kinds of strange and bizarre things. She was so tempted that she simply asked the driver to stop the carriage, jumped out, and walked.
Sikong Zhan still appeared to be a patient to outsiders and did not get out of the carriage. He only told the driver to follow Lin Jinghan and then closed his eyes to rest in the carriage.
It was the first time that Lin Jinghan saw these ancient treasures, and she had a huge amount of money with her. She bought everything she liked, had never seen before, or was interesting, and soon filled the back of the carriage.
When Lin Jinghan arrived at the carriage with a large pile of things, she smiled brightly at Sikong Zhan and said, "Your Highness, there's no more room in the back. How about you move around?"
Sikong Zhan's mouth twitched. He never expected that one day, he, the dignified King of Jingnan, would be asked to make room for these goods!
"Pah, pah!" He clapped his hands and pointed at the back of the carriage. Immediately, a secret guard appeared and in the blink of an eye, they carried away the things in the back, and also took away the things that Lin Jinghan was holding...
It’s great to be rich and powerful! Lin Jinghan cast an admiring look at Sikong Zhan, then turned around and continued shopping - since she wasn’t worried about not being able to take it all away, why not buy more?
Sikong Zhan waited patiently, then took out a book and began to read it carefully, paying no attention to what was happening outside. After the things in the back compartment were filled and sent away several times, Lin Jinghan was finally satisfied and returned to the carriage, ordering the driver, "Go to the best medical clinic in the capital."
He returned to his seat, ate the candy man in his left hand, and passed the candy man in his right hand to Sikong Zhan. "Your Highness, please have some. It's very sweet."
"I don't eat sweets." Sikong Zhan didn't even raise his head and continued reading.
"Sugar is something that brings people happiness. If Your Highness doesn't eat it, he will lose a lot of happiness." Lin Jinghan took a big bite of the sugar man in her right hand, then took a bite on the left and the right, eating happily by herself, completely ignoring Sikong Zhan next to her.
The crunching sound finally stopped. Sikong Zhan looked up at Lin Jinghan, who had candy on her lips, frowned in disgust, and threw a handkerchief to her.
"Thank you!" Lin Jinghan took it without hesitation, wiped her mouth carefully, threw the handkerchief aside like a piece of used toilet paper, and then lifted the car curtain to look at the scenery.
Sikong Zhan closed the book, looked at Lin Jinghan, then looked at the handkerchief beside him, shook his head, opened the book and continued reading.
The carriage stopped and the driver called out, "Prince, Princess, we're at the clinic."
Lin Jinghan was the first to jump off the carriage. She looked up and saw the plaque on the clinic read "Huichuntang". The corners of her mouth twitched: "Isn't Jishitang the best clinic in the capital?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it - how could she forget that Huichuntang was Sikong Zhan's place, and they were going to the clinic, so the coachman naturally thought of his own clinic first!
"As the owner of Huichuntang, you will be kicked out if you go to Jishiditang." Sikong Zhan sat in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the carriage by the secret guards.
"Ah?" Lin Jinghan was confused and stared at Sikong Zhan waiting for his explanation.
Sikong Zhan didn't say much and walked straight into Huichun Hall.
"Hey, wait!" Lin Jinghan ran over and caught up with Sikong Zhan. The two of them went to the back hall of Huichun Hall. Then a masked woman pushed the door open and walked in. She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
He turned to look at Lin Jinghan, his eyes full of smiles, "Greetings, Princess."
"Boss lady?!" Lin Jinghan was surprised and looked her up and down.
The woman in front of him turned out to be Xia Yiran, the owner of Huichuntang in Linghe City!
"Princess, now you are the boss of Huichuntang. I am just your subordinate and cannot be worthy of being called the boss lady." Xia Yiran smiled even more deeply and handed the small box on the table to Lin Jinghan.
