Bang bang bang!
Lin Lixuan pumped his hands together, "Sister is so awesome!"
"The princess is a natural genius. If she practices more, her archery skills will surely be amazing in the future." The instructor at the side couldn't help but praise.
"Without a bow and arrow, how far can you shoot? Thirty meters? Five meters?" Sikong Zhan's face turned cold. He hated it most when his men were so complacent. "If this is the skill you are proud of, it's nothing special..."
The instructor was originally the King of Jingnan's man. He was frightened by Sikong Zhan's coldness and dared not say a word.
Lin Lixuan shrank his neck and inconspicuously moved closer to the instructor. This brother-in-law changed his expression so quickly, and his demands were so strict, it was really scary. Compared to him, the instructor was still the better one...
"You..." Lin Jinghan pouted, hands on her hips, "Just wait, one day, my archery skills will surpass yours!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Sikong Zhan smiled, sat on a stool beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it leisurely.
Sikong Zhan's expression changed so quickly... Lin Jinghan suddenly realized that she had been provoked! When had she fallen for such a trick? This wily and calculating King Jingnan was too much to handle...
Sikong Zhan has always been very busy, so naturally he doesn't have time to accompany Lin Jinghan all the time. After making all the arrangements for her, he returned to the Jingnan Palace.
Lin Jinghan stayed and staggered her classes with Lin Lixuan, and the two siblings entered a busy study state.
Around noon, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict suddenly came to Prince Jingnan's mansion.
It turned out that the emperor found out who poisoned Lin Jinghan. Of course, it was not the empress dowager, but the scapegoat found by the emperor. He carried the man's body directly to the gate of Prince Jingnan's Mansion.
The people in Prince Jingnan's Palace naturally would not allow anyone to carry the corpse into the palace, and stopped the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict outside the door.
Sikong Zhan walked to the door in a wheelchair and asked someone to identify the body. The dead person turned out to be the maid of Concubine Xian!
It seems that the emperor had abandoned Concubine Xian because of her selling of official positions and titles, and he simply pushed the blame for the poisoning onto the capable people around her.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Xian has been the only concubine in the palace. She is extremely favored and appears to be deeply in love with the emperor. However, she has become a discarded concubine today. The fate of Concubine Xian is a good example and makes people sigh.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict pointed at the head palace maid and said:
"The Emperor has orally declared that this woman is a spy from the Nanzhao Kingdom. She poisoned Princess Jingnan in order to provoke a dispute between the Prince and the Emperor. Fortunately, the Emperor and the Prince are of one mind, and the enemy's evil plan failed. This woman has also confessed her accomplice. The Emperor has instructed that she be handed over to Princess Jingnan for disposal."
A dead man, what else is there to do? Whipping the corpse? This emperor, carrying a dead man here, is not letting the victim vent his anger, it's simply looking for bad luck!
"I thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of my princess, but my princess has always been kind-hearted and cannot stand such things. You should carry this man away." Sikong Zhan waved his hand, actually wanting to drive him away.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict went to deliver the imperial edict, and he was worshipped everywhere. But the King of Jingnan did not give him any face. His face darkened, but he did not dare to get angry. He had to take out the imperial edict in a serious manner and began to complete the second task assigned by the emperor.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: There is a maidservant in the Prince of Jingnan's mansion, Shiqin. She is loyal to her master and should be a role model for other maidservants... She is hereby granted the title of 'Loyal Maid'..."
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict talked a lot, the gist of which was that last time Sikong Zhan asked that Shiqin be set as an example, the emperor followed his wish and set Shiqin as a role model for maids.
After the announcement was completed, no one responded to the order. The eunuch who delivered the order coughed lightly and reminded, "Quickly call the loyal maid to receive the order."
Sikong Zhan waved his hand, and Tang Xun pushed him away, leaving the eunuch who had delivered the imperial edict at the door. Before leaving, he glanced at Sun Geng, who was standing nearby. Sun Geng was the Jingnan Army general who had first entered the mine to rescue the people and had been transferred to the palace two days ago.
Sun Geng understood and stepped forward, "Shiqin has gone out with the princess and will be back very late." He ignored the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and directly took the imperial edict - let alone such an imperial edict, it was not worthy for Prince Jingnan to receive it in person. Even if he just read this imperial edict in front of Prince Jingnan, it would be an insult to Prince Jingnan.
Therefore, no one in the palace had a good face towards the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict couldn't even enter the door of Prince Jingnan's mansion. After delivering the imperial edict so many times, this was the first time he was rejected. After returning to the palace, he exaggerated the arrogance and rudeness of Prince Jingnan today and told the emperor.
The emperor was not too surprised by this. He sent the body over just to make Sikong Zhan unhappy. If Sikong Zhan had politely welcomed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, he would not be the King of Jingnan.
The eunuch who delivers the imperial edict represents the emperor. To embarrass the eunuch is to embarrass the emperor!
However, the bomb had already been buried in the Prince of Jingnan's Palace. The emperor was confident and dismissed the eunuch who delivered the order and sent someone to invite Prime Minister Lin into the palace.
When Lin Jinghan was invited back to Prince Jingnan's Mansion at dusk, she found that there was an extra person, Shiqin, among the people who came to pick her up.
Before she could ask, seeing her confusion, Shiqi beside her explained: "Since Shiqin saved the princess in the palace last time, she was named a loyal maid by the emperor."
Shiqin knelt down in front of Lin Jinghan, tears streaming down her face. "Princess, it was my fault before. I shouldn't have been so quick-tempered. Your Majesty is kind and has given me the opportunity to return to you. I will serve you wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly. Please forgive my mistakes."
Fault? What fault? Lin Jinghan was completely confused. She really didn't know why Shiqin left, but since she had returned and knew her fault, she would just keep it.
"Since you've admitted your mistake, I can forgive the past. The four of you have gathered together to enjoy the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which is also a refined pursuit. However, remember, although I don't usually like to get involved in other people's affairs, if anyone oversteps their bounds and interferes with my affairs, I will not forgive them lightly!"
"We will follow the princess's orders!" The four maids knelt down together.
Perhaps today was destined to be the day when Lin Jinghan would recruit someone. After returning to the palace, the three brothers of the Wu family had recovered and were waiting in the Nuanfeng Courtyard.
"Greetings, Princess!" The three brothers saluted with fists clasped.
"No need to be so polite." Lin Jinghan gestured to Wu Si to help his brothers up.
"From the moment the princess saved Xiao Si, we brothers have been grateful to her all the time. If we can follow her this time, we will definitely die for her. Please accept us three brothers!"
"Since you are brothers, I naturally cannot separate you. As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."
