Lin Jinghan was fine; she was a woman after all, so even if she had any reaction, it wouldn't show on the outside. She silently cursed herself and tried to calm herself down, not letting her mind wander.
She felt the human heater grow even warmer, even a little scalding. The key point was that the man's transformation was so noticeable that it was hard for her to ignore it! Lin Jinghan no longer felt cold; she even felt a little hot, her face burning.
This man's concentration is too poor! He said he wouldn't be interested in women and had no desires! The rumors are really all lies!
"Well, Your Highness, how about I sit forward?" Lin Jinghan said stiffly: She would rather be cold than be embarrassed like this.
"Don't move!" Sikong Zhan's voice was hoarse, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he freed one hand to press Lin Jinghan into his arms.
“…” Lin Jinghan was speechless. She sat there obediently, not daring to move, for fear that something bad would happen if she moved.
He let go of her slightly, letting her leave him as the horse galloped, and then fall into his arms as the horse's hooves landed, giving him an unprecedented wonderful touch.
This feeling was just right. He even hoped that this feeling would last forever!
Cangmang Villa is not too far from Bugui Mountain. Amidst Lin Jinghan's resentment and Sikong Zhan's satisfaction, they finally reached their destination.
Seeing the Jingnan Army base right in front of her, Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the embarrassment along the way was finally over.
He slowed down the horse and finally stopped it. The wonderful touch disappeared and Sikong Zhan actually felt regretful.
As soon as the horse stopped, Lin Jinghan couldn't wait to jump off the horse, but her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. If Sikong Zhan hadn't pulled her, she would have fallen.
She shuddered and quickly pulled her arm out of his hand, "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm anxious to find Doctor Ran Xiao for treatment. I'll leave first."
This man had just treated her so badly on horseback. She had to leave quickly. Otherwise, if he turned into a wolf, she wouldn't be able to beat him...
No, she couldn't let that happen! Never!
Without waiting for Sikong Zhan to answer, she walked away with a red face and head lowered, pretending to be calm. However, her slightly staggering steps exposed her true condition at the moment.
Seeing Lin Jinghan couldn't wait to leave, Sikong Zhan, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly felt irritated and had an urge to rush over and pick her up.
As soon as this thought popped up, he was shocked: When did his self-control become so poor that he even let a woman control his emotions!
The temperature around him dropped and returned to his usual coldness, even colder than before. He didn't look in the direction Lin Jinghan left and walked straight towards his tent.
At this time, several generals of the Jingnan Army had gathered in Sikong Zhan's tent.
"Who did the emperor send? Where is he now? What's the situation at the mine?" Sikong Zhan asked.
"Your Highness, an hour ago, the Jingji Defense Battalion arrived outside of the Bugui Mountain and surrounded the main road. If we hadn't opened up a secret passage beforehand, I'm afraid Your Highness would have run into the Jingji Defense Battalion when he returned."
A general replied respectfully,
"The iron ore we mined this time is of better quality than the last time, and its content is very high. If we have enough time, we will definitely be able to mine enough iron ore to create thousands of sets of armor and weapons!"
The speaker was Hong Chengwang, captain of the first team of the Jingnan Army.
Hong Chengwang is less than 30 years old, with a full beard and a slightly rough appearance, but he is actually a very meticulous person. He is highly valued by Sikong Zhan, and most of the military supplies of the Jingnan Army are handled by him.
"Stop mining immediately, concentrate all our resources to transport the mined iron ore, and evacuate the mine within one day!" Sikong Zhan said.
"Your Highness, we don't have enough time to transport all the iron ore from the mine in one day!" Hong Chengwang wanted to buy more time.
"If we can't transport it, then just throw it away." Sikong Zhan said in a firm tone.
"Your Highness?" Hong Chengwang was heartbroken. That was the iron ore they had mined hammer by hammer! Was it going to be thrown away like this?
Sikong Zhan's eyes became stern as he stared at Hong Chengwang, "Chengwang, losing the big picture for the sake of the small is a big taboo in the army."
Hong Chengwang knew that he had developed an inappropriate greed and quickly knelt down, "I know I was wrong."
"Go ahead, don't let your brothers work in vain." Sikong Zhan's tone slowed down slightly.
"I will follow the prince's order!" Hong Chengwang lowered his head, bowed and retreated, without a trace of nostalgia or hesitation on his face.
After returning to the camp, Lin Jinghan immediately went to see Dr. Ran.
Doctor Ran was asleep when someone called her, and she was grumbling in displeasure. When she learned that it was Lin Jinghan who wanted her treatment, she immediately shut up and stopped grumbling. She quickly dressed and ran to the tent to greet her in person.
Before Doctor Ran left the tent, Lin Jinghan walked in by herself. Without any hesitation, she put her right arm in front of Doctor Ran and said, "Doctor Ran, I have sprained my right arm..."
"Are you injured? Let me see!" Doctor Ran immediately grabbed Lin Jinghan's left hand and began to feel her pulse. He then carefully examined her right arm: an injury to her right hand is no small matter. He also wanted to learn more about acupuncture techniques from the princess! The princess's hand must not be injured!
Lin Jinghan knew that her hand injury wasn't so serious that it couldn't be cured, but seeing Dr. Ran Xiao's dedication to her treatment, she felt a little touched. "I'm a doctor myself. This hand isn't serious. You don't have to worry."
Doctor Ran Xiao finished his diagnosis and said, "It's really not serious. Just take a few doses of medicine and acupuncture for a few days, and you'll be cured."
