"Antidote?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and asked, "What antidote?"
Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth, a hint of anger appearing on his fair face, but he suppressed it, "What kind of drug did you give me? Why hasn't my martial arts recovered yet?"
"Give me the antidote!"
Two days ago, she had attempted to assassinate Lin Jiangnian at night, but she had accidentally been poisoned by the bastard prince, causing her to lose all her martial arts skills. She had originally planned to wait until her martial arts skills were restored before seeking revenge on the bastard prince. However, two days had passed, and her martial arts skills had not yet recovered.
Although she was no longer as powerless as before, her martial arts seemed to be suppressed, and she could not use the internal force in her body at all. At this moment, she was no different from an ordinary weak woman.
She knew that this must be Lin Jiangnian's doing!
Shen Lingjun relied on her outstanding martial arts skills to make those villains in the martial arts world fear and respect her.
Now that she has lost all her martial arts skills, she has almost no place to stand in this world. A woman without martial arts skills will most likely not survive more than three days in this world.
Therefore, she had to take the risk to stop Lin Jiangnian, who had not yet left, and ask him for the antidote.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her with amusement: "Is this your attitude when asking someone to do something for you?"
"you……"
Shen Lingjun's eyes were blazing with anger, and he gritted his teeth, "What do you want?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her sideways: "This prince was kind enough to let you go, but you took advantage of it and treated me so badly... Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Do you think this prince will give you the antidote?"
Shen Lingjun's expression froze.
Why do I feel like what this bastard prince said seems to make some sense?
etc……
wrong!
This bastard is clearly trying to change the subject?!
"So what do you want?!"
She suppressed her anger and spoke with a dark face.
This bastard prince bullied her, and she still had to beg him servilely?
"What do you want?"
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand calmly: "I've already said that this prince is magnanimous and has let you go. You should be grateful. Go wherever you want, but don't get in my way."
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, ignored her, turned around and got on the carriage.
Shen Lingjun's face immediately turned pale with anger. Just as she was about to step forward, she quickly stopped and calmed down. In front of her stood several guards in black armor. She was no stranger to them; they were the personal guards of Prince Lin, highly skilled in martial arts and unfathomable.
On the other side, the guard named Lin Qingqing was also staring at her expressionlessly, his body slightly bent, ready to draw his sword at any time.
After seeing that Shen Lingjun did not act rashly, she coldly withdrew her gaze, turned around and left.
Afterwards, the carriage outside the town slowly left and headed north.
Outside the town, Shen Lingjun stood there, staring at the convoy that was gradually moving away, his heart sinking.
She knew very well that she must have been drugged by that bastard prince, causing her to lose all her martial arts. Now that she had lost her martial arts, it was difficult for her to survive.
Over the years, she has been wandering around the martial arts world and has offended many enemies. If they find out...
Shen Lingjun took a deep breath and tried to circulate the internal energy in his body, but he felt as if something was sealing it inside and he couldn't mobilize it at all.
She became increasingly anxious!
Without martial arts, what’s the difference between that and death?
In fact, the outcome may be even worse!
No one knows better than her what will happen to a beautiful but weak woman in the world.
Thinking of this, Shen Lingjun's face turned pale.
Only then did she suddenly realize why Lin Jiangnian let her go... He had no intention of letting her go at all.
Shen Lingjun's face turned pale. He looked up at the convoy that was gradually leaving in the distance. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
…
Inside the carriage.
After resting for two days, we continued heading north.
The next stop is Xunyang County.
Inside the carriage, Lin Jiangnian lazily leaned against the couch, his eyes half-closed. Xiaozhu sat obediently beside him. She had taken off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, blinking curiously at the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness?"
"how?"
"Who was that sister from earlier?"
Xiao Zhu couldn't help but ask curiously.
She didn't know what had happened in the past two days, and naturally she didn't know about Lin Jiangnian's assassination. She just felt that there was another beautiful woman around His Highness these past two days.
"A madwoman."
Lin Jiang laughed young.
"Mad woman?"
Xiao Zhu tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Then what antidote did she ask His Highness for?"
"Stop being curious."
Lin Jiangnian reached out and rubbed her little head, messing up her bun.
Xiao Zhu pouted, looked at His Highness with a bit of dissatisfaction, and combed her hair that was messed up by His Highness.
Lin Jiangnian really liked the little maid's submissive look. When he saw her fixing her hair, he suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms.
"ah!"
Xiao Zhu screamed, her face flushed as she fell into Lin Jiangnian's arms. Lin Jiangnian hugged her skillfully and lowered his head to kiss her fair face.
Xiaozhu's fair and pretty face soon turned red, and her shy eyes dared not look at him.
"Your Highness, don't..."
"I haven't hugged you for a long time, please let me satisfy my urge to do it!"
Lin Jiangnian held the little maid in his arms and slowly reached down along Xiaozhu's white collar.
"Your Highness, no, don't..."
Xiao Zhu blushed and trembled as she tried to refuse. She grabbed His Highness's hand, trying to stop him, but her strength was insufficient. Rather than trying to stop him, it was more like she was trying to resist.
Just at this moment.
"Your Highness?"
Lin Qingqing's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
Xiao Zhu, who was in the carriage, trembled immediately, not knowing whether she was frightened by the sudden sound outside the carriage or something else.
Xiao Zhu's face was burning red, she tightly grasped the prince's mischievous big hand, breathing rapidly, lowering her head, her little face full of shame and anger, her delicate body tense, she dared not speak, let alone breathe.
However, Lin Jiangnian was extremely brave and didn't seem to care whether there was anyone outside the carriage. He still held Xiaozhu in his arms, and his other hand began to move skillfully along.
"What is it?"
Outside the carriage, Lin Qingqing said calmly: "Your Highness, she's following us!"
"oh?"
Inside the carriage, Lin Jiangnian looked at Xiaozhu in his arms with a half-smile: "Where is she?"
"Our people found her behind the carriage. Your Highness, do you want to drive her away?" There was a hint of coldness in Lin Qingqing's voice.
Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "No need."
"Keep her. If she wants to follow, then let her follow."
"yes."
After Lin Qingqing walked away, Xiaozhu in his arms finally felt relieved as if he had committed a crime.
"Okay, let's continue."
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the little maid in his arms, and the playful smile on his face became even wider.
"Your Highness..." The little maidservant's face flushed, and she looked pitiful, opening her mouth to beg for mercy.
But just as he opened his mouth, Lin Jiangnian suddenly lowered his head and covered his mouth.
“Hmm, hmm…”
The time spent traveling north did not seem too boring.
“…”
Night falls.
Official road suburbs.
After entering Yanzhou and leaving the small town, there is a long and desolate area.
There were no towns or even villages along the way.
Before dark, we had to set up camp in the wild and rest for the night.
Since setting out from Linjiang City, they've camped a lot along the way, and Lin Jiangnian is used to it! The accompanying guards are hidden in the darkness, patrolling and deploying defenses, and everything proceeds in an orderly manner. Safety is extremely important when spending the night in the wild.
There were countless sentries and covert sentries near the suburbs. The guards hiding in the darkness concealed their presence and moved silently.
On the other side, Xiao Zhu blushed and walked away from His Highness to help Lin Qingqing set up the tent. Lin Qingqing looked at the little maid beside her with wrinkled clothes and a blush on her face that had not yet completely faded, and her eyes were strange.
How could she not see what was happening in the carriage?
Your Highness is really... as expected.
"Xiaozhu?"
Lin Qingqing suddenly spoke.
"Sister Qingqing, what's wrong?" Xiao Zhu looked up, only to see Lin Qingqing glance at her casually: "Your Highness, did you get bullied again?"
Xiao Zhu's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head in panic.
“I, I…”
He stuttered and was too nervous and shy to speak.
Lin Qingqing already had the answer, but remembering Sister Zhiyuan's instructions, she couldn't help but ask, "So, did you and His Highness have... that?"
Xiao Zhu looked up a bit bewilderedly, then quickly lowered his head again: "Which one?"
"That's the one..."
Lin Qingqing thought about it, but didn't know how to ask.
"Did you do that with His Highness?"
"Which one?"
"That..."
Xiao Zhu still didn't quite understand: "Which one is that?"
Lin Qingqing: “…”
Lin Qingqing took a deep breath, glanced back, and saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was chatting with several guards not far away and was not looking at her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he leaned close to Xiao Zhu and whispered in her ear: "That's it..."
"Have you served His Highness in bed?"
Xiao Zhu was startled, her pretty face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly shook her head in panic: "No, no..."
"Really?" Lin Qingqing looked suspicious.
"without……"
Xiao Zhu lowered her head, her face so red it looked like blood was coming out.
"Not yet..."
Hearing this, for some reason, Lin Qingqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
“…”
Lin Jiangnian sat under a tree, watching the people busying around not far away, and glanced back at the darkness not far behind him.
"It's getting dark, are you still planning to keep hiding?"
In the darkness, there was no movement.
"Well, if you want to hide it, then hide it."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and ignored her.
At this moment, the darkness reacted again. A short while later, a figure emerged from the darkness, not far from Lin Jiangnian. It stared at him with an angry expression and gnashing teeth.
It was Shen Lingjun who had been following him all the way.
However, at this moment she looked somewhat embarrassed and haggard.
She was really exhausted after following him all the way today.
"You woman, there's something wrong with you."
Seeing her in such a state of disarray, Lin Jiangnian was in a good mood and smiled: "This prince has already let you go, but you still keep chasing me, even following me all the way... Are you in love with me?"
"Pooh!"
Hearing this, Shen Lingjun immediately spat and glared at him fiercely: "Even if I like someone, I will never like you!"
"Then I am relieved!"
Lin Jiangnian patted his chest, feeling relieved. "I was worried you'd get attached to me. I'm glad you don't like me... huh..."
Shen Lingjun: “…”
She didn't know why, even though she knew that this bastard prince said this on purpose, she still felt a strong sense of anger when she heard it.
Want to hit someone!
In the end, she held back.
Take a deep breath: "What do you want?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Shouldn't this be a question for me, the prince?"
"You've followed me all the way, and I haven't asked you what you want to do?"
"I want the antidote!"
Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth.
"Why should I give you the antidote?" Lin Jiangnian asked back.
Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth: "Since you won't give me the antidote, why don't you kill me?"
"I didn't mean to kill you!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her with a half-smile, "Of course, I don't plan to give you the antidote."
Shen Lingjun remained silent, staring at him expressionlessly for a long time. She took two steps forward, approached Lin Jiangnian, and sat down beside him without any dignity.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.
"Kill me if you dare. If you don't kill me, I won't leave!"
Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth and spoke.
Lin Jiangnian laughed. It was the first time he heard such an excessive request.
"You're not leaving?"
"That's right."
"So, you plan to follow me?"
"Any questions?"
"no problem."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head, "Since you like to follow me, I won't stop you."
The tone was calm and relaxed, leisurely and carefree.
Shen Lingjun suddenly turned her head, stared at him intently, and gritted her teeth: "What on earth do you want?!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly. Even in the dim environment, he could still see that she looked a little embarrassed. Her face was pale, she was panting, and she looked haggard.
Her clothes were a little messy, and she looked no different from an ordinary woman now. Maybe her physical fitness was a little stronger, but following him all the way really exhausted her.
Lin Jiangnian looked her over quietly, then said with a half-smile, "Didn't I tell you this a few days ago?"
"You'll regret this in a few days."
Shen Lingjun was silent.
After a long pause, she stared at him and said, "So, you wanted to torture me on purpose?"
"No."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "This prince will let you go, you can just leave!"
"Can I leave?!"
Shen Lingjun took a deep breath and stared at Lin Jiangnian. Unexpectedly, her eyes turned slightly red.
"I've lost all my martial arts skills now. If I leave here, I won't survive more than two days... maybe even shorter!"
No one knows better than her what will happen if one loses all his martial arts skills in the martial arts world. She dares not think about it, nor does she dare to face it!
Therefore, she didn't dare to leave today and could only follow this dog prince all the way... At least this dog prince was protected by many guards, and others didn't dare to approach him easily.
But once there is no shelter...
Perhaps thinking of the injustice she had suffered today, Shen Lingjun's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth.
"If you have the guts, just kill me!"
However, Lin Jiangnian remained expressionless, and as he looked at her, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Why do you want me to kill you?"
"Since you don't want to live anymore, why don't you... commit suicide?"
“…”
