The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 12: 1 Speculation about Her Royal Highness the Princess's Zodiac Sign

Lin Shanjuan was also a little nervous because of him. As a modern person suddenly having to meet the powerful eldest princess, she was still a little nervous.

"Don't shake, you're shaking like that and holding onto me, you're infecting me!"

Bai Shu was about to cry: "But... I'm scared!"

Lin Shanjuan cursed him softly: "I'm scared too!"

"But you didn't even tremble!"

"I was trembling inside!"

The two were whispering when the door in front of them suddenly opened. Then, without warning, they met Xihe's gaze.

The corners of her lips curled up, revealing a hint of tenderness, but the smile was superficial: "Am I so terrifying?"

What's the difference between this and being caught saying something bad by the person involved?

Bai Shu tried to lift himself up but couldn't get down. His knees went weak and he fell to his knees.

Lin Shanjuan was almost dragged by him to kneel there. She tried to calm down, took a quick look at him, and explained guiltily.

"No, no, we can't stand big scenes."

Xihe's eyes fell on Bai Shu's sleeve, which was still held tight. He stared for a second, then looked away and turned inside, leaving behind only a suggestive back.

Lin Shanjuan dragged Bai Shu, who had stood up stiffly, inside. The two of them were almost as stiff as before.

You know what, Xihe was knocked unconscious by the incense that night, so she looked weak and non-aggressive.

Now that he was sober and looking at it, the domineering aura that was intimidating without even being angry was clearly revealed, which really made Lin Shanjuan a little afraid.

She seemed to realize at this moment that she was living in ancient times, an era when the emperor was furious, millions of people were killed, and blood flowed for thousands of miles.

In short: You really can’t not be afraid!

Xihe had already taken her seat. Her slender fingers were as white and tender as catkins. She lowered her brows and nodded as she brought the teacup to her lips. Her wide sleeves were embroidered with neat and still gold threads, and a lifelike Chongming bird was embroidered on the bright red satin. Everything revealed the power and dignity of the eldest princess.

The woman's features seemed gentle at first glance, but with those bad rumors around, Lin Shanjuan was still a little wary.

Xihe nodded his chin and said politely, "Sit down."

When they arrived at the eldest princess's place, they had to sit down even if they didn't want to. Lin Shanjuan didn't dare to disobey and dragged Bai Shu to sit down.

The princess looked at Bai Shu, then at Lin Shanjuan, but did not directly expose her identity. Instead, she asked:

"You two have helped me twice, but I haven't told you your names yet."

She calmly placed the tea bowl on the table. The room was so quiet that even the sound of the bowl being placed down seemed heavy.

She knew her name was Huang Yue, and she asked the general to convey the message "Miss Huang". Why does she seem to know nothing now?

Lin Shanjuan met Xihe's pretended gentle eyes and suddenly guessed a possibility - maybe there were many eyes and ears around her, so she deliberately concealed it?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanjuan decided to continue the conversation as she wished.

"My last name is Lin, Lin Shanjuan. This is my friend Bai Shu."

Lin Shanjuan, this guy reacts quickly.

Xihe thought so, then smiled, showing her easygoing nature: "I appreciate your kindness, but I haven't thought of a reward yet. If you like anything, please tell me."

Can you tell me everything?

The eldest princess is a person who can’t take back her words once she has spoken, right?

Bai Shu just wants to leave here. It's his moral obligation to make a promise. Do you really dare to ask for it?

Lin Shanjuan was different. His mind was full of the four words "a word is as good as gold". He immediately thought of the one thousand taels he had sacrificed innocently.

and so--

"Then Your Highness, please give me the thousand yuan I spent on salt..."

The fearful Bai Shu pulled the arm and pulled back the second half of his words.

Seeing the two of them pulling each other again, as if they had a close relationship, Xihe couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If the two of them were in love and eloped, it would only cause more trouble if I took her as my consort.

So she glanced at the maid guarding the door and said, "You can leave."

The maids did not dare to delay even a moment. After paying their respects, they left and closed the door.

The sound of the door closing startled Bai Shu. Lin Shanjuan was also a little confused, so he simply asked, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

Xihe, with an elegant demeanor and a dignified manner, sat there and asked directly, "I want to know what your relationship is."

So direct?

Lin Shanjuan was stunned for a moment. What relationship could there be between her and this silly boy?

"Friends." She blurted out.

Bai Shu, who had always considered himself a servant, raised his head with tears in his eyes. "My boss is so kind! Even at such a serious moment, he still gives me face and treats me like a friend!"

"Friend?" Xihe took a sip of tea, and his gentle look became a little lighter.

"I've seen you two pulling each other around a lot, but it doesn't seem like you're just good friends."

Why does this person keep asking about personal relationships?

Lin Shanjuan didn't understand what he meant, so he simply asked, "Princess, if you have something to say, just say it."

Bai Shu: ...

Oh my god, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess! Man Jingguo is a woman who can control the life and death of even a rabbit. How can we be good if you speak so harshly?

He threw himself to the ground with a determined heart, "Your Highness, please forgive me! I, she was ignorant of etiquette and offended Your Highness! Please don't blame me!"

Xihe was not tired of seeing this set of begging for mercy tricks, and Lin Shanjuan was almost tired of it.

Xihe glanced at Bai Shu and quickly looked away. Countless people knelt down to worship her every day, and she didn't have the patience to pay attention to every one of them.

But she really wanted to pay attention to the person in front of her who was speaking aggressively: "I never beat around the bush. If you and he were just friends, why would he protect you so much?"

Lin Shanjuan lost his patience and sneered, "Then whatever your Highness says is the relationship, that's it."

No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. Xihe felt a little annoyed, and her gentle appearance completely disappeared. She snorted softly, "How dare you!"

Bai Shu became even more frightened and could not think of any words to beg for mercy, so he just kowtowed.

Lin Shanjuan's heart trembled, and he could only hold his nerve for three seconds: "Your Highness, I was wrong."

Xihe was stunned - seeing her cold and hard appearance, he thought she was a stubborn and rigid person, but he didn't expect her to give in so quickly.

She calmed down for a few seconds, and her tone softened a little: "Now that you know you're wrong, can you think of any way to make amends?"

Lin Shanjuan: ???

Didn’t you always say that we helped you a lot and wanted to reward us?

Anyway, I have to leave something for you?

Xihe understood her doubts, but did not say anything. At this time, as long as she did not say anything, this person would definitely continue to give in.

Lin Shanjuan felt a surge of anger in her heart, but it finally died down. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now that she has entered someone else's house, she has to lie down too!

"We don't need rewards, so that the merits and demerits can be offset?" she asked tentatively.

Xihe closed her eyes, looking as dignified as a painting, but she didn't say a word, which made people feel uneasy.

Lin Shanjuan gritted his teeth: I am not satisfied but I won’t say it. When will you guess and propose a solution, then I will pay attention to you?
