The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Xihe was a little skeptical about her "stiff neck" claim, but considering everything this person had done, he was also a little puzzled:

If she was sent by Ji Shihan, how could she get drunk with the emperor on the first night and be like this the next day...

Is this a case of great wisdom appearing foolish, or are there really such stupid spies?

After all, the person who announced the decree would be here soon, and if people saw her like this, they would inevitably make up something.

She didn't mind losing face herself, but she couldn't bring shame to the royal family.

Xihe put down the pen in his hand and walked up to her with a caring look: "Since the prince consort is so unwell, why not call the imperial physician to take a look."

Lin Shanjuan immediately imagined that once the imperial physician left, the maids would probably all know about her stiff neck.

Such an embarrassing thing happened on the first night at the princess's mansion. It would be too embarrassing to tell others about it!

Even though I'm a down-and-out killer now, I can't be laughed at by one person after another. This is simply unacceptable!

So she reluctantly refused, "No, I'll be fine after a while. Isn't the nanny coming this afternoon? I'll definitely be recovered by this afternoon."

Xi and Ben didn't really care, so they let her go to avoid any trouble. "That's fine."

Lin Shanjuan responded, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Xi and Rourou smiled and watched Lin Shanjuan leave.

She watched the man rubbing his neck as he walked out. Her gentle smile gradually gave way to speculation, and she suddenly said, "What do you think?"

Yue Liu thought for a few seconds and said, "I don't think she is Master Ji's spy."

Xihe chuckled: "You speak for her."

Yue Liu was startled: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I spoke nonsense."

Xihe turned back and picked up the pen to write again: "No problem, I was asking you this question, it's a good thing if you tell the truth."

Yueliu then stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xihe wrote as she spoke, "Her appearance was coincidental, and there are many suspicious points about her. I suspect she is not Huang Yue. Once the person who went to get the information returns, the truth will be revealed."

"Who she is will surely be determined by then."

-

The sun passed quickly and it was afternoon in the blink of an eye.

Lin Shanjuan had finished his lunch and was idly painting small flowers in his room. With a stable job, his mood had improved significantly, and the chirping of birds and insects had become much more pleasant.

She was humming a broken tune when she suddenly heard someone calling her outside.

"Miss Lin, the angel announcing the decree has arrived."

The voice sounded unfamiliar. She moved her neck stiffly and stood up. She felt more comfortable than in the morning. At least she didn't have to stare in one direction all the time.

Only then did she feel comfortable enough to go out. As soon as she pushed the door open, the maid who was calling her came in and the two of them bumped into each other.

Lin Shanjuan was stronger after all, and it was the little maid who was knocked to the ground.

She was so panicked that she didn't even dare to get up. She quickly knelt on the side and banged her head on the ground, "Please spare my life! This slave... This slave is blind and has offended you!"

Lin Shanjuan touched his chest and was speechless for a while, but he also blamed himself for leaving in a hurry, and could not just blame the little maid.

Seeing her kneeling on the ground and jumping and kowtowing, Lin Shanjuan felt as if there was a number above his head showing his life span, which fell down with every kowtowing.

She quickly reached out and pulled the maid up: "It's okay, I didn't see you, blame me, don't knock me."

She was used to carrying Bai Shu, and she didn't know how to control her strength, so she just... lifted up the light and fluttery little maid.

The little maid's head quickly left the ground, and not only that, her body also left the ground.

She was flattered and looked at Lin Shanjuan with her big eyes blinking, which made Lin feel a little embarrassed for being so shameless and he quickly put her down.

"Excuse me, is it the angel who announced the decree...is it here?"

The maidservant suddenly became like a frightened little rabbit, realizing that she was staring at her master, and hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes, I am waiting in the front yard. His Highness has asked me to call you over."

Lin Shanjuan hummed, "Then could you please lead the way? My neck...is not very convenient."

The maid nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but look at this overly polite master twice, "Future Prince Consort, follow me."

The two walked along the winding corridor and came to the front yard, where they saw a group of maids and servants kneeling on the ground, as well as a small stool holding the imperial edict.

Lin Shanjuan remembered the "drinking with friends" last night and felt quite fond of the little eunuch who was on duty.

Xiaodunzi winked and coughed lightly, "Lin Shanjuan, accept the order!"

The voice was completely different from the humble one last night. It was high-pitched, sharp, and full of twists and turns.

Lin Shanjuan stood there without moving. Seeing this, Bai Shu had no choice but to gently pull the corner of her clothes.

She knew she had to kneel down, but it was the first time in her life that she had to kneel down, so she had to prepare herself mentally.

After hesitating for two seconds, she chose to bend down, using a not-so-standard four-point support, which looked like a very standard kneeling posture from another angle.

Very good, my knees are still a coin's distance from the ground. No one can see it, and I have deceived myself.

She was very satisfied, but she didn't know that Xihe, who was sitting next to her, had already seen through her little thoughts.

Don't want to kneel?

Could it be that she is really a spy for those rebel ministers?

But if he was really a spy, how could he be so stupid as to do these self-deceiving tricks in front of me?

This person is really hard to understand.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Lin Shanjuan was waiting for Xiaodunzi to read the imperial edict, Xiaodunzi was waiting for Xihe's signal, and Xihe was looking at Lin Shanjuan with interest.

See how long you can last.

Time passed by little by little, Lin Shanjuan had already counted hundreds of numbers in his mind, but Xiaodunzi still didn't say a word.

What's wrong? Does the imperial edict still come with a code? Or did you bring the wrong one and bring the one without the inscription?

It’s okay to make it up, but just speak up!

Xihe was somewhat surprised that she could hold on for so long. Xiaodunzi reminded her in a low voice, very nervously: "Your Highness..."

Forget it, let her go for now.

Xihe smiled, his expression only showing for a moment before he withdrew: "Read."

Xiaodunzi let out a long sigh, then cleared his throat and read the imperial edict.

Lin Shanjuan didn't quite understand those twists and turns of words, and was still counting the time second by second in his heart.

After another long two minutes, Xiaodunzi finally stopped talking. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost jumped up. Bai Shu hurriedly whispered the answer to her: "I accept your order and thank you!"

Lin Shanjuan followed suit: "I accept your order and thank you for your grace."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Shu, who gave her an affirmative look.

Very good, no flaws.

Xihe saw the implicit interaction between the two, and the curve of his lips became more dangerous.

Could it be that these two people really have an affair?

Xiaodunzi smiled brightly and took a few steps closer to Lin Shanjuan. "Since the Prince Consort has received the imperial decree, please take good care of His Highness Xihe in the future."
