The Killer's Cleansing Manual

She is the only kind elder in the palace, and she is old. It is always hard to bear to see her cry.

Nanny Chen wiped her tears, her voice still choked with sobs, "I don't know if this girl surnamed Lin knows how to care for others. You leaving here makes me worried."

Xihe thought of Lin Shanjuan. Even though she couldn't see through this person, she didn't want to say it out loud and add to Nanny Chen's worries. She smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, Nanny. As a woman, she knows how to love and protect me."

After a pause, he added, "Besides, Nanny Chen is going with me. If she doesn't love me, Nanny will help me vent my anger!"

Nanny Chen burst into laughter and said, "After today, she will be your Highness's consort. How can an old servant like me teach her a lesson?"

Xihe gently shook Nanny Chen's hand, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

"Madame Chen is from my mother's family, so what can't she do? If she doesn't do something right, Madam Chen will beat her!"

Nanny Chen was completely relieved and wiped her tears: "Your Highness is always good at coaxing old slaves. The time is almost here, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid outside came in to report.

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort is here to pick you up."

Xihe covered her head with the veil. The moment her vision was blocked, the warmth she felt when facing Nanny Chen completely disappeared.

"Let her in."

After riding all the way, Lin Shanjuan's sleepiness had long since disappeared. This place was not very close to the palace, so she walked all the way and listened to the people talking on the street, and she felt more sympathetic towards Xihe.

She has been able to survive all these years by feeding so many mouths, which is really not easy.

She dismounted swiftly and straightened her clothes. Her ears were filled with joyful sounds and there were many decorations hanging at the entrance of the palace. Only then did she feel a little dazed.

I really want to marry her.

Half a month ago, she would never have thought that she would marry a woman.

"Boss, go in." Bai Shu reminded.

Lin Shanjuan nodded, walked in, and arrived at the gate of "Jingxu Palace" under the guidance of many people.

They each get what they want from this marriage. At most, Her Royal Highness the Princess will suffer a little by supporting a parasite. As for me, the only thing I can do is to find out her wishes as soon as possible, and then I will have a chance to go back, right?

When the time comes, Her Royal Highness the Princess can marry whoever she wants, so that neither of them will be delayed.

After figuring this out, Lin Shanjuan no longer felt any burden. He pushed open the door of the hall and saw the person wearing a red veil sitting at the top.

Because it was her fifth marriage, both the ceremony and the process were simplified and not extravagant, otherwise she would not have come here directly to pick someone up.

The body wrapped in the wedding dress was extremely frail. When Lin Shanjuan thought of the eyes on both sides of the road, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

After all, she was only twenty-six years old.

Lin Shanjuan walked up to her and said in a much gentler voice, "I'll carry you for this part of the journey."

Xihe refused: "No need, I will..."

Lin Shanjuan didn't say anything more and just picked her up. It was so light that she didn't have any difficulty holding her in her arms. He responded to her refusal:

"Your Highness, don't let dust get on the soles of your shoes. Do you really think my lessons were in vain?"

Xihe was stunned: "Class?"

Lin Shanjuan had already started walking out, taking steady steps:

"I'll write it down for you when we get back. Let's just call it 'Guidelines for Caring for the Princess'. Then you can check and see if the money you spent on hiring a nanny was worth it."

She was in the mood to joke, but Xihe didn't take it to heart and just smiled in response.

Nanny Chen followed behind the two of them and saw Lin Shanjuan's cautious movements. She understood what was going on and her smile became more sincere.

The two left Jingxu Palace in a chorus of joy. Lin Shanjuan carried Xihe across the yard, his nostrils filled with the fragrance of Xihe.

She couldn't tell what the smell was, but it smelled good. She had been surrounded by it for a long time. When she accidentally looked down and saw Xihe's dependent posture, she felt that the smell was a little more chaotic than yesterday.

Xi and Yi were in her arms, acting like little birds in front of outsiders. They were closer than yesterday, and naturally they did not miss Lin Shanjuanlei's increasingly heavy heartbeat.

She couldn't help but think of how this person completely ignored her charm yesterday and didn't even look at her in order to prove that he was "not weak".

Oh, so you can feel shy too?

She poked Lin Shanjuan's chest and said, "Your Majesty's heart is beating really fast."

Lin Shanjuan subconsciously exerted force with his hands, and his ears felt a little itchy, but he did not deny it: "With this amount of exercise, it's normal to have this kind of heart rate."

The words she spoke were all unfamiliar to Xihe, and coupled with the word "lesson" she had just said, Xihe was puzzled: "What?"

Lin Shanjuan didn't have the patience to explain so much to her at the moment, so he simply changed the subject:

"It means it's time for you to get into the sedan chair."

Xihe was stunned for a second, and the next second, the matchmaker's loud shout rang in his ears: "Get into the sedan chair——"

Arriving so soon?

She noticed Lin Shanjuan's cautious movements, and the next second she was placed steadily in the carriage. The careful posture made her feel like a precious piece of porcelain.

Lin Shanjuan breathed a sigh of relief, took the horse from Bai Shu's hand, and led the wedding procession back to the princess's mansion.

The marriage process was halfway completed. After returning to the princess's mansion, Xihe naturally had to wait in the house for Lin Shanjuan to come back. Although she was a princess, she still had to observe the proper etiquette.

As the son-in-law of the emperor, Lin Shanjuan was pulled from table to table to be toasted. In fact, all the ministers wanted to take this opportunity to test what kind of person Lin Shanjuan was.

Faced with all kinds of glances, Lin Shanjuan couldn't tell who was good and who was bad, so she simply pretended to be stupid, drinking and not talking. If anyone forced her to say something, she would just laugh.

After all this time, even someone as suspicious as Ji Shihan didn't take her seriously.

Qin Wenxiang, the Grand Secretary next to him, whispered, "Why is His Highness Xihe choosing such a poor woman... Is she out of her mind? She chose someone like this, perhaps because she knows she can't defeat the Grand Tutor and is thinking of quitting?"

Ji Shihan snorted coldly, "She wants to find an ordinary citizen to lower the ministers' guard. That way, you will all think she has lost her ambition to be in power, and she can move around in secret more easily."

Qin Wenxiang was shocked: "You actually have such intentions! If it weren't for the Grand Tutor to clear up my doubts, I would have..."

"Oh, there's no need to talk about that." Ji Shihan finished his drink, looked at Lin Shanjuan, and rolled his eyes at her with disdain. "But the man she found is really incompetent."

Lin Shanjuan had long noticed the two old men who were staring at her and whispering to each other. It seemed that they were so fearless that they didn't hide their feelings at all and almost came right up to her to mock her!

"Who are those two people?" she asked Bai Shu.

Following Lin Shanjuan's instructions, Bai Shu was active among the guests from the beginning of the wedding banquet and knew everyone.

"It's Grand Tutor Ji Shihan and Grand Secretary Qin Wenxiang."

Lin Shanjuan nodded: "Keep an eye on them and don't let their people have the chance to run around in the princess's mansion."

Bai Shu nodded in agreement.
