The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Qi Zhaomian has been in the study since he returned to the princess's mansion at noon. Lin Shanjuan wanted to coax him, but it was not easy for him to rush in. After thinking about it, he went to the kitchen to get some snacks. When he was heading towards the study, he heard the two maids whispering in the corridor.

"...General Zhennan will be back soon. I heard he'll be arriving in Beijing in a few days!"

"Really? No wonder the princess has been locking herself in the study today."

"Alas, what a pity... If Dayang hadn't invaded, the princess and General Zhennan would have been married long ago."

"Yes, the princess was heartbroken at the time. After being married so many times in a row, I'm afraid General Zhennan can't accept it."

The more Lin Shanjuan listened, the deeper her frown grew, and she deliberately put the snacks down heavily. The two maids were so frightened when they saw that it was her who came that they knelt on the ground and trembled.

"If your mouth is idle, find something to eat instead of gossiping."

The maid was too timid to respond. Lin Shanjuan felt bored watching her, so he put down the cakes and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

If what these two people said was true, Qi Zhaomian must be in a bad mood now. She knew that she was not good at saying nice things to comfort others, so she decided not to put herself in danger.

However, she had never heard of this General Zhennan. The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, so she simply went to ask Bai Shu.

In the study, Qi Zhaomian was still lost in thought as he looked at the secret report in his hand.

[General Ye Lang, the Southern Guardian, will arrive in Beijing three days later.]

These few numbers made Qi Zhaomian hesitate.

The past scenes come to mind vividly: the delicate flowers, the warm spring days, and the bright face of the young man wandering in the sea of ​​flowers.

"Zhaozhao, I have already told my father that I will marry you. He promised me that he would ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow!"

"I……"

"Zhao Zhao, my sincerity towards you is evident to all heaven and earth. Just marry me and let me love and care for you for the rest of my life. I will protect you from all the storms, okay?"

"……it is good."

-

"Your Highness Xihe, the enemy is invading. As the General of Zhennan, it is my duty to repel the enemy and protect the country."

"So...what about marrying me?"

"...I hope Your Highness will prioritize the overall situation and wait until I have defeated the enemy before I come to marry Your Highness."

"……it is good."

-

"General Zhennan and Princess Dayang have formed a friendly alliance, and the war between the two countries has subsided. This is truly a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people!"

-

"Your Highness, there's a reply."

"What the letter says."

"...Your Highness is pure and innocent. I, a mere warrior, feel ashamed of myself. I hope Your Highness will find her soon..."

"No need to read it."

Since you have betrayed me, what else can I say?

In Bai Shu's room, Lin Shanjuan remained silent for a long time after listening to what he had inquired about.

Bai Shu snorted softly and sighed, "That Ye Lang clearly felt that the country was about to collapse, so he fled to the border under the pretext of Dayang's intrusion. He was afraid that the country would be rebelled against and their Ye family would suffer as a result."

Lin Shanjuan grew increasingly irritated as he listened. "So, he first proposed to Qi Zhaomian with great fanfare, then left with great fanfare when Qi Zhaomian encountered misfortune, and then married the Princess of Dayang with great fanfare?"

Bai Shu could hear her anger and quickly restrained her: "Keep your voice down! You can't just call out the princess's name casually! This Ye Lang is really unkind. Oh, I wanted to curse him when I heard it!"

No wonder Qi Zhaomian locked himself in the room. No one would be happy to have such a disgusting ex coming back to meet him soon.

As the sun set, Bai Shu stood up and stretched. "But now that the princess is marrying you, that Ye Lang shouldn't cause any more trouble. It's time for dinner, right? I'm starving."

Xiao'er happened to come to Lin Shanjuan for dinner. She said goodbye to Bai Shu and walked back. As she walked, she remembered the last words Bai Shu said.

She married herself, and this sentence really reminded her.

If Ye Lang really liked her, why would he leave her alone in the vortex of the capital and let her marry other people one after another?

Although Qi Zhaomian was usually moody and always gave Lin Shanjuan the cold shoulder, she was not being unreasonable after all.

Lin Shanjuan was considerate of her. It was normal for people in high positions to have a bit of temper. If she was gentle and easy to control, how could she have made her way out of the thorn bush?

Therefore, she did not take these little tempers to heart. On the contrary, she felt that they were now on the same side and they could be considered friends.

In short, she found a hunchbacked excuse, which was to say that she felt unworthy for her friend.

Such a scumbag has repeatedly pushed Qi Zhaomian to the forefront of public opinion.

Now he has achieved fame and success, and with his lovely wife by his side, he returns home in glory. But Qi Zhaomian, betrayed by him and ridiculed by others, has ruined her own reputation to maintain her political stability.

The people will definitely compare the two again.

If Ye Lang felt even a little guilty towards Qi Zhaomian, he shouldn't have come back and let these old things be brought up again!

Walking into the main hall, a table full of delicious food was waiting for her alone.

Lin Shanjuan subconsciously asked, "Where's the princess?"

Xiao'er looked embarrassed and shook her head: "Your Highness is still in the study. He has a poor appetite, so he won't come to eat."

Too sad to eat?

Lin Shanjuan frowned tightly, and without sitting down, he turned around and went straight to the kitchen to ask for a lunch box, put a few dishes in it, then picked it up and walked towards the study.

Xiao'er had no choice but to follow: "His Highness said that no one is allowed to disturb him, so the Prince Consort should..."

"I'm not a human, I'm a puppy, woof woof."

Xiaoer: ...

She walked at a brisk pace, and soon she reached the study door. She stopped and told Xiao'er, "Just wait for me outside. She might start scolding people, so don't let it get to you."

Xiao'er wanted nothing more than to give Lin Shanjuan a dissuading look. Just as she was about to persuade him again, Lin Shanjuan saw through her intention and interrupted her.

"Wang Wang."

Xiaoer: ...

"Please."

Lin Shanjuan took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.

After a long time, a cold warning sounded in the room: "My words are not for show."

Xiao'er's legs went weak and she fell to her knees. Lin Shan was helpless and simply pushed the door open and walked in: "I insisted on coming here, it has nothing to do with others."

After she finished speaking, she closed the door and sat opposite Qi Zhaomian, putting the lunch box in her hand on the table.

Qi Zhaomian was in a bad mood and looked at her coldly: "I can execute you at any time without any regrets."

She had already told everyone not to disturb her, but this person still came in so boldly. Was it because she had been too nice to him recently, causing him to forget his proper manners?

This aura was truly terrifying. Lin Shanjuan swallowed hard, only now remembering to worry about his life. He showed weakness and said, "You didn't eat much at noon, but you can't just go on a diet at night, right? Going hungry for too long is bad for your stomach. I'm here to call you to eat."

Qi Zhaomian remained unmoved, but he felt the hidden concern in Lin Shanjuan's tone, and his tone also relaxed a lot.

"go out."
