The Killer's Cleansing Manual

When he heard that it was the eldest princess's carriage, the deputy general on horseback on the opposite side quickly dismounted and apologized.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am Li Chou, the deputy general of the General's Mansion! The young general's horse broke free, and I was afraid it would hurt someone, so I caused trouble and bumped into Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will punish me!"

It’s Ye Lang again.

Qi Zhaomian was extremely annoyed. Not only could he not manage people, but he couldn't even manage horses.

"Go home."

She didn't say much, firstly because she didn't want to get entangled. Secondly, there were indeed many eyes watching in the busy city. Now was the time to negotiate with Ji Shihan, and there was no need to make enemies with the General's Mansion.

Seeing that the other party left without any blame, Li Chou felt suspicious and sighed, then led his horse back.

Ye Lang was wandering at the gate of the general's mansion waiting for news. He saw Li Chou coming back with a horse from afar. Just as he was about to meet him, Ye Xi appeared from behind him.

"Brother, can you please ask Li Chou to go outside and ride his horse?"

Ye Lang was startled and quickly grabbed Ye Xi: "How did you know? Does the commander know?"

Ye Xi shook her head: "I went to the backyard to check on the horses, and saw your horse was not there, so I came here. How come you weren't taking your horse for a walk?"

Ye Lang himself had nothing to hide from her. He scratched his face and said, "When Zhao Zhao goes out today, I'll ask Li Chou to ram her car frame. I can use this incident to have a few words with her later."

Ye Xi was shocked after hearing this: "What? Li Chou went to bump into the imperial carriage?! Brother, you know the eldest princess's temper very well. She doesn't want to see you for the good of both of you. Now you ask Li Chou to bump into her in the street, are you crazy?"

Ye Lang pulled her back, and Li Chou happened to walk closer.

"Major General, His Highness didn't say anything. After I introduced myself, he just said 'return home' and left."

Ye Lang was stunned: "She didn't blame me?"

Li Chou shook his head: "...No. Not a single word."

Ye Xi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he pulled Ye Lang behind him and ordered Li Chou, "Take the horse back. If the horse runs out again, everyone will be punished if our commander finds out!"

Li Chou responded and led the horse away. Ye Xi looked at Ye Lang helplessly and pulled him towards his yard.

"come here!"

Ye Lang was pulled into the yard by her and sat down sadly. Ye Xi looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Lang raised his head after a long while, tears welling up in his eyes: "Xi'er, tell me, how can I win her heart back? Otherwise, I will divorce your sister-in-law, and I will tell her..."

"Brother!" Ye Xi stopped him sternly. "Sister-in-law has taken such good care of you over the years. How can you say such things? If you really divorce her, how will you let her live?"

Ye Lang lay on the table: "But Zhaozhao, she doesn't want to be a mistress."

Ye Xi sighed: "Brother, His Highness simply does not want to be involved with you anymore. Why are you deceiving yourself like this?"

Ye Lang stood up suddenly: "How could it be! We have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years! How could she change her mind so easily?"

Ye Xi looked at him and said, "More than ten years is true, but you left her alone in the capital for five years. The extra ten years would have been offset."

Ye Lang didn't like hearing this and stood up stubbornly: "No matter what, she married a female prince consort, which was a signal to me that she would remain a virgin. I have already let her down once, and I will never let her down a second time! She must have something to hide. If she doesn't blame me, isn't it because she can't bear it?"

Ye Xi couldn't think of any way to wake Ye Lang up, nor could she stop him, so she could only watch him leave angrily.

"Alas... But in my opinion, with someone of Lin Shanjuan's character by her side, it's hard for her to be interested in anyone else."

……

On the other side, the carriage entered the princess's mansion. Lin Shanjuan got off first, then raised his arm to help Qi Zhaomian.

But Qi Zhaomian ignored him, helped Xiao'er out of the car, and walked towards Heyang Palace with a sullen face.

Lin Shanjuan touched his nose. Since the other party didn’t say that he could move freely, he had no choice but to follow.

After the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room. Qi Zhaomian sat on a stool, looking at Lin Shanjuan who didn't dare to sit down, and suddenly asked:

"Lin Shanjuan, do you feel that playing with me is unfair to you?"

Lin Shanjuan was stunned and quickly shook his head: "I don't think so."

Qi Zhaomian, however, refused to listen: "I'm afraid you've long regretted agreeing to marry me. If you do, I won't force you to do anything. A divorce will allow both of us to be at ease."

Lin Shan took a step forward anxiously: "I don't regret it. What I just said to the emperor was not all literal."

Qi Zhaomian thought of the "soft" she had mentioned, and his mood became even worse. "What's the point? You have someone else in your heart, so you made it clear with the Emperor and me, hoping to be free so you can be with your beloved?"

What sweetheart? Where did the sweetheart come from? How dare I have a sweetheart when I have a financial sponsor?

Lin Shanjuan was confused and guessed that there might be a misunderstanding, so he quickly bowed down and poured her a cup of tea.

"Don't be angry, just talk slowly. I'm either in charge of the government or you every day, so where does my sweetheart come from?"

Qi Zhaomian didn't buy it. He just glanced at the tea and asked coldly, "No? Then who is Ruanruan?"

Soft?

Lin Shanjuan paused - how could my sponsor know about my big plush pink pig?

Seeing her distracted, Qi Zhaomian thought she was guilty and wanted to kick her out because of annoyance. Lin Shanjuan looked at her blankly:

"Your Highness...are you interested in my pillow?"

Pillow?

Lin Shanjuan continued to explain, "That was the cloth tiger I used to sleep with... I couldn't bring it here, and I really missed it, but I slept soundly next to Your Highness that night. It was so soft... Is there anything wrong?"

A cloth tiger? A child's cloth tiger?

Qi Zhaomian had never expected this result. She had been concerned about it for so long, guessed about it for so long, and searched for so long but could not find any evidence of this person.

There really is no such person. Is he just a cloth tiger?

"I..." She was speechless for a moment.

Lin Shanjuan pushed the teacup forward and said, "I really don't have anyone I love. I've already married you, so how can I be unclear with someone else?"

Qi Zhaomian was very pleased with this sentence, but she was unwilling to admit it and still refused to drink the tea.

"You're not unclear with others, but you're very clear with me."

Lin Shanjuan's eyelids twitched. The topic came back again. She felt very regretful for her reckless speech in Wuying Hall.

It is not too late to mend the dead.

Lin Shanjuan placed his hands on Qi Zhaomian's shoulders and rubbed them: "Those are not my true feelings, they are all lies! Others may believe them, but Your Highness, just listen to them, don't make a fuss with me."

Qi Zhaomian insisted on clarifying the matter: "That morning, you were the one who hugged me and kissed me first. Why did you run away? How do you want to explain this?"

It’s over. Today all the new and old accounts have to be settled.
