The Killer's Cleansing Manual

She, a bystander, was angry. As the person involved, Lin Shanjuan should have felt aggrieved as well. But judging from her demeanor when she said goodbye, it seemed that she didn't mind at all.

Lin Shanjuan shook his head. "Ye Xi is far stronger than her brother. She is resourceful, magnanimous, and highly skilled in martial arts. Such a talent shouldn't be held back just because she has a weak older brother."

The Ye family has been back in Beijing for so long, and Ye Lang has caused unrest in his own home. He is clearly a bigger idiot.

As for Ye Xi, she recovered military supplies, rectified military discipline, and went to the parade ground for inspection every day. She was qualified to be a general and a commander.

If General Ye insists on handing over the burden of the family to Ye Lang, the general's mansion's years of accumulation will be squandered.

But it would be completely different if it was handed over to Ye Xi. She believed that General Ye would make the right decision. Even if he was old and confused, she would find a way to win over Ye Xi, such a talent, to Qi Zhaomian's camp.

It is not easy to fulfill the wish of purging the court. Since what I can do is limited, I can only take it step by step.

If she could defeat one more of Ji Shihan's pawns and win over one more person with unfulfilled ambitions, she could ease the burden on her financial sponsor.

After hearing these words, Yue Liu suddenly understood and his admiration for Lin Shanjuan reached a new level.

Who would have thought that although she usually looked idle and careless, she was actually the one who cared the most about her master's affairs.

This!

If this isn’t true love, what is?

Xiao'er was right. The Prince Consort and His Highness are absolutely a match made in heaven! From now on, no one will dare to separate them!

There were very few shops open at the end of the year, let alone pharmacies, so Yue Liu waited until he reached the princess's mansion, jumped off the carriage in an instant, and headed straight into the courtyard.

"Please ask the court doctor to come."

The servant was stunned, especially as Yue Liu had just finished speaking when Lin Shanjuan got off the carriage holding his blood-stained arm.

Oh my goodness, weren't they heading to the General's Mansion? How come they seemed to have run into bandits along the way and didn't even bring the carriage back?

Lin Shanjuan was quite helpless. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Yue Liu's care for her seemed to have suddenly been upgraded to a higher level.

In the past, the Moon Pavilion Leader would not have cared so much about her injuries.

This little noise soon spread by word of mouth to Xue Ying, who had been staying in the mansion for many days. Since the case was solved, no one came to look for her, perhaps because she had a low sense of presence or because others had forgotten her.

As she wished, she wandered around the mansion for several days. When she went out today, she heard two maids talking about Lin Shanjuan "coming back from a trip covered in blood."

Covered in blood?

She was shocked and immediately ran to the court doctor with a look of concern on her face.

Xiao'er was helping Qi Zhaomian with his writing. As the sun was almost at its zenith, she couldn't help but ask whether the prince consort had returned so that she could decide when to serve the meal.

As soon as he went out, the rumor that "the prince consort met his enemies in the capital and was covered in blood" became known to everyone.

Xiao'er was so frightened that she turned back quickly: "Your Highness! People outside are saying that the prince consort met an enemy and was injured and covered in blood!"

Qi Zhaomian's hand trembled and the tip of the pen split.

Yue Liu went with her to visit Ye Xi. What kind of enemy could hack Lin Shanjuan to a bloody mess in front of Ye Xi?

Although I guessed that this statement was exaggerated, I couldn't suppress my worry.

She put down her pen: "Where is she?"

Xiao'er looked outside: "Maybe he is with the palace doctor."

Qi Zhaomian had already walked to the door, and upon hearing the words, he went straight to the court doctor's yard.

When Xue Ying arrived, Lin Shanjuan was bandaging the wound and was almost finished. She only had time to see the torn and blood-stained clothes on the ground, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Sir! How did you get so badly injured?"

The sudden cry of grief made Lin Shanjuan feel like she had been gone for a while. She even almost forgot who Xue Ying was. She only remembered after looking at her for a while.

"Why are you still in the house?"

Xue Ying was halfway through playing the emotional card when she was almost suffocated by this sentence. She paused for a second and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Seeing you injured, I feel deeply sorry."

奴？

Whose slave is she? Did Qi Zhaomian take her in as a maid? I haven't heard of it.

Lin Shanjuan looked confused, while Yue Liu narrowed his eyes with a very unfriendly expression.

Xue Ying came fully prepared and took two steps forward, eyes full of pity: "Sir, I have learned some medical skills since I was young. From now on, you can ask me to take care of your injuries. This will be a way to repay your kindness in saving me."

Lin Shanjuan finally understood what she meant and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you going home yet? Your parents must have been worried about you for a long time."

Xue Ying was stunned. She had indeed come here for the Wu Yanzhen case, but now that so much time had passed, her purpose had long since changed. As for what it had become...

She shook her head and said, "I am concerned about your health, and it is difficult for me to leave at ease. I hope you can let me stay for a while longer. When you are well, I will leave!"

She shook her head and shed tears, her eyes full of earnestness. Lin Shanjuan was about to refuse, but Qi Zhaomian's voice reached everyone's ears first.

"Since you have this intention, please stay and serve me."

Everyone in the room knelt down, and when the person in the black and gold skirt stepped into the room, no one dared to look up.

Qi Zhaomian's gaze first fell on Lin Shanjuan, and the next second he frowned -

Although he was not as exaggerated as the servants said, "covered in blood", the pale lips and the blood-stained cloth on the ground still made her feel heartbroken.

Qi Zhaomian retracted his gaze, glanced at Xue Ying who was pretending to be respectful, and said in a very bad tone: "You can't even do such a small thing, are you a waste?"

Yue Liu was startled, and subconsciously looked at Qi Zhaomian, then at Lin Shanjuan. He was just hesitating whether to say a few good words for Lin Shanjuan, when Qi Zhaomian said again:

"It would be fine if you caused trouble at any other time, but today, even returning a gift caused such a big incident. If people knew that you came back like this after visiting the General's Mansion, wouldn't that give them another reason to alienate me from the General's Mansion?"

Her eyes were gloomy, but Lin Shanjuan did not miss her initial look towards Xue Ying. He felt something in his heart, curled his lips, and apologized in a humble manner.

"Your Highness is right. It is my incompetence."

Qi Zhaomian curled his fingertips slightly, realizing that he could no longer say anything harsher.

"Go back to your room!"

Lin Shanjuan stood up obediently. The court doctor was still tying the silk knot for her, but she held it with one hand and tied it herself as she walked.

Xue Ying secretly looked up, and Qi Zhaomian saw her movements clearly: "Didn't you say you know a little bit about medicine? Why don't you follow and serve?"

Xue Ying was shocked and overjoyed. She quickly stood up and followed.
