Now, there will be a good show to watch_1 “The three commanders have made great contributions, and if you want Spirit Pills, you can have them anytime.”
Lin Qingluo spoke with a warm and gentle smile, then threw out three small white jade vials with a wave of her hand.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gracious gift.”
The three commanders were overjoyed, receiving the white jade vials and expressing their gratitude with deep bows.
“Sister, what do you think of this idea?”
Lin Jinyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his eyes filled with joy: “The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and it's the perfect time to employ talented people. Your medical skills are unrivaled, Sister, and you're adept at pill refining, so why not use Spirit Pills as bait to attract talents from all over the world to serve the court?”
“We can also use them as rewards.”
Xu Ruyun's heartbeat quickened, and she couldn't help but feel excited: “Rewards for meritorious officials and soldiers protecting the border.”
“That's a good idea.”
Mu Fangyun was inexplicably thrilled, her heart filled with approval.
Xiao Wei, whose mind was delicate, pondered the feasibility and gave her suggestion: “The Spirit Pills can be divided into different levels, and depending on the annual assessment results of officials, they can be ranked and rewarded with different levels of the Spirit Pills.”
“The same applies to the soldiers guarding the border.”
Lin Jinyun, who was deeply concerned about the Lin Clan's military forces, had the well-being of his former comrades in mind: “Rewards should be based on military merit, thus stabilizing the morale of the military and rewarding loyal and devoted soldiers.”
“Fourth Brother is right.”
Lin Qingluo had no objections, and wholeheartedly supported the idea: “The three commanders will be in charge of this matter. Based on your ideas, draft a reasonable plan and implement it accordingly.”
“Yes.”
The three commanders' faces lit up with joy as they bowed in acceptance of the mission.
“Fourth Brother.”
After some deliberation, Lin Qingluo decided to tell Lin Jinyun the truth about the memories she had searched from the assassins' minds, sending him a telepathic message: “The four assassins kidnapped the princess from the posthouse and hid her in a cave, but did not harm her in any way.”
Lin Jinyun's handsome face darkened, and his right fist clenched tightly, his veins bulging slightly.
The three commanders noticed the change in his expression and exchanged glances.
“Those who abducted her deserve to die.”
Lin Jinyun's eyes were filled with coldness as he threw out a dagger, striking the heart of the assassin.
The assassin convulsed violently for a few times before finally becoming silent.
“Hehe, it seems that Master's Fourth Brother cares a lot about the Princess of Xijin. Now, there's going to be an interesting show.”
Little Kingfisher, hiding in the shadows, happily watched everything unfold. At this moment, the bird's eyes twirled, and it flapped its little wings, flying towards the posthouse.

Posthouse.
Ming Xiang stumbled into Xuanyuan Li's guest room, crying out loud: “Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please go and see. The Princess heard that the Duke of Zhen is hosting a Flower Appreciation Banquet to select consorts for the Regent, and in a moment of desperation, she was considering suicide by slitting her wrist.”
“What?”
Xuanyuan Li jumped up from his chair, rushing into his sister's room in a panic.
Xuanyuan Qing was devastated, lying on her dressing table, crying with swollen eyes, her breath uneven. There was a shallow cut on her snow-white wrist, oozing beads of blood.
“Qing'er, what are you doing?”
Xuanyuan Li was both distressed and anxious, his voice raising by several octaves: “Your Imperial Brother has been racking his brain to help you, but you don't even know how to cherish yourself.”
“Imperial Brother, my heart hurts so much.”
Xuanyuan Qing suddenly clutched her chest in unbearable pain, her breathing rapid, and her lips pale.
“Qing'er, what's wrong with you?”
Xuanyuan Li was frightened to his very core, unable to scold her anymore, and shouted, “Summon the Imperial Physician!”
“Your Highness, the Imperial Physician didn't accompany our entourage to Fengqi.”
An attendant wiped cold sweat from the back of his neck and explained nervously.
“You useless fool, can't you see that the princess is in such distress?”
Xuanyuan Li angrily kicked the attendant, his temper snapping: “Without the Imperial Physician, won't you go to Fengqi Palace to get help? Do you need this Crown Prince to kick you before your head clears up?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The attendant quickly realized the urgency and, fearing another kick from the Crown Prince, hurriedly rolled away to get help.
