In the Kyoto Posthouse, Jiang Quhan urged Sikong Langtuo and the others to return to Qian Ye Country as soon as possible.

Sikong Langtuo was reluctant to leave at first and wanted to stay for a while longer.

Jiang Quhan warned him that if he dared to collude with Huo Yunhong again, or had any ill thoughts about Ning Ziqing, he would no longer be able to be the crown prince, and his life would be at risk.

The two got into an argument and almost got into a fight.

Fortunately, Mongna intervened in time.

With his persuasion, Jiang Quhan managed to calm down his anger.

Sikong Langtuo was afraid that Jiang Quhan would kill him, so he could only choose to surrender temporarily.

After sending Jiang Quhan away, Sikong Langtuo said bitterly: "When I return to Tiandu, I will definitely play Sikong Xu to my father and punish him for the crime of disrespect!"

Monaghan shook his head helplessly.

"Your Highness, why do you need to humiliate yourself? You clearly know what an arrogant and arrogant King Qian is. He doesn't care at all about any punishment His Majesty imposes on him!"

Sikong Langtuo retorted angrily: "Isn't he even afraid of the death penalty?"

Monaghan sighed, with a look of fear on his face.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten how he was so important to His Majesty back then?"

Sikong Langtuo was stunned!

Monaghan's thoughts drifted away.

He clearly remembered how Jiang Quhan, who was only ten years old that year, calmly poisoned dozens of palace guards at the birthday party of a beloved concubine.

When the Praetorian Guards came to arrest him, he was still sitting in his seat, drinking wine without changing his expression.

Sikong Po asked him why he wanted to poison.

Jiang Quhan said coldly.

"Those who bully me or insult me ​​will be sent to hell with my own hands!"

"If your majesty can tolerate me, I am willing to be the most poisonous and sharpest knife in your majesty's hand and remove all obstacles for you!"

……

On that day, the beloved concubine was so frightened that she had a miscarriage, and was later thrown into the cold palace by Sikong Po.

All the palace officials who had bullied Jiang Quhan were executed!

Jiang Quhan not only left the palace unharmed, but was also given the imperial surname by Sikong Po and officially included in the royal family tree.

On the small road beside the official road in the suburbs of Beijing.

Su Yanqi came to see off Shang Shen and other envoys from Beiluo Kingdom.

After saying goodbye, Shang Shen and the others bowed to Su Yanqi and said goodbye.

"Mr. Chang Xuan, we have to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again. I hope you will cherish it!"

Su Yanqi signaled that they would not be polite and warned them again: "Master Shang, please be sure to introduce Mr. Mu to the king of the country and let him diagnose and treat the king of the country. His medical skills may be able to extend the life of the king of the country."

The business counselor respectfully agreed and led the envoys to leave.

Before leaving, he walked up to Yan Si and persuaded her: "Miss Yan Er, General Yan Huan has not seen you for several years and misses you very much. Why don't you go back with us?"

Yan Si clasped her fists and politely declined: "Thank you Lord Shang for your kindness, but my duty is to protect the Lord, and I cannot leave my post without permission!"

"I have sister Yankui taking care of everything at home, so I feel relieved."

Hearing this, Shangshen said nothing more.

He took a deep look at Su Yanqi and solemnly told Yan Si: "The young master's marriage is of great importance. This is no longer a matter for him alone, but for the relations between the three countries. People with malicious intentions have begun to plot to sabotage it. You must do it. Approach with caution.”

Yan Si said seriously: "The Lord has made his own decision on this matter, and we have no right to interfere."

Ginseng sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Su Yanqi stood there and watched them leave.

The carriage started slowly, and Mu Chenhe stuck his head out and waved goodbye to Su Yanqi.

"Boy, wait until I cure your king and come back to drink the wedding wine of you and that little girl!"

Su Yanqi pursed her lips and smiled, waving her hand to him.

At night, Jiang Quhan finished his meal in Sikong Yin's room, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and sat on the window sill with one leg hanging to admire the moon.

Sikong Yin put down the jade chopsticks and asked in a deep voice: "Axu, what are you thinking about? You are obviously targeting Huo Yunhong by promoting that little legitimate daughter, and I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people in the court."

Jiang Quhan shook his folding fan, took a sip of wine, and said nonchalantly: "Then I want Huo Yunhong to die, what can they do to me?"

Si Kongyin's face darkened and he reminded him: "Your Majesty is still in office, and if you don't take him seriously, it will ruin his career. If he blames you..."

"Then kill him!"

Jiang Qu interrupted Si Kong Yin coldly.

"Old man, I don't want to wait any longer. I have endured enough for so many years. It's time for Sikong Po to settle the debt between my mother and the Yijiang tribe!"

"If you are not interested in that position, I don't mind letting Sikong Langtuo be a puppet emperor!"

Silence fell in the room.

Si Kongyin lightly touched the table with his fingers and picked up the jade chopsticks to eat again.

"This matter needs to be carefully considered. You must not act impulsively. Since you are so concerned about the little legitimate daughter, I can leave Nanyao Kingdom's affairs alone for the time being."

"It's just that the chess piece of Yueyao Kingdom must be put to its best use. If you want to promote the fourth prince to the throne, I have no objection, but he must fight for it on his own ability. You are not allowed to help him!"

Jiang Quhan jumped off the window sill angrily, strode up to Si Kongyin, and argued dissatisfiedly: "I didn't help Huo Yunjue, it was the Wu clan's grandsons who bullied me too much! You still don't allow me to express my anger, it's really unacceptable!"

Si Kongyin ignored his protest, slowly picked up a piece of fish meat, and said meaningfully: "Look, only the fish on the chopping board can be slaughtered by others. If it is a smart fish, how can it be caught so easily?"

Jiang Quhan laughed at him: "When did you become interested in fish?"

The female guard leaning on the side interrupted: "The prince now goes fishing every day with a few friends who like fishing."

Jiang Quhan rolled his eyes: "Old man, what can't you learn at such a young age? Learn from Jiang Taigong's method of fishing, and if you are willing to take the bait, you'd better go back to heaven!"

Si Kongyin shook his head and asked him: "Axu, do you really think the fourth prince can win the position of the East Palace?"

Jiang Quhan was stunned and looked at Si Kongyin suspiciously.

"Old man, what do you mean?"

Si Kongyin smiled lightly, twirling the white jade finger on his thumb, and said with a hint of threat: "Just protect your little legitimate daughter, and don't interfere in other matters. Otherwise, you know my king's methods." .”

A dark color flashed in Jiang Quhan's eyes, he held the folding fan tightly and stared at Si Kong Yin for a moment.

He sneered lightly and compromised: "Old man, I can promise you not to leave Yueyao Country for the time being, but you can't interfere in the affairs between me and A Zhao!"

Sikong Yin was silent and nodded in agreement: "I understand that you want to make up for your master's debt to the Fu family and Fu Jinye. As long as it does not involve too big a state matter, you can pamper her however you want."

Jiang Quhan's face relaxed, he bowed to him, turned around and left.

Sikong Yin looked at his leaving figure and ordered the female guard: "Make some congratulatory gifts for me. I will visit an old friend in a while."

The female guard clasped her fists in response, and then said: "My subordinates have already completed the matters that the prince has told me before. But if the young prince knows that you are doing this, I am afraid that he will come to make trouble with you."

Sikong Yin's eyes deepened, and he said with a faint smile: "The king only allows him to repay his kindness to his master, and he is not allowed to do anything else for other reasons!"

The following days.

Everything is calm in Kyoto.

All forces are standing still.

The courtiers did not urge Emperor Yao to choose a new prince.

It seems calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. It just depends on who can persist to the end.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day of October, and there were still three days left before Ning Zijun's wedding day.

This day happens to be Fu Jinye's death anniversary.

In order to pay homage to his mother, Ning Zijun specially took leave and returned to the Houfu from the northern suburbs camp.

Mrs. Song also changed from her previous depressed state and personally took care of the day's worship services.

When Ning Zijun returned to the house, he did not see Ning Ziqing or anyone from the Fu family.

Wen Nian explained the reason to him.

It turned out that Mr. Fu thought that today was also Ning Ziqing's birthday, so he decided to hold a birthday party for her at Fu's house.

Wen Nian came back specifically to invite them to attend Ning Ziqing's birthday party.

After Ning Houye mourned his deceased wife, he seemed extremely sad, so he declined: "We will not go to Fu's house. Zijun, I will convey my thoughts to your grandfather and sister on behalf of my father. Because my father missed your mother too much, he was in poor health. They feel a little uncomfortable and don’t want to spoil their interest.”

Ning Zijun wanted to persuade him to change his mind: "But today my grandfather specially wants to celebrate Qingqing's birthday. If my father is absent, I'm afraid my grandfather will be unhappy!"

Lord Ning waved his hand and urged him to set off.

"Go ahead, they love your sister very much, and I miss your mother deeply. I believe your grandfather can understand my feelings."

Ning Zijun didn't want the relationship between Ning Houye and Mr. Fu to become tense, and wanted to persuade him again.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Ning quickly stepped forward to stop Ning Zijun.

"Zijun, go to Fu's house quickly and explain it to your grandfather and uncle. Your father has a deep love for your mother. Don't make it too difficult for him today."

Ning Zijun had no choice but to give up and go to Fu Mansion alone.

And Ning Ziqing didn't know that her birthday was coming until last night.

When Mr. Fu asked her how she wanted to celebrate, she was stunned.

Because as long as she could remember, she only knew about the death anniversary of her mother-in-law, but no one had ever celebrated her birthday.

Early in the morning, the servants decorated Fu's mansion with lights and colorful decorations, making it a joyful scene.

After Ning Ziqing woke up, she called Yinxiang to wash and dress her up.

Yinxiang gave her a simple bun and put on a fresh and elegant dress.

Later, Ning Ziqing followed Mr. Fu and the others to the ancestral hall to worship Fu Jinye.

After everyone offered incense one by one, Ning Ziqing began to burn paper money.

At this time, Jiang Quhan led Su Yanqi in.

Ning Ziqing saw Su Yanqi and asked in surprise: "Qi Langjun, why are you here?"

Her eyes unconsciously fell on the jade pendant around Su Yanqi's waist.

Mr. Fu explained: "I invited him here."

He picked up a lit incense stick, walked up to Su Yanqi and handed it to him.

"He is your future husband. It is only natural that he comes to pay homage to your mother-in-law and celebrate your birthday today."

Ning Ziqing twitched the corner of her mouth and stood up awkwardly: "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Mr. Fu signaled Su Yanqi to burn incense and said seriously, "What's there to say? I'm going to ask my grandson-in-law to come. Do I need your permission?"

Ning Ziqing choked and looked at Jiang Quhan for help.

Jiang Quhan pretended not to see it, and said with a secret smile: "Old man, look, how about we decide on their wedding date today. After Zijun's wedding is over, we will hurry up and arrange it for them. Save me from having to make another trip.”

Mr. Fu stroked his beard, nodded in agreement, and turned to fetch incense for him.

Ning Ziqing was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Jiang Quhan.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

Jiang Quhan shrugged proudly.

After Su Yanqi finished applying the incense, he stepped aside and reminded him softly: "Stop making trouble!"

Then he turned to Ning Ziqing and comforted him: "Qingqing, don't worry, I will explain it clearly to the old man."

Ning Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Su Yanqi very much: "Thank you, Qi Langjun."

Su Yanqi smiled at her, took out an exquisite jewelry box and handed it to her.

"This is my birthday gift to you, see if you like it."

Ning Ziqing took the box and was about to open the lid when he caught a glimpse of the unique jade pendant on Su Yanqi's waist.

The patterns of exotic animals carved on it seemed familiar.

It was like the one I saw him holding in my dream that day.

Ning Ziqing asked curiously: "Qi Langjun, this jade pendant of yours is so special. Why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"

Su Yanqi was slightly startled and explained: "Someone gave this to me. I had to go out in a hurry today, so I casually wore this."

Ning Ziqing looked back, seeming to understand something.

In her dream that day, she saw the word "my wife" engraved on the tombstone.

Could that be the tomb of Su Yanqi’s wife from his previous life?

In her previous life, she died too early and didn't know Su Yanqi's final outcome.

But it can be seen from the dream that he deeply loves that woman.

Ning Ziqing was secretly glad and hoped that the woman would fall in love with Su Yanqi soon.

This way he can let go of his worries about himself.
