The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

He took a look and saw a few lines of small words where the two halves of the jade pendant joined together. The princess was not wrong.

But these small characters are carved very small and densely, looking like little white ants gathered together. People with poor eyesight may not be able to see clearly.

But Qin Nian saw it clearly.

It says.

"Princess Feng Yanyue of Western Chu, born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the year of the rat, Bingzi, is the person I love most in this life."

'May you be safe, prosperous and happy.'

Two sentences, carved on the two halves of the jade pendant.

The half with the dragon carved on it has Jiujiu's birth date and a confession of love on it, which should be what Dong Buhan wanted to keep for himself.

The remaining half is carved with a phoenix, and the words on it are Dong Buhan's wishes to Jiujiu. Dong Buhan probably wants to give it to Jiujiu for safekeeping.

But I don’t know why I didn’t give it.

After Qin Nian finished reading, he suddenly felt some sympathy for Dong Buhan, and also felt the same way. They were both the ones who were not loved, and the ones they loved loved others.

Unable to get the love they want is their lifelong regret.

"Hey, you've been looking at it for a long time. What did you find out?" Seeing Qin Nian holding the jade pendant motionless, An Zisong began to make trouble. "Don't think that finding out that the jade pendant can be broken in half can change the predetermined outcome."

"I have His Highness's jade pendant, which can represent His Highness. And you are destined to be someone who tries to disrupt the morale of the army. Damn it."

"Damn it."

"Come here, listen to me and take it down."

An Zisong always felt that if he kept Qin Nian, it would continue to ruin his plans, so he wanted to get rid of Qin Nian as soon as possible.

No matter how difficult it is to solve, it must be solved.

Qin Nian said, "Wait a minute." He turned to look at Lieutenant General Gu and Lieutenant General Liu, and threw the jade pendant to them. "Take a look at the words engraved on the part where the jade pendants fit together before you say anything."

"There are more words?" How come he didn't know? An Zisong began to feel uneasy again.

Deputy General Gu and Deputy General Liu carefully took the jade pendant that Qin Nian threw in front of them and began to read it. However, their eyesight was not good and the words were too small for them to see clearly. They found a lens and magnified the words on it, so they could see it clearly.

After reading it, the two looked at each other with resentment in their eyes.

I feel resentful for being cheated again.

The two of them looked at An Zisong and said angrily, "You liar, tell me, where did you get this jade pendant?"

"Where did you get it from? This jade pendant was given to me by His Highness Dong Buhan!" An Zisong said in confusion.

"Haha, our Highness is deeply in love with Princess Xichu, so how could he send troops to attack her motherland and hurt her?"

"We have never heard that he was going to send troops to Xi Chu. But you, as soon as you appeared, instigated the entire Dong Cang to take ruthless action against Xi Chu, and you also used your highness's reputation as a pretext and did not dare to reveal your true identity."

"From this, it can be seen that this jade pendant was not given to you by His Highness at all."

Deputy General Gu was a very smart man. He deduced from the words on the jade pendant that they were being used and also recognized An Zisong's true face.

A person wearing a human skin mask to replace His Highness.

Someone who does not act according to His Highness' wishes.

How could it be possible that His Highness would entrust me to help him conquer Xi Chu?

impossible.

"Your Highness is in love with the Princess of Xichu?" An Zisong was confused. How could he not know that Dong Buhan liked the Princess of Xichu? He said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Did you make a mistake?"

After hearing this, Vice General Gu became more certain of his inference.

This An Zisong doesn't even know about the entanglement between His Highness and Princess Xichu, which shows that he is not familiar with His Highness at all, let alone the matters entrusted to him.

He is the real culprit!

"You are wrong, haha." Deputy General Gu said: "I know your Highness' handwriting. We all understand your Highness's intentions."

"..."

"Come here, catch this liar, take him back, and cut him into pieces." Lieutenant General Liu said angrily.

A group of people stepped forward and captured An Zisong.

An Zisong tried to persuade the two deputy generals to let him go and wanted the Dongcang army to continue to listen to him, but it was no use. The Dongcang army and the two deputy generals all recognized Dong Buhan's face, listened to Dong Buhan's orders, and obeyed Dong Buhan's wishes.

Who does he think An Zisong is?

Don't think that you can fool people and make them work for you just by putting on a human skin mask and getting a jade pendant that you don't even understand.

An Zisong was eventually tied up and taken away.

What awaits him next should be interrogation, followed by being cut into pieces.

The entire Dongcang army did not stay long and withdrew.

Because of insufficient food and fodder.

It’s also because of Dong Buhan’s feelings for Princess Xichu.

But before leaving, Lieutenant Generals Gu and Liu decided to ask Qin Nian to give half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant to Princess Feng Yanyue of Western Chu.

Since Qin Nian stood up to stop them from sending troops to Western Chu, he must be a Western Chu person, working for Western Chu. They felt at ease handing the things over to Qin Nian.

.

After Jiujiu received the half of the jade pendant engraved with "May you be safe, prosperous and happy", her mood was not only heavy but also complicated.

She looked at the jade pendant and pondered for a long time. Finally, she asked Qin Nian to chase the retreating Dongcang army and let them bypass Guanwu Plain and return to Dongcang.

After hearing Jiujiu's decision, Qin Nian said, "Princess, you are brave and resourceful, and you still have an innocent heart and a kind heart. You are worthy of being the princess of Xichu, and you have the generosity of a princess of a country. You are also worthy of being someone Jiaoyan trusts."

Qin Nian still thought that Jiujiu knew that Dongcang had withdrawn its troops because of the jade pendant and her, but she still wanted the Western Chu army to encircle the Dongcang army.

He was originally hesitating whether he should persuade the princess to let Dong Cang go this time, and not to be merciful if they meet him again in the future.

But he didn't speak.

I didn’t expect Jiujiu to say it herself.

Qin Nian was relieved.

"Okay, stop blowing it and go."

"Humans are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless?"

Jiujiu is also a human being, she can feel good and bad, good and evil.

"Yes, Princess." Qin Nian left.

Feng Tianmo looked at the half jade pendant in Jiujiu's hand and said, "Jiujiu, you should put it away quickly, or let your brother keep it for you. You and Dijiang are already discussing marriage, so don't let this half jade pendant create any rift between you."

"What if he doesn't want you anymore?" Feng Tianmo teased.

Jiujiu didn't say it, but she knew in her heart that Brother Dijiang would never abandon her.

After a pause, Feng Tianmo continued, "Or, if Di Jiang suddenly appears and sees you holding this half jade pendant, what will he think? He might misunderstand you and quarrel with you."

Feng Tianmo is a man. From a man's perspective, no one wants the person he likes to be coveted by others, and he certainly doesn't want her to accept other men's things.

"Okay, big brother, Jiujiu got it." Jiujiu said, "Jiujiu will put it away."

Jiujiu sighed and laughed at Feng Tianmo, "Look how scared big brother is. Brother Dijiang is not here, so he won't know. There's no need to worry so much."

"is it?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from not far away.

It’s Dijiang’s voice.

Jiujiu: "..."
