"why?"

Jiang Yuanchen was stunned, looking at Xu Yunjiao with complicated eyes.

In fact, Xu Yunjiao came to him today specifically to cancel the bet so that he could get Hei Chi back.

"Obviously, you really want Hei Chi and want to take the Crown Prince's Consort as your master."

If Xu Yunjiao does this now, isn't that giving up?

"Humph."

Xuyun snorted softly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

He reached into his sleeve, took out a jade pendant, and threw it directly to Jiang Yuanchen.

"then!"

Instead of getting an explanation, I got a jade pendant.

Jiang Yuanchen frowned, with even more confusion on his face.

"What does this mean, Miss Xu?"

The jade pendant that Xu Yunjiao gave him was made of top-grade jade, with a simple shape and a lifelike swan carved on it.

Worth a fortune.

Xu Yunjiao folded her hands across her chest, the faint smile on her face had disappeared, and instead she looked much more solemn.

"Jiang Yuanchen, my grandfather never accepted a disciple. Although you were promised by your grandfather, you won't know the truth until you get to Xijiang."

Even though she believed in her grandfather's character, it was really bizarre that Jiang Yuanchen was accepted as his disciple.

"This jade pendant was left to me by my grandfather before he left Kyoto. If you carry it with you, it may be of some use to you."

Even if he failed to become his disciple in the end, his grandfather would not make things too difficult for him for the sake of the jade pendant.

At least, it can ensure that he survives.

Jiang Yuanchen shook his head and said, "No merit, no reward. Please take back the jade pendant, Miss Xu."

If my guess is correct, it was Prince Yong's idea for General Fuguo to take him in as his disciple.

Moreover, General Fuguo is a man of his word, so there shouldn't be any major changes in accepting him as his disciple.

Even if there are disadvantages to going to Western Xinjiang, he might find it a disaster rather than a blessing in disguise for holding Xu Yunjiao's jade pendant.

"Why not?"

Xu Yunjiao was unhappy and she frowned.

He questioned, "You took the sachet that Chu Mingzhao gave you, but you didn't want the jade pendant I gave you!"

It was obvious that the thing she gave to Jiang Yuanchen could save his life at a critical moment, but this fool Jiang Yuanchen refused to accept it!

Others want it but don’t have the chance!

Jiang Yuanchen was silent for a moment, then whispered, "You are different."

Xu Yunjiao raised her chin and said, "I don't care, you have to take it!"

After saying this, without giving Jiang Yuanchen a chance to refuse, she turned around and walked out first.

Against the light of the setting sun, the evening breeze blew up the red headband with gold patterns.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to see the Crown Prince's Consort."

Jiang Yuanchen gritted his teeth. Xu Yunjiao was so overbearing and unreasonable.

The hand holding the jade pendant felt hot, and the jade pendant could not be taken away.

But, unfortunately, he was unable to successfully return the jade pendant until June 30th when he left Kyoto.

After leaving the competition stage, it was getting late, but there was still plenty of time to go see Jiang Li.

Especially since Jiang Yuanchen wanted to become a disciple of General Fuguo, he had to consider the Buddha's favor instead of the monk's.

Xu Yunjiao and Jiang Yuanchen arrived at the East Courtyard, met Jiang Li directly, and also had a dinner.

In the blink of an eye, it was June 30th, and Jiang Li personally escorted Jiang Yuanchen out of the city.

The ten-mile long pavilion, willow trees shrouded in smoke.

Jiang Yuanchen bowed to Jiang Li solemnly and said, "I will always remember your care for you over the past few months. Now I am far away from the capital and cannot repay you. I hope you take care of yourself and get what you want."

Jiang Li personally broke off a willow branch and placed it in Jiang Yuanchen's hand. "Young man, you have the ambition to conquer the world. Let's meet again in the future. Yuanchen, take care on your journey."

Jiang Yuanchen took the willow branch and bowed solemnly once again.

He turned around and returned to the convoy of the General's Mansion, heading west until he could no longer see the shadow of Kyoto.

From now on, the road is long, and the blue bird is my guide.

Just wait until the flowers on the roadside bloom, then it will be time to return.

Outside the long pavilion, on the hill.

Chu Mingzhao watched the carriage of the General Fuguo's Mansion go away, then turned to look at Chu Ninghan.

The wind was strong on the hill, and Chu Ninghan's clothes were rustling, and the long scarf covering his eyes was fluttering in the wind.

Thinking about the fact that Chu Ninghan had been taking medicine and his old injuries had not healed, he shouldn't have been traveling around.

Chu Mingzhao suddenly felt guilty, "Father, let's go back."

She insisted on coming today to see Jiang Yuanchen off. Chu Ninghan couldn't persuade her, but he was worried about her coming alone, so he had to accompany her.

Chu Ninghan chuckled and raised his hand to rub the top of Chu Mingzhao's head, "Okay."

The father and daughter returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, and several pieces of news were delivered to them in the medicine cabinet.

"Master, the four people on the right of Jia have also successfully followed Master Yuanchen. Report back every half a month."

Chu Ninghan nodded.

Although Jiang Li had made all the necessary preparations for Jiang Yuanchen, Western Xinjiang was ultimately beyond his reach.

He still needs personal guards to protect him secretly, and Jiang Yuanchen must not make any mistakes.

The secret guard said again: "Marquis Yongning's mansion has found Marquis Yongning, and he will be returning to the capital soon."

Then he handed over the carbon copy of the letter.

"Does Jiang Li know?"

"The letter was sent to the Marquis' Mansion by Xie Jun's men while the Crown Princess was out of town, so the Crown Princess also learned about it."

Jiang Li and Prince Yong's Mansion returned to Beijing one after another, and only just now did they receive the news.

Chu Ninghan read the letter and looked gloomy.

The letter only said that Marquis Yongning was returning to the capital and would arrive in about half a month. There was no other news.

It is unclear what Marquis Yongning's attitude is towards Xie Jun and Xie Yan, and it is even more unknown whether Marquis Yongning will take action against Jiang Li.

The safest plan for now is to hold the wedding of Xie Jun and Xie Yan before Yongning Marquis returns home.

By that time, the matter was already done and the reputation of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion had been smashed. No matter how capable the Yongning Marquis was, it would be of no avail. He could not save Xie Jun or protect Xie Yan.

However, the wedding date has already been set and can hardly be changed.

"Send the news that Yongning Hou wants to return to the capital to stop Xie Jun and Xie Yan to the palace. Make sure Xie Yan knows it."

The same message was sent from the East Courtyard of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Jiang Li looked at the letter from the Yongning Marquis with a cold expression.

Marquis Yongning did feel guilty about the way he treated her in his previous life, and he gave her the golden order.

However, he is the Marquis of Yongning, and with the name "Yongning" in his name, he will not let her destroy the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion.

He will definitely stop this wedding.

But she is not the only one who doesn't want her wedding to be ruined. Xiao Yan is looking forward to the wedding more than anyone else.

When Xiao Yan learns of this, she will try every means to stop Marquis Yongning from returning to Beijing.

Recalling Plum Palace.

"What! Marquis Yongning is going back to the capital!"

Xiao Yan's face was horrified. Although the scar on her face had faded a little, the mark was still visible, and it looked even more hideous and terrifying.

She grabbed the maid's hair and shouted, "Say it again, who is coming back! Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?"

"I dare not lie."

The maid's face turned pale and her scalp hurt from being pulled, but she didn't dare to hide.

She never expected that Xiao Yan would be angry when she heard the news.

Marquis Yongning has been a monk for many years, and it is a good thing that he can come back.

"Please calm down, County Lady. It's a good thing that Marquis Yongning has returned to the capital. He must be here to attend your wedding with the Crown Prince!"

Xiao Yan became more and more angry, and raised her hand to slap the maid in the face.

"shut up!"
