Xie Yuantang and Situ Feng were chatting under the shade of a tree. In the house, Bai Lang was being interrogated by Situ Xu.

"What the hell is going on here? Are you planning to just walk away? What about the 'dog owner'? I invested so much money!"

Bai Lang leaned back in his chair, watching him jump up and down in anger, and said with a smile: "Liu, you just said so much, but to me it was just one sentence."

Situ Xu frowned: "What?"

Bai Lang blinked and pinched his throat to imitate him: "Don't leave, what will I do if you leave!"

Situ Xu: “…”

He glared at Bai Lang gloomily, then turned and walked out: "Forget it, I'd better go talk to Xie Yuantang."

He can't speak the same language with this dog!

Bai Lang smiled and said, "That's really funny. Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything."

Situ Xu stopped and turned around, but did not sit down.

Bai Lang shook his head, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, then pushed it to the opposite side: "Sit down."

"Hmph~" Situ Xu snorted arrogantly, and sat down reluctantly with a cold face.

Bai Lang stopped smiling and said seriously, "We don't want to leave either, but Xie Yuantang has to go. You saw it just now. Her complexion is getting worse and worse, and she doesn't have the energy to run or jump. Situ Yan has been watching her closely these days. She is busy for two hours every day, and she spends most of the rest of the time sleeping. If this continues, maybe one day she will fall asleep and won't wake up. We have to get to Cangque before that day comes."

Situ Xu frowned and pursed his lips and said, "Why is it so serious? She..."

Halfway through the question, he looked at Bai Lang, sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Just go, as long as you can get cured."

It’s not that he didn’t worry about Xie Yuantang, but he also had to consider what might happen to the people left behind once they left.

Bai Lang knew his worries and said frankly, "We will make some arrangements before we leave. I will give you something in two days. For the time being, you will have to rely on me to raise the dog. I will prepare the people for you. You can ask Jin Baisui to do some trivial work, but don't let him know too much."

"I will come back after Xie Yuantang's condition stabilizes. Then you won't have to work so hard."

Situ Xu paused and asked in a deep voice: "The people you said you would hand over to me, could it be Zero and the others?"

Bai Lang nodded: "This is also one of the arrangements that have to be made. I have to leave something for you, otherwise if you keep leaving the palace frequently, Situ Mo will find out sooner or later."

He took Situ Xu's money and tricked him into joining their boat. He couldn't just walk away without taking any responsibility, leaving Situ Xu to go back to the days of being threatened by Situ Mo.

Situ Xu asked again: "Did you arrange this, or did Fifth Brother and Xie Yuantang know about it?"

"Of course I know."

Bai Lang yawned again. He was exhausted. "Don't worry. With Situ Yan being such a cunning man, nothing will go wrong as long as Situ Mo doesn't force him to abdicate."

Situ Xu's mouth twitched slightly: "I really want to borrow your good words."

But he felt that Situ Mo was not enough to force the emperor to abdicate. Situ Mo was cunning and cruel by nature, but he cared a lot about superficial efforts. He wanted not only the throne, but also the right to take that position legitimately.

The two focused on the career planning of "raising dogs". Bai Lang talked in more detail about which tasks could be assigned to Jin Baisui and which ones should be managed by Situ Xu.

As Situ Xu listened, he realized that Bai Lang had plans for him, and his anger disappeared.

The brother and sister stayed in the Fifth Prince's Mansion for dinner before leaving.

On the way back to the palace, seeing Situ Feng's happy face, Situ Xu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Sister, why are you still smiling? Didn't Xie Yuantang say anything to you?"

Situ Feng asked doubtfully, "You said a lot, but that's just between us best friends, Xu'er, don't ask around."

Situ Xu: “…”

Only then did he realize that Xie Yuantang had never told Situ Feng that she was leaving.

Situ Xu opened his mouth but didn't tell her in the end.

There are still a few days until Situ Ran and Jasmine's wedding, so let Situ Feng be happy for a while and tell her after the wedding.

-

The days that followed passed quickly.

Xie Yuantang stayed in the mansion most of the time, occasionally going to the Leng family, the Yan family, and meeting Pei Weizhan.

Apart from her, Situ Yan and Bai Lang were very busy, preparing to leave Beijing and counting the medicines in the laboratory.

As a result, the people in the Fifth Prince's Mansion also stopped their usual laughter and became busy.

The day of departure is getting closer day by day.

Finally, the day of Situ Ran and Moli's wedding arrived.

Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan first went to Yifeng Pavilion, and after talking to Wu Chen, they went to the palace.

Soon, Princess Jasmine appeared in red clothing. Her wedding dress was custom-made according to Xuan Zhao's specifications, but the veil on her head was made according to Cang Que's preferences. The tasseled red gauze hung down, barely visible.

It is difficult to see the bride's true appearance behind the tassels, but when the tassels sway, one will always be suddenly struck by her androgynous beauty.

Situ Ran had a decent smile on his face, but he was stunned for a moment when he needed to hold the red silk.

His eyes swept across the slender fingers at the other end of the red silk, Situ Ran pursed his lips, and then put on the mask of smile again.

Their wedding was held in a hurry, and to make up for it, Situ Qing made it very grand.

So even though Situ Ran was only the second prince and had not yet been named the crown prince, the ceremony was performed according to the etiquette of the crown prince marrying the crown princess.

This move completely silenced those ministers who had something to hide.

Everyone can see clearly that in the emperor's mind, at least for now, the best candidate for crown prince is still the second prince Situ Ran.

The etiquette was very complicated. By the time they came out of the palace, walked around the long street, and finally returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, it was already getting dark.

A banquet was set up in the front yard of the mansion, with ministers and female relatives sitting at separate tables. Another large table was set up in a pavilion some distance away.

That was set up by Situ Ran for his brothers and sisters.

When he arrived, there was a cool breeze and the red lanterns on both sides illuminated the entire pavilion.

Xie Yuantang was sitting cross-legged on a bench in the pavilion, playing cat's tuck with Situ Feng. Situ Ya was watching them eagerly. She wanted to go forward but was afraid of being rejected. She didn't want to leave, so she just stayed there.

Situ Xu and Situ Mo were drinking. Normally, neither of them was a big drinker, not to mention that Situ Mo was in poor health and seldom drank.

But at this moment, when Situ Xu poured wine for him, he drank it without saying anything.

Under the moonlight, neither of them looked happy, but rather a little irritable.

They were drinking and having fun, but the person in the middle was the only one who didn't fit in.

Situ Ran saw Situ Yan sitting there from a distance.

Her peach blossom eyes looked intently in the direction of Xie Yuantang, so quiet that she seemed to be in a painting.
