I traveled through time with my best friend.

"The prince has already lost."

"The world is still undecided, how do you know that I will definitely lose?"

"Does the prince still want to use His Majesty as a bargaining chip?" Jiang Xue's voice sounded behind Li Lingxuan.

Mu Qi turned around in surprise and looked at the person behind Jiang Xue with his pupils dilated.

Li Lingxuan heard the voice and turned around to see Jiang Xue walking out supporting Concubine Hua, and Liu Yu walking out supporting Li Lingchen.

"Ahem, King Cheng, you lost." Li Lingchen said softly.

Li Lingxuan asked coldly: "When did you start to doubt me?"

"It all started with Zeng Qin. If she hadn't colluded with those bandits, we wouldn't have found you. Do you remember Wang Yun?" Jiang Xue looked at Li Lingxuan and asked.

"What's up with him?"

"He has been lurking in the Wang family for these years, looking for the murderer behind the destruction of Qingyun Hall. When you brought people to the Imperial Prison, he was already exposed."

"Humph." Li Lingxuan laughed helplessly, "If I lose, I lose. I admit defeat, but I have something to ask you."

"What?"

"Are you Jiang Xue?"

Jiang Xue's heart trembled slightly, and she said directly: "If I'm not Jiang Xue, who else could I be?"

Mu Qihu stood in front of Li Lingxuan and said, "My Lord, please find a chance to leave. I am here."

"useless."

"Hongfu." Li Lingchen called softly.

Hong Fu immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Take King Cheng back to the palace and imprison him for life."

"Yes."

"Heh." Li Lingxuan laughed, looked at Li Lingchen and said, "Love follows where there is profit. When the profit is gone, there will be separation. That's all."

This absurd abdication drama ultimately ended in failure. After Li Lingxuan entered, the door of the palace was closed tightly and sealed.

There were only Li Lingxuan and Mu Qi in the yard. The snow was falling heavier and heavier, with large flakes falling on Li Lingxuan's long black hair and shoulders.

"Your Majesty, I will break out. We still have Jingming Hall."

"No need." Li Lingxuan said softly: "Jingming Hall is no longer there."

"Your Majesty..."

"Go away, the farther the better."

"Your Majesty!"

"Get out!" Li Lingxuan said coldly.

Mu Qi had to leave temporarily.

In the palace.

The morning court was the same as usual, but the officials who had been bribed by King Cheng were all panicked, fearing that His Majesty would blame them.

Li Lingchen did not investigate or punish the officials, but simply issued a verbal warning, which both established his authority and made the officials regain their composure.

After attending the morning court, Li Lingchen returned to the court hall, where Pei Zhijin was already waiting.

"Zhijin, why don't you go back to rest?" Li Lingchen asked while sitting on a chair.

Pei Zhijin said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here to resign."

"You want to leave?"

"Yes, now the court situation has stabilized, the murderer of my father's revenge has been found, Jingming Hall has been destroyed, and I promised Jiang Xue that I would take her to hide in the world."

Li Lingchen pondered for a moment, and then said, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes."

"Since you have made up your mind to leave, there is no point in me saying more, so I will not keep you here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"But you must remember me and come back to visit me when you have time." Li Lingchen said with a smile.

"Yes."

When Pei Zhijin came out, Jiang Xue was waiting outside. The snow was still heavy, and the palace was covered in silver, which created a unique atmosphere.

"Why don't you wait for me to find you?" Pei Zhijin walked towards Jiang Xue.

"I want to see you soon."

"Let's go."

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin with her dark eyes and said, "Did you say it?"

"What?" Pei Zhijin asked, pretending not to know.

Jiang Xue became anxious and said, "It's about resigning."

"Oh, I just forgot."

"Pei Zhijin! How could you forget such a big thing?"

Pei Zhijin looked at the somewhat angry Jiang Xue and couldn't help laughing. He pinched Jiang Xue's angry face and said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to resign."

"Really?" Jiang Xue immediately asked happily.

"real."

"That's great." Jiang Xue hugged Pei Zhijin.

Liu Yu hurried over from a distance, "Boss, go check on Gu Yu. When we found him in Baohua Palace, he was already unconscious."

"What?" Jiang Xue frowned, and hurriedly got out of Pei Zhijin's arms, saying, "I'll go take a look."

Inside the Baohua Hall.

Gu Yu was lying on the bed covered in blood. Jiang Xue looked at the unconscious Gu Yu, then looked at Liu Yu and said, "Why did he become like this?" Then she began to take his pulse.

Liu Yu said from the side: "Gu Yu went to get information last night and was discovered by King Cheng. Maybe Gu Yu was arrested at that time."

After taking his pulse, Jiang Xue said to Liu Yu, "Bring the medicine box. There is a force in his body that conflicts with his internal strength. I have to force it out."

"Okay." Liu Yu quickly went to the side and got the medicine box.

Pei Zhijin asked from the side: "Do you need help?"

"No need, I can force it out." He then opened the medicine box, took out the needle bag, and started giving the acupuncture.

Gu Yu felt a tightness in his chest, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes moved slightly and he slowly opened them.

"You're awake, how are you?" Jiang Xue asked.

Gu Yu turned his gaze back and saw the person standing beside his bed. He shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Jiang Xue looked at Liu Yu and said, "Take him back to Wanhe Hall and let him recover."

"it is good."

"Let's go too."

"kindness,"

As soon as Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue left the palace, they saw Qing Ye standing in the snow. Jiang Xue immediately stood in front of Pei Zhijin and looked at Qing Ye and said, "How dare you show up?"

"Ms. Jiang, I have no ill intentions."

"What do you want to do?"

Qing Ye pursed his lips and finally said, "I want you to help me save someone."

"Why do you think I will help you save her?" Jiang Xue asked coldly.

"you will."

"Funny." Jiang Xue sneered and pulled Pei Zhijin away.

Qing Ye said, "Miss Jiang, don't you want to see Zhu Feng?"

Jiang Xue paused, clenched her fingers, looked at Qing Ye impatiently and asked, "Are you only capable of threatening people?"

"If I don't do this, Miss Jiang won't come with me to save people."

Jiang Xue pointed at Qing Ye and nodded silently, "Okay, lead the way."

"please!"

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and was about to speak when Pei Zhijin spoke first: "I'll go with you."

Jiang Xue paused and said, "Okay."

In the inn.

When Jiang Xue saw that the person to be rescued was Chongming, she frowned and looked at Qingye and said, "Didn't you two have a falling out?"

"Miss Jiang knows quite a lot."

Pei Zhijin was very displeased when he heard Qingye calling her Miss Jiang. He looked at Qingye and said, "She is my wife now."

Qing Ye nodded and said, "I know. If I didn't need Miss Jiang to save people, I would definitely kill you."

"Why did you kill him?" Jiang Xue stared at Qing Ye with sharp eyes.

Qing Ye lowered his eyes slightly, "It was a misunderstanding, I thought it was someone from Qing Yun Tang who destroyed the Southern Region, I didn't expect it was King Cheng."

"You already knew he was from Qingyun Hall?"

"Yes."

"Then you should be glad that you didn't do it, otherwise I wouldn't have saved him."

"Miss Jiang is right."

Jiang Xue looked at Chongming lying on the bed, felt his pulse, and then said solemnly, "He's seriously injured."

"Do you have any solution?"

Jiang Xue thought about it and nodded: "Yes, but it takes some time."

"What is it?" Qing Ye asked anxiously.

"The wisteria flowers from your southern region can last for three years if they are given daily acupuncture."

"really?"

"If you don't believe me, don't come to me."

"I believe it, I believe it." Qing Ye said excitedly.

Jiang Xue took out the medicine bottle from her bosom, handed it to Qing Ye and said, "The journey to the Southern Region is long. This is medicine that can relieve his pain. I will write a prescription later, and you can prepare the medicine for him according to the prescription later."

"Okay." Qing Ye nodded and took the medicine bottle.

"I've finished seeing the patient, where is Zhufeng?"

“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang, she’s fine. She will go back after Chongming and I leave the capital.”

"You'd better keep your word, otherwise I will chase you to the Southern Territory and kill you with my own hands."

"do not worry."

Jiang Xue glanced at Pei Zhijin, who nodded and said, "I'll wait for you outside." Then he left.

Jiang Xue looked at Qing Ye and said, "I helped you save Chongming not because I was afraid of you, but because I was grateful that you did not reveal Zhijin's identity to King Cheng."

"I won't get involved in what's going on between you guys."

"Just be clear about it, take him with you and never go back to Chili."

"I know."

Jiang Xue came out of the house, looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Let's go back to Wanhe Hall."

"it is good."

When Liu Yu brought Gu Yu back to Wanhetang, they happened to be seen by Lin Yiyi.

"Doctor Liu!" Lin Yiyi called out to Liu Yu and walked forward quickly.

Gu Yu lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Yiyi had already seen Gu Yu. When she got closer, she saw that Gu Yu's face was pale and asked, "Are you injured?"

Gu Yu looked up at Lin Yiyi and said, "Some minor injuries."

"How can it be a minor injury? It looks serious?" Lin Yiyi frowned, then took out the medicine from her arms, handed it to Gu Yu and said, "This medicine was given to me by Xue'er. It works very well."

Gu Yu took the medicine and said softly, "Thank you."

"Thank you, we are friends."

Gu Yu raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes, between friends, there is no need to thank each other."

"kindness."

Gu Yu gently pinched Liu Yu, and Liu Yu said, "Then I'll take him back to the room first."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Yiyi nodded.

Gu Yu and Liu Yu had just returned to their room when Jiang Xue and Pei Zhijin entered Wanhe Hall.

"Yiyi!"

Lin Yiyi saw Jiang Xue and immediately walked forward, and asked excitedly: "How is it? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

"How was the Prince's Banquet?"

"It's almost healed." Lin Yiyi said.

Jiang Xue said: "Zhi Jin has already resigned from his post. We will leave the capital after the New Year."

"Okay, I've wanted to leave the capital for a long time."

"Madam, Sister Yiyi." Zhu Feng's voice sounded behind him.

Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue looked over, and Zhu Feng ran forward, his eyes slightly red as he said, "Great, you are all okay."

"What about you?" Jiang Xue asked, "Qing Ye didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No."

"That's great. Why don't we go to Qianweilou to eat hotpot on this auspicious day?"

"Okay." Lin Yiyi replied with a smile.

--------

The end of the year is approaching, and the snow that has accumulated over the winter seems to be falling all at once, and it keeps falling.

Jiang Xue and Pei Zhijin posted couplets at the entrance of Pei's house. Many shops on the street also hung red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.

After Pei Zhijin posted the couplets, Jiang Xue said anxiously with a flushed face, "Let's go to Qingyuan quickly. Yiyi and the others are waiting."

Pei Zhijin walked in front of Jiang Xue, gently brushed away the fallen snow on Jiang Xue's cloak, and then whispered, "Let's go."

"Hurry, hurry, I'm freezing."

Jiang Xue held Pei Zhijin's arm and walked towards Qingyuan.

Wang Chen looked at Jiang Xue's back from a distance, his eyes drooping and his mood becoming depressed.

Lan Sheng walked to Wang Chen and whispered, "Brother, do you like Miss Jiang?"

Wang Chen was startled and looked at Lan Sheng with a slightly panicked look in his eyes. He asked, "Why are you here?"

Lan Sheng smiled and said, "I've already bought the things."

"Let's go."

"it is good."

--------

Lunar New Year's eve.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out in the streets and alleys, red lanterns were hung on the doors of every house, and children happily gathered around the street vendors selling candy figures.

As evening approached, Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi brought up the cooked dumplings. A long table was filled with food. Zhu Feng and Shuang Ning also placed fruits on the table.

Mu Feng, Gu Yu, Liu Yu, Xiao Yu, Wen Chuan and Wen Yu were playing Pai Gow together.

Wang Ziyan and Pei Zhijin are playing chess.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

"Stop playing and eat." Jiang Xue shouted.

After a while, they sat around the long table. Mu Feng looked at the sumptuous dishes and said with a smile, "Sister Xue'er and Sister Yiyi are really skillful."

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi smiled knowingly. In fact, these dishes were not made by them. They were asked to prepare them in advance by Pei Zhijin and Wang Ziyan. They were only responsible for heating them up and serving them.

"Alright, alright, Yiyi and I will raise a glass. This is the first year we have spent together, so let's wish each other a happy new year. May everything go well for us, and may we be safe and sound every year."

"May the new year be better than the old, more joyful and victorious, and may everything go well." Lin Yiyi said with a smile.

"cheers!"

As soon as we clinked our glasses, fireworks started going off outside.

"Hurry, hurry, let's watch the fireworks." Mu Feng pulled Shuang Ning out.

Zhu Feng pulled Wen Yu, who was still eating, and ran out.

Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi laughed at each other and then clinked their glasses.

"When do we set off?" Jiang Xue asked.

Lin Yiyi said, "Any time is fine. Zi Yan and I have packed everything."

"The day after tomorrow, then."

"Okay." Lin Yiyi nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and whispered to Jiang Xue: "By the way, there is indeed something wrong with Lan Sheng. You would never have thought that he is actually Wang Chen's biological brother."

"Ah? I said they look alike."

"Lan Sheng just has resentment in his heart and comes here for revenge."

"What happened next?" Jiang Xue asked impatiently.

"With my help, the two of them will certainly put aside their past grudges."

"Lan Sheng is not a bad person, he just has resentment in his heart." Jiang Xue said after taking a sip of wine.

Pei Zhijin and Wang Ziyan sat together pitifully, watching Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi drinking, and then clinked their glasses with a wry smile.

"Master Pei, do you want to..."

Pei Zhijin put down his wine glass and said, "That's exactly what I meant." Then he stood up, walked towards Jiang Xue, and picked her up.
