After those images flashed by, Qin Beihuang felt dazed and couldn't help but clench his palms.

how come?

Did that really happen?

He actually treated Jiang Ningwan like that?

When I came to my senses, the horse race had already started.

Jiang Ningwan rushed out first, leaving behind only a dashing back.

This is Jiang Ningwan!

At the racecourse, Qin Wenli initially looked after the princess cautiously. Although she said she could ride a horse, he was still worried that she might get hurt.

Who knew that after just two steps, the princess rushed to the front.

Qin Wenli's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Princess, slow down!"

Jiang Ningwan was the first one to rush forward, while the princess was in the second place, trying her best to overtake Jiang Ningwan.

He also quickened his pace and rushed towards the princess.

Extremely worried, "Princess, be careful!"

Shen Lianyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "Third Prince, I'm here to race, not to play. If you can't even surpass me, then don't hold me back!"

The provocative tone immediately ignited Qin Wenli's competitive spirit.

Look at the princess's riding posture. It is not her first time riding a horse. Her riding skills are amazing!

Qin Wenli was surprised and delighted, and smiled, "Okay, then I'll try my best!"

Shen Lianyi smiled faintly, "Let's wait and see."

After that, the two began to chase each other, neither giving in.

Jiang Ningwan was even more ruthless. On the field, she threw all friendship and family affection behind her. Her only goal was that box of gold!

At the racecourse, the competition for first place was extremely fierce.

There was a burst of warm applause outside the stadium.

“Wonderful!”

……

The racecourse was covered in dust and everyone was trying their best.

But in the end, Jiang Ningwan was the first to pull out the flag, raise it high, and take first place.

From afar, Qin Beihuang watched Jiang Ningwan's high-spirited appearance, and images kept flashing through his mind: her perennially pale face, her constant coughing, her frail figure as if she would be blown down by the wind...

They are obviously completely different, but they are both Jiang Ningwan.

Were those scenes dreams, or did they really happen? When did Jiang Ningwan experience all of this?

For a moment, Qin Beihuang was confused.

Staring at Jiang Ningwan's figure in the distance, he could hardly tell which one was the real Jiang Ningwan.

……

"Sister Wan, congratulations, the prize is yours!" Pei Xunzhi handed the brocade box to her.

Jiang Ningwan opened it and took a look, her eyes lighting up.

It is a gold hairpin, very luxurious. Not to mention its heavy weight, the craftsmanship is also priceless, and it is not something that an ordinary craftsman can make.

"You're really willing to use such a good thing as a prize."

Pei Xunzhi smiled and said, "You took it anyway, so what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Ningwan put away the brocade box, and the few of them chatted and laughed as they sat down to rest.

There are many other things to do at today's horse racing meeting, but she has already taken the gold hairpin and will not participate in anything else.

While sitting in the corridor drinking tea, I saw Qin Wenli and Shen Lianyi talking not far away. They were having a very pleasant conversation.

"The Third Prince and the Princess will be getting married soon, and I haven't decided what gift to give them yet." Pei Xunzhi supported his chin thoughtfully.

"It seems to have coincided with the ancestral worship ceremony. I don't know how the palace has arranged it."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly stunned.

Recalling past lives.

Qin Wenli was not married to Princess Dayan, but was the daughter of a prominent family in Kyoto. However, during the ancestral worship ceremony before the wedding, Qin Wenli had a scandal with a palace maid and the marriage was annulled.

The emperor even scolded Qin Wenli and treated him coldly for a long time.

Now their fate has changed a lot, so I believe that nothing will go wrong during the ancestral worship ceremony.

"Have you prepared a wedding gift for His Highness the Third Prince?"

Pei Xunzhi's words brought Jiang Ningwan back to her senses. She shook her head and said, "I'm getting ready."

……

The horse racing event was bustling with activity, and Lu Qingheng finally arrived in Kyoto City after a bumpy journey.

I rushed home anxiously.

But I saw my second brother lying in bed recuperating from his injuries.

His face was haggard and very weak.

"Second brother!" Lu Qingheng rushed to the bedside, tears streaming down his face.

"It's all my fault that I fell into a trap and ended up hurting you!"

She had already learned about what happened in Kyoto on the way, and never expected that the gold mine she found would harm her second brother.

Looking at the dusty Lu Qingheng, Lu Lingsong patted her shoulder and said, "I'm glad you're back safely."

Lu Qingheng wiped away her tears and said, "I'll go find the prince and explain everything clearly!"

Lu Lingsong's face changed and he quickly pulled her back.

"do not go!"

"The Crown Prince has been deposed, and the Queen has fallen ill due to the shock. He's already in a bad mood, and your visit will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire."

"Besides, I have already taken all the blame. It would be useless for you to go."

Lu Lingsong sat up from the bed in pain.

Thinking back to that day, the prince was furious. "If I didn't still need you, I would not have kept you alive! Fifty lashes of the cane will be enough to explain it!"

He only gave him fifty strokes of the cane, but the prince showed mercy by saving him and Qingheng.

Lu Qingheng choked up and burst into tears, "Second brother...I'm the one who hurt you."

Lu Lingsong raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, "It was my second brother who was inconsiderate and asked you to do such an important job."

If he had known earlier, he would have gone there in person.

Although Qingheng is clever, he has never experienced the ups and downs of life and the evil of human nature. How could he know that the gold mine he found with great effort would be a trap?

Lu Qingheng lay on the edge of the bed, crying inconsolably.

……

late at night.

Outside Fengqi Palace.

Jiang Xiru knelt on the ground with a pale face for two hours. The pain was so severe that she could hardly bear it anymore and fell to the ground weakly.

The palace maid quickly stepped inside to report, "Your Highness, Miss Jiang has fainted."

"Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

Qin Chengqian glanced at his mother who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then stood up and walked out.

Slowly came in front of Jiang Xiru.

At that moment Jiang Xiru woke up, struggled to stand up, his face pale, "Your Highness..."

"Please don't divorce me."

His Highness has always refused to see her. He has privately met with several ministers who are already discussing divorcing her. This matter requires the Emperor's consent, so Qin Chengqian plans to let a familiar minister in the court make the proposal.

Upon learning of this, Jiang Xiru immediately came here and knelt down to beg for mercy.

She can't be divorced!

If she were divorced, who in the entire Kyoto city would dare to want her?

Qin Chengqian looked down at her with a cold expression, "Do you think I want to divorce you? Divorcing my wife so soon after getting married will only make people laugh at me for treating marriage as a joke."

"But when I see you, I feel like I'm holding my breath. I feel uncomfortable!"

He pointed at his chest and gritted his teeth.

"Besides, our marriage was just a transaction from beginning to end. You didn't help me get what I wanted, so it makes sense for me to divorce you."

A woman who is of no use to him is not worthy of being his wife.

Jiang Xiru said anxiously: "But I really love Your Highness, and I am sincere to Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian's expression changed slightly.

He slowly bent down, lifted her chin, looked into her tearful eyes, and tried to find some truth in them.

He said quietly, "You said you love me? Then you are willing to do anything for me?"
