The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

When Jiang Xianyue opened her eyes, her headache had subsided considerably.

She died right at the start of the game, a truly aggrieved situation for this powerful woman.

Is this another rebirth?

Warmth enveloped Jiang Xianyue, but amidst the tranquility, a few coughs were clearly audible.

That was the sound of a weak cough from someone who had been bedridden for a long time.

The owner of the voice was someone she knew.

Shen Shijing!

Jiang Xianyue looked up and saw Shen Shijing in front of her, his movements lazy and casual, his eyes cold and distant, which made him seem as arrogant as an immortal.

Jiang Xianyue almost forgot that this was how Shen Shijing should be.

In her past life, she was blind and mistook a fish eye for a pearl, causing the tragic death of such a good man as Shen Shijing. In this life, she must protect Shen Shijing well.

Jiang Xianyue then realized that even though Shen Shijing was surrounded by purple aura, which was the appearance of an emperor in metaphysics, it was almost a certainty that he would become the emperor in the future.

However, within his purple aura, there was still an unyielding black aura.

Someone is already stealing his luck, and his body will become increasingly depleted without any apparent reason.

It was all because in her previous life, Shen Shijing was also eccentric and unruly, and in poor health. At that time, she mistakenly believed that the Second Prince Shen Qinglan was the destined person the old man had mentioned, and was tricked by Shen Qinglan into personally destroying Shen Shijing's final destiny.

She was so damned good.

Now that we've acknowledged the past opportunities, we can explain everything and directly help Shen Shijing.

Jiang Xianyue was anxious and grabbed Shen Shijing's wrist again.

At this moment, her depleted spiritual energy gradually began to recover with the contact between the two. It turned out that the sensations she felt before losing consciousness were not an illusion.

Shen Shijing, with his imperial purple aura, could truly help him turn danger into safety.

She was even happier, no longer panicked at losing her spiritual power.

Shen Shijing looked down, and Jiang Xianyue followed suit. It would have been better if she hadn't looked, because she realized that her hands, covered in dirt, bloodstains, and mud, were carelessly gripping the expensive dragon-patterned fabric that Shen Shijing was wearing.

The disdain in Shen Shijing's eyes was impossible to hide.

Jiang Xianyue remembered every detail of her time with Shen Shijing. The Crown Prince was extremely fastidious; if his clothes were even slightly soiled, he could easily have an official executed.

Shen Shijing's expression was cold, and his gaze was unfriendly, unlike his eloquent manner in her previous life.

Jiang Xianyue knew she was being disliked, so she spoke up before Shen Shijing could get angry.

"Ten years ago at Wanggu Mountain, does Your Highness remember making a pact with a little girl?"

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, she stared intently at Shen Shijing's face. Upon hearing this, he did not show any sudden realization, but rather frowned slightly.

Shen Shijing's brows and eyes were cold and stern, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, unconsciously clenched tightly.

A terrible idea suddenly popped into my head.

Could it be that Jiang Xian Yue knew about the bond in her past life, yet was still willing to help Shen Qing Lan, while Shen Shi Jing was completely unaware of their deep love, to the point that he unintentionally became the clown?

Shen Shijing had not yet recovered from his rebirth, so of course he did not notice the difference in Jiang Xianyue.

Just when he thought he had come to his senses and changed his fate, Jiang Xian Yue was already using other methods to lure him in.

It turns out his past life was so ridiculous.

So Shen Shijing raised his head proudly: "Where is Wanggushan? I have been in the capital all this time and have never been anywhere else."

"I gave Miss Jiang a ride because my father wishes to see you."

Looking at Shen Shijing's arrogant eyes, filled with suspicion, as if questioning whether she was a con artist, she was completely different from the boy who had chatted with her at the grave.

Having grown accustomed to Shen Shijing from her past life, she felt a pang of sadness.

"You don't remember the contract?"

She clearly remembered Shen Shijing mentioning this matter after she died, so why is he saying he doesn't remember now?

Seeing Jiang Xianyue's burning gaze, as if she cared deeply, Shen Shijing suppressed the last trace of emotion.

"I do not recall this matter!"

After saying that, he brushed away Jiang Xianyue's hand that was holding hers. He appeared calm on the surface, but endless bitterness surged in his heart.

"Jiang Xianyue, our grudges have long been settled." Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue with complicated eyes, silently reciting to himself, but concealing all his emotions.

Jiang Xianyue looked at Shen Shijing in disbelief.

Could it be that Shen Shijing doesn't remember the contract at this point, and that he only learns about it later?

Jiang Xianyue could only offer this explanation, but she needed to find a reason to keep him by her side.

"Your Highness, let's set aside this matter for now. I come from Wanggu Immortal Mountain and have some knowledge of feng shui and metaphysics. You are surrounded by purple aura, which is the appearance of an emperor. However, your fate has been tampered with; black energy permeates the purple aura, which is extremely ominous!"

"I can help His Highness the Crown Prince resolve this matter."

Why should I believe you!

Shen Shijing raised his eyes with a mocking look and looked at Jiang Xianyue.

“Miss Jiang is seriously injured. If it weren’t for my kindness, you would probably be dead now.”

“That person has interfered with His Highness the Crown Prince’s destiny, causing you to be bedridden and unable to receive any medical help. If this continues, even if His Highness the Crown Prince has great abilities and gains the world, he will be powerless against fate. You can trust me.”

Shen Shijing's fingertips twitched slightly, as if he was weighing his options.

He didn't trust Jiang Xianyue, but this matter of fate was indeed something that couldn't be solved even after he died in his previous life. If Jiang Xianyue started plotting against him now, he should just be careful. In terms of cunning, Jiang Xianyue was meticulous, but not entirely intelligent.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been killed by Shen Qinglan and her sister Jiang Ruyan.

Shen Shijing suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Putting aside whether the girl has any ability or not, what do you want from helping me like this!"

"Our fates are intertwined, so helping you is helping myself. However, Your Highness needs to do something for me first!"

……

At the entrance of the Jiang residence, everyone was waiting.

Jiang Ruyan stood beside her second wife, Qin Yu, staring in the direction the carriage had come from.

"lady!"

Jiang Yu shouted impatiently.

"Xian Yue's return to the manor is nothing serious, everyone should go back first!"

Jiang Ruyan stood in front of Jiang Yu, looking pitiful.

"Father, my sister has lived in the mountains for so many years, she must be longing for family affection."

Besides, the Emperor said that my sister has a unique destiny and that he will bestow a marriage upon her. In the future, my sister will have a noble status, and the affairs of the household will depend on her, so..."

Jiang Ruyan had already made preparations, ensuring that Jiang Xianyue was sent back disheveled, ruining her reputation on her very first day in the manor.

Jiang Xianyue's fate is indeed good. She has been sent away for so many years, but this year she was mentioned by the Imperial Advisor. She was born with the destiny of a phoenix and can bring prosperity to the country. The Emperor personally issued an edict to summon her back to the capital.

He's just a country bumpkin from the mountains; Jiang Ruyan wouldn't give Jiang Xianyue such an opportunity, and arranging this matter would be easy to manipulate.

This also prevents Jiang Xianyue from taking back everything her mother left behind. If she ruins her reputation, she will have no reputation left to speak of, and no matter what arrangements the mansion makes in the future, she will have no choice but to endure it.

The carriage from the Shen residence slowly approached, but there was no driver in sight.

Jiang Ruyan walked closer, but her voice rose a little.

"Is it my sister who's back? Sister, why aren't you coming down?"

Jiang Ruyan took a step closer, and although the carriage looked rather strange, she still intended to lift the curtain.

Jiang Ruyan had already given instructions on everything else. Inside the carriage was Jiang Xianyue, disheveled and sleeping with a wild man.
