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

"Miss Jiang said that I have a virtuous wife. I wonder if Miss Jiang is capable of being this virtuous wife!"

Shen Shijing's palms were warm, while Jiang Xianyue's fingertips were slightly cool. The two gazed at each other for a long time.

of course.

Jiang Xianyue answered like this, but for some reason, the words were stuck in her throat as if she had been frozen in place.

Perhaps she was nervous.

No, why am I nervous?

She was going through a love tribulation specifically for Shen Shijing.

She used to be able to say she would marry Shen Shijing, but now she doesn't dare to admit her reputation as a virtuous wife.

If he doesn't have a suitable partner, he can rise to the challenge, just like he helped Shen Qinglan in his previous life.

Ultimately, Jiang Xianyue felt something was different.

Although she and Shen Qinglan provided a lot of help, they were only focused on completing their own tasks. But with Shen Shijing, her help gradually warmed up; she was no longer just the little fairy who only knew how to catch ghosts.

They stared at each other, Shen Shijing's eyes sparkling. Just as he was about to get closer to Jiang Xianyue, a sigh suddenly came from behind him.

"Sister Xianyue, please say yes to him."

Shen Qingge woke up, lifted her skirt and came out, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"Sister Xianyue, my Crown Prince brother has already proposed marriage, why don't you just agree?"

Proposal?

Jiang Xianyue was slightly taken aback.

He nodded immediately.

“I can marry the Crown Prince. This was part of my plan all along. I had to choose one person anyway, and His Highness the Crown Prince is actually quite capable. With me by his side, His Highness can secure his position…”

Jiang Xianyue spoke fluently and at length.

That makes it clear, doesn't it? Jiang Xianyue is very good at doing what she's supposed to do.

This is like doing things from a past life all over again.

Making amends for one's mistakes can be considered putting everything back in its place.

Shen Shijing's gaze darkened.

"is it?"

"Just for this?"

“If it weren’t for me, with Miss Jiang’s abilities, she could have chosen someone else just as well.”

Shen Shijing lowered his eyes.

From beginning to end, it was all just wishful thinking on my part. Although Jiang Xianyue didn't seem to have fallen in love with Shen Qinglan, she treated him the same way. She was just an accessory who came down the mountain to resolve matters because of her destiny.

He didn't know whether he should be glad that Jiang Xian Yue chose him this time, or sad that he had liked her for so long, and that his death was just an ordinary option.

After Shen Shijing left, Jiang Xianyue shrugged.

“Princess, you see, I agreed, but His Highness the Crown Prince is not willing.”

Please don't try to matchmake me with someone else; His Highness the Crown Prince has never seemed to have such feelings for me.

Shen Qingge crossed her arms over her chest.

"That's impossible. I know my brother, the Crown Prince. He has never treated a woman like that before."

Shen Qingge couldn't figure it out and kept muttering to herself all night before continuing her journey the next day.

Zhang Yuan's matter has been written into a memorial and submitted to the Emperor.

Shen Shijing only wanted to prove that everything he had experienced was a conspiracy that just happened to happen in Liuzhou and had nothing to do with Shen Qingge.

Shen Shijing didn't seem to have slept well either; the three of them remained silent throughout the journey.

On the contrary, Jiang Xianyue couldn't stand the silence. Seeing that Shen Qingge had finished her nap, she took the initiative to speak.

"Your Highness, we should arrive in Liuzhou in about two days. If I'm not mistaken, the monsters in Liuzhou should have already broken out."

Why would they transport the monster to Liuzhou when they were clearly in Liangzhou, just to frame the princess?

I suddenly realized that these were all just excuses; bringing the princess along wasn't a good choice.

Jiang Xianyue increasingly felt that when she came, she thought Shen Qinglan's scheme was all because Shen Qingge hadn't died in this life, and he only wanted to kill Shen Qingge.

Many people in the palace were like that.

But why?

Unlike Shen Shijing, Shen Qingge is just a princess. Keeping her in the capital would not pose any threat to her.

The problem likely lies in Shen Qingge's destiny.

The late empress was very capable, and the crown prince and princess both had unique destinies, which were the best symbols of auspicious energy coming from the east to the imperial family.

Perhaps, Shen Qingge's death would be the real benefit for them.

It was all a facade.

Wouldn't it be dangerous for Shen Qingge to come with them?

"What I mean is, escort the princess to a safe place, and I will face the rest on her behalf."

After careful consideration, Jiang Xianyue spoke cautiously.

"In this way, I can also pretend to be a princess and find out what they really want to do."

"Where are you sending Qingge? Back to Qing Kingdom or..."

"Let's go look at Lonely Mountain!"

Jiang Xianyue thought that the other party should also know that Shen Shijing wanted to help Shen Qingge, which was nothing more than escorting her back to the capital or back to Qing Kingdom. They could send people to ambush her along the way. As long as Shen Qingge was not in the group, they could just have someone wait for her on the inevitable route in advance.

It's not far from Wanggushan Mountain.

This was something they absolutely couldn't have imagined.

Jiang Xianyue's gaze was very serious.

"That's not a bad idea, but can you be sure that Wanggushan is safe?"

“I will give my senior brother a letter of divorce and ask him to take the princess away. In the future, I will disguise myself as the princess and there will be no chance of anything going wrong.”

Shen Shijing nodded silently, which could be considered as agreement.

During the break, Jiang Xianyue released the unique signal for Wanggushan.

"I believe my senior brother will find us tonight. Let's take our time and walk slowly."

"My senior brother's visit has its advantages; if there are any evil spirits on the road, His Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured. Also, I need to ask my senior brother about the matter of my complete loss of spiritual energy."

Shen Qingge woke up and walked to the two of them.

Jiang Xianyue whispered her plan to Shen Qingge, who then clung to Jiang Xianyue's clothes.

"Sister Xian Yue, don't you want to take me with you?"

Jiang Xianyue took Shen Qingge's hand.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is not in a good position either. If the princess stays, she might become a hindrance. You know, the Crown Prince would never abandon the princess in the face of disaster, and now he himself may not even be able to protect himself."

Hearing this, Shen Qingge gave in.

"Sister Xianyue, you must take good care of yourself too."

……

As night fell, they had just settled down at the inn when a man came looking for Jiang Xianyue.

Shen Shijing opened the window and looked down into the distance.

The man was tall and elegant, dressed in a blue robe, and truly had a touch of ancient, otherworldly charm.

He was tall and slender, though somewhat thin.

"Miss Jiang, your senior brother is so frail, can he really protect Qingge?"

Jiang Xianyue gave Shen Shijing a disgruntled look.

"Senior brother may look thin, but he's actually quite capable. He's very famous in our Wanggu Mountain."

Yes, Jiang Xianyue suddenly wondered what happened to her sect and fellow disciples after she died in her previous life.

Seeing old friends again now, I can't help but tear up before I even say a word.

"Junior sister, you're really hopeless."

Not far away, the senior brother seemed to sense it.
