Coincidentally, Helian Shi was also looking at her, his eyes filled with blatant disdain.

Helian Shi was raised as the crown prince from a young age, so he was exceptionally calm and composed, but Helian Qing was different.

She is naturally active and lively, and always gets into trouble.

Every time she got into trouble, Helian Shi would first punish her, and then clean up her mess.

Her mother doted on her, and even her father couldn't bear to hit her. Only her elder brother would actually lay a hand on her. Therefore, Helian Qing was fearless except for Helian Shi.

Lu Qing thought that if she was truly the reincarnation of Helian Qing, then she would understand why Helian Shi was afraid of her.

Lu Qing swallowed hard, then continued reading.

After watching for a long time without seeing Chu Qianjin appear, Lu Qing activated the Ten Directions Mirror to fast forward.

It wasn't until twelve years later, when Helian Shi was eighteen years old, that things changed.

The Jiang Kingdom, which had been eyeing the border of Yue with hostility, sent a prince, saying it was to promote peace between the two countries.

This prince was named Jiang Jin, and he was Chu Qianjin's previous incarnation.

Jiang Jin was physically weak, and the climate in Yue was cold. King Jiang's order to him was to find an opportunity to die there after arriving in Yue, thus giving Jiang a pretext to send troops.

The wolfish ambitions of the Jiang Kingdom are obvious. To protect the people from the suffering of war, Jiang Jin cannot die.

Helian Shi was sent to Jiang Jin's side to guard him, at least to prevent him from dying in Yue.

At first, Helian Shi disliked Jiang Jin very much and kept a close watch on him, fearing that he might commit suicide one day.

But as time went on, he discovered that Jiang Jin did not want to die.

When he was sick, he would take the initiative to see a doctor and drink bowl after bowl of bitter medicine without ever complaining.

Jiang Jin never carries any sharp weapons; in fact, due to her frail health, she can't even lift a knife.

That day, Helian Shi finally couldn't help but ask him:

"It's been two months already. If you don't take some action soon, it'll be hard to explain to the Jiang Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin smiled and asked him in return:

"Does Your Highness want to ask me when I will die?"

Helian Shi remained silent, waiting for his reply.

Jiang Jin gazed at the snow falling outside the window and drank the bitter medicine down one mouthful at a time.

He was so distressed that tears welled up in his eyes, which turned red, just like the rabbit that Helian Qing kept, making him look pitiful.

"If possible, I would like to live peacefully with all the people of the world until the day I die of old age."

This is Jiang Jin's answer.

From that day on, the guards protecting Jiang Jin changed from ordinary guards to black-armored soldiers raised by Helian Shi.

As expected, Jiang Guo quickly sent assassins to kill Jiang Jin.

With Helian Shi's help, Jiang Jin escaped assassination attempts time and time again.

Jiang Jin wanted to live not only for himself, but also for the people of both countries. Helian Shi understood him, and he understood Helian Shi, so he desperately tried to live.

Finally, under Helian Shi's protection, Jiang Jin survived the winter of that year.

With fewer assassinations in Jiang Guo, Jiang Jin's life finally became a little easier.

Since he couldn't leave the hospital, Helian Shi would often have Helian Qing come over to keep him company.

With Helian Qing making a ruckus, Jiang Jin's courtyard became much more lively, her mood gradually improved, and her health improved day by day.

Helian Qing preferred Jiang Jin to Helian Shi.

Because Jiang Jin not only wouldn't scold her, but would also cook her lots of delicious food, Jiang Kingdom cuisine, which she had never tasted before.

"Brother Ajin, I wish you were my real brother!" Helian Qing often said this.

Having heard it so many times, Jiang Jin smiled helplessly:

"Then how about this, I'll be your older brother again in the next life, okay?"

Helian Qing was finally satisfied and even made a pinky promise with Jiang Jin.

As the days went by, the Jiang Kingdom, unable to find a reason to send troops, became increasingly desperate to kill Jiang Jin.

To achieve this goal, they even sent Jiang Jin's birth mother to the Yue Kingdom.

Jiang Jin may not care about anyone else, but that was his mother who had protected him since he was a child, and he had to see her.

Jiang Jin's birth mother was just a palace maid. She knew nothing and knew nothing, except that she could see her son if she went to Yue Kingdom.

So she came.

But she fainted as soon as she saw Jiang Jin.

She was poisoned, a poison that could only be exchanged for life.

Caught between the common people and her mother, Jiang Jin was torn.

However, before he could make a decision, Helian Shi transferred all the poison from his mother into his own body.

He wanted to die in Jiang Jin's place.

Upon learning of this, the King of Yue was furious and hurriedly brought out the national treasure, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, to detoxify Helian Shi.

However, the poison was so potent that even the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain could not completely eliminate it.

Helian Shi fell into a coma, and even the imperial physicians were helpless.

That day, Jiang Jin dismissed everyone and went to Helian Shi's room.

He was born weak, and in order to survive, he volunteered to test medicines for the Imperial Medical Academy while he was in the Jiang Kingdom, in order to have a chance to live.

Over the years, the various medications he's taken have long since turned him into a medicine himself.

Jiang Jin bled himself out and cut out his own flesh, almost losing half his life, before finally clearing the remaining poison from Helian Shi's body.

After this incident, Helian Shi and Jiang Jin became even closer.

They may not have realized it at the time, but Lu Qing and the others watching now have truly witnessed the change in their feelings for each other.

It was two years later when Helian Shi realized that his feelings for Jiang Jin were not those of a brother.

At that time, the Yue Kingdom was strong and well-equipped, while the Jiang Kingdom was weakened by natural disasters.

The Yue emperor wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Jiang kingdom. The reason for sending troops was that Jiang Jin had assassinated Crown Prince Helian Shi.

Helian Shi would naturally not allow Jiang Jin to become an excuse for sending troops.

He knelt at the entrance of the main hall for three whole days, but still could not persuade the emperor to rescind his decree.

The Jiang Kingdom harbors wolfish ambitions. If we don't eliminate them now, they might rebel in the future, causing even greater casualties.

Helian Shi understood this principle, but he also understood that Jiang Jin should not become a victim of the conflict between the two countries.

At his pleading, the Yue emperor finally agreed to give Jiang Jin a drug to fake his death, promising that he could live under another identity once the war was over.

Helian Shi happily told Jiang Jin the news, but on the day of the execution, Jiang Jin replaced the fake poisoned wine with real poisoned wine.

Jiang Jin was born in the State of Jiang and was a prince of the State of Jiang.

Although he was not highly regarded, he still cared deeply for the people of Jiang.

He knew he couldn't persuade anyone or stop the war, so he could only live and die with the Jiang Kingdom.

The war lasted for six months before it ended.

After Helian Shi returned to the capital, he went to look for Jiang Jin, but Jiang Jin was nowhere to be found.

No one dared to tell him the truth that Jiang Jin was dead, and he searched all over the country with this obsession.

He met a Gu master when he died in despair. He did not want to die and wanted to continue searching for Jiang Jin, so he asked the Gu master to prolong his life.

The Gu Master planted an immortality Gu in him, and thereafter he spent his time in repeated periods of deep sleep and amnesia.

But no matter how much of his memory he lost, the obsession etched in his mind never changed.

He needs to find his Ah Jin!
