Chapter 67

What are the requirements?

How could this be the result?

Even if it was Ying'er's fault that her luck was stolen, she was only two years old at that time. How could she protect herself?

After being stolen, she immediately fell ill and almost died. Doesn't that count as punishment?

now.

That person used himself to nourish her luck for so many years, took it for himself, and did things that were against the will of heaven and earth. Why should Jiang Zhaoying bear the consequences of all these violations alone?

What kind of justice is this?

Jiang Zhaoying's eyes were red, and she was helpless, and said softly.

"That's how it's arranged by heaven. I can't resist it."

As soon as the words fell.

Her heart suddenly felt as if it was cut by a sharp knife, and the tearing pain spread, making her face almost visibly pale.

moment.

A mouthful of blood gushed out.

Her whole body was weak and she staggered and fell down. Seeing this, the prince leaned over, grabbed her and turned around to shout.

"Doctor Chu."

Among the guards.

A slender figure dressed as a guard hurried out.

Jiang Zhaoying covered her chest with her hands, looking extremely painful. Seeing that it was really Doctor Chu, she hurriedly reached out her hand.

Out and about.

Without caring about the rules, Doctor Chu squatted down and took her pulse.

Then.

His expression changed from puzzled to surprised.

"From what the pulse shows, Miss Jiang is healthy and does not seem to be poisoned."

Could it be true as she said, that this was a punishment from God?

Xu Zhiyan frowned, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured two pills into Jiang Zhaoying's mouth, then picked her up and begged.

"Your Highness, I want to continue on my journey."

They must rush to Qishan Town as quickly as possible to calm the anger of the dragon vein, otherwise the earthquake will occur prematurely and kill innocent people, and Jiang Zhaoying will suffer more than just vomiting blood.

The prince watched Xu Zhiyan hug Jiang Zhaoying tightly, his dark eyes like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen.

Suddenly.

Jiang Zhaoying raised her pale face and pointed at the prince with trembling hands.

"I will feel more comfortable staying with Your Highness."

Wei Jiuzhao and Xu Zhiyan were stunned for a moment, then they understood.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son of the dragon, so he is naturally protected by dragon energy. When Jiang Zhaoying is with him, the dragon vein will not be so angry, and she will naturally feel much more comfortable.

"Give it to me!"

The prince stretched out his hands. Xu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Zhaoying, who looked seriously ill. Even though he was reluctant, he handed her over to His Royal Highness the Prince without hesitation.

It turns out that women are so light and soft?

The prince was stunned.

…

Turning around with a sullen face, Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an helped them onto the horse, and the prince took the cloak and wrapped her tightly around it, then used a wide piece of satin to gently tie Jiang Zhaoying and his own waist to prevent her from fainting and falling off the horse.

Xu Zhiyan looked at Jiang Zhaoying nestling in the prince's arms. She indeed looked more comfortable. His heart ached, but there was nothing he could do.

As long as she can get a little better, anything is fine.

"Walk."

There was no time to lose and we had to hurry on our way.

The wind was blowing, and the prince put a hat on Jiang Zhaoying. Jiang Zhaoying looked up at him, and she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince could be so attentive.

Pale room.

She pursed her lips slightly towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"It was the subject who offended His Highness."

"It's not once or twice."

The prince lowered his head and looked coldly at Jiang Zhaoying's pale appearance. He raised his hand and pressed her little face into his arms to protect her from the wind. Then he hugged her tighter, holding her close to himself, as close as possible to make her feel comfortable.

The pain in my heart gradually eased.

Jiang Zhaoying found that the closer she got, the less pain she would feel, so when the horse started running, she couldn't help but nestle herself in His Highness' arms.

"Jiang Zhaoying."

After running for nearly an hour, there was no movement in his arms. The prince felt empty in his heart and suddenly called her name.

"kindness."

Jiang Zhaoying responded. The prince's scent smelled so good that it made breathing easier for her.

"The Emperor forbids you and Song Chengyu to divorce. Do you have any plans?"

"some."

My mother once said that the worst thing people should do is to accept their fate. Instead, they should take advantage of the right time, place and people to create the best opportunities for themselves.

It would be best if people could fight back. If you really can't fight back, there's nothing to be afraid of. If you can win, fight. If you can't, just run away.

She said.

In their eyes, everyone is equal, there are many women who are more capable than men, and some even lead men to achieve better results.

so.

She would not submit to the emperor's majesty. Once this matter was resolved, she would start making plans, and the first thing would be to divorce Song Chengyu.

When the prince saw her reply, his frown relaxed a little. He patted her on the back, motioned her to continue resting, and stopped talking to her.

The sky was sometimes dark and sometimes bright, and the wind was swaying the branches in the forest.

Several horses shuttled through the forest road like arrows and appeared in the next scene in the blink of an eye.

This time.

No one stopped and they rushed straight to a big mountain north of Qishan Town, which was the place where they were digging holes and burying things.

After getting off the horse, everyone rushed forward to check on Jiang Zhaoying.

"Ying'er, how do you feel now?"

Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao frowned and asked, while Shen Liuguang arranged for the guards to light a fire immediately. After boiling hot water, they brought it to the prince and Jiang Zhaoying. The prince blew gently, tested the temperature, and fed his water into Jiang Zhaoying's mouth.

Seeing that she had finished drinking the water, Doctor Chu stepped forward to feel her pulse again, but Jiang Zhaoying's pulse still showed no problems. Doctor Chu also claimed that he had been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and had read countless medical books, but he was still shocked to find that what was happening before him was beyond his understanding.

"puff……"

Jiang Zhaoying was about to speak when she spat out another mouthful of blood.

Wei Jiuzhao looked around with a serious face, then his expression changed slightly. This was indeed the location of the dragon's tail. They didn't notice it at all, but his junior sister felt it from hundreds of miles away.

she.

It’s really amazing!

"What should we do now?"

The prince raised his hand, and Shen Liuguang took out the map of Qishan Town. After looking at it carefully, he walked towards the big pit they had dug.

With this pit and the stone tablet as a cover, it can be explained even if the prince himself comes, and it doesn't matter even if the state official comes to ask.

"I'll go find it."

Jiang Zhaoying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stumbled to his feet, and spoke while checking the terrain.

"It's too dangerous. We'll go with you."

Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao rushed forward to support Jiang Zhaoying. After Jiang Zhaoying calculated, she shook her head.

"It doesn't like too many people, I'm going alone."

"I will go with you."

Since she would feel more comfortable with him by her side, and since it involved both of their lives, he would go with her.

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous."

Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an shook their heads and refused.

"I am willing to go with Miss Jiang, but Your Highness... this time we will face an invisible mysterious force, and I am worried..."

"Don't worry. Since it is a dragon vein, I am its descendant. It will never hurt me."

"Miss Jiang, is that so?"

Shen Liuguang frowned and asked her, and Jiang Zhaoying glanced at the prince.

"If the dragon vein likes him, it will protect him. If it doesn't like him, then it is unpredictable."

The implication is.

If the dragon vein is not satisfied with this descendant, it will most likely find a way to destroy him.

"Your Highness."

Shen Liuguang and Cheng Ting'an knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who kicked them away.

"Get out of the way!"

He would not give the dragon vein any chance to be dissatisfied with him. If it was really dissatisfied, he would force it until it was satisfied.

He will be the one to govern this country in the future. In other words, whether the dragon veins can live peacefully in the mountains depends on what he does.

He doesn't intend to live by relying on the dragon's veins!

Putting all this aside, no matter how dangerous it was, he couldn't let Jiang Zhaoying go alone.

Shen Liuguang looked at the viciousness in the prince's eyes and knew that the prince intended to conquer the dragon vein, so he said nothing more and just stood up to ask Jiang Zhaoying.

"Miss Jiang, what preparations should we make?"

"Go prepare the things for the sacrifice, be thoughtful, quickly."

After saying.

Jiang Zhaoying turned around, found a stone, and sat quietly to recover her strength. Xu Zhiyan handed her some water. Jiang Zhaoying took two pills with the water, then closed her eyes and began to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

An hour later.

Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao checked all the things they needed, and gave Jiang Zhaoying and the prince two more talismans.

The time has come.

Jiang Zhaoying and the prince walked towards the mountain path together.

The mountain road was relatively flat at the beginning, but the scenery changed suddenly after turning the corner, becoming more and more rugged. Even the prince found it difficult to walk, as if he remembered that Jiang Zhaoying was following him. He turned around hurriedly and looked at Jiang Zhaoying, whose forehead was covered with sweat and whose expression was painful. He lowered his eyes and reached out his hand to her.

Jiang Zhaoying looked up at him. This cold and hard young man from a noble family was now brave enough to overcome all difficulties together with her.

Purse your lips slightly.

She put her hand into the Crown Prince's hand.

As he clenched his fist tightly, the prince's mind inappropriately recalled everything that had happened in his dream, and his expression became a little unnatural.

Jiang Zhaoying thought he didn't like it and tried to pull her hand back.

"I can walk on my own, Your Highness."

But only she herself knew that once she was too far away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the piercing pain almost took her life.

"You can't leave."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke in a deep voice, holding Jiang Zhaoying tightly in one hand and holding the things needed for the sacrifice in the other. The two of them searched in the woods, one deep and one shallow, according to the direction.

Just as they reached the top of the mountain, the originally blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and large groups of black clouds rolled over their heads like ferocious beasts.

A heavy breath rushed over, and not only the exhausted Jiang Zhaoying, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found it difficult to breathe.

"Hurry up and set it up."

Jiang Zhaoying frowned as she spoke, and the prince nodded, then laid out the items for worship one by one.

Jiang Zhaoying handed him a dagger.

"There's not enough wine. Let me give you your blood."

The prince glanced at Jiang Zhaoying, and without saying a word, he cut his palm and let the blood flow into the small wine glass.

Then.

Three cups of wine to toast the mountain god.

Three cups of blood to pay tribute to the dragon vein.

The incense, candles and offerings are all in perfect order.

The prince opened the fire stick and prepared to light the incense and candles, but for some reason, as soon as the flame got close to the incense and candles, a cold wind blew over, and this happened repeatedly.

Jiang Zhaoying stood up and bowed towards the north with a pious tone and a respectful attitude.

"Since I was taught by heaven and earth, I should have protected this area. However, due to my young age, I failed to keep my luck, which led to it being stolen. That person has a bad character and used my luck to do evil things. I deserve to be punished by heaven, but I promise to take back my luck and severely punish that person."

"That man had prepared to do evil thirteen years ago. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are going to the mountain to plead guilty in person. We also ask the mountain god to come out and see us."

The strong wind blew towards Jiang Zhaoying, causing her to fall to the ground. Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly knelt towards the north.

"The awakening of the dragon vein was also planned by others. Our original intention was to save tens of thousands of people in Qishan Town. Mountain God, you should know that as long as you come out to meet us, you can put forward any request, and we will definitely do it."

But.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the branches were slapping against each other, making a terrifying sound.

The prince watched this scene coldly, took off his outer robe and wrapped it around Jiang Zhaoying, looked around and said coldly.

"Why bother her? I will take care of everything."

Speaking of.

The prince then knelt on one knee.

But the wind suddenly changed direction and landed on the Crown Prince's knees, refusing to accept his courtesy no matter what.

at the same time.

A snake-shaped golden lightning burst out from the dark clouds, accompanied by thunder, and struck the prince like a fierce beast. The prince's face changed color, and he immediately turned around and covered Jiang Zhaoying's head in his arms, hugging her tightly, ready to bear the blow of lightning alone.

There was a sharp flash in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes, and she threw the talisman given by Xu Zhiyan towards the lightning at the fastest speed. There was a loud thunderclap, smoke rose, and the lightning suddenly shrank back amid the earth-shaking.

cough……

A choking smell filled the air and Jiang Zhaoying started coughing. The prince hurriedly opened his eyes to check and was relieved to see that Jiang Zhaoying's clothes were not burnt and she was fine.

The dark clouds in front of me had dispersed a lot, and the wind had gradually died down, but large raindrops continued to fall, hitting my body and causing pain.

The prince's eyebrows were cold and he was filled with anger, but Jiang Zhaoying's eyes showed joy and she pushed him quickly.

"Go light some incense."

The prince looked at the rain, walked forward and opened the fire again. This time he lit the incense and candles without any problem, and then burned some paper money.

Something like smoke and fog appeared silently in front of them, and Jiang Zhaoying kowtowed to him.

"I know what you are blaming me for, but the dragon vein originally regards the world as its home. It will leave early or late. You can't use this dragon energy to turn all the creatures in this mountain range into monsters, right?"

"I promise you, as long as the people of Qishan Town are willing to relocate, I will save as many as possible and will never give up on any of them. I will even take away the animals in the mountains."

"If you have any other requests, please feel free to ask."

The moment he bowed his head, a mist appeared in front of the prince's eyes, and then he found that Jiang Zhaoying was gone.

"Jiang Zhaoying."

The prince shouted, a feeling of powerless anxiety and anger surging in his body, making him uneasy.

I never thought that there are so many things in this world that are beyond my control.

"I am the crown prince of Daye State, so I should be the one to negotiate. I beg you to return Jiang Zhaoying to me, and I will take full responsibility for everything."

Speaking of.

The prince picked up a cup of blood and sprinkled it on the ground.

The ground shook violently, and the prince, with a cold look on his face, poured out the second cup, and then the third cup... When the fog came over, Jiang Zhaoying staggered and appeared in front of him. The prince hurried forward and held her in his arms.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Your Highness."

Jiang Zhaoying shook her head, and when she looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there was something more in her eyes, and the Crown Prince frowned.

"Where did you go just now?"

"The mountain god's place."

"What did he ask for?"

Since they went there and came back safely, it means the deal must have been made. What they need to do now is to satisfy the mountain god, calm the anger of the dragon veins, delay the earthquake, and give them enough time to rescue the people.

"he……"

Jiang Zhaoying pulled her hand back from the Crown Prince's palm, and when she looked around, there was a trace of compassion in her eyes. It took a while before she spoke.

"The mountain god allows us to be husband and wife!"

…

The prince was stunned. When the scenes in his dream flooded into his mind, his heart was violently shaken.

"But I refused."

Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly explained that this was indeed the request of the mountain god, but she did not agree.

"Why do you refuse?"

The prince's eyes suddenly darkened and he took a step forward. Jiang Zhaoying smiled helplessly.

"I'm already married into the Song family. Even if we divorce, I'm still a second-time bride and cannot be your wife."
