Jiang Qingwan glanced at Mo Shaojun indifferently.
They slipped past each other, carrying Qing Sui.
Su Qinghe looked completely puzzled.
"Isn't Grandfather supposed to be refusing visitors? Why is he meeting with Jiang Qingwan?"
Mo Shaojun looked at her coldly.
"I didn't expect that your Su family would still be so opportunistic even now. I waited at the Buddha Heart Hall for a long time, but was turned away. Yet your grandfather personally sent people to fetch the Ninth Princess. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
Su Qinghe was anxious to explain, but Mo Shaojun had already turned and left.
The burning pain still lingered on her face.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
The maid beside her also looked resentful.
"This Jiang Qingwan is truly a witch, a sorceress with extraordinary methods!"
Su Qinghe was unwilling to accept it.
"One day, I will make her kneel before me!"
...
Inside the Buddha Heart Hall,
Qinghui was stopped outside the main hall.
Su Weichuan looked at Jiang Qingwan as she walked straight in, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
He didn't like it.
But her courage is unmatched by most people.
He was very curious about her purpose in coming this time.
Jiang Qingwan didn't even sit down before saying, "I am under the orders of the Emperor Emeritus to repair the Nine Dragons Formation in the Imperial Mausoleum, and I urgently need the Heart of the Sea Dragon in Your Highness's possession. Will you give it to me directly, or should I request permission first and then come to ask you for it?"
Su Weichuan was so angry he laughed.
"The Ninth Princess Consort is blatantly robbing us!"
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
"yes!"
Su Weichuan choked.
After a few moments of silence, he said, "It seems I have no choice but to give it to you."
Jiang Qingwan nodded slightly.
"Everything is for the Great Zhou."
The hat is fastened securely.
A dark and ambiguous light flashed in Su Weichuan's eyes as he slowly stood up from his chair.
"Since the Ninth Princess Consort has said so, if I don't give it to her, I will become a sinner of the Great Zhou. Let's go, I will take you to get it."
He didn't ask Jiang Qingwan how she knew, and smiled gently, seemingly having no objection to this forced robbery.
The two rode in separate carriages.
We ended up back in that courtyard.
Qinghui was once again stopped at the door.
This time, she drew her dagger with a cold expression.
“Your Highness, I must go with you.”
Everyone in the capital knew that Su Weichuan and Mo Yunhan were at odds. Although she didn't go inside the Buddha Heart Hall, she stood outside watching. Now, Su Weichuan was going to take Jiang Qingwan to an unfamiliar courtyard alone.
She absolutely refused no matter what she said.
Su Weichuan had already gone in first, standing two steps away, and looked back at Jiang Qingwan.
"The Ninth Princess Consort repaired the Nine Dragons Formation for the Great Zhou Dynasty. My Su family has received imperial favor for many years, so we will naturally cooperate fully. Otherwise, I would not have brought you here. However, this courtyard is my secret. Allowing the Princess Consort to enter alone is already my limit. If the Princess Consort is worried that I might do something to you, she can request an imperial decree to surround this courtyard with troops. Then I will take the Princess Consort inside to retrieve it."
In broad daylight, Jiang Qingwan did not believe that Su Weichuan would do anything improper.
She came to retrieve the treasure on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was acting on the emperor's orders.
She patted the green ears of grain.
"Don't worry, I'll call if anything happens, so you don't need to worry."
After saying that, he turned his head.
"Prince Su, please."
Su Weichuan's eyes flickered again.
"The Ninth Princess Consort is very courageous."
Jiang Qingwan had already come to his side, and upon hearing this, she smiled faintly, "I simply believe in the loyalty of the late Prince Su to the Great Zhou."
These words made Su Weichuan's gaze sharpen.
He seemed to recall some unpleasant past events, and gave a half-smile.
"I am absolutely loyal to the Great Zhou!"
There were no guards in the courtyard.
There wasn't even a formation.
But the moment she stepped into the courtyard, she felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
It wasn't a change in the surrounding atmosphere; rather, the courtyard itself was very cold.
No wonder Su Weichuan had his old servant bring him a thick cloak when he went out.
That guy, he didn't even bother to give a heads-up.
Jiang Qingwan couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her arm.
Su Weichuan turned his head to look at her.
"The Ninth Princess Consort is well-versed in the mystical arts, yet she cannot withstand the chill? If so, I'm afraid you will not be able to obtain the Heart of the Sea Dragon."
Jiang Qingwan did not understand the meaning of Su Weichuan's words.
But when they arrived at their destination, they were surprised to see the box floating in the blue seawater in the pit made of cold jade.
The seawater shimmered with a blue light, and the box swayed gently as if it were alive.
The enormous bead was filled with spiritual energy, which permeated the entire room, even causing the walls to be covered with a thick layer of frost over the years.
This icy jade is extremely precious.
She had seen him before in the secret room of the Buddha Heart Hall.
Could it be that after Su Weichuan obtained the Heart of the Sea Dragon, he spent a huge sum of money to display it here?
He seemed to sense her doubts.
Su Weichuan pointed to the box in the water and said, "This box is covered with many taboos. Even though I have searched for countless strange and unusual people, none of them have been able to open it."
"I acquired this treasure to cure my chronic illness and to prolong my life. Now that I am old and frail, I no longer have such wishes. If it can help the Great Zhou Dynasty prolong its destiny, then all my efforts will not have been in vain."
"Ninth Princess Consort, if you want it, go and get it."
He took a few steps back after he finished speaking.
At this moment, Jiang Qingwan did not notice the strange look in Su Weichuan's eyes.
She was completely captivated by the intricate and complex talismans and taboos surrounding the box.
There are ten questions in total, and each question is interconnected.
Even she couldn't easily figure out which taboo was the first one.
