Jiang Xuanyan lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the loss in his heart, and spoke.
"I am a yang body."
Shen Ningzhu didn't notice his abnormality. When she heard this, her eyes lit up. She picked up her phone and quickly flipped through the calendar. She was immediately overjoyed, "Great, the Ghost Festival is in three days."
Jiang Xuanyan said quietly,
"Think it over carefully. Once you leave this time, you'll never come back."
Because once the seal is forcibly opened, they will be sent back to ancient times by the power of that moment.
But at the same time, the result of forcibly opening the seal is that the jade pendant will be immediately destroyed and turned into prickly heat powder.
The power of the jade pendant will also be consumed between heaven and earth.
But Chen Ningzhu only thought of it as a simple binding.
She didn't care, and even thought that no matter how big the world was, she would always be able to find a way to break the bond with the jade pendant.
By then, she would find a way to leave.
However, in order to reassure Jiang Xuanyan, she did not reveal this thought.
Jiang Xuanyan was also afraid that she would go back on her word, so he deliberately made the matter ambiguous.
So, the two of them, each with their own thoughts, decided to go back to ancient times.
Chen Ningzhu couldn't wait to tell Liu Zhiyi the good news, but just as she stood up, Liu Zhiyi knocked on the door with a lunch box.
"Zhuzhu, clean up quickly, it's time for dinner."
"Okay."
Chen Ningzhu suppressed what she was about to say and ran to wash her hands. She also brought wet wipes and carefully helped Jiang Xuanyan wash his hands as well.
Liu Zhiyi was stunned by this abnormal behavior.
I thought to myself, weren't these two people at loggerheads with each other before? How come they suddenly became so harmonious?
Of course, this was a matter between the two of them, so she didn't want to interfere. So she went to clear the table and took out the food from the lunch boxes one by one.
Three people each get a meal.
Jiang Xuanyan's was a rice bowl.
The dishes on Liu Zhiyi and Shen Ningzhu's plates were similar, with a few slices of braised beef, a few boiled shrimps, broccoli, corn kernels, and purple cabbage topped with a layer of salad dressing.
A ball of purple rice.
Oh, there is an extra cucumber dish today, but,
"Hey, Xiaoyi, why is today's cucumber salad different from the previous ones?"
Liu Zhiyi took his portion, scooped a spoonful of konjac and cucumber, put it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then said,
"Oh, this is a new and popular way to eat it, called Konjac with Cucumber. I just learned how to make it, it's delicious and reduces fat, you should try it."
"Really? Then I have to try it."
Jiang Xuanyan looked at her own plate, then at the plates in the hands of her two best friends. Comparing the two, the difference in treatment was too obvious.
I understand that Liu Zhiyi did it on purpose.
But he didn't say anything, just ate the food in his hand silently.
A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog. He will take revenge for this when he returns.
Jiang State, Prime Minister's Mansion
"Prime Minister, it's late, shall we rest?"
Qingyun pushed open the door and walked in, whispering persuasion.
However, the man opposite did not move at all, still bent over his desk and writing furiously. After a few breaths, he picked up his pen and put away the ink. Then he raised his head and said lightly,
"You can leave now. I don't need to serve you here anymore."
Qingyun wanted to say something but stopped himself, but the other party had already picked up the brush again and lowered his head to write.
He could only sigh softly, quietly retreat, and carefully close the wooden door of the study.
When I looked up, I found Xia'er holding a tray with a bowl of refreshing soup on it.
His brows relaxed a little immediately.
"The master is inside, come in."
Xia Er was overjoyed, and she suppressed the smile on her face and knelt down towards him.
"Thank you, Master Qingyun. I will definitely not let you down."
After saying that, he straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in.
Qingyun frowned and scratched his head secretly, feeling a little confused. What did he expect?
baffling.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Qingyun strode away.
Inside the room, Song Hanchuan heard the noise and asked without even looking up, "Didn't I tell you to go off duty first? What's the matter?"
Suddenly I realized that the footsteps were wrong, soft and weak. It was obvious that they were not Qingyun's, but a woman's.
He immediately raised his head and when he saw it was Xia'er, his beautiful sword-like eyebrows frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
Besides him, only Qingyun and Liu Zhiyi could come and go freely in his study. This matter was known to everyone in the mansion, so why did she come in?
Song Hanchuan was unhappy.
But thinking that she was Liu Zhiyi's personal maid and that Liu Zhiyi doted on her very much, she resisted the urge to lose her temper immediately and thought about whether there was anything urgent.
Xia Er was a little nervous. She lowered her head and raised the tray above her head and said,
"My lord, I see you often stay up late and work hard. I'm afraid you're getting sick from overwork, so I took the initiative to go to the kitchen and personally make you a bowl of refreshing soup. Would you like to try it?"
As the woman spoke, she lowered her head shyly, revealing half of her snow-white neck.
Even at this point, if Song Hanchuan still can't see the inner feelings of the other party, then his position as prime minister would be in vain.
His face suddenly darkened and he scolded without mercy.
"No need, go down."
"But……"
"I say, go down."
Song Hanchuan's face was gloomy, and the official authority he exuded was so strong that it made people tremble with fear.
This was the first time Xia'er had seen Song Hanchuan so serious. Before, whenever he was at the mansion, he was always calm and composed, with a cheerful and cheerful demeanor.
This was the first time he spoke so harshly.
Xia'er felt aggrieved, her face flushed instantly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she could only bite her lips tightly, bend down and retreat.
But when she returned to the servants' room, she saw a dark figure sitting on the bed. She was not paying attention and was frightened.
Under the moonlight, Yun'er looked at her coldly, as if she were looking at a traitor.
"You...what are you doing?"
Xia'er felt guilty.
"What?" Yun'er sneered. "I should be the one asking you this question, Xia'er. Why did you sneak out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Xia'er felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and couldn't help but frown.
"What do you mean? Are you interrogating me? Don't forget, you and I are both maids. It's not your turn to meddle in my affairs."
"I'm just reminding you that the Lord and the Lady are deeply in love. I hope you can be more sober and not act recklessly."
"When did I mess around?"
"Also, you said that my Lord and my Lady were deeply in love, but you forgot that my Lady has been gone for almost three years. If she really loved my Lord, why would she leave so suddenly without a word, leaving my Lord heartbroken?"
"You said it was sudden, and Madam must not want to do this. I believe that one day, Madam will come back."
"I know you miss Madam's kindness, and so do I. But it's been three years, and Madam hasn't sent any news. Do you expect me to remain a widow forever for her?"
"I, I didn't think too much about it. I just felt sorry for you, sir..."
Before she could finish her words, Yun'er rushed over and slapped Xia'er hard in the face.
