Chapter 178 Throwing the Jade Pendant in Anger

The evil monk didn't expect that the two of them were so determined.

He hummed reluctantly for a long time before speaking.

"The jade pendant that the princess wears has an eight-diagram formation carved on it. It is used to calm the soul. Once the white jade turns into blood jade and the blood jade breaks, the soul will be at peace."

Jiang Jiu held the jade pendant and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a phoenix carved on one side and the Bagua diagram on the other.

The evil monk continued, "In fact, the horoscope given by the Sixth Prince indicates that she will be extremely wealthy and destined to be the Queen. The Princess not only took away her body, but also her destiny..."

Zhao Zhuoxi was delighted: "Then I will keep a close eye on you. When the white jade becomes blood jade, I will smash the blood jade into pieces with my own hands. From now on, this body will be yours..."

Suddenly, Jiang Jiu remembered the time she left this body.

"That's not right. I was living well in this body before, why did I leave it suddenly?"

The evil monk continued to explain, "Because of this kind of jade pendant, I made two. Once the white jade is about to turn into blood jade, I will change the other one, and the soul will leave the body. When you wear the jade pendant, the soul will return."

"This was what the Sixth Prince requested at the time. He was not very willing for Madam's soul to truly return. He only needed Madam's wealth and secrets. Once his goal was achieved, Madam's soul would disappear into thin air."

Zhao Zhuoxi understood and sent the evil monk away. Jiang Jiu knew that this man would not survive.

It's just that this kind of magic of calming souls, replacing souls, and resurrecting corpses is too bizarre.

Jiang Jiu still found it a little unbelievable.

Is ancient metaphysics so magical? The end of science is indeed metaphysics.

When only Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu were left in the study.

Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly felt powerless and hugged Jiang Jiu tightly, as if he was holding a lost treasure.

"Sixth Brother is the one who truly understands me. He has a hold on my weak spots. He is truly a scary person..."

Jiang Jiu also sighed: "I really didn't expect that Zhao Zhuoran, who looks gentle and elegant, has so many calculations in his heart. Is it possible that my grandmother's death and my mother's death are related to him? Now that he holds military power, it would be easy for him to fight back..."

Zhao Zhuoxi sighed: "Don't worry about that. When my brother invited me to play chess in the palace a while ago, I had already asked Lu Ming and Lu An to transfer 30,000 soldiers from Suzhou to the capital."

"Five thousand elite soldiers will be stationed in the imperial palace's imperial guards, five thousand will be stationed in the capital's Shenjiying, ten thousand will be stationed in the military patrol camp, and the remaining ten thousand will be stationed in the suburbs of the capital."

"As long as there is any disturbance, at least the capital is safe."

It turned out that Zhao Zhuoxi had already made all the arrangements without realizing it.

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips: "No wonder the money in your account is consumed so quickly. It doesn't matter. I will let Xiao Yimo transfer the money to your account. In addition, you can go directly to the bank and withdraw the money in my name. The seal is with you, you know..."

Zhao Zhuoxi buried himself completely in Jiang Jiu's arms.

"Of course I knew, but I didn't have the heart to think about it at that time. After you left, I felt that everything I had done was meaningless. I even thought about giving up and disbanding the army on the spot..."

"Fortunately, the evil monk still had some skills. I was not going to kill him at first, but he was too evil, so I killed An Xin anyway."

Jiang Jiu did not stop it. When Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars, all that was burned were various evil techniques. Emperor Wu of Han drove all the alchemists out of Yumen Pass because he was afraid that these evil spirits would interfere with normal people's lives.

It is still a blessing that Jiang Jiu was able to revive through the use of a corpse.

There is no such thing as going to hell after death. She will just live a good life like Zhao Zhuoxi, not caring about death or the afterlife.

In the next few days, Zhao Zhuoxi stayed with Jiang Jiu and occasionally talked to Madam Su and Su Rui.

That day, Jiang Jiu woke up and found that the jade pendant she was wearing was almost turning red.

Suddenly, I heard from the servants that Princess Zhaoyang had arrived.

Jiang Jiu quickly pretended to be Su Man and welcomed Princess Zhaoyang.

As soon as Princess Zhaoyang entered the room, she pulled Jiang Jiu directly into the inner room.

"What's going on? Where's your jade pendant?"

Before Jiang Jiu could react, the red jade pendant had already been snatched away by Princess Zhaoyang.

Jiang Jiu felt dizzy and fell off Su Man's body again.

Look at Princess Zhaoyang again, she puts a white jade pendant in Suman's hand.

"Don't fill it up again. Be strong-willed. Don't let that woman take your body away. Xuanwu Immortal is gone. If that woman really takes your body away, you won't be able to come back. Your soul will dissipate and you won't even have the chance to reincarnate."

I don’t know how Suman woke up, but at this moment, it was indeed Suman in this body.

Su Man nodded slowly and put the jade pendant back under the pillow.

Jiang Jiu was anxious because she couldn't go back, but the evil monk didn't say that he had two such jade pendants.

No, he said.

When they said that, both Zhao Zhuoxi and she thought that the other jade pendant was on Zhao Zhuoran, who was in the border area, far away from the capital.

But no one would have thought that the jade pendant was on Princess Zhaoyang.

Just like that, Zhao Zhuoxi came back soon and paid his respects to Princess Zhaoyang.

With just one glance, Zhao Zhuoxi knew that the princess was Suman, not his Jiang Jiu.

He continued to act calmly, but as soon as Princess Zhaoyang left, Zhao Zhuoxi's expression changed.

He grabbed Su Man's arm and searched her body thoroughly, but did not find the jade pendant.

"Where's the jade pendant? Where's the jade pendant you were wearing?"

Su Man was not a stupid person. She quickly realized that she and Jiang Jiu were different after all, but she was still seen through by Zhao Zhuoxi.

"Does the prince know the secret of the jade pendant?"

Zhao Zhuoxi snorted coldly and pinched Su Man's neck with his big hands.

"There is nothing that I cannot find out as long as I want to know. You used her soul to deceive my favor. You should know who I truly love. You are not worthy of being my princess. Hand over the jade pendant..."

Su Man was furious: "Why am I unworthy? If the emperor hadn't asked me to surprise you, you wouldn't have woken up. My jade pendant has the effect of calming the soul. If it weren't for this jade pendant, the prince would still not have woken up."

Zhao Zhuoxi was so sad that his soul actually left his body and he suffered from dissociative disorder.

I didn’t expect that he was able to wake up because of the effect of Suman’s jade pendant.

"So what? You are you, she is she. It's not you that I want..."

Zhao Zhuoxi pinched Su Man's neck, holding her breath until she was about to suffocate. Su Man endured the pain and said, "Let me go, I'll get it..."

Only then did Zhao Zhuoxi let her go.

Following Suman into the inner room, I saw Suman taking out the jade pendant from under the pillow.

Zhao Zhuoxi immediately understood that the other jade pendant was not in Zhao Zhuoran's hand, but in Princess Zhaoyang's hand.

And just now Princess Zhaoyang came to give her the jade pendant.

When Jiang Jiu stayed in her body for a long time, the jade pendant turned red. After leaving her body, the red faded and the jade pendant turned white.

As long as the jade pendant does not turn red, the resurrection technique will not succeed.

Just when Zhao Zhuoxi was about to snatch the jade pendant, he suddenly saw Su Man, raised his hand, and threw it to the ground.

With a "pop" sound, the jade pendant fell to pieces...
