Master Jingkong slowly opened his eyes.
The bright yellow candlelight shone on his face, making his already kind expression even softer.
"You're here."
"Master knows how to remove the curse from her. Please tell me."
There was affirmation in Lechen's tone. He put his hands together and bowed to Master Jingkong, waiting for his answer.
"To remove the curse from the princess, the lovers must draw their heart's blood on their wedding night and drop a drop of it into the wedding wine. Once the princess drinks it, the curse will dissipate."
The moment Lechen came to him, Master Jingkong knew the time had come, so he told Lechen the method to remove the curse from Jiang Jingyu.
Wedding night, heart bleeding.
Liaochen kept Master Jingkong's words in mind. After learning the method to exorcise the curse for Jiang Jingyu, he bowed to Master Jingkong again.
"Disciple understands."
The moment he looked up, Liaochen made a decision in his heart. He looked at Master Jingkong in front of him seriously and said, "Master, I want to go down the mountain."
"The carriage is ready for you, go ahead."
When Jiang Jingyu left today, he came to Master Jingkong and said goodbye to him. Master Jingkong knew that Chen would come to find him sooner or later, so as soon as Jiang Jingyu left, he asked someone to prepare a carriage for him.
"Thank you, Master."
This time, Lechen turned around without any hesitation. As he stepped out of the room, he heard the voice of Master Jingkong behind him.
"Before the princess reaches the age of 15, she must remain in the Fo'an Temple for meditation. She can only leave after she has safely passed the age of 15."
Lechen paused, then stepped out of the room.
Just as Master Jingkong said, the carriage was ready. When Liaochen arrived at the gate of Fo'an Temple, the coachman sitting in front of the carriage jumped off and walked towards him.
"Master Liaochen, please mount your horse."
The coachman made a gesture of invitation, and Liaochen followed his movement and walked to the front of the carriage, but did not get on. Instead, he untied the reins that were tied to the horse.
The driver asked in confusion, "What's this, Master Liaochen?"
"The carriage is too slow, so I'll ride on horseback."
Liaochen explained lightly, then walked to the other side and untied the rope connecting the horse's neck to the carriage.
"ah?"
The driver thought there was something wrong with his ears, because Master Jingkong clearly told him that Master Lechen couldn't ride a horse!
In the moment when the coachman was stunned, Lechen untied all the reins. He grabbed the saddle with both hands and stepped on the stirrups with clumsy movements.
My foot slipped and I almost fell off the stirrup!
"Ouch, Master Liaochen, be careful!"
The driver finally believed what Master Jingkong said. Master Lechen didn't know how to ride a horse at all!
In the end, the coachman supported Lachen's body and he was able to sit on the horse smoothly.
"Master Liaochen, how about letting me give you a ride?"
The driver stood in front of the horse, looked up at Lechen, and made a suggestion to him.
Liaochen remained calm and said, "No need."
After saying that, he grabbed the reins and swung them violently: "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the horse jumped out in an instant. The driver was choked by mud and dust. He quickly took two steps back and looked forward while covering his nose.
The horse ran very fast in the night, but its butt kept twisting here and there, which looked very creepy.
The driver shook his head, bowed with both hands, and bowed in the direction where Liaochen left: "Amitabha, Master Liaochen, may you wish for the best."
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, the driver was certain that people who rode horses for the first time would fall countless times on the road.
Lechen did fall many times and fell heavily from the horse's back countless times, but he ignored the pain, got up and climbed back on the horse again without slowing down at all.
The other side.
Jiang Jingyu sat in the carriage and did not stop to rest. He continued on his way at a steady pace. The speed of the carriage was not even as fast as walking.
Two secret guards followed on horseback on both sides, stopping and starting to match the speed of the carriage.
The two looked at each other and hesitated before speaking, "We've been traveling all day. Princess, would you like to stop and rest for a night?"
"No."
Jiang Jingyu's voice was unusually clear, without any hint of sleepiness.
"yes."
Following the princess' order, the two secret guards had no choice but to continue moving forward at a snail's pace.
Ever since they left the Fo'an Temple, the princess had ordered them to travel slowly. They had been walking for a whole day and had just left the territory of the Fo'an Temple.
After a while, Jiang Jingyu suddenly said, "Speed up."
The two secret guards were startled and quickly whipped the horses' backs. The carriage, which was originally moving at a snail's pace, suddenly ran wildly in the night, and the neighing of the horses echoed throughout the night sky.
But a carriage could not run as fast as a single horse, and Lechen behind it quickly caught up and blocked the carriage where Jiang Jingyu was.
"Yu——"
The secret guard pulled the reins suddenly, forcing the carriage to stop.
"What happened?"
Jiang Jingyu's voice came from the carriage.
The two secret guards looked at Liaochen who was blocking the carriage. Just as they were about to speak, Liaochen said, "Princess."
Jiang Jingyu pulled open the curtain of the sedan chair and was stunned when she saw Chen. Then the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, her eyes became cold, and there was a hint of alienation on her face.
"What is Master Liaochen doing here?"
Looking at the alienation on Jiang Jingyu's face, Lechen's heart suddenly tightened.
"The curse in the princess' body has not been removed yet. She cannot leave yet. I will come to take her back."
Lechen looked straight at Jiang Jingyu. He looked haggard after not eating, drinking or sleeping for three days, but his eyes were shining brightly in the moonlight.
"No need. Whether the curse in my body is resolved or not is my own business. It has nothing to do with Master Liaochen, so please don't bother with me."
After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, she lowered the curtain in her hand, blocking Lechen's sight.
"Continue the journey back to the palace."
"yes."
The secret guard agreed and was about to ride the horse forward, but Lechen stood in front of the carriage and did not move at all.
Lechen dismounted from the horse and walked towards the carriage step by step.
"The curse within the princess' body has not yet been lifted. If she leaves the Fogan Temple, her life will be in danger at any time. Be obedient and follow me back."
Lechen walked to the front of the carriage and stopped, then extended his hand in front of Jiang Jingyu through the curtain.
