"I'm fine, smile."
Wei Wei teased him, "Seeing you like this makes me feel uneasy, and I feel a little sorry for you."
So you still know how to feel sorry for someone?
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"When you put yourself in danger, don't you feel any remorse?"
Wei Wei felt a headache coming on as she looked at his petty and calculating manner.
She could only soften her voice and coax him, "I promise I'll never do it again, okay?"
Jiang Yu then let out a sigh.
He looked at her seriously and said, "Remember, nothing and no one is more important than you. No matter what happens, get away from it immediately."
Wei Wei nodded obediently: "I promise there won't be a next time."
Seeing how obedient he was, Jiang Yu's expression relaxed a little.
God knows how panicked he was when he received the news that she had been discovered by the Fifth Prince.
Especially when he couldn't find her and saw the winding trail of blood on the ground, he even had difficulty breathing!
But now, faced with her showing weakness, all the nagging in his heart seemed impossible to utter.
Finding her is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Wei Wei finally mustered up the courage to ask him about his plans for the future.
"The Fifth Prince already knows the secret of the Wei family in Loucheng. Will they be in danger?"
Seeing her tense expression, Jiang Yu sighed again and said, "Yu Qian is one of us, that has never changed."
"His purpose in coming here was nothing more than to lure the Fifth Prince out of the city."
Wei Wei's eyes widened; the plot was so convoluted and confusing that it made her dizzy.
If she had known it would be like this, why would she have risked her life to eavesdrop?
Jiang Yu's eyes also showed apology and lingering fear.
"If I had known you would run into me by such a coincidence, I would have told you about it no matter what."
"Luckily, it ended without any real harm, otherwise what would I have done?"
When he said this, his tone naturally became much lower.
Wei Wei knew that she had been too impulsive this time and almost ruined their plans, and she felt very embarrassed.
She looked at him and asked, "Has the Fifth Prince gone yet?"
Jiang Yu nodded: "When he heard that his third brother had failed because he wasn't there to guard the place, he quickly made up his mind to go to Loucheng to try his luck."
“I’ve arranged assassinations along the way. Let’s see how many guards he needs to bring to arrive safely.”
Wei Wei said, "Regardless of whether the assassination succeeds or not, you should be mentally prepared."
"Make proper arrangements for him while he's away from the capital."
Jiang Yu smiled and patted her head: "I know, don't worry."
Seeing that she looked a little tired, he stood up and said, "You should rest peacefully and not worry about anything anymore."
"I'll take care of everything."
Wei Wei looked up at him seriously and asked, "Aren't you interested in the secrets of Tianxue Mountain?"
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Of course I'm interested, but Third Brother has been investigating for so long and hasn't found anything."
"It's possible that the rumors are just rumors."
Wei Wei shook her head: "It's not a rumor."
Jiang Yu's eyes darkened: "Do you know whose body it is?"
Seeing his tense expression, Wei Wei chuckled: "What? What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yu said, "This thing cannot fall into the hands of any one person."
"If it gets serious, it could plunge the world into chaos!"
How could Wei Wei not know?
She looked at him, her tone becoming very serious: "If we carefully mine it and use it for good, it will only benefit the entire Cang Kingdom."
"Ah Yu, do you perhaps feel that you cannot do it?"
Jiang Yu's gaze grew even more profound.
Wei Wei turned her head and called out, "Little Yue'er."
Xiao Yue'er handed the jade pendant to Wei Wei and then withdrew.
She looked at the unremarkable thing in her hand and put it back into the water.
The same strange figure they had seen before reappeared before them.
"This is the real dragon and phoenix jade pendant; no one would have guessed it."
Finally, she handed it to Jiang Yu: "While the Fifth Prince is away, go and find this secret treasure."
"Whether or not there are really countless treasures inside, you should still go and take a look."
Jiang Yu's eyes surged with emotion, and he suddenly pulled Wei Wei into a tight embrace.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm using a feigned retreat as a tactic to advance?"
His voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed emotions that were difficult to understand.
Wei Wei smiled and said, "I'll take the gamble. Will you let me lose?"
Jiang Yu said, "Unless I die."
Wei Wei's eyes welled up with tears: "I want you to live well, why did you have to mention death?"
She said, "Time waits for no one, let's go quickly."
"However, it hasn't been opened for hundreds of years, so there might be some danger inside."
You must be extremely careful.
Jiang Yu held her tightly for a long time before finally letting go.
"You rest well at the Gu residence, I will return as soon as possible."
"Um."
Jiang Yu's figure completely disappeared from Wei Wei's sight before she closed her eyes wearily.
She once thought that, having been given a second chance at life, she would never again trust anyone so completely.
But that would be far too boring.
Just like her joking remark.
She wanted to take a gamble, and even if she lost, it seemed she hadn't lost anything more.
Are we relying on her to find the hidden treasure?
Stop joking.
Even if we find it, we can't protect it.
As I thought about it, I started to feel a little tired.
She closed her eyes, only to be woken up again by the noise outside.
Xiaoyue rushed in impatiently, her expression extremely excited.
"An imperial edict has arrived from the palace!"
Wei Wei's heart skipped a beat: "An imperial edict has arrived?"
Xiao Yue'er nodded vigorously: "Madam asked me to help Miss go to receive the imperial decree!"
Is it what she thinks?
Wei Wei felt a little unsteady on her feet. She let Xiao Yue'er help her put on the new dress and then helped her out the door.
Just then, they saw Madam Gu and her younger sister walking over from another direction.
Their eyes were smiling, and the young woman whispered, "Congratulations."
Not one to shy away from stirring things up, Ah Yu shouted loudly, "Mother said Auntie has become Auntie, Auntie, don't you think so?"
How could Wei Wei possibly answer that?
Fortunately, his aunt immediately covered his mouth: "Don't say anymore, Auntie is so sorry."
Ah Yu's clear laughter rang out: "Ah Yu won't say anymore! Ah Yu won't say anymore!"
Amidst laughter and chatter, they arrived at the gate of the Gu residence.
The head eunuch's gaze fell on Wei Wei and then returned to her, his voice high-pitched as he announced, "Wei Wei, receive the imperial decree!"
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Now, considering the virtuous and intelligent daughter of the Prime Minister, who is a suitable match for the Crown Prince, she is hereby granted the title of Crown Princess! So be it!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Everyone in the Gu family respectfully called out.
Wei Wei reached out and took the imperial edict with both hands.
