Kill me if you can. (End)
Shen Tang could only close her eyes and cough a few times. She covered her face with her hands and said in a pinched voice, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm not feeling well and I have an old illness. I'm afraid I can't take you to see the palace. When my brother comes back in a while, he will be happy to take you to visit the mansion."
Shen Tang deliberately coughed as if she wanted to cough out her lungs, and breathed in big gulps. When she seemed about to pass out, Lu Ya saw her signal and hurriedly led her into the house.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, the young lady is weak. If you really want someone to take you to visit the Jiang Mansion, I can take you around the mansion," the servant hurriedly smoothed things over for the two of them, leaving Murong Jin with only a look of regret.
"Has your young lady always lived in this courtyard?" Murong Jin asked.
The servant could only answer honestly: "Yes, it's just that the young lady has been sick since she was young, so the old man kept her at home all year round to recuperate."
Seeing that Murong Jin wanted to ask something, the servant immediately found an excuse that it was not appropriate to stay there and hurriedly led the person towards the main hall.
With Jiang Mo going home to take care of the affairs of the Medicine Pavilion, the old man of the Jiang family had a rare moment of leisure at home. Before he could even drink a few sips of the tea he had brewed, he heard someone shouting that the Third Prince was here again, and Father Jiang was forced to leave the stool that he had just warmed up and go forward to greet him.
Jiang's father originally thought that Murong Jin came to discuss the affairs of the court, but he only briefly mentioned the current situation of the emperor and then turned the topic to the young girl in the remote courtyard of the Jiang family.
"Your Highness, have you seen my daughter?" Father Jiang's heart suddenly rose. He tensed his body and stared at the person in front of him. However, the other party did not notice his abnormality. Instead, he asked about Shen Tang's birth date with a slightly blushing face.
"What do you mean?" Jiang's father's face gradually darkened. Yun Sheng had just left, and Murong Jin came the next. Her daughter was really a popular commodity. Even after changing her status, she was still being remembered by these two people.
Murong Jin coughed softly and said, "Master Jiang, as you know, my brother Mo and I have always had a very good relationship."
"Let me put it this way. I fell in love with your daughter at first sight."
Father Jiang:?!
Father Jiang almost spilled the brewed tea. He stood there for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, please stop joking. My daughter is weak and sickly. How can she be worthy of your daughter?"
"No problem, I will ask the best doctor in the world to treat her, and she will definitely be cured of her illness!"
Father Jiang broke out in a cold sweat. If his daughter really had feelings for the Third Prince, why would she wait until today? Her feelings for the man from Qianji Pavilion were obviously beyond the ordinary. If he forcibly separated the two of them, I'm afraid Tangtang would hate him for the rest of her life.
"Your Majesty, I still need to ask my daughter's opinion on this matter. I will send someone to inform you immediately when I get a reply."
Father Jiang wiped his sweat and quickly placed the freshly brewed tea beside Murong Jin. Murong Jin did not expect an immediate answer. After hearing Father Jiang's answer, he nodded with satisfaction and then talked to him about the business in the court.
Murong Jin stayed at the Jiang family for several hours. If Jiang's father had not found an excuse to send this person away, Murong Jin might have spent the night at the Jiang family.
On the other side, Shen Tang was restless after returning to the house, always feeling that something bad was going to happen. Sure enough, when she met her father at dinner time, he gave her a bolt from the blue.
"What, you said Murong Jin wants to marry me?" Shen Tang almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "Dad, you are not mistaken, my daughter has no other intentions towards His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" Before the real Jiang Mo came back, Murong Jin only came into contact with her as a man, how could he fall in love with her at first sight? Is Murong Jin crazy?
If Murong Jin married her, what would Yun Sheng do? She didn't like Murong Jin, so how could she marry him?
"Isn't this what you want?" A voice came from behind Shen Tang, startling him so much that he took several steps back and almost bumped into the corner of the table.
Yun Sheng's figure slowly walked out from the darkness, and his gray eyes looked at her calmly.
It turned out that Yun Sheng had been staying in the mansion all the time, but he just didn't appear in her sight.
"Aren't you still in love with the Third Prince?" Yun Sheng said sourly, his palms unconsciously clenched into fists. He slowly turned his head and spoke as if he didn't care, "I know you don't want to be the wife of Qianji Pavilion because you have someone else in your heart. I won't force you. If you really want to go with him, I won't stop you."
The man's tone was not very good, as if he had drunk a pound of vinegar. In his opinion, Tangtang would often be in a daze when she was with him, as if she was missing someone, and that person was probably Murong Jin.
Yun Sheng curled his lips in sarcasm, turned his back to Shen Tang and sulked. Yes, they had been together for so long, it was normal for him to have a place in his heart for the other. He was asking for too much, so how could he be unwilling?
Seeing Yun Sheng was about to leave after saying that, Shen Tang quickly took three or two steps forward and hugged his waist, knocking his head heavily on his back, "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't like Murong Jin at all, how many times do you want me to say it!"
Yun Shenghe vented his grievances in one go, "But you always ask about him. You care about his life and whether he is injured. You are curious about everything about him but never about me. How can you make me believe that you don't like him?"
Shen Tang silently thought that it was all for the mission in the world. If she didn't help Murong Jin, once Murong Wu ascended the throne, with his personality, he would not let Qianji Pavilion have a good life. However, Shen Tang naturally couldn't say these words to Yun Sheng. She just hugged Yun Sheng tightly and didn't let him leave.
"Whether you believe it or not, I said I don't like it and that means I don't like it. How can I go with Murong Jin?"
After pulling for a while, the girl suddenly let go and stood in front of Yun Sheng with her arms outstretched. Her clear eyes were full of stubbornness and she said what she had been too embarrassed to say.
"The person I like has never been him," Shen Tang said, mustering up the courage to reach out and pull the person in front of him towards him, and slowly pressed his lips against the other's thin lips.
"Do you understand now?" Shen Tang quickly pushed the person away in panic. Really, she had sold enough of her sex life here.
Yun Sheng, who had been eager to leave just now, now stood there blankly. He slowly touched his lips with his hand, and his dull eyes suddenly lit up.
"So, the person you've always liked is really me?"
Yun Sheng was lost in thought for a moment, and glanced secretly in the direction of Shen Tang again. If the person Tangtang has always liked is him, then everything Murong Jin did was just wishful thinking?
Thinking of this, his expression involuntarily became much happier, and he took the initiative to hold Shen Tang's hand.
"That's more like it," he hummed, leaning forward slightly and resting his head on the girl's shoulder, "Murong Jin is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat." No matter whether Murong Jin is the third prince or the crown prince, he doesn't want to give Tangtang to that guy.
Father Jiang, who had been subconsciously ignored by the two for a long time, finally coughed twice, which attracted their attention.
"You," Father Jiang tapped Shen Tang's head helplessly, "Luckily your father knew about your relationship with this boy and didn't let the Third Prince find a chance to get engaged, otherwise you would have cried."
Shen Tang, who realized belatedly that he still had a cheap father, smiled awkwardly, but his fingertips had already tightly grasped Yun Sheng's hand. After knowing Yun Sheng's identity, Jiang's father did not object to the two of them being together, but now Murong Jin has interfered and made things difficult. Fortunately, the Jiang family has many kinds of medicines. If they want to reject this marriage and stay away from the royal sight, the best way is to fake their death.
"Tangtang, don't worry, I will explain to the Third Prince. I still have the doctor's instructions. But if you really want to do this, you may not be able to stay in the capital." Jiang's father thought carefully for a long time and told Shen Tang the pros and cons of this method. There are spies everywhere in the capital, and the risk of being discovered if he stays here is too great. If he really sends his little daughter away, he doesn't know when he will see her again.
"Dad, have you told my sister about this?" Shen Tang pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Yun Sheng. The mission in this world was almost completed, so it would be nice to spend the rest of the time with Yun Sheng. She didn't want to get involved in Murong Jin and Jiang Mo's affairs anymore.
"In my opinion, let's do it this way. I will take a drug that will make me fake my death in a few days, and let Yun Sheng escort me out of the capital. Then I will change my name and disappear from the Third Prince's sight, and I will be able to get rid of this marriage," Shen Tang smiled at her adopted father. The past that she had seen in the mirror would never happen again. Her adopted father would not live a lonely life, and he would be able to come to see his daughter whenever he missed her. Perhaps this was the most appropriate way.
Father Jiang saw that his daughter had made up her mind, so he stopped trying to persuade her. He hurriedly left the house where Shen Tang was to prepare for the next few days and the things to be prepared for after Shen Tang left.
A few days later, the Jiang family held a funeral ceremony. Murong Jin, who was far away in the palace, did not expect that he would not wait for the other party's reply, but waited for the woman's death. When he finished his work and left, the Jiang family was about to send the best carriages and horses to escort the corpse out of the capital and bury the body in a beautiful place. When asked where, Jiang Lao just answered that it depends on fate. Wherever there is spiritual energy, they will bury the body there, maybe a few days, maybe a few months.
The coffin lid was tightly closed. Murong Jin took two or three steps forward and wanted to take another look at the person under the coffin, but a hand behind him immediately stopped him.
When he turned around, it was Jiang Mo who stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him. Murong Jin realized that something was wrong and took his hand back. He looked at the person next to him again. It was the same face, but it seemed that something was different.
"Your Highness, I am extremely grateful for your visit. But my sister is not worthy of your kindness. Now I am looking for a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury her. Maybe she can be married into a good family in the next life. Please don't disturb her again." Jiang Mo's action discouraged Murong Jin from seeing her off. After the carriage had gone far away, she took a few steps back without leaving any trace.
"It's really fate that plays tricks on me." Looking at the team going away, Murong Jin sighed. The palpitations he had when he was with Jiang Mo had made him misunderstand his true orientation. When he saw the young lady from the Jiang family, he had some thoughts, but during this period of time with Brother Mo, that kind of palpitation seemed to have disappeared.
Maybe God doesn't approve of this marriage.
Murong Jin did not suspect that there was something strange about this, but he felt sorry that such a beautiful woman had been damaged like this, and the delusion in his heart could only dissipate with her departure. He shook his head, and soon, with the help of his personal guards, he took the carriage back to the palace and continued to prepare for the future appointment of the crown prince.
As for Shen Tang, who had faked his death and left the city, he was soon taken away from the funeral carriage by Yun Sheng, and after waking up, he went out to play. Shen Tang was naturally very happy to finally get rid of all the troubles and have a handsome man by her side. The two of them traveled around for decades, and Jiang Mo worked hard to run the medicine pavilion in Beijing during this period. After running the medicine pavilion for several years, he chose to resign from his official position and leave Beijing like his father, and went to the countryside to live a peaceful life.
Shen Tang and his wife occasionally met at a place agreed with Jiang's father and elder sister. Over the years, they had never grown apart even though they were thousands of miles apart. Yun Sheng was just as he had said before. He followed Shen Tang wherever he wanted to go. Occasionally, he would return to Qianji Pavilion to take care of things and then hurried back to Shen Tang's side. Jiang's father felt that he had made the right choice.
The only strange thing is that Yun Sheng's remaining bias has not decreased at all over the years. I wonder if it is because Shen Tang always treats Yun Sheng as someone familiar. It's not that she can't tell the difference between people, but some of Yun Sheng's actions are too similar to the person in her memory, so that when she occasionally stares at him in a trance, he will torture her like a jealous person. In this world, Shen Tang changed Yun Sheng's previous ending. He no longer guards the grave, but accompanies Shen Tang to live until he is forty years old.
On Shen Tang's 40th birthday, a sudden illness took both of them away. However, only Yun Sheng knew that it was the light that appeared out of nowhere that fulfilled its promise. When the two lights and shadows left the world, the bias on Yun Sheng's panel finally cleared to zero.
