The weather has been cold lately, and going out is quite a hardship, but he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't have time to talk to him about these things. She pulled him down to sit and said urgently, "I have a huge clue!"
She quickly recounted the story of the twin jades, which helped Lu Baichuan quickly sort out his thoughts. His first words were, "So, I can go with you to that world to save your friend!"
Lu Baichuan's tone was excited. He knew that his wife had been looking for a way to go back to him recently, and he was very reluctant to part with her. However, he knew that he could not keep her, and his friend Ruozheng had suffered a lot for his wife, so he could not turn a blind eye.
He couldn't go to rescue people, so he would take care of things here and not worry his wife. As for whether he could come back, he didn't dare to think about it. He would just keep waiting.
But now we've received news that the Twin Jade allows people to travel between different worlds, which is very interesting. It means he can go too, and fighting alongside his wife is his long-cherished wish.
Seeing how agitated he was, Jiang Jiuniang looked somewhat embarrassed. She didn't want to hurt him, but she still said cruelly, "No, I can go back by myself. In case those people betray us, you must stay here and protect the children and your family."
Of course, the island nation and Dongting are currently restless, and Xiteng and Nantai are not much better off. If Lu Baichuan leaves, trouble could easily occur. He must stay here so that Jiang Jiuniang can feel at ease.
Lu Baichuan's smile froze for a moment, a little disappointed, but he knew his wife was right, so he said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here. But how do we use this Twin Jade?"
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head; she didn't know either. She simply tried to contact the jade pendants: "We're already together. Senior, could you give us some guidance?"
Soon, another line of small text appeared before them: Only when the blood of two people is fused can the Twin Jade be summoned.
Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan exchanged a glance. Without any hesitation, Jiang Jiuniang pulled out a dagger and slashed her wrist. She did the same to Lu Baichuan's wrist, and blood quickly flowed out. Jiang Jiuniang used her injured hand to pull Lu Baichuan back, and their blood mingled together, instantly emitting a golden light.
The wounds gradually healed, and then a pair of twin jade pieces appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.
Before the two could make a move, the jade stone split in two again, falling into their hands.
This time it's a physical object; you can touch it, and the jade pendant is slightly warm.
The smaller text reappears: On the night of the full moon each month, one can travel to any time and any world. Every year, the two parties holding the jade must meet once in the same world and time to strengthen their connection. Otherwise, they will lose their signal to each other, the jade pendant will dim, the jade pendant will lose its function, separate from the human body, and fall into a new slumber.
Seeing the end, Jiang Jiuniang finally felt relieved; she would be able to return home on the night of the full moon.
Ruozheng, wait for me.
The small characters gradually disappeared, and the two jade tablets returned to their bodies. Everything around them returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
After checking that everything was packed, Jiang Jiuniang said to Lu Baichuan, "Now that it's confirmed, I'll head back first. There are still many things to arrange."
She got up, waved, and was about to leave when Lu Baichuan nodded and followed her out. Jiang Jiuniang was curious, so he replied, "I'll take you back."
Jiang Jiuniang: ...
She said with a hint of disdain, "There's no need for that. You've been working hard lately, and it's getting late. You should get some rest and not keep running around."
Of course she knew that Lu Baichuan wanted to spend more time with her, but it came at the cost of his rest time, so Jiang Jiuniang felt it wasn't worth it.
With the help of the Twin Jade, she can come and go freely and will naturally be safe. Once she rescues Ruozheng, she will return.
There's plenty of time in the future, so there's no need to do so many things that harm your health now.
Lu Baichuan was stopped from going forward and could only watch Jiang Jiuniang ride away from the tent entrance.
The subordinates beside him felt a bit disgusted by their general's reluctant expression. This couple had been married for so long, yet they were still so affectionate; it was truly unsettling.
After Jiang Jiuniang returned home, she began to arrange things at home, from household matters to business, and also to Jiang Ruoya's side, leaving no detail unattended.
The elderly Sun family prepared a batch of health-preserving pills in advance, and meticulously instructed Lianhua and Lu Xiaoyang on all business matters. They even personally went to the palace to check the pulses of the Emperor and Empress, and visited Mr. Kang's family to see Mrs. Kang and her unborn child. Only after confirming that everyone was well did they feel relieved.
After a few busy days, Jiang Jiuniang called Gou'er to her side again and told him about her itinerary.
"Son, your mother has to leave for a while, maybe a month or two, or even three or four months. Your mother is going to rescue a very good friend. She has been tortured to the point of near death because of your mother, so your mother has to go. You and your father must take good care of your sister and make sure no one discovers her secret. Make sure she takes a cold bath every night, okay?"
Jiang Jiuniang looked into the dog's eyes and spoke very seriously.
She didn't treat the dog like a child, but as her most trusted companion, so naturally she told him everything.
The dog nodded seriously, then asked, "Will Mother come back? Will she come back safely?"
He suppressed his sadness and the urge to cry, forcing himself to act like a sensible little adult.
Actually, ever since his mother started acting like she was making arrangements for her own funeral, he had a bad feeling. He always felt that his mother was about to leave him, otherwise she wouldn't have made so many arrangements. But he didn't dare to ask his mother for the reason himself. Unexpectedly, his mother spoke up herself.
Upon hearing the news that his mother was leaving, his heart clenched. He knew that his mother's departure was not an ordinary one, but rather a return to her original place.
Yes, he had long suspected that his mother was not from this world.
When he was younger, he thought his mother was a fairy, and fairies could do anything. But recently, a lot of things have happened. Various forces around him are intertwined and openly or secretly causing trouble for his mother. Moreover, Xun Yi's appearance has confirmed his guess.
He could accept all of this calmly, because no matter where his mother came from, she was still his mother. But he couldn't accept her leaving, which was too cruel for him.
Hearing his question, Jiang Jiuniang immediately smiled and said, "Of course I have to come back! You're all here, where else can your mother go if she doesn't come back?"
As for whether she can return safely, as long as Lu Baichuan is alive here, she will have the chance to come back.
With my medical skills, I can heal even if I get injured, so it's not a big deal.
Now we'll see how far those lunatics can go; hopefully things aren't as outrageous as she imagines.
As she spoke, she patted her son's head, her smile incredibly gentle.
