Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C950 950 Holy Spirit Pendant
“This subordinate is fine, thank you, Your Highness.”
“Alright, then let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Because the matter of returning to the capital was extremely urgent, they did not dare delay any further. Seeing that Qi Feng’s situation was not serious, they immediately took action.
In order to speed up, Liu Ruo Qing and Xia Tao Hua rode the same carriage, the others rode on horses as well.
At this time, Liu Ruo Qing thought about the subtle relationship between Xia Tao Hua and herself. She pursed her lips, and tilted her head as though she was thinking of something.
Seeing Xia Tao Hua frowning, a beautiful person would look good doing anything, no wonder a cold and loyal person like Qi Feng would be so “bold” to covet his master’s woman.
At this time, Xia Tao Hua opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside in a daze with worry.
Following her line of sight, he saw that Qi Feng was pulling on the rein with one hand and the other hand was covering the area that Jiang Ling had injured.
She knew that Qi Feng’s palm strike wasn’t light. Although it wasn’t fatal, it was enough to make things difficult for him. However, the matter of returning to the capital was an emergency, so she couldn’t let Qi Feng rest.
Seeing the faint expression of anxiety on Xia Tao Hua’s face, Liu Ruo Qing pursed her slightly dry lips and said: “Looking at Qi Feng’s appearance, it seems that his injuries are quite severe.”
“Hmm?”
Xia Tao Hua regained his senses, his face was in a daze for a moment, and his thick and perky eyelashes trembled slightly.
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing looking at her, as if she was waiting for her answer, she did not think too much into it, and nodded, “Mn, I have some internal injuries.”
Her words were a little understated, but Liu Ruo Qing could still hear some worry in her words.
“When we get to the next town, you go and see him.”
“Hmm?”
Xia Tao Hua was startled once again, he did not understand the meaning behind Liu Ruo Qing’s words. Inwardly, he felt a little guilty, and subconsciously, he wanted to find a reason to explain himself.
Before she could say anything, Liu Ruo Qing said: “Aren’t you a doctor?”
Xia Tao Hua’s face was a little stiff, but after that, he felt that it was funny. He did not know what he was afraid of, and laughed out loud, nodding to Liu Ruo Qing: “En, I will show him later.”
Seeing her suddenly heave a sigh of relief, Liu Ruo Qing felt it was funny that he did not expose her.
As for the matter between her and Yan Yuan, she thought that she would have to seriously ask Yan Yuan about it.
If Yan Yuan really had no intentions to bother Xia Tao Hua, then there was no reason to disturb him.
With that in mind, he headed to the next town and stayed at an inn, planning to rest for the night before leaving.
“An Yu has sent some news over. According to his speed, he should arrive at the Jin Capital around the same time as us.”
Yan Yuan put down the letter in his hand and said to Liu Ruo Qing.
Although An Yu didn’t know why he had to help them, with An Yu here, at least he would be able to let them know where Ye Man was.
Speaking of this, Liu Ruo Qing suddenly thought of the time they met Jiang Ling by the roadside, when he was mumbling something. Immediately, Liu Ruo Qing turned to Jiang Ling and said, “Uncle Jiang, there’s something I forgot to ask you.”
“Please speak, Eldest Miss.”
“When we met you on the road, you were muttering four sentences. Do you remember?”
“Four sentences?”
Jiang Ling’s face revealed some confusion, he looked at Liu Ruo Qing with a doubtful look, “I don’t really remember, please enlighten me, First Miss.”
“Deep within the bones of the dead, in the Tomb of the Dead. The dew of the Goddess, even the bad luck has disappeared.”
When Liu Ruo Qing said these four sentences, she saw that Jiang Ling’s face had started to have a look of understanding, and asked: “Uncle Jiang, do you know what this means?”
Jiang Ling nodded and then shook his head. Liu Ruo Qing was a little baffled by what she saw and frowned in distress. “Uncle Jiang, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?”
“The wife of the crown prince told me these four words.”
Jiang Ling said, “That year, when I brought the second young miss to the capital, the wife asked me to remember these words. She said that when the two young ladies grew up, she would tell them these words. As for what they mean, I don’t know.”
“Madam Crown Prince?”
Liu Ruo Qing knew that the wife that Jiang Ling referred to was her biological mother, but how could the wife know these four words?
Liu Ruo Qing thought about the matter of her blood being able to kill Gu worms, and if his mother knew the runes at the bottom of the seedling grounds, could it be that his mother was also related to the seedling grounds?
Liu Ruo Qing never thought that this matter would be so complicated, she could not find the slightest clue.
Suddenly, Jiang Ling seemed to have thought of something and said, “Right, the wife of the crown prince said that the two ladies’ Holy Spirit Pendants are very important. If one is lost, the other half is meaningless.”
“Holy Spirit Pendant?”
Liu Ruo Qing took off the jade pendant from her body and looked at it carefully. Other than feeling that the jade pendant was extremely bright, she could not see anything else.
Seeing her staring at the jade, Yan Yuan walked to her side and reminded her in a low voice: “Didn’t Uncle Jiang say that if one piece is missing, the other piece would have no meaning? “When we go back, let eighth sister take it and put it back together to see if there’s anything else.”
Because after knowing that the one who exterminated the Jiang Family might not be the Yan family’s royal shadow guard, Yan Yuan’s heart became a lot more relaxed, and even her mood became a lot better.
Even Princess Tian Xin, who he was not familiar with in the capital but could not say that he was not, was able to make him get closer to her and call her “eighth sister”.
If Liu Tian Xin heard this Prince Jing who kept calling her Eighth Sister-in-law suddenly, she would definitely scare her so much that she wouldn’t dare to go out for a few days. She would definitely think that she had seen a ghost.
Liu Ruo Qing thought like that in her heart. Her lips twitched, but she did not mention anything about it, and Yan Yuan’s words reminded her.
Indeed, if he wanted to solve the mystery of these four sentences, he had to return to the capital as soon as possible to get Tian Xin’s Holy Spirit Pendant.
However, the day she met Tian Xin, other than the “Jiang Guo Mansion” that was placed on top of the jade pendant, she did not see anything else. Could it be that they had missed something?
Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips and thought deeply, because she had thought too much, she did not look too well for the past few days, so Yan Yuan was not at ease. At the moment, he did not want her to think too much into it, so she said: “Don’t worry, we will talk after we return to the capital. You should go back to your room and rest first.”
The last half of his words was filled with a domineering air.
Liu Ruo Qing did not persist. She nodded at him, “Alright.”
When Yan Yuan brought him back to his room, Liu Ruo Qing saw Xia Tao Hua standing outside of his room with a hesitant expression.
