Chapter 619: Chapter 619 Favor

Inside the room.

The Old Prince lay on the bed.

His face was pale, his eyes tightly shut.

Traces of blood were faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.

Su Jin took the Old Prince’s pulse and said, "It was caused by a sudden rush of anger leading to vomiting blood; he needs rest and tranquility."

Su Jin felt that whether she explained the symptoms or not would make no difference.

Anyone could guess why the Old Prince vomited blood.

Just resting quietly might not be possible.

The Old Madam’s actions even made an outsider like her furious, let alone the Old Prince.

The Elder Aunt’s eyes were swollen from crying.

Her heart was wrenched.

She wiped away her tears and called Mrs. Wang aside to ask, "All these years, you never suspected the Old Madam. Why...?"

Mrs. Wang felt guilty towards the Elder Aunt, so she answered whatever the Elder Aunt asked, even if her weak body couldn’t hold on.

The first time she thought the Old Madam had changed was when the Old Madam swallowed the pill that had fallen on the ground.

Then she instructed Mrs. Li to steal Lady Chi’s cream.

Also, to expose the Heir’s wife’s medical skills, she wanted to poison the cousin girl...

Upon hearing this, the Elder Aunt trembled all over, and the tears wouldn’t stop.

Young Master Qu held his mother and said, "Mother, let me help you back to the mansion first."

Mrs. Wang looked at Su Jin.

She only suspected the Old Madam had changed.

But never suspected the Old Madam had actually been replaced.

Who could have thought that someone would plan such a switch, secretly replacing the person using a soft sedan?

It was the Heir’s wife who instilled such suspicion in her.

She could react promptly because of it.

But considering Su Jin, Mrs. Wang refrained from speaking.

The Heir’s wife was kind-hearted; if not for her, the Prince Zhenbei Mansion now...

Would have been under the control of the Old Madam and Princess Nanzhang.

She was her benefactor and even a benefactor to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Mrs. Wang’s body swayed, and Hongxiu supported her.

Su Jin said, "First, take Mrs. Wang back to Agarwood Pavilion."

The Old Prince needed rest; she left pills for the Old Prince and could do no more than this. Beyond this, she couldn’t help.

Xie Jingchen went back to Agarwood Pavilion with her.

Xingxing followed them.

As they neared Agarwood Pavilion’s door, Xingxing exclaimed.

Su Jin looked at her, "What’s wrong?"

"The Unity Jade that Princess Beimo gifted you was left at Qihao Hall."

"I’ll go get it."

Xingxing turned and ran towards Qihao Hall.

Fearing someone might take it away, Xingxing ran quickly.

She came back before Su Jin could finish her tea.

Xingxing wiped sweat from her forehead, panting, "Luckily, Princess Beimo saved Mrs. Wang, what she gifted must be something good."

She handed the brocade box to Su Jin.

Su Jin hadn’t really examined the Unity Jade given by Princess Beimo.

Princess Beimo intended to save it for herself; it surely wouldn’t be lacking.

The brocade box contained a whole piece of jade.

Su Jin truly didn’t understand why this jade was called Unity Jade.

The jade carving was exquisite, and upon closer inspection, it revealed that the jade could be separated.

Su Jin gently twisted it.

The jade split into two.

One piece slightly smaller, probably meant for women to wear.

The other, larger, Su Jin looked at it and casually handed it to Xie Jingchen.

Xie Jingchen was about to lift his tea cup when Su Jin handed him the jade, so he took it.

As soon as he held it, he felt something drop from the jade into his palm.

When he looked, there was nothing visible.

Then he heard Xingxing scream, "There’s a bug!"

Su Jin also felt something crawling on the back of her hand and threw the jade away in fright.

"Where’s the bug?" Xie Jingchen asked.

"I-I think it drilled into the back of the girl’s hand," Xingxing’s voice trembled.

It was terrifying!

Su Jin was horrified.

"It’s because of this jade pendant."

Su Jin wanted to cry; what exactly did Princess Beimo give her?

She gifted her a Luminous Pearl, surely not to repay kindness with malice?

Su Jin checked her pulse, but found nothing.

But her entire body felt feverish, her heart increasingly anxious, like being teased by thousands of feathers, unable to scratch, almost driving her mad.

Xie Jingchen also felt uncomfortable, his blood boiling as if he was about to explode.

He called the Hidden Guard inside, "Catch up with Princess Beimo and ask her what’s the matter with this Unity Jade?"

"I’m on it."

The Hidden Guard didn’t dare delay and jumped out the window.

Xingxing looked at Su Jin, then at Xie Jingchen, seeing both their faces turning red like monkey’s butts, her heart shook nervously, "Girl, are you and sir going to be alright?"

"You go out first," Xie Jingchen’s voice was hoarse and his breath quickened.

Xingxing hurriedly went out.

After stepping through the beaded curtain, she glanced back.

Only to see the girl fling herself into the sir’s arms.

Xingxing, "..."

She covered her face.

The girl was too impatient.

She finally couldn’t help but resort to brute force.

...

The Hidden Guard galloped straight out of the palace.

Princess Beimo and others were on their way back to Beimo from the capital.

The journey wasn’t fast, but they had been on the road for a full two hours.

Afraid of accidents, the Hidden Guard used urgent speed to catch up with Princess Beimo.

Upon catching up, the Hidden Guard tightened the reins, nearly falling off the horse.

The Prince Beimo recognized him, as he was always by Xie Jingchen’s side.

"You chased so urgently; is there a problem?" the Prince Beimo asked.

The Hidden Guard bowed to the Prince Beimo, "I have been ordered to seek Princess Jing Mountain to inquire about the Unity Jade."

Princess Beimo lifted the carriage curtain, "What’s wrong?"

The Hidden Guard approached and asked, "Why are there bugs in the Unity Jade?"

Bugs?

"Those are Gu worms," said Princess Beimo.

"Unity Gu."

"..."

The Hidden Guard’s mouth twitched.

"Why hide Gu worms in the jade?" the Hidden Guard’s voice wavered.

"Because it contained the Unity Gu, so it’s called Unity Jade," Princess Beimo explained.

"My mother worried that I’d suffer misfortune marrying away, so she specifically spent a huge amount to buy Unity Gu from Southern Border People."

"It’s said that if the possessor of Unity Gu dies, the other person won’t survive beyond seven days."

The Hidden Guard, "..."

The Beimo Empress was protective of her daughter.

So many princesses marrying away became sacrifices; she didn’t want her daughter to be one too.

With Unity Gu, even if not favored after marrying, life dependency would force proper care.

Unity Gu fit Princess Beimo, but it was inappropriate for others, right?

Thinking about Xie Jingchen and Su Jin unknowingly falling prey to the parasite, the Hidden Guard asked, "Can Unity Gu be neutralized?"

"Of course not," Princess Beimo said.

"Live or die together, isn’t that moving? Why neutralize it?"

"..."

"Then why does the parasite cause fever throughout the body?" the Hidden Guard asked again.

Princess Beimo was perplexed.

Mother never mentioned such a situation.

Just said, after the marriage, to give the other half of Unity Jade to the future husband.

Could Mother have been deceived?

Did someone sell counterfeit Gu?

Would there be concerns about survival?

Princess Beimo worried.

The Prince Beimo covered his mouth and lightly coughed.

The Hidden Guard looked at him.

The Prince Beimo quietly asked, "Surely your Young Master hasn’t married and yet not consummated the marriage?"

The Hidden Guard, "..."

The Hidden Guard’s face blushed.

What kind of people are these?

Why did everyone guess that his Young Master hadn’t consummated the marriage with the Heir’s wife?

Was it that obvious?

Their relationship was as close as glue; couldn’t everyone see it?

"Of course consummated!" The Hidden Guard responded seriously, not allowing doubt.

"Mm."

"True, if they haven’t consummated by now, they might die from internal explosion," the Prince Beimo chuckled.

He tapped the Hidden Guard on the chest with the folded fan, "Your Young Master owes my sister a favor, a considerable one."

The Hidden Guard, "..."

The Hidden Guard stood there.

One man, one horse, watched as Beimo’s carriage gradually moved away.
