Chapter 195: Entering The Palace To Pay Respects
“How… how could that be? Could it be that Lord Ling’s daughter is impersonated by someone?” His face was filled with shock. “Could it really be Jiang Ruanxi?”
“I don’t know either.” Jiang Kui said with a very serious expression. “Because even when I opened the Heavenly Eye, I still couldn’t see her birthdate and time.”
Jiang Rui was very shocked.
It must be known that Jiang Kui was able to become the Imperial Advisor of the Qin Dynasty precisely because he had profound attainments in metaphysics. Most importantly, he had a pair of Heavenly Eyes. As long as he knew that person’s birthdate and time, he could see through their past and future.
But now even Jiang Kui couldn’t see through it.
“Why is this happening?”
Jiang Kui looked at the receding wedding sedan, his gaze becoming profound. “I don’t know for now, but I know that there are only two kinds of people whose birthdates I cannot see.”
“What are those two kinds?”
“One kind is rootless people. Their fate is not governed by the Astrological Mansions. This kind of people are often those who escaped death, or those who have already changed their fate, or those who have hidden their own Astrological Mansions.”
Jiang Rui hadn’t expected there to be such a situation.
His brows furrowed even tighter. “Elder Brother, could Jiang Ruanxi be one of those two kinds you mentioned? Actually, she is Jiang Ruanxi?”
After all, Jiang Ruanxi was dead in the eyes of the world, but it wasn’t necessarily true that she had died.
Jiang Kui shook his head. “I’ve thought of what you’re thinking too. Just now I also inputted her birthdate and time, but it didn’t match her.”
The more Jiang Rui thought, the more suspicious he became. “Elder Brother, then where has Jiang Ruanxi gone? Could she really have died?”
Jiang Kui had previously thought that Jiang Ruanxi had feigned death, that she had merely lost her virginity and hidden her Astrological Mansion to make it so he couldn’t find her.
But if it were only that, then just now when combining her birthdate and time, it shouldn’t have mismatched.
Jiang Kui closed his eyes again. In the vast universe, he could still faintly sense Jiang Ruanxi’s weak aura, but it was as faint as a thread, flickering in and out, as if it would fall at any moment.
This proved that she hadn’t died yet.
Jiang Kui opened his eyes and said to Jiang Rui, “Let’s go back first. Her matter needs to be planned carefully.”
“Alright.” Although Jiang Rui was unwilling, he could only put it aside for now.
After Jiang Rui pushed a few steps, Jiang Kui seemed to remember something and said indifferently, “When you went to Lingnan this time and brought back Fourth Brother’s body, did you have any other gains?”
Speaking of Jiang Linlei, pain flashed in Jiang Rui’s eyes.
He hadn’t expected that Jiang Linlei had gone to Lingnan and never returned.
“No. But I went and beheaded all the Jiang family members, root and stem.”
Jiang Kui knew he was venting and didn’t say anything. “Mm, if they died, they died. Properly bury Fourth Brother well.”
“Alright.”

Jiang Ruanxi and Wei Chang’s wedding was lively and grand.
Emperor Qin was in a bad mood because of the Fifth Princess’s matter, so he didn’t come to the scene. Instead, the Empress rewarded many things.
Civil and military ministers all came to offer congratulations.
Jiang Ruanxi had married three times in this lifetime. Compared to the tension of the second time, this time she was clearly much more at ease.
Wei Chang was also adept at it. To avoid the situation from last time, he had lifted the wedding veil early and prepared some food.
Jiang Ruanxi was quite satisfied with his thoughtfulness. She had gotten up too early in the morning and hadn’t eaten anything, so she was hungry until now.
After eating, Jiang Ruanxi finally came back to life.
By the time Wei Chang returned, she was still full of vigor.
“Are you hungry?” Wei Chang was wearing bright red wedding clothes, which made his figure even more upright.
Jiang Ruanxi shook her head, and Wei Chang’s eyes lit up.
“Are you hungry?” Jiang Ruanxi hadn’t noticed his expression and asked subconsciously.
But by the time she sensed the threatening aura, Wei Chang had already pulled her into his arms. “I’m naturally hungry.”
But this hunger was not that hunger.
Jiang Ruanxi reached out and pinched him. “Can you be serious for once?”
“A moment of spring in the night is worth a thousand gold. Madam, do you want me to be serious on our wedding night?”
Seeing him getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Ruanxi shyly lowered her head.
At that moment, Wei Chang, with a smile in his eyes, placed her on the bed. What followed made even the moon shyly hide behind the clouds.
The next day, Jiang Ruanxi was sore all over from exhaustion.
She was full of resentment about this, so when she got up in the morning, she was a bit angry and simply ignored him.
Wei Chang realized the problem, touched his nose, didn’t know how to coax her, and could only look at her helplessly.
Seeing Wei Chang, who was usually aloof and indifferent in front of others, now like this, the anger in Jiang Ruanxi’s heart instantly dissipated.
But she still glared at him fiercely. “Look what time it is now. We still have to enter the palace to pay respects later.”
It turned out she was angry about this. Wei Chang turned shameless again and hugged her. “You’re worried about this? No need to worry. They know we’re newlyweds. Going a bit late is fine; we can even catch lunch.”
Jiang Ruanxi didn’t have skin as thick as his. Thinking that they would laugh at them in their hearts, her face instantly turned red.
Wei Chang just smiled. “It’s fine. Father Emperor is experienced and won’t say anything. If the Empress makes trouble, you don’t need to speak; I’ll handle it for you.”
It turned out he knew everything.
The worries in Jiang Ruanxi’s heart were gone, and she became happy.
After the two finished washing up and put on their clothes, they went to the Imperial Palace.
The serving maid saw how familiar Jiang Ruanxi and Wei Chang seemed and felt some doubt in her heart.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess had just gotten married, but why did they look like an old married couple?
There wasn’t the slightest bit of the shyness of newlyweds.
The two took a carriage and soon arrived at
The situation was just as Wei Chang had said. Emperor Qin, as an experienced person, didn’t say anything about the two arriving late.
He only instructed the two to love each other.
“Daughter-in-law will obey Father Emperor’s decree.” Jiang Ruanxi said respectfully.
Emperor Qin was very satisfied and then had many things rewarded.
“Go on, don’t keep the Empress waiting too long.”
Finally, Emperor Qin waved his hand.
After Wei Chang and Jiang Ruanxi left, the smile on Emperor Qin’s face gradually faded, replaced by indifference.
“Imperial Advisor, what exactly is going on?”
Yesterday was Wei Chang’s twentieth birthday. He had specifically chosen this day for them to marry.
But not only did he not die, he even looked very spirited.
“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince’s Seven Killings Solitary Fate has been resolved.” Jiang Kui said truthfully.
“Oh, could it be because of the Crown Princess?” Emperor Qin asked doubtfully.
He was very pleased.
Because among all his sons, Wei Chang and the Second Prince were the most outstanding.
Compared to the Third Prince, the Crown Prince’s methods were more benevolent and righteous, and he liked him the most.
But he had previously worried about his life. Now that it was broken, did that mean he could live a long time?
“It seems so for now.” Jiang Kui lowered his head, also somewhat puzzled.
