Chapter 44 Stolen Kiss

This health talisman was naturally something she had requested for Xie Jinglan.

Although she knew Xie Jinglan didn't have much time left, and that was why she initially chose to have a child with him, now that they spend so much time together, Jiang Yuyue has unknowingly developed a reluctance to let him die so young.

But Baili Zixuan had already predicted that he wouldn't live much longer, so all Jiang Yuyue could do was pray for a health talisman for him, hoping that he could live a little longer.

After receiving the health talisman from the high monk, Jiang Yuyue took out a sachet from her bosom and carefully placed the health talisman into it.

She embroidered the sachet herself, because she had heard that putting the talisman she had obtained into the sachet herself would show more sincerity. Although Jiang Yuyue was not good at needlework, she still embroidered one, even though she didn't know if it would work, just for peace of mind.

After doing all that, Jiang Yuyue walked out. Xie Jinglan was still standing in the same spot, his eyelids slightly lowered, exuding an aura of indifference that kept strangers at bay. However, the pile of miscellaneous trinkets in his hands formed a stark contrast to his demeanor.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but chuckle.

"this is for you."

Jiang Yuyue reached out and took the trinkets, placing the sachet in his hand.

"This is a health talisman I just got for you. It's very effective! Remember to carry it with you at all times, otherwise it won't work."

Looking at the sachet lying in my hand, the slightly crooked stitches clearly indicated that it wasn't bought from outside.

Xie Jinglan's fingers clenched involuntarily. Could it be that she did it herself?

"Did you embroider the sachet?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yuyue readily admitted, "They say that sincerity is key to success in such matters, and only hand-embroidered sachets are effective. Don't underestimate my embroidery skills; it still took me several days to complete this."

Xie Jinglan paused, stroking the sachet in his hand, his expression inscrutable.

"You really don't want me to die?"

"of course."

Jiang Yuyue's words carried an undeniable air: "I have no grudge against you, so naturally I don't want you to die."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue raised an eyebrow again, "And just like I said when we were eating, it would be such a pity for you to die with such a beautiful face, so it would be better to live as long as possible."

Xie Jinglan, unusually, did not frown at her teasing. He remained silent for a moment, then put the sachet into his bosom and nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Then, whether it was Jiang Yuyue's imagination or not, she felt that Xie Jinglan's attitude had become much gentler, and he accompanied her on a aimless stroll around the capital until evening without any complaints.

The capital city was much more lively at night than during the day. Brilliant lanterns hung high on both sides of the road. There was no curfew today, and even at this hour, the streets were still bustling with people. Kongming lanterns flew into the sky from time to time. Feeling the strong festive atmosphere, Jiang Yuyue's smile never stopped.

"Hey, there seems to be a lantern vendor up ahead!"

Jiang Yuyue noticed the lanterns floating on the riverbank and immediately became interested.

"Let's go release lanterns and make wishes!"

Xie Jinglan nodded, letting her pull him toward the riverside vendors. Jiang Yuyue picked out two of the prettiest lanterns and bought them, but seeing that the riverside was already crowded with people, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

When will it be possible for so many people to squeeze in?

As if seeing through Jiang Yuyue's thoughts, Xie Jinglan suggested, "There's a branch of the river ahead, and fewer people are there."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yuyue was delighted, and the two of them walked around the crowd together. Just as Xie Jinglan had said, there really wasn't much of a person here.

"Alright, make a wish!"

Jiang Yuyue lit two lanterns with a tinderbox and urged Xie Jinglan to make a wish.

"It's fine if you say you don't believe in gods or Buddhas, but this has nothing to do with gods or Buddhas. You have to get involved, right?"

Xie Jinglan wasn't really interested in these kinds of girly things, but he couldn't resist Jiang Yuyue's urging, so he pretended to close his eyes and make a wish, and opened his eyes a moment later.

"Did you make a wish?"

Jiang Yuyue asked first, then quickly added, "Don't tell anyone what you wish for! If you do, it won't come true!"

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart.

Under the warm yellow light, Jiang Yuyue's dimples appeared even more lively, and her slightly upturned lips were rosy and full, making one want to possess her.

And the next second, Xie Jinglan did just that.

"...!"

Jiang Yuyue felt something cool touch her lips, and then she smelled the familiar herbal scent. By the time she realized what it was, Xie Jinglan had already pulled away.

Jiang Yuyue was taken aback when she opened her eyes and saw Xie Jinglan's nonchalant appearance.

If it weren't for the lingering sensation on her lips, Jiang Yuyue would have truly believed that what she had just experienced was a hallucination.

"you……"

"Qixi Festival is over, let's set off home tomorrow."

Xie Jinglan said calmly, as if he had really done nothing, "If we don't go back soon, they'll probably start to worry."

Jiang Yuyue originally wanted to ask Xie Jinglan what he meant by his actions just now, but thinking that she had also made light of him quite a few times, she thought that if she asked him, it would make her seem petty and calculative, so she didn't ask.

……

"Xiao Liu, we'll be heading back tomorrow."

Back home, Jiang Yuyue informed Xiao Liu, "Remember to pack your luggage tonight."

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue had just returned and was about to leave again, Xiao Liu asked warily, "Miss, you're not going to...?"

"What are you thinking!"

Jiang Yuyue immediately interrupted her, saying, "I'm about to leave the capital, but there are some things I haven't finished taking care of. I'll be right back."

Although it was late at night, the lingering atmosphere of Qixi Festival had not yet dissipated, and there were still many pedestrians on the streets and alleys.

Jiang Yuyue bought a string of candied hawthorns and stood at the entrance of an alley not far from Princess Huajin's residence, randomly stopping a passing little boy.

"Little brother, would you like to eat this candied hawthorn in my hand?"

She waved the candied hawthorn in her hand, and the little boy, his eyes gleaming with longing, immediately nodded repeatedly.

"miss you!"

"Well."

Jiang Yuyue took out a letter from her bosom and said with a smile, "If you help me deliver this to the guards at the gate of Princess Huajin's residence, I'll give you this candied hawthorn, okay?"

In return for the candied hawthorns, the little boy agreed without hesitation and immediately took the letter and ran to the princess's residence.

Watching the boy successfully hand the letter to the guard, Jiang Yuyue's lips curled into a cold smile.

Although she didn't know who cut off Xie Yunqi's arm, it didn't mean that Jiang Yuyue had forgotten the grudge that he had sent someone to assassinate her. She had always been vengeful, so how could she not give Xie Yunqi a big gift?

I wonder what Princess Huajin will think when she finds out that her future husband is already married.
