“What are you blabbering about?”

Just as Han Feng was about to withdraw his hand, upon hearing this, the longsword in his hand lunged forward again.

However, Duan Nian seemed unbothered. “Did I say something wrong? She’s been cursed. In ten days, she will die.”

“You say Huan Er has been cursed?”

At this moment, Xiao Nanye immediately dismounted from the carriage.

He approached Duan Nian.

Looking at the man who had personally severed his own hands, Duan Nian’s eyes were filled with hatred, but also a touch of fear.

Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s question, Duan Nian continued, “If I’m not wrong, she’s been having nightmares every night these days.”

“In a few more days, her vitality will be completely drained, and she will die in her sleep.”

“Is there a cure?”

“Why should I tell…”

Before Duan Nian could finish, Xiao Nanye grabbed him by the throat.

The force in the man’s grip intensified, “I have little patience. You may have no hands, but you still have legs.”

“I know you’re not afraid of death, but there are many fates worse than death in this world. Would you like to try one?”

After saying this, Xiao Nanye released his grip.

Duan Nian fell to the ground.

He lifted his head, his eyes full of anger directed at Xiao Nanye, but upon meeting the latter’s emotionless gaze, the fury in Duan Nian’s eyes vanished.

He turned to Jiang Pei Huan, “In gratitude for sparing my life, 1’11 save yours. Then, we’ll be even.”

“Han Feng, take him back to the mansion.”

“Yes.”

The group didn’t continue to Kai Yuan Temple but went straight back to the general’s mansion.

Upon arriving at the Plum Garden, Xiao Nanye looked at Duan Nian and said, “Speak, how can this curse be broken?”

“The curse can be easily broken, but to undo the curse, there’s a condition: you have to find the curse talisman.”

“Curse Talisman?”

“Of course, to enact the curse, the curse talisman must be placed near the cursed person.”

“Find it.”

Upon hearing Duan Nian’s words, Xiao Nanye ordered Han Feng.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan also spoke to Ye Xiao, “You and Yue Er, help them.”

“Yes.”

Following Xiao Nanye and Jianh Peihuan’s orders, the entire plum garden was in chaos.

It was still afternoon, but by the time it was completely dark, Ye Xiao returned with some people to Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye.

“Have you found it?”

Ye Xiao brought out a package. Unfolding it, Jiang Peihuan saw a piece of baby clothing with a yellow talisman inside.

“Is this it?”

Jiang Peihuan said in a low voice to Duan Nian.

Hearing her words, Duan Nian stepped forward, carefully examined the talisman in Ye Xiao’s hand, then nodded, “Yes, this is the curse talisman.”

Looking at the talisman in Ye Xiao’s hand, a complex emotion flashed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have believed in any curses, but having been resurrected, she now believed in everything.

At this moment, Xiao Nanye directly looked at Duan Nian and said, “Tell me, how can this curse be broken?”

“Wait until tonight. When she goes to sleep, have someone stand by with this talisman.”

“When she starts having nightmares, burn this curse talisman, and the curse will be broken.”

Hearing Duan Nian’s words, Xiao Nanye couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

But seeing the item in Ye Xiao’s hand, his expression instantly turned dark. “Who sent this?”

“It’s Secondary Consort Xue.”

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye immediately stood up.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly reached out and held onto his sleeve.

“Huan Er? Even now, you still want to protect her?”

“She wants my life, why would 1 protect her? But from what I know of Xue Ru, she was probably used by someone else.”

“So, let’s discuss this after the curse is broken.”

Hearing her words, Xiao Nanye sat back down.

Then, Jiang Peihuan turned to Duan Nian, “After the curse is broken, what will happen to the one who cast the curse?”

“This curse technique is a poison technique. It’s either you die or they die. If the curse is not broken, you will die. But if it’s broken, you will live, and they will die.”

After everything was arranged, Duan Nian was taken away.

That night, deep into the night.

Inside Jiang Peihuan’s room.

“It’s okay, I’m here with you.”

Jiang Peihuan lay on the bed, with Xiao Nanye sitting beside her.

Hearing his voice, Jiang Peihuan nodded and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He didn’t respond but took her hand instead.

At first, Jiang Peihuan wasn’t sleepy, but soon, the faint fragrance in the air lulled her into a deep sleep.

Xiao Nanye watched her intently, and when he saw her frown, he immediately turned to Duan Nian and the others. “Can we start?”

Duan Nian glanced at the expression on Jiang Peihuan’s face, then said to Han Feng, “Quickly, burn the talisman.”

Han Feng, holding the talisman in one hand and a fire starter in the other, ignited the talisman.

Though it was just a piece of paper, it took a long time to burn completely.

As the talisman burned, Jiang Peihuan’s face contorted in pain. Xiao Nanye quickly held her close.

“Huan Er, I’m here.”

Perhaps hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, Jiang Peihuan’s struggles slowly ceased.

As the curse on the talisman gradually disappeared, her expression calmed.

When the talisman was entirely consumed, Jiang Peihuan’s breathing became steady.

Just as Xiao Nanye was about to wake her up, Duan Nian stopped him, “Let her sleep.”

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye retracted his hand and lay down beside Jiang Peihuan.

The others in the room also left.

In the Prince Qing’s Mansion.

“Princess Consort, there’s a problem…”

Jiang Yan was groggily woken up by a maid.

Seeing the maid rushing over, Jiang Yan’s sleepiness vanished, “What happened?”

“Princess Consort, the wizard is dead.”

“What did you say?”

Hearing the maid’s words, Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in shock.

A moment later, Jiang Yan entered the room and was met with a gruesome sight.

For the wizard lay on the ground, blood seeping from his seven orifices..
