Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 136 Ask Him to Give You a Brother or Sister

In just a few months, the Seventh Princess had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations and had matured a lot. The Northern Emperor appreciated his daughter's talent and courage more and more, and was increasingly reluctant to marry her off. Even if she did, he knew that only the future monarch could be worthy of his precious daughter.

So the next day, the Northern Emperor sent a letter back to Ximo. Although the wording was extremely cautious and humble, his words revealed an unquestionable firm attitude: The world is not a problem, the problem is that if you are not the crown prince, you can forget about marrying the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess must be the future queen mother.

Before long, the news that the seventh princess would marry the future king spread throughout the streets and alleys of Beiwei.

The person who spread the rumor was Ling Qiqi, and after Lu Cheng found out, he fanned the flames in Ximo.

Before long, even the Southern Mirage became known to everyone.

Ling Qiqi did it on purpose. In addition to helping Lu Cheng, she also wanted to scare Pei Chuyun, the second prince of Nan Shen.

She will only marry the future monarch, but she didn't say that he must be from Ximo Kingdom, huh!

Pei Chufeng is with her now, what if she falls in love with someone else and wants to remarry? Just tell me if Pei Chuyun is afraid.

On the other hand, Ling Qiqi asked Qi Qing to send people to Nan Shen to spread a jingle: The clothes are stained with blood, the clothes are trapped in the forest, the clouds cover the green mountains, and the wind blows away the clouds.

The meaning of the jingle is straightforward enough. Fei Yi is Pei, Ran is the same as Ran, Pi Lin is Chu, and Lin is near Ling. The names of the crown prince Pei Chuqing, the second prince Pei Chuyun, the third prince Pei Chufeng, and the little princess Pei Churan all appear in this jingle. It means that Pei Chuyun and his brothers quarreled and imprisoned the Southern Mirage Emperor. But no matter how thick the clouds are, they cannot withstand a gust of wind. It is self-evident who is the stronger one.

Soon, the people of Nan Shen began to sing and interpret this jingle, which caused quite a stir. They began to speculate that the Third Prince did not rebel and flee as previously rumored, but that there was someone else who was plotting to usurp the throne, and it was obvious who it was.

Pei Chuyun was furious, but he had no idea what to do. He could neither investigate nor stop it. If he had no regrets, why would he care about these rumors? However, rumors were sometimes like a flood and a beast, destroying everything in its path.

In less than a month, two factions had formed in the Nan Shen court. One faction was those who supported Pei Chuyun, and the other was composed of old ministers loyal to Emperor Nan Shen. They advocated that Emperor Nan Shen take power personally and bring the third prince back to the imperial capital.

Ling Qiqi has gradually reconstructed the sudden changes in Nan Shen through Pei Chufeng's narration and the information collected by Qi Qing. What she didn't expect was that this change was closely related to what she said at the beginning.

When Ling Qiqi fell into the water in Nanshen Suijing Lake, Pei Chufeng discovered the abnormality of the wheel marks. In addition, Ling Qiqi suggested that he check in the direction of Beiwei and told him to be careful of his second brother. As a result, Pei Chufeng became more and more frightened the more he checked.

Pei Chuyun has been in charge of Nan Shen's military affairs for many years, but recently he has frequently mobilized the military defense and gradually concentrated his troops in the Beiwei border area. On the other hand, there are many suspicious points in the military accounts. Military expenses and weapons have disappeared, and the amount is not small. There are also problems with the organization and number of troops. Many clues point to one answer: Pei Chuyun raises private soldiers.

Raising private soldiers is a taboo, Pei Chufeng did not dare to jump to conclusions. He also did not believe that his second brother would do such a rebellious thing. There must be other hidden reasons, so he went to ask his second brother in person.

Pei Chuyun only said that his subordinates were not strict in their administration and that they would investigate the matter thoroughly and deal with it severely, and he would definitely be given an explanation at that time.

Pei Chufeng wanted to leave at this point, but his second brother enthusiastically invited him to go hunting in the suburbs. He wanted to refuse, but A'ran found him at the Second Prince's Mansion. When he heard that they were going hunting, he insisted that everyone go together.

As a result, he encountered an accident while hunting and was shot by his second brother. A'ran blocked the fatal arrow for him, and Pei Chufeng's guards were able to risk their lives to rescue the seriously injured master and escorted him to the foot of the mountain where the witch doctor was.

There is a poisonous miasma formation in the mountain where the great witch doctor lives, and outsiders cannot get in.

The Second Prince had always focused on the Crown Prince, and had not taken much precautions against Pei Chufeng and A'ran. He had always thought that Pei Chufeng was in poor health and therefore had no interest in fame and fortune, and preferred to be an idle prince who enjoyed the mountains and rivers. He did not know when Pei Chufeng had found out so much evidence against him. Now that the truth had been revealed, Pei Chuyun was determined to gather his private soldiers to surround the mountain.

At the same time, Pei Chuyun ordered people to go to the Prince's Mansion in the name of Pei Chufeng and A'ran, lured the Prince to the foot of the mountain, and killed his brother with a knife to seize the throne.

Afterwards, Pei Chuyun led his troops into the imperial capital in the name of protecting the emperor, and broke into the palace to see the emperor.

When Emperor Nan Shen saw Pei Chuyun coming aggressively, and learned from him that Pei Chufeng had rebelled and assassinated the crown prince, he knew what was going on, and was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Pei Chuyun took advantage of the situation and sealed the palace where Emperor Nan Shen lived, saying that Emperor Nan Shen was in poor health and needed to rest and recuperate, and no one was allowed to disturb him. In fact, he put Emperor Nan Shen under house arrest.

The Nan Shen royal family now only had one prince, Pei Chuyun, so he would naturally be in charge of government affairs. At the same time, he ordered people to capture Pei Chufeng, and to find him alive or dead.

But now, the old ministers in the court are making him worry, but fortunately, Emperor Nan Shen is in his hands. He uses the emperor to command the princes, and those old guys can't do anything to him.

Pei Chufeng has already gone to the Seventh Princess of Beiwei, and Pei Chuyun is now out of reach. He cannot afford to offend Beiwei for the time being, but Pei Chufeng is his biggest threat, so he must find a way.

So Pei Chuyun placed his hopes on the Ninth Prince. He had sent people to secretly contact Beiyi Hou, hoping that he could take action and get rid of Pei Chufeng as soon as possible.

On this day, Ling Yi came to visit the princess's mansion, and the Seventh Princess opened the door to welcome him.

Ling Yi hadn't been to the mansion for a long time. Looking at the familiar scenery in the mansion, he couldn't help but recall the little things he had witnessed here.

He, the Seventh Princess, as well as Lu Chengyou, Pei Chufeng and Pei Churan, had once eaten, drunk and played in this mansion. But now some of them were separated from each other, and some were separated forever.

Led by the servants, Ling Yi came to the backyard, where the Seventh Princess was chatting animatedly with Du Jingshan under the pavilion.

Seeing him arrive, Ling Qiqi waved to him happily and asked him to come over.

As if his soul was taken away, he subconsciously quickened his pace and walked over.

"What wind brought you to my princess's mansion?"

"Want to see what you've been up to lately?"

"No, Senior Brother Gengshan and I are researching a prescription."

"What medicine?"

"I'll give you some aphrodisiac later."

Ling Yi's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed.

He looked at Du Jingshan in disbelief. Du Jingshan nodded helplessly, then got up and left so that they could talk.

Ling Yi, who finally accepted the fact, shouted angrily:

"I do not need."

"Then you can give it to the Ninth Prince and ask him to give you a brother or sister."
