Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 141: Be prudent and protect yourself first

The three of them successfully sneaked into the palace. Pei Chufeng knew the layout of the palace and pushed the vegetable cart directly towards the imperial kitchen.

The chief witch doctor had previously put the antidote for "different paths" into the well water of the imperial kitchen, and this time he wanted to "throw the antidote into the old well again."

But Ling Qiqi felt that it was too wasteful, and this time they were mainly targeting the officials, so she asked her aunt to change the method of poisoning. The people of Nan Shen loved to drink tea, and officials would rather go to court early than late, and would usually drink tea in the outer hall while waiting for orders. It would be better to directly put the colorless and odorless poison into all the tea cans in the tea room.

While no one was in the tea room, Pei Chufeng stood guard outside while Ling Qiqi and her aunt went in and put the prepared poison into the tea leaves. Ling Qiqi was still not satisfied, so she smeared poison on the spouts of each teapot. They were not afraid even if they were caught doing this, because they all had the "Pa Hua Zi" drug on them.

After doing all this, the three of them went to a remote house according to the location that Xia Guoshi had said. This house was used to temporarily isolate sick messengers in the palace. Normally, no one was willing to approach it, so it was relatively safe.

The three of them began to change their clothes in the house, preparing to appear on stage soon.

Pei Chufeng naturally wanted his prince's clothes, while Ling Qiqi changed into Beiwei's women's clothes to show her identity as a princess. It was just hard for my aunt, who had to completely change her appearance.

Ling Qiqi had asked Qi Qing to prepare the materials for the disguise in advance and brought them from Beiwei. Her aunt also made some improvements to them.

Although the person she is pretending to be this time is Emperor Nan Mirage, which seems extremely difficult, Ling Qiqi has the ability to make things simple.

She felt that Emperor Nan Shen was now a well-known patient, so she just had to pretend to be him according to the patient's thinking.

There is no need for clothing, manners, or voice. Just dress as if he is haggard, unable to walk, and unable to speak. Make him look as miserable as possible, to show that the second prince is a worthless person.

Ling Qiqi was desperately trying to hide the "one bomb for two purposes" in her clothes, like a walking powder keg. Fortunately, the bombs were small and easy to hide on her body. If she wasn't afraid of being too bloated and worried that people would see it at a glance, she would have stuffed as many as she could.

The time for the grand court meeting had arrived. The sound of worship could be heard faintly from the front. The three people looked at each other, and Ling Qiqi said:

"Put your hands out."

Pei Chufeng and his aunt didn't know what she was going to do, but they did as she said.

Ling Qiqi clasped the three people's hands together and said:

"Let's cheer ourselves up. What I mean is to beat the drums of war to boost our morale. When I think of a slogan... I say "Chu Feng will win after a comeback", and then you all say "We will win, we will win, we will win."

My aunt said with disdain:

"is this necessary?"

"Have."

"Have."

The witch doctor rolled his eyes at his apprentice, saying he looked like a loser. How could he become the crown prince? A typical henpecked man.

"Come on, come on, come on, make a comeback, Chu Feng will win."

Pei Chufeng: "We will win, we will win, we will win."

Great Witch Doctor: “…”

"It's not even, try again."

"Are you done yet?" The witch doctor really wanted to knock open her niece's brain to see what nonsense she was thinking about all day long.

It's not that Ling Qiqi is careless, it's mainly because she is nervous. When she is nervous, she will talk too much, which will unconsciously divert her attention and make it easy for her to do something unnecessary.

After Ling Qiqi interrupted, everyone's tension eased a lot.

The three of them went to the Council Hall in the front hall, Pei Chufeng in front, Ling Qiqi supporting the fake Southern Emperor behind, and they did not hide when they met people. When the people in the palace saw that it was the Third Prince, and then saw that it was the Southern Emperor following closely behind, they knelt beside him and dared not breathe.

There were also some people who reacted and wanted to come forward to stop it, but they were hit by the poison needles from Ling Qiqi and the poison powder from "Southern Emperor", and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

The three of them soon arrived outside the Council Hall. At this time, the Second Prince was ruling on behalf of the Southern Emperor and discussing matters with the officials. But today's matter was the same thing over and over again, asking the Southern Emperor to rule, and the person leading the way was Xia Guoshi.

The Second Prince would have certainly tried to obstruct it, but Master Xia refused and asked the Second Prince to invite the imperial physician who treated the Majesty and the concubine who served the Majesty personally to the Council Hall and question them in person.

The second prince was about to make an excuse to evade the question when he heard someone outside the palace say:

"No need. The emperor is here in person despite his illness, and the officials have yet to see him."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Third Prince and a beautiful woman supporting the "Southern Emperor" standing outside the palace. Imperial Master Xia immediately knelt down to greet him, and everyone knelt down quickly when they saw him. Only the Second Prince and his few cronies were still standing there in a daze.

Pei Chufeng's sudden appearance caught Pei Chuyun off guard. He didn't expect that his third brother and the seventh princess would dare to risk their lives and appear in front of the officials. Was it because their father backed them up? But how did they find their father and bring him here smoothly? He had clearly asked people to keep a close watch on his father, so that even a mosquito could hardly get close to him. Could it be that... the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

While the second prince was stunned, the "Southern Emperor" had already passed through the officials and sat on the dragon throne, supported by Pei Chufeng and the Seventh Princess. He was not as vigorous as before, with a hunched body and a pale face. He was not wearing the emperor's clothes, but underwear, and looked both embarrassed and weak.

"Second brother, why don't you come to see me?" Pei Chufeng said sternly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Southern Emperor" coughed, as if he was angry.

The second prince then realized that the current situation was very tricky. If he did not see the emperor, he would be considered as disobedient. If he saw the emperor, it would be tantamount to acknowledging the "father" in front of him.

How to do?

Pei Chuyun thought about it quickly and made up his mind not to admit it.

So, he quickly adjusted back to his state and said in a deep voice:

"To see the emperor? To see who? The emperor has been in a coma for several days and is still in his bedroom. Third brother, I really underestimated you. You dared to find someone to pretend to be the emperor to confuse people."

"It is Second Prince who is confusing the public," Ling Qiqi said.

"You call me brother?"

"A'ran and I are sworn sisters, so naturally I should call you brother. Why, Second Prince, are you not worthy of being called brother? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Seventh Princess, you are joking. You are the princess of Beiwei. What are you doing in my Nan Shen?"

"The Seventh Princess of Beiwei?" The officials were whispering below.

"I heard that Sister A'ran had unfortunately passed away, so I came all the way here to offer my condolences. I even postponed my wedding with Ximo for this reason."

There was another round of whispers from below. Ling Qiqi said this on purpose so that everyone would know the duality of her identity. She wanted to protect herself first so that Pei Chuyun would not dare to do anything to her.
