Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 145 Better to die than live
In the next few days, Pei Chufeng was so busy that he was rarely seen. Ling Qiqi was worried that he couldn't handle it, so she would ask someone to send some supplements to Pei Chufeng from time to time. Every time, Pei Chufeng would eat them up obediently.
In fact, what Ling Qiqi didn't know was that Pei Chufeng would come to see her no matter how late he was busy. And he would lie beside her for a while, just like when she accompanied him to recover from his injury, and whisper to the sleeping Ling Qiqi about what happened today.
Even though Pei Chufeng couldn't spare time to take care of Ling Qiqi, Ling Qiqi lived a very comfortable life. The servants in the palace were all very smart and good at observing people's words and expressions. They naturally knew that the Seventh Princess had a very important position in the eyes of the Third Prince, so they were naturally very attentive and respectful to the Seventh Princess.
Nan Shendi's health gradually improved. He was able to open his eyes and make some reactions. Sometimes when he was in good spirits, he could even have some simple communication with people. However, due to drooling and slurred speech, and one side of his body was completely numb, it would take a long time to recover. He couldn't rush.
But Emperor Nan Shen was anxious. Not only was he so ill that he had completely lost his image as an emperor, but he was also constantly worried about state affairs and his two sons. He took great pains to make it clear to the witch doctor that no matter what method was used, he must get well soon.
In fact, there is a way, but it is just a temporary solution. Although it can make the Southern Emperor return to normal, it is only temporary and will shorten his life. The witch doctor dare not use it, and Pei Chufeng does not allow it to be used.
Ling Qiqi could understand Emperor Nan Shen. Living in such a miserable state was a humiliation not only for an emperor but also for an ordinary person.
Ling Qiqi believes that there are two types of human death: physical death and spiritual death.
Some people, though dead, live on in spirit. But some people, though alive, live like the walking dead.
Ling Qiqi understood Nan Shendi's idea, but she did not support it. She felt that it was better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Living meant hope, and there was hope. Although conservative treatment was slow, it was safe.
But if you use extreme methods to keep yourself going, your life will be like a countdown.
People are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of waiting for death. Such a hopeless life is simply a mental torture, and there is no regret medicine when that time really comes.
Ling Qiqi consoled Emperor Nan Shen many times before she was able to calm him down.
At noon that day, someone came to report to Ling Qiqi that the Second Princess wanted to visit the Seventh Princess.
Ling Qiqi didn't even think about it and asked the policeman to turn it down.
But she never expected that the Second Princess would ignore the messenger's obstruction and rush directly in front of Ling Qiqi.
The Second Princess came with the help of her maids, carrying a big belly. Judging from the size of her belly, she was probably a few days away from giving birth. No wonder the messengers couldn't stop her. Who dared to stop her?
"Greetings, Seventh Princess." The Second Princess, with her big belly, performed a very formal salute to Ling Qiqi with great effort.
"Greetings, Second Princess." Ling Qiqi also returned Bei Wei's greeting politely.
"I think the Seventh Princess knows why I came to see you this time."
"Although I know what it is, it is inappropriate for the Second Princess to come to me for help."
"Everyone knows how important the Seventh Princess is to my Third Brother, so I want to give it a try."
"This is not only Nan Shen's national affair, but also your family affair. It has nothing to do with me."
"If it's not related, why did the Seventh Princess take the risk to come to Nan Shen? Besides, the Seventh Princess and A'ran are sworn sisters, and they are half a family. For some things, being irrelevant and ignoring are not the same thing. You can ignore things that are related, but you can also help others if they are irrelevant."
"I have no reason to help you. Second Princess, you should go back. The baby in your belly is more important."
As soon as Ling Qiqi finished her words, the Second Princess suddenly began to hold her stomach and wailed. The maid next to her supported her tightly to prevent her from sliding to the ground.
Ling Qiqi thought to herself: No way, it can't be that small, is she going to give birth?
The Second Princess was in more and more pain, and the maid beside her could no longer support her. Seeing that the Second Princess was about to fall to the ground, Ling Qiqi reflexively rushed over to help her. As a result, in a flash, Ling Qiqi fell into the hands of the Second Princess.
The Second Princess strangled Ling Qiqi's neck with one hand from behind, and with the other hand she pulled out a dagger from somewhere and pressed the sharp blade against Ling Qiqi's neck.
Ling Qiqi was strangled and unable to move, and could clearly feel the coolness of the blade on the side of her neck.
"Don't move, let everyone retreat." The Second Princess ordered in Ling Qiqi's ear.
The policemen standing by were terrified. They dared not retreat, but they also dared not retreat. They just stood there and dared not move.
"You two are really a perfect match. You both love to use such despicable means that are not presentable." Ling Qiqi did not forget to mock even when she put a knife to his neck.
"Stop talking nonsense and get someone to call my third brother over."
"Are you going to ask people to leave or ask people to come?"
"The Seventh Princess is so brave. She can remain calm even when facing death. She even has the mood to show off."
"No, no, I'm not very courageous, but I am indeed quite lustful. I just know that you are reluctant to kill me before you rescue the second prince."
"If I can't save my husband, I will let you be buried with him."
"No, I advise you to be cautious about being buried with the deceased. Don't wait until you reach the underworld, where you will be restless and have to compete with other women for men. But if you really want to compete, you may not be able to win over me."
"Shut up!"
"..."
Ling Qiqi had no time to retort because a familiar figure appeared in her sight, Pei Chufeng hurried over.
When someone came to report that the Second Princess had gone to see the Seventh Princess, Pei Chufeng became worried. He hurriedly put down what he was doing and rushed over without delay, but he was still a step too late.
"Second sister-in-law, release the Seventh Princess." Pei Chufeng said to the Second Princess, his tone unable to conceal his nervousness and worry.
"Release? Release your second brother first."
"Okay. Someone come..."
"You are crazy. You can't let the tiger go back to the mountain." Ling Qiqi interrupted Pei Chufeng.
When the Second Princess saw that Ling Qiqi dared to stop her, she immediately pressed the dagger against Ling Qiqi's neck even tighter, causing blood to ooze out of the skin.
"I'll let her go, but you don't hurt her." Pei Chufeng compromised without even thinking about it.
"We can't let him go. If we do, we will both die." Ling Qiqi shouted anxiously.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. As long as I release your Second Brother, I won't take the Seventh Princess' life. But Third Brother, I can't guarantee your life."
The Second Princess' words did not shake Pei Chufeng at all, and he said without hesitation:
"It's a deal. I'll release my second brother, and you'll release the seventh princess."
