Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Seeing that Ling Qiqi was about to go back on her word, Pei Chufeng hugged her even tighter.

"Let me go first." Ling Qiqi complained

"No, I'm afraid you'll run away."

"Where can I run to now? This is your territory, Nan Shen. Let me go." Ling Qiqi patiently advised kindly.

"Then you are not allowed to pack any more."

"Row."

Ling Qiqi thought, if she doesn't want to pack it up then don't pack it up, there's nothing to pack up anyway, and besides, if she really wants to run away, who would care about those few possessions?

Pei Chufeng finally let go of her hand, but the two of them standing opposite each other seemed even more awkward.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Ling Qiqi quickly turned around and went to the table to pour herself a cup of tea.

Pei Chufeng followed and sat down opposite her.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Ling Qiqi calmed down instead. Since Pei Chufeng had finally come to her, she might as well have a good talk with him.

"You're not really going to let me raise Bu Le?"

"I'm not going to hand him over to you. This is my second sister-in-law's last wish. Death is the greatest thing. It's not good to go against a last wish. There will be retribution."

"Don't scare me. What retribution can there be? I don't believe in ghosts and monsters."

"At least there will be 'people' who will say that you, the Seventh Princess, are treacherous."

"Bah, stop trying to change my mind. She was acting on her own accord, and I never agreed to her. Besides, if she left a will asking me to die, would I really die? It's obvious that you are plotting against me."

"Indeed, I want Bu Le to follow you. You won't treat him with the eyes of ordinary people, and your status won't let him be neglected or bullied in Nan Shen. Moreover, you have a good temper. Bu Le will have a happy and interesting childhood with you. I think this is also what the second sister-in-law planned. I think she wants you to take Bu Le back to Bei Wei and let him stay away from the disputes and grievances here."

"Humph, I've only heard of people caring about giving birth but not raising them, but I've never heard of people caring about raising them but not giving birth."

"I can't raise one with you."

"Why don't you just adopt him? With your current status in Nan Shen, you will definitely not let Bu Le suffer any loss."

"Even if I am willing, those officials will not agree."

"What?"

"When we have a child in the future, it will be awkward to keep Bu Le by your side because of his identity. If Bu Le becomes jealous and resentful because of his background, it will be detrimental to me and our child. I can't convince those officials for the time being, but now keeping Bu Le by your side is the same as keeping him by my side."

"No, wait, what 'our' child?"

"You don't want to marry me?"

"I'm engaged, okay?"

"Then cancel the engagement immediately."

"Does your father agree?"

"I'll agree."

"That means you didn't agree. How about this? You convince your father first, and then I'll cancel the engagement. Otherwise, I won't get anything from either side, and I'll make Beiwei a laughing stock."

"Father said that as long as you cancel the engagement, he will allow me to marry you."

"Is... is that so? What... when did you say that? I don't believe it. Your father doesn't like me. I am too unvirtuous."

Ling Qiqi originally wanted to use Emperor Nan Shen as a shield. She felt that Emperor Nan Shen would definitely not agree to Pei Chufeng marrying her.

"You can ask my father in person. He said that as long as I like it, it's fine. He just doesn't want to offend Ximo. But if you break off the engagement with Ximo yourself, he will have nothing to worry about."

"Hehe...your father doesn't want to offend Ximo, but my father doesn't want to either, so we have to take our time with this matter, take our time."

"You don't want to break up your engagement with Stephen Lu? You... like him?"

"Ah? Not bad, huh?"

Pei Chufeng was filled with jealousy, but he still tried to stay rational and asked:

"Because he and you are from the same world?"

"what?"

Ling Qiqi was shocked. How did Pei Chufeng know?

"You...how did you know that?"

"You told me that when I was injured and unconscious."

"You...heard everything?"

"I didn't hear everything, but I happened to hear the key ones."

"I just made that up."

"Really? Ling Qiqi?"

"Ah? Well, I just made it up."

"Whether it is made up or not, we will know it once we check it out."

"Check? How are you going to check?" After hearing this, Ling Qiqi felt relieved. It would be strange if she could find out the answer.

"I really have no way of investigating the things in other worlds, but there are traces of things in this world. Did you open Yuehualou? Did you also stockpile explosives and food?"

Ling Qiqi immediately backed off and begged in a coquettish manner:

"Will you promise to keep it a secret for me?"

"Okay, but there are conditions. You marry me, and we will be husband and wife. Your secrets will be my secrets."

"Give me some time to think about it carefully."

"You're not trying to buy time to destroy the evidence, are you? You said that in your previous life you loved to eat. You also said that 'the mouth that loves to eat is a deceitful ghost'."

Ling Qiqi thought for a long time before she realized that the "I love to eat" Pei Chufeng was referring to was HR. She really wanted to call herself a big bastard.

"Hehe...hehe...I'm such a jerk."

"I've always wanted to ask you, what exactly is 'love to eat'? But it's very similar to you, you really do love to eat."

"Hehe... HR is nothing."

"There is one more thing. Father has decided to abdicate and pass the throne to me. The coronation ceremony will be held in a few days. I hope you can stay and watch the ceremony. After I ascend the throne, I will make you queen. Didn't you say you want to be the future queen mother? Instead of marrying the crown prince, it is better to marry me, the current emperor, and become the queen mother directly. So I will keep the position of Queen Mother of Nan Shen for you, and you must not leave it vacant for too long."

"Um... I want to be alone, so go and do your work."

Pei Chufeng left, and Ling Qiqi's heart was in a mess. She originally wanted to run away, but then she thought again and felt that she could escape the monk but not the temple, so she just gave up and didn't care about who she loved.

At worst, she could just break off the engagement with Lu Cheng. Anyway, she had the divorce papers in her hand.

As for the relationship between Beiwei and Ximo?

It’s okay. The game between big powers can’t be like a couple playing house where they turn against each other at any time. At worst, she can just be thick-skinned and slowly ease the tension with Ximo.

And didn't Lu Cheng promise to fulfill her three wishes? She could just go all in.

After figuring this out, Ling Qiqi was no longer anxious.

In her heart, she really wanted to attend Pei Chufeng's coronation ceremony. After all, such a lively change of dynasties was not common. She also wanted to witness such an important highlight moment of Pei Chufeng with her own eyes. She also contributed to this, so she should be considered a meritorious figure, right?
