Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

After Ling Qiqi's body finally recovered, she found that within just a few days, gossip about her joining the Sixth Prince was flying everywhere.

Some said that she had remarried Tianyuan Emperor Ling Yi in order to turn hostility into friendship. Now that she saw that Beiwei and Tianyuan had no hope of reconciliation, and she couldn't forget their old love, she came to Shangyi to reunite with the Sixth Prince.

Some said that it was not difficult for Tianyuan to defeat Ximo, so they sent the Seventh Princess to seek peace. To show their sincerity, the Seventh Princess herself was willing to be a hostage.

Others say that Tianyuan rebelled against Beiwei and established himself as the emperor, and forced the Seventh Princess to cancel her engagement with the Sixth Prince. As a result, the Seventh Princess bore a grudge and secretly colluded with the Sixth Prince to attack Tianyuan, intending to use internal and external forces to coordinate the attack. However, she was discovered by Emperor Tianyuan, and the Seventh Princess had to hide back in Shangyi.

Others said that Emperor Tianyuan and the two knew each other from humble beginnings and were close friends. The three of them had great ambitions, so they designed a big show. Now Beidi and Yahe are independent and no longer pay tribute to Beiwei. Ximo also easily took back three cities from Beiwei. I'm afraid that the next step is to join forces to nibble away at Beiwei bit by bit.

Ling Qiqi was stunned after hearing this. My goodness, they are both so imaginative. They should go write novels.

However, looking at the direction of public opinion, it is obviously biased, and it is easy to guess who is behind this trick.

Ling Qiqi can't fulfill the wish of the person behind the scenes.

Besides, since Lu Cheng dared to "invite" her here, he had to pay for his stupid behavior. She had to let him know that it was easier to invite Buddha than to send him away.

One day she insisted on going for a walk on the street. Lu Cheng felt that she couldn't do anything wrong now, and it was time for this scandal heroine to show up in public, so he didn't stop her, but just asked someone to follow her carefully.

However, he still underestimated the ability of someone to use him as a scapegoat.

Ling Qiqi paraded through the streets with great fanfare and her whole family. Not only did she have someone change "Bu Le" into Nan Shen's small clothes beforehand, she also stuffed a baggage into her own stomach.

Then she held the toddler "Buguo" in one hand, supported her lower back with the other, and walked through the city with a big belly.

For fear that her acting skills were not good enough, she went to the drugstore and bought a lot of pregnancy-preserving drugs.

The passers-by were shocked and thought to themselves, is the Seventh Princess pregnant again? Judging from the month, the baby must be at least five or six months old. By that time, the Seventh Princess will be in Tianyuan.

And the little baby in her hand, looking at how affectionate the mother and daughter are, who would believe that they are not biological children? But if you think about it, didn't the Seventh Princess come to Ximo from Nanmishi a year ago? Could this child have some relationship with the Emperor of Nanmishi? There were many rumors about the Seventh Princess and the Emperor of Nanmishi at the time. I heard that the Sixth Prince sent someone to Nanmishi to steal this baby back. No wonder he went to such great lengths to reunite the mother and child.

So our Sixth Prince is determined to be someone's stepfather? Tsk tsk tsk...true love.

Such big gossip quickly spread throughout Shangyi and reached the ears of King Ximo.

King Ximo was furious and ordered Lu Cheng to move the seven princesses and other hostages out of the palace, place them under house arrest elsewhere, and not allow them to leave the palace at will.

She also put Lu Cheng's marriage on the agenda, and made a great effort to select a princess for him, wishing that he could get married and have children immediately, so as to break off his evil relationship with the Seventh Princess as soon as possible.

But Lu Cheng resolutely rejected King Ximo's arrangement regardless of the consequences.

King Ximo was furious and denounced:

"You are the crown prince of Ximo, and you are responsible for the prosperity and inheritance of the royal bloodline of Ximo. Now that you have reached this age, how can you delay getting married?"

"I have a deep affection for the Seventh Princess and will not marry anyone else but her."

"Nonsense, the Seventh Princess is already married and has children. She is so absurd that she is not worthy of marrying you, let alone becoming the future queen mother of Ximo."

"Father, Bu Le is not the Seventh Princess's child, but the nephew of Emperor Nan Shen. She is not pregnant. If you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to feel her pulse and you will know."

"So what? Everyone in the world knows that she has married Ling Yi."

"That's just a temporary solution. If the Seventh Princess can break off the engagement with me, then she can also break off the engagement with Ling Yi. They can just get divorced."

"Can engagement and marriage be the same? A woman cannot serve two husbands."

"Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why can't women remarry?"

"You, you, you are going to piss me off to death. You attacked Tianyuan, controlled Yahe, and did all these things for Ximo's great cause, or for your own selfish motives."

"There are both great causes and selfish motives."

"Okay, then I ask you, if you can only choose between your selfishness and Ximo's great cause, how will you choose?"

"I want both."

"You wish. The Seventh Princess will make you and the entire Ximo a laughing stock."

"I am the crown prince of Ximo. If I cannot even get the person I love, I will be ridiculed by others. How can I have the dignity to talk about great undertakings?"

"I have said that she is not worthy of marrying you."

"I don't have to marry, as long as she can stay with me."

"If you don't marry, will Ximo have no legitimate grandchildren in the future?"

"I am also a concubine's son."

"You, you, get out, get out of here."

After Lu Cheng was scolded by King Ximo, he went directly to the new villa where Ling Qiqi had moved.

"Why are you here? Am I not under house arrest?" Ling Qiqi said self-deprecatingly.

"It's you who's under house arrest, not me."

"So you came here to laugh at me?"

"You asked for it. Who told you to go out on the street and show off for no reason?"

"Who told you not to let him go?"

"If I let him go, you'll be fine?"

"If you return the Crow Kingdom to me, I might be able to do it."

"Humph, let's see how you behave."

"What do you mean? See how I perform."

"Give me a baby."

"You're crazy."

Lu Cheng suddenly felt a surge of anger and grabbed Ling Qiqi and wanted to kiss her forcefully.

Ling Qiqi subconsciously pushed him away and slapped him in the face.

The force is not great, but the insult is strong.

Lu Cheng touched his face in disbelief and glared at Ling Qiqi aggrievedly.

Don't hit someone in the face. Ling Qiqi didn't mean to do it, and she felt guilty. Now Lu Cheng looked like he was bullied by her, and she felt even worse. She always got stronger when facing a strong opponent, but when facing a weak opponent, she really couldn't get tough.

Ling Qiqi accused without confidence:

"What are you doing? Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? You are the perpetrator, so don't act like a victim. You were the one who wanted to take advantage of me, and I was defending myself. I was over-defending..."

The more Ling Qiqi spoke, the softer her voice became, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing that she gave in so easily, Lu Cheng suddenly came to his senses and continued in a wronged tone:

"Why? How am I not as good as Pei Chufeng, how am I not as good as Ling Yi?"
