Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

"What exactly is the danger?" Young Marquis Yi asked Ling Qiqi with some concern.

"I feel like someone is following me."

"Who?"

"you."

"Who else?"

"Gone."

Young Marquis Yi now feels that what the Sixth Prince said just now makes a lot of sense. The Seventh Princess is the biggest danger. Talking to her will either make him anxious to death or angry to death.

Ling Qiqi continued:

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. When I was out of the palace last month, I ran into a few hooligans bullying a brother and sister. I have always hated evil and always stood up for what is right, so I rescued the brother and sister."

"You? Dealing with a few gangsters?" Lu Cheng looked disdainful and unbelieving.

"More than enough." Ling Qiqi was arrogant.

"How did you save him?" Young Marquis Yi asked curiously.

"I went to the government office to call for help, and asked the bailiffs to arrest those scoundrels. You know what, this token my father gave me is quite useful. I never used it before, what a waste."

"You'd better use this token less in the future." Lu Cheng reminded.

"You talk so excitedly, I thought you were the one who saved the person." Young Marquis Yi was a little disappointed.

"Why wasn't it me who saved them? Not only did I save them, I also showed them a way forward. I saw that the brother and sister were both good-looking, so I bought them some clothes and dressed them up, and took them to Yuehua Building to seek a job, and it actually worked. From now on, they have a stable life. You didn't see that the brother and sister thanked me profusely and insisted on marrying me."

"Is this how you pledge your love to someone? You never speak in a serious manner." Lu Cheng rolled his eyes at her.

"You have to work like a slave for me. This phrase is fine, right? You are the only one who is bothered by me."

"Who are you talking about, mom?"

"Ah? What? What did you say, mom?"

Lu Cheng couldn't think of how to refute this for a moment, so he tried to hide his embarrassment by drinking tea.

Young Marquis Yi was listening to their conversation and felt that the Chinese language was truly profound and extensive. The attainments of these two people were also superb, and he was willing to admit defeat.

"By the way, speaking of Yuehua Tower, wasn't Young Marquis Yi originally going there? Why are you still here?" Ling Qiqi suddenly asked Young Marquis Yi.

"Can I go now?" asked Young Marquis Yi.

Ling Qiqi nodded:

"Let's go, let's go. I heard that there's a new play on Yuehua Tower today. It seems to be called Infernal Affairs. Anything produced by Yuehua Tower must be top-notch. Let's go."

Young Marquis Yi stood up and was about to say goodbye when he saw the Seventh Princess looking at him with her beautiful big eyes blinking. He was stunned for a moment and sat back down.

"What's wrong? Why are you sitting down again?" Ling Qiqi asked.

"Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Besides, I have wasted most of the day and I still don't understand why the Seventh Princess wants to make these flying needles."

"Is this important?" Ling Qiqi was a little impatient.

"It wasn't important at first, I was just curious for a moment. But the Seventh Princess avoided the question, which made me even more curious."

"Am I avoiding the subject?"

Young Marquis Yi nodded, Ling Qiqi looked at Lu Cheng again, and Lu Cheng also nodded.

"Sorry, sometimes I tend to go off topic when I'm happy."

"It's good that you know it." Lu Cheng said.

Ling Qiqi rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng, then turned to Young Marquis Yi and said:

"You'll get used to it."

Young Marquis Yi looked at Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng nodded at him helplessly.

"But you can't blame me for this." Ling Qiqi interrupted their eye contact and said:

"It's all the Sixth Prince's fault. He always interrupts me."

Young Marquis Yi looked at Lu Cheng again, and Lu Cheng nodded at him again:

"I am used to it."

Young Marquis Yi looked at him with sympathy and admiration, but Lu Cheng's look was: No, no, you'll get used to it sooner or later.

"You two are exchanging glances. Stop it, are you ever going to stop?" Ling Qiqi interrupted their exchange of glances to ruin the atmosphere.

The two of them calmed down and looked at Ling Qiqi together. Ling Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable and said:

"Look, you two interrupted me again, didn't you? What was I just about to say? Oh, right, the flying needle."

Young Marquis Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and got back to the point.

"Why did I make flying needles? There are no reasons. I just did it when I thought of it. Last time, I was able to save the siblings in time because I was close to the government office. But I can't always be so lucky, so I wanted to have a weapon to protect myself. I don't know how to use swords, spears, or halberds, and they are heavy to carry around. It just so happens that I have learned acupuncture, and I think these needles are good. They are light and can be used to buy some time to escape, so I made it. That's it."

After Ling Qiqi finished her rambling, she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Young Marquis Yi didn't say anything, and couldn't tell whether what the Seventh Princess said was true or not. If the Seventh Princess told a very high-sounding and watertight story, he would definitely not believe it. But the Seventh Princess just said that she acted capriciously, which made her seem like she was being true to herself and that he was overthinking.

The story of the Seventh Princess saving the brother and sister last month had already spread throughout the capital. The brother and sister were indeed accepted into the opera troupe because of their good looks, and after joining the troupe, they had been learning opera from their master in the backyard of the opera house. Moreover, the Seventh Princess had learned acupuncture from the Imperial Physician Du when she was a child. She had once saved the Third Prince by waking Ning Shuyi up with a few needles, and this story was still a good story in the palace.

Seeing that Young Marquis Yi hadn't spoken for a long time, Ling Qiqi couldn't help but ask:

"My Lord, why are you following me and interrogating me? Are you planning something bad to me?"

When Young Marquis Yi was asked this by Ling Qiqi, his face immediately turned red. Seeing this, Ling Qiqi became playful again and continued:

"Oh, your face is red. It seems that what I said was right. You really have bad intentions towards me. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Lu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and came to Bei Yi Hou's rescue:

"Who would want anything from you? You are simply courting disaster. Didn't Young Marquis Yi just say that I was just curious for a moment? It's you who keeps interrupting and keeping people on edge."

Young Marquis Yi nodded, but fearing that the Seventh Princess would not believe him, he added:

"At first I was a little worried when I saw you were alone, but then I saw you went to the blacksmith shop, and I was curious about what a princess would do there. If I really wanted to follow you, how could you have discovered me?"

Ling Qiqi thought about it and felt that it was right, so she said to Young Marquis Yi generously:

"Then this matter ends here."

Young Marquis Yi quickly agreed:

"Okay, it's a deal, that's all."

"But..." Ling Qiqi hesitated to speak.

Young Marquis Yi was choked by the Seventh Princess's heavy breathing and started coughing. His nerves became tense again.

"But what? Princess Seven, if you have something to say, please speak directly."

"Can you two keep my flying needle secret? If people knew I had this thing, they would be prepared in advance, and the flying needle's unexpected effect would be lost."

Young Marquis Yi said nothing and looked at the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince calmly and slowly asked the Seventh Princess:

"condition?"

"I promise not to stab you two with flying needles."

"make a deal."

Young Marquis Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they are all talented!

Seeing that Young Marquis Yi had not expressed his opinion, Ling Qiqi deliberately asked in a sinister tone:

"What do you think, Young Marquis Yi?"

"I'll make the deal too."
