Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The wine was brought up quickly. It was chilled fruit wine. This time it was not diluted with water and tasted sweet and mellow.

After a few drinks, Ling Qiqi started to talk more and more, and kept on talking to A'ran.

Just when I was about to have another drink, I found that the wine I had just poured into the glass was gone. I thought I had drunk it and forgotten about it, so I tried to get a refill from the wine jug, but found that the jug was also gone.

"Where's my wine?" Ling Qiqi turned around and asked Ling Yi who was sitting next to her. There was no one else except him.

"Drinked."

"Where's the wine jug?"

"Let them withdraw."

Ling Qiqi glared at Ling Yi and shouted angrily to the outside:

"Somebody come!"

"The people also asked me to withdraw." Ling Yi said.

"Lu Cheng finally left, and you popped up again to control me, right?"

"You drank too much."

"I do not have."

"You have a big tongue. You can't even pronounce the Sixth Prince's name properly."

Ling Qiqi sobered up instantly. Fortunately, she forgot that the Sixth Prince was called Lu Chengyou. She was indeed a little too presumptuous. She needed to restrain herself. She needed to restrain herself. She couldn't drink anymore. She had important things to do.

So Ling Qiqi stopped quibbling and asking for wine, and continued to gnaw on the bone quietly.

The other people were a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in the Seventh Princess' attitude, while A'ran thought that the Seventh Princess was thinking about the Sixth Prince's departure and was sad again. For a moment, no one spoke.

After chewing a piece of bone clean, Ling Qiqi said:

"Third Prince, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. What is the origin of the jade pendant you gave me?"

Pei Chufeng didn't expect that the Seventh Princess would suddenly ask about him, and suddenly asked about the jade pendant. He was a little surprised, and after reacting, he said:

"Why does the Seventh Princess ask this question?"

Ling Qiqi glanced at Pei Chufeng and felt that this person was quite sensitive and cautious. It would be better for her to speak frankly:

"When my mother passed away, she left me a jade pendant, which I think is very similar to the one you gave me. I haven't seen my mother since I was born, so I am very curious about everything related to her and want to know more about her."

"That jade pendant was given to me by our Nan Shen's great witch doctor. He said it could protect my safety. As for the origin of this jade pendant, I don't know."

"Witch doctor?"

"Nan Shen is different from Bei Kui's noble doctors and lowly witches. Instead, they practice the ancient witch doctor techniques to pray for blessings, exorcise evil spirits, and cure diseases."

"Yes, I understand. It is equivalent to healing the mind and body together. It is very scientific."

"Heart? Coughing up blood?" A'ran asked puzzledly.

"It probably means to keep your mind clear and not be disturbed by evil spirits." Ling Qiqi explained.

"You also know the art of witchcraft?" A'ran asked in surprise.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

Ling Qiqi no longer paid attention to A'ran's surprise, but turned to Pei Chufeng and said:

"Can I ask the Third Prince for a favor?"

"Seventh Princess, just tell me what I can do."

"Could you please ask the witch doctor about the origin of this jade pendant for me after you return to Nan Shen, and write to me?"

"Don't worry, Seventh Princess. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Then I would like to thank the Third Prince first."

Although Ling Qiqi didn't get the answer she wanted, she at least knew the origin of the jade pendant. She could ask Qi Qing to find a way to arrange someone to investigate. Anyway, she was not in a hurry.

Seeing that the Seventh Princess was silent again, A'ran asked her:

"In a few days, my third brother and I will also return to Nan Shen. What are your plans for the future?"

"What plans do I have? I just eat and drink, and don't take anything to heart."

"Will you miss us?"

"of course."

"But I don't think you look like the Sixth Prince at all now."

"Why would I miss him if I have nothing to do?"

"You two will be husband and wife in the future."

"No one can predict what will happen in the future."

"What do you mean?" A'ran keenly caught the gossip.

"Means nothing."

"What did the Sixth Prince say to you when he saw you off just now?"

"Didn't say anything."

"Impossible, I saw it, everyone saw it." A'ran kept asking.

"secret."

"Can't you even tell me?" A'ran looked pitiful.

"First, you're not the only one here. Second, any secret won't be a secret if I tell you."

A'ran wanted to ask more questions, but in order to divert attention, Ling Qiqi asked someone to find Ye Zixi, who had played before, and started playing with them.

Time passed quickly and it was soon noon. After everyone dispersed, Ling Qiqi also walked towards the palace accompanied by the guards.

On the way, Ling Qiqi always felt that someone was following them. She stopped several times on purpose, but didn't find anything unusual. She thought she was too sensitive and suspicious. Later, she thought that it might be the secret guards arranged by Lu Cheng, so she no longer suspected it and just quickened her pace.

After returning safely to her Bu Lao Pavilion, Ling Qiqi ate a few bites of snacks and then felt a little tired. She went back to her room to catch up on her sleep without letting anyone disturb her.

When she woke up again, it was already dark outside. Although there were candles in the room, the light was still very dim.

She felt a burning pain in her throat and stomach, so she wanted to get up and go to the table to get some water.

I didn't expect that as soon as I stood up, my eyes went dark and I fell down.

When she woke up again, she saw Du Jingshan, who looked haggard and worried. She was about to ask him what happened, but found that she couldn't make a sound. Then, a dizziness like riding a roller coaster swept over her. She subconsciously wanted to grab something, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she lost consciousness again.

Ling Qiqi woke up several times, but she just couldn't move, open her eyes, or make a sound. She could clearly feel that Du Jingshan was by her side every time she woke up. She tried to send some signals to him, but every time she exerted a little force, she would be dizzy and lose consciousness again.

After a few times, she gave up trying. When she woke up again, she calmly felt everything that happened around her. She wanted to determine the pattern of her wakefulness. At the same time, she also tried hard to think about what was wrong with her during the limited time she was awake.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng told her that her current status was special and related to both Ximo and Nanshen, so she must be careful of the Fifth Princess and Ling Yi. Last time at the state banquet, Ling Qiqi embarrassed the Fifth Princess in public, and the Fifth Princess would not let Ling Qiqi off easily this time. And Ling Yi might try to destroy the marriage between Beiwei and Ximo for the benefit of the Ninth Prince.

Could it be Ling Yi? She became like this after she came back from her reunion with him.

Based on her current symptoms, she felt that she was either poisoned or bewitched. If it was a bewitching spell, could it be Pei Chufeng? After all, he came from the birthplace of bewitching spells, Nan Shen.

Could it be the Fifth Princess? If so, how did she do it?

Too many questions made Ling Qiqi very anxious, and at the same time she was very afraid that she would continue like this.

She remembered seeing a real case before, in which a foreigner was diagnosed as a vegetative state for many years. Although he was paralyzed in bed all these years, his mind was always clear. When he was finally able to express himself, the first sentence he said was "Kill me", so he was called the loneliest person in the world.

She felt that she was experiencing the same horrible thing, like a dumb person tied up and drowning, unable to make a sound to call for help from the people on the shore, and could only watch himself sink into the abyss and wait to die.

She is different from the soulless walking dead. In fact, she is more pitiful than the heartless walking dead. She is a soul that cannot let go of desires. Although she is not isolated from the world, she is isolated from all living beings. They are obviously entangled but cannot touch each other.

She was like, no, she was a soul from another world, who could only helplessly wait for the final judgment and then the moment when her soul would be torn apart from this world.
