Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The next morning, the Northern Emperor invited Pei Chufeng and Pei Churan, brother and sister, into the palace, hoping to send the Seventh Princess to Nan Shen to seek treatment from the great witch doctor.

Pei Chufeng had already guessed the Northern Emperor's plan and was worried about how to refuse. Originally, his father had told him not to have too close a relationship with the royal family of Beiwei, but now he was just taking the princess back to Nan Shen. In addition, the witch doctor always had a strange temper, and sometimes he would not even give his father face. Whether he could treat the Seventh Princess depended on his mood. If he took the princess back and ignored her, wouldn't the Southern Shen royal family be in a difficult situation? In addition, the Seventh Princess was in such a physical condition, and the journey to Nan Shen was long and winding. If something happened to her, how would they in Nan Shen explain to the Northern Emperor?

Pei Chufeng knew that he had to refuse, but when he thought of the lifeless appearance of the Seventh Princess, which formed a sharp contrast with her beautiful eyes and bright smile before, he felt reluctant. He couldn't open his mouth to refuse the Northern Emperor. What if the great witch doctor was the Seventh Princess' only hope?

Seeing that Pei Chufeng didn't say anything, Bei Huang spoke from the bottom of his heart:

"I know the Third Prince's concerns, but I hope he can understand that as a father, I just want to give my daughter a chance to live. It's ridiculous that as the ruler of a country, I hold the power of life and death, but I can't even save my own daughter. I know that the Seventh Princess has little hope, but now there is no other way. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to take a risk. If the witch doctor can cure the Seventh Princess, he will be my benefactor. If he can't, I will not have any complaints. The life and death of the Seventh Princess is her destiny."

Bei Huang spoke with such sincerity that Pei Chufeng was speechless.

Seeing Pei Chufeng remained silent, Ah Ran was very anxious. When she returned yesterday, she was severely criticized by Pei Chufeng, who also told her the pros and cons and told her not to interfere in government affairs. She had a big fight with Pei Chufeng over this.

What is the righteousness of the world, what is the national interest, is it necessary to be so calculative even to save a person's life? Just because that person is the princess of Beiwei? This is not a political matter, this is a human life.

But Pei Chufeng told her that as a princess she enjoyed things that others could not enjoy, so she also had to bear things that others could not bear, including her life.

She wanted to refute, but she knew that from Pei Chufeng's point of view, he was right. As the princess of Nan Shen, she should bear what she should bear and not just be emotional. But she couldn't do it.

Now that the Northern Emperor has said this, and Pei Chufeng still refuses to respond, she can only take a gamble.

"Your Majesty, A'ran has an unwelcome request."

"Just say it." Bei Huang said magnanimously.

"Your Majesty, the Great Shaman of our Southern Mirage has a special status and is not controlled by our Southern Mirage royal family. Moreover, this Great Shaman has always acted on his own, and even my father can't do anything about him. The Great Shaman usually responds to the requests of the common people, but he doesn't take the powerful people seriously. The Seventh Princess's status may make her rejected by the Great Shaman. But if..."

Ah Ran hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and continued:

"If the Seventh Princess was not a princess, but a girl from an ordinary family, perhaps the Great Witch Doctor would give it a try."

"Aran!" Pei Chufeng accused harshly, "You are overstepping your authority."

For a moment, no one spoke. Seeing that it would be fruitless to continue, the Northern Emperor did not want to embarrass the brother and sister anymore and asked them to go back first.

In fact, on the way back, A'ran was a little regretful about what she had just said. She felt that her idea was a bit self-deceiving and self-deception. She had been protected too well by her brothers since she was a child, and she didn't have to worry about anything. Last night, she used her brain for the first time. She thought why couldn't it be simpler, just return this matter to a patient going to a doctor for treatment. There is no conflict of interest between countries, no love and hatred between people, and it is not a princess of a country and a princess of another country.

Pei Churan's words just now made Bei Huang suddenly enlightened. That's right, if the Seventh Princess was not a princess, Nan Shen would not have any scruples. He would not have to worry about Bei Wei being embarrassed if he could not cure her. If he cured Bei Wei, he would owe Nan Shen a big favor. For Nan Shen, it would be a piece of cake and a sure win.

But how to make the Seventh Princess not a princess? The title of princess can't be taken away for no reason, not to mention that the Seventh Princess has just been engaged to the Sixth Prince, and the relationship with Ximo needs to be maintained, so it must be carefully planned.

So the next day, the Northern Emperor invited Pei Chufeng and his sister into the palace again. This time, he asked them to go directly to the Bulao Pavilion, the residence of the Seventh Princess.

Ah Ran was stunned as he looked at the person lying on the bed. Is this the Seventh Princess? How come she has changed in just two days? It's like she has become a completely different person.

Before A'ran could ask, Bei Huang said:

"As you two can see, the Seventh Princess is now completely different from her previous self due to her illness, and so many doctors are unable to diagnose what disease the Seventh Princess has. We don't know if it will infect others. To be on the safe side, from today on, I will order people to guard the Immortal Pavilion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Do you understand my painstaking efforts, Third Prince?"

Pei Chufeng naturally understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was afraid that he could no longer refuse. Being blamed by his father when he returned was no big deal. It all depended on the Seventh Princess' luck.

A few days later, the Nan Shen delegation returned to the country, and the Bei Huang led a group of officials to see them off in person. The scene was even more exciting than the one when they saw off the Xi Mo delegation.

The delegation had not gone far when another team of carriages and horses followed closely behind.

From the outside, the team of carriages and horses that followed were ordinary, and seemed to be an ordinary caravan that was traveling with the delegation. In the largest carriage in the caravan, Ling Qiqi was still lying unconscious. Now she was no longer the seventh princess of Beiwei, but the daughter of a merchant. Accompanying her were Du Jingshan and Liu.

Originally, Yu'er also wanted to follow secretly, but was stopped by Du Jingshan. Yu'er's identity could not be exposed, and these businesses in the capital also needed her and Li Chuan to take care of.

The Northern Emperor had blocked all news about the Seventh Princess. People inside and outside the palace only knew that the Seventh Princess had fallen seriously ill a while ago, and the Northern Emperor had posted a notice seeking medical treatment. Now the Seventh Princess has not recovered yet and is still recuperating in the palace.

Therefore, Ximo had no idea that the Seventh Princess was in danger, and was still feeling complacent about the marriage he had just made.

Lu Cheng had already learned the true situation of Ling Qiqi from the secret letter sent by Lichuan. He had just left Beiwei when Ling Qiqi got into trouble, which was really worrying. But no matter how anxious he was, it would be useless. He didn't know medicine, and it didn't matter whether he was with Ling Qiqi or not. Moreover, he had no choice now, so he could only return to Ximo with the second prince and make plans later. As long as Du Jingshan was with Ling Qiqi, he could still feel more at ease. In addition, he had asked someone to notify Qi Qing to secretly investigate suspicious people who might harm the seventh princess.

At that time, there were three groups of spies secretly investigating the matter. One group was Lu Cheng, one was Bei Huang, and the other was Ling Yi.

Ling Yi sent a secret letter to the Ninth Prince, asking whether he had sent anyone to harm the Seventh Princess. However, after the letter was sent, it fell into the sea. The Ninth Prince did not reply to him, and he was obviously angry.
