Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Pei Chufeng, who had regained his normal look, said:

"Then I'll have to ask my master to help me."

After saying that, he turned around and ran to find the witch doctor.

Ling Qiqi and Du Jingshan were waiting there, and saw Pei Chufeng following the witch doctor, begging for medicine in every possible way, but the witch doctor kept coming in and out and ignored him.

After a while, Pei Chufeng came back dejectedly and reported to them:

"My master is being stubborn again. He refuses to give me medicine no matter what. I guess I have to find another way."

Ling Qiqi already knew this would be the result, so she tugged at Du Jingshan's sleeve, motioning him to help her go find the witch doctor.

Du Jingshan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to her suggestion.

Ling Qiqi finally approached the place where the chief witch doctor was sitting step by step with great effort, but the chief witch doctor got up and left the house.

Ling Qiqi rolled her eyes, then turned around and walked towards the door step by step with the help of Du Jingshan. After finally reaching the door, she slid down and sat down on the threshold.

Du Jingshan hurried to help her, but she shook her head and refused to get up.

That's right, that's what she planned. She didn't believe that the witch doctor would stay away from the house, so she sat at the door to block her.

Finally, the witch doctor, who was really bored staying outside the house, stood outside the door and looked at Ling Qiqi who was sitting on the doorstep.

Ling Qiqi waved provocatively at the witch doctor, motioning her to come over.

The witch doctor's face was full of unhappiness. He strode towards Ling Qiqi, wanting to pass her and go straight into the house.

Just as he was about to raise his leg, Ling Qiqi unexpectedly shouted:

"aunt."

Although Ling Qiqi's voice was not loud, she spoke the two words very clearly.

The witch doctor stumbled and almost sprained his waist. He asked in disbelief:

"What did you call me?"

"aunt."

Pei Chufeng and Du Jingshan were also shocked. The three of them stared at Ling Qiqi with question marks on their faces.

Ling Qiqi didn't say another word, but just looked at the witch doctor with a pretended intimacy.

The witch doctor was like the girl in the story of the emperor's new clothes who was found out by a child that she was not wearing any clothes. She was so embarrassed that she pushed away all the people blocking the door in anger and walked into the house.

The three people at the door didn't dare to say a word. They cautiously looked into the room and saw the witch doctor sitting cross-legged on the bed sulking.

After a while, the witch doctor, who was almost angry, said to the three people at the door:

"What are you still doing standing at the door? Come in."

Du Jingshan didn't even wait for Ling Qiqi to get up, he just picked her up and carried her back to the couch.

The chief witch doctor and the seventh princess were sitting on the bed on the east side and the couch on the west side, respectively, looking at each other at the two ends of the room. After Pei Chufeng stepped into the room, he didn't know which end to stand at, and he didn't dare to block the sight of the two people. He could only stand at the door and watch what happened.

The witch doctor seemed to have finally made up his mind, walked up to Ling Qiqi, and sat on the couch facing her. Ling Qiqi had an expression that said, "I won't say anything, I'll listen to you."

The great witch doctor sighed and asked:

"How did you know?"

Ling Qiqi closed her eyes and pointed to her temple, meaning: I'm just guessing.

But in the eyes of the witch doctor, what she meant was that she was thinking deeply and thoughtfully. But she couldn't figure out how this little girl came up with it.

Seeing the witch doctor's puzzled look, Ling Qiqi reached out from under the pillow and took out a handkerchief. Wrapped in the handkerchief was the jade pendant that her mother left for her before she died.

She has always worn this jade pendant close to her body, mainly for emergency use. If she makes a mistake or gets into trouble, she can take out the jade pendant and let the emperor see it to remind her of her, thus allowing her to escape.

After she fell ill, because she needed to be washed and changed clothes frequently, Liu helped her take it off from her neck and put it in her purse. She only took it out of the package two days ago and put it under her pillow.

She had carefully compared this jade pendant with the one Pei Chufeng had given her before. They should be made from the same piece of jade. Not only were their colors, sizes, and shapes the same, but their patterns were also the same. The pattern in the middle of the two jade pendants was carved with a lifelike crane, but the crane on her mother's jade pendant had only one foot. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to tell the difference between the two jade pendants.

Ling Qiqi carefully put away the jade pendant that Pei Chufeng gave her, so now the jade pendant is still in the Bu Lao Pavilion of the Beiwei Palace.

Ling Qiqi handed the jade pendant in her hand to the witch doctor, who took it carefully and examined it. Her eyes gradually became moist as she recalled and narrated the story:

"You are as smart as your mother. You have a good idea. You should call me aunt. I am your mother's cousin and we have played together since childhood. Your mother was a princess of Wujin Kingdom. Later, she married the current Emperor Beiwei with her country as a dowry. But Wujin Kingdom still did not escape the fate of being bloodbathed and exterminated. It was at that time that I fled to Nan Shen, hiding my identity. In order to survive, I relied on some secret techniques of Wujin Kingdom to cure diseases and save people in exchange for some silver. Later, by chance, I became the great witch doctor of Nan Shen."

Memories brought back past events. The witch doctor was in a very bad mood and didn't want to say anything more. He turned around and left the house to get some fresh air.

The three people who stayed in the room looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts at the same time: It really is my aunt.

Especially Ling Qiqi, she wondered what luck she had that she could guess so accurately. Fortunately, she couldn't speak, otherwise her true IQ was almost exposed. It was a close call.

Ling Qiqi winked at Pei Chufeng, signaling him to follow the witch doctor. Pei Chufeng then remembered that he still had something important to ask of the witch doctor, so he quickly chased after him.

Pei Chufeng waited until the witch doctor calmed down before telling him their plan in detail. The witch doctor stopped making a fuss and readily gave them the drug that could make people fake death and the corresponding antidote, and instructed Pei Chufeng how to use the drug and the times to pay attention to.

After Pei Chufeng got the medicine, he was about to say goodbye and go down the mountain. Ling Qiqi mouthed the word "family" to Du Jingshan.

Du Jingshan understood and translated to Pei Chufeng:

"If Liu refuses to cooperate with you, you can threaten her family's safety."

Pei Chufeng nodded, told the Seventh Princess to take good care of herself, and then hurried down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Pei Chufeng felt secretly delighted that his master was actually the Seventh Princess' aunt, and his relationship with the Seventh Princess became even closer.

Recently, he has been busy with the Seventh Princess' affairs. The Second Prince has advised him more than once to avoid suspicion and not get close to the Seventh Princess. Whether she is dead or alive, she is a trouble.

Reason told him that his second brother was right, but he just couldn't put his knowledge into practice.

It's like asking you not to think about the red elephant in the room. The more you tell yourself not to think about it, the clearer the red elephant becomes in your mind.

To her, the Seventh Princess is like a beautiful poisonous plant. You have witnessed its beauty, and also seen how it was once dying. Now that it has finally recovered some vitality, how can you let it go so easily? How can you not take better care of it? You even begin to doubt, is it really poisonous?

Now that the Seventh Princess was his junior sister, he could legitimately take care of her. He wanted to tell Ah Ran the news as soon as possible to make her happy.

However, there are too many secrets about the master, such as why she poisoned the jade pendant? Why was the Wujin Kingdom destroyed? These need to be solved one by one.
