The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Before and after the two times of traveling, the hairpin was always in my hand, but the spear only touched my palm during the first time. After traveling, the spear was not in my hand, but next to the armor in the underground secret passage where I was after traveling. During the second time of traveling, I held the spear in my hand, but after traveling, the spear was still not in my hand, but was inserted diagonally on the prop rack of the old house...

Could it be that this spear is the "door" to travel through time, and the hairpin is the "key" to travel through time?

Do you have to hold the hairpin, which is the "key" to travel through time, to get to the location of the "door" of the spear?

Gu Nianzhi seemed to have discovered the secret of time travel.

She picked up the hairpin on the ground, held it nervously in her hand, then walked to the prop stand, as if she had made up her mind, took a deep breath, and resolutely grasped the spear.

The imagined time travel did not happen, and she was still standing there.

"What did I overlook?"

"I was holding the hairpin and bumped into the spear both times I traveled through time, but why did Sima Yao travel with me the second time?"

Gu Nianzhi looked at Sima Yao who was already fast asleep.

Rather than being in a deep sleep, it would be more like he was in a mild coma due to excessive blood loss.

There were several streaks of solidified blood on Sima Yao's face. Gu Nianzhi looked at his own palms, which were still stained with blood.

When I first grasped the spear with this hand, there was blood on my palm from pressing the wound for Sima Yao, and there was also blood flowing from the wound on my arm. In other words, when I touched the spear, the blood of both Sima Yao and myself was stained on the spear...

When I crossed over for the first time, the spear head pierced my palm, and the blood from the wound flowed onto the spear, and then I crossed over...

Is it...

The hairpin is the "key", the spear is the "door", and the blood is the mysterious energy that turns the lock and finally opens the door?

"Yes, that should be it."

Gu Nianzhi reviewed all the details of the two time travels in her mind again, and she felt more and more that her inference was correct.

She picked up the small pair of scissors from the prop tray, made up her mind, and cut a line on the palm of her hand.

The blood flow was not much. She endured the pain and squeezed the blood around the wound, holding the blood in her palm. Then she took the hairpin again, facing the spear with the palm of her hand that contained a small handful of blood, and held the spear firmly in her hand.

It seemed as if a strong electric current was transmitted from the palms of my hands to every corner of my body.

A very strong light flashed before my eyes.

Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but close his eyes.

Ben's hand holding the spear suddenly felt empty.

When Gu Nianzhi opened his eyes again, everything around him had changed.

Once again she returned to the cave where she had hidden from the masked men.

The spear lay quietly not far from the cave entrance.

He looked down at his palms.

The palm of my hand that I cut with a pair of small scissors before traveling through time is healing...

At a speed visible to the naked eye.

The hairpin is the key, the spear is the door, and the blood is the energy.

This is the condition for crossing.

As long as I get Sima Yao's blood, I can bring him back!

The more Gu Nianzhi thought about it, the more excited she became. Seeing that the wound on her palm had completely healed, she decisively stabbed her palm with the tip of the spear. As expected, she successfully traveled back to reality.

Sima Yao was still asleep and had no idea that Gu Nianzhi had traveled through time.

Looking at Sima Yao, Gu Nianzhi felt a little troubled.

If Sima Yao is forcibly injured in order to get blood, he will definitely wake up. If he travels through time while awake and knows the secret of time travel, he will definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.

Now he must remain in a coma during the crossing.

Gu Nianzhi glanced at the inconspicuous bricks next to the prop box, which were originally used to hold down the background cloth during the performance.

She planned to use this thing to commit murder today.

Gu Nianzhi quietly placed the brick next to Sima Yao and then woke him up.

"Third Prince, the masked men are chasing us. I'm afraid we can't escape."

"Then let's fight to the death." Sima Yao struggled to stand up, but his body was weak.

"The enemy outnumbers us, so we can't fight head-on." Gu Nianzhi supported Sima Yao, "If the Third Prince believes in me, I want to cast a spell that will allow us to teleport to another place and temporarily avoid their pursuit, but..."

"Just what?"

"However, this spell requires the blood of the teleporter. Nianzhi is just a commoner, so it doesn't matter if he bleeds a little, but the Third Prince is a dragon descendant, so I dare not..."

"Saving your life is the most important thing." Sima Yao snatched the scissors from Gu Nianzhi's hand and wiped his wrist without hesitation. A stream of blood flowed out: "This is enough?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Nianzhi had already hit Sima Yao on the back of the neck with a brick, "I'm sorry, Third Prince."

Sima Yao frowned, his eyes went dark, and he fell limply to the ground.

Gu Nianzhi cut her wrist, lowered her hand slightly to let the blood flow naturally into her palm, then lifted Sima Yao's wrist and dripped his blood into her own palm.

The blood of the two people mixed in Gu Nianzhi's palm.

Gu Nianzhi picked up the Phoenix Jade Hairpin and quickly grasped the spear with her hand stained with the blood of both of them...

She finally succeeded in bringing the unconscious Sima Yao back to the cave where they were hiding.

Looking at Sima Yao's wrist, the wound was healing as expected.

"I have to travel back before he wakes up."

Gu Nianzhi was about to walk towards the spear, but he hesitated.

She couldn't help but look at Sima Yao.

She gave advice to the man in front of her, rode with him for thousands of miles, and fought enemies together through life and death; she had seen this man naked, and this man had studied her underwear for a long time; they had been to brothels, listened to songs, and caught fireflies together; she had fought with him in bed with a mask on, and she had also slept with him calmly...

In just a few weeks, she and this man experienced things that she had never experienced in her life for more than twenty years.

After we say goodbye now, I guess we will never see each other again.

To Sima Yao, he should be just a mysterious strategist who suddenly appeared and disappeared, but to herself, he would be a man that she would never forget in her life.

If he were a man in real life, maybe I would fall in love with him.

It’s a pity that the two people live in different time and space, and the paper man is just a paper man after all.

Gu Nianzhi squatted in front of Sima Yao and reached out to gently stroke Sima Yao's face. She wanted to remember this face firmly and never forget it again.

"If I can live in the same time and space in the afterlife, I hope we can still be... best friends."

——Goodbye, Sima Yao.
