Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince
Chapter 18 True Face
The three of them discussed for a long time, as well as An Tian and Mo Fei's responsibilities tomorrow. They were responsible for preparing Qiao Shinian's clothes and makeup tomorrow, as well as the people they would deal with when the three of them sat at the same table tomorrow, and in case Qiao Shinian traveled back again, how the three of them would use the limited time to prepare a strategy for survival in the enemy country.
"Whether the time travel will end depends on tonight. Okay! I'm going to sleep!" Qiao Shinian looked at Mo Feibai, "Xiaobai, you should also go back to your room and sleep. Tomorrow at Brother Shuan's wedding, whether our trio of troublemakers will fail to perform well depends on you!"
An Tian and Qiao Shinian lay together, and their tone was quite serious: "We have a long way to go! Xiaobai, the dignity of the three of us is in your hands!"
Mo Feibai Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on you two! I'm not a think tank for nothing!"
"Okay!" An Tian turned her head and looked at Qiao Shinian: "Yoyo, go to sleep, I'll accompany you."
Qiao Shinian nodded.
Then she suffered from insomnia.
Amidst all the emotions of tension, resistance, anticipation, and torment, her pretended calm was broken, and she knew she was still afraid.
She was afraid to follow Wen Jiu to a more unfamiliar country, afraid that she could not help Wen Jiu, afraid that her act of taking Wen Jiu away would anger the emperor, and afraid that she would die if she traveled through time.
I should have called my parents earlier.
She wanted to go over and hug Wen Jiu more. She wanted to hug that poor child who was abandoned by everyone.
More importantly, he was abandoned by his own father.
How could his life be so miserable when his mother didn't love him and his father didn't like him?
So, what was the meaning of her traveling through time? To protect this child?
Is she a gift from God to this child?
"If you travel through time again, it may really be something that will not be interrupted for the time being. Then Yoyo, you have to become stronger together with Wen Jiu, or you have to make him stronger, so that the two of you can survive in that world."
Mo Feibai's words echoed in her ears again.
"Powerful?" Qiao Shinian murmured.
An Tian didn't say anything, but just opened her eyes and looked at the dark ceiling. She listened to Qiao Shinian's movements beside her, just breathing calmly, and didn't say a word.

He walked back to his palace in silence under the glaring sunlight. There was still one day left before his departure.
Wen Jiu looked at the people in front of the palace and walked over expressionlessly: "Brother Jiu, what is the matter with you coming here?"
The Ninth Prince Wen He looked at Wen Jiu with pity and said, "Thirteenth Brother, you have a long journey and it will be inconvenient in another country. I can't do anything for you. I heard that today is your birthday. This is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I hope you don't dislike it."
After Wen He finished speaking, the worker behind him came forward holding a box.
Wen Jiu bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Jiu. I will repay you when I have the chance."
"Brothers, don't talk too much about repayment." Wen He patted Wen Jiu's shoulder. He was three years older than Wen Jiu. He was weak and sickly since birth, and because his biological mother was not favored, he was mostly a invisible person in the palace.
Originally, he was the most likely candidate for Zhou State's hostage, but Wen Jiu came back, so no matter how transparent he was, he could not compete with Wen Jiu and was more hated by others.
Wen Jiu looked up with a touched smile. Just as he was about to say something, he heard an arrogant voice.
"Thirteenth Prince, today is your birthday. My Highness Prince Gu has sent me to bring you a gift." An arrogant and frivolous female voice came quickly to Wen Jiu with the sound of footsteps.
A pretty palace maid in goose yellow opened the box held by the palace servant behind her with contempt, "Your Highness has been back to the palace for so long and you don't have a pair of good shoes. Our Highness specially asked someone to make a pair of shoes for you. I wish you a safe journey to Zhou Kingdom."
Wen He's face changed when he saw the pair of shoes. Originally, when Wen Jiu came back, everyone was very polite. But after his father confirmed Zhou Guo as the hostage, everyone changed their attitude towards this unlucky thirteenth brother.
Naturally, no one was afraid of a prince who went to the Zhou Kingdom and didn't know whether he could come back alive. People in the palace were used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and Wen Jiu's food also plummeted after that.
Looking at the dirty shoes in the box, Wen Jiu walked up to the maid and looked at her carefully: “I remember you, when my sister was practicing dancing, you applied oil on her floor and she almost slipped.
He led others to laugh at my sister's dancing, saying that she danced in a weird way. "
The maid snorted coldly, "She is just a village girl, why should the Thirteenth Prince worry about her? It is just right that she has left. If Your Highness Thirteenth Prince hangs around with her, it will lower your status. I am just trying to make her realize her status so as not to cause trouble to Your Highness."
Wen Jiu ignored him and continued, "But my sister is simple-minded. She naively thought that it was just that our floor needed daily oiling and maintenance. She thought she had chosen the wrong time to dance. She also despised your ridicule and said that you didn't understand that it was an adapted dance, a new trend.
But she doesn't know how mean you are, but I do.
She may not pursue the matter, but I will. "Wen Jiu walked up to the maid and kicked her in the calf.
The maid knelt down in pain, glaring at Wen Jiu: "I am His Royal Highness Prince Gu's person, how dare you do this to me!"
"Oh." Wen Jiu pulled out the dagger from his waist, and without waiting for the frightened palace maid to say anything, he squatted on the ground, stabbed the knife into her thigh, and immediately pulled it out, then wiped the blood on her clothes.
Blood suddenly gushed out.
"She said there are large arteries in the neck and legs. She said the arteries in the legs can cause people to bleed to death. I want to see if my feel is accurate. Also, I don't like this pair of shoes. Remember to tell Brother Shi about it when I get back."
The maid who nearly fainted screamed in fear: "Carry me back quickly! Quick! His Royal Highness Prince Gu will not let you go!"
When the group hurriedly carried the arrogant palace maid out, Wen Jiu put away his previous cruelty and turned to look at Wen He: "Brother Jiu, what you just saw was that she provoked me first. I was just protecting the dignity of the royal family."
Wen He nodded, and the look he gave Wen Jiu was no longer as sympathetic as before. What Wen Jiu had just said and the fact that he acted without hesitation made him realize that this brother who had been on the road for a year before returning to Beijing was definitely not a good person.
"Your Highness, she is the maidservant of His Highness Prince Gu, who is the most beloved prince of His Majesty. How can you act so rashly!" The eunuch behind Wen Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears. His voice was filled with accusations. "You may be fine, but we servants may not survive! What should we do if His Highness Prince Gu blames us? Please have mercy on us and go and apologize to His Highness Prince Gu."
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows, looked at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground, and after a while he smiled and said, "I have a way to prevent him from taking your life."
The young eunuch raised his head, but before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his neck. He reached out to touch it and was immediately shocked.
He wanted to say something, but the blood gushing out of his neck made it impossible for him to speak.
"If I kill you, you won't have to worry about being killed by Brother Ten. Isn't this a perfect solution to your worries?"
