Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Wen Jiu's pupils dilated rapidly before returning to normal. He continued to eat, the photos in his hand no longer seeming to matter. "Really? When?"

"It's not long, it's enough for us to have a cold war for several years. It's also short, when you are in your prime, I should leave this world forever and return to my original world."

Qiao Shinian took two more steps forward: "Wen Jiu, let's make peace. It's my fault. My hesitation and weakness made you face many things alone, which resulted in me not being by your side when you needed me the most.

Didn't we agree to stay together until the end of the journey? I'm sorry, I broke the promise."

Wen Jiu didn't say anything, just put down the spoon, took a big bite of the bun, and then chewed it slowly.

"Please forgive me, okay?" Qiao Shinian pleaded in an almost coquettish tone.

Wen Jiu said nothing and continued eating.

Thinking about the unpleasantness just now, Qiao Shinian still wanted to turn around and leave. She had never done such a thing to coax Wen Jiu. The two of them had almost no conflicts before.

Now all she had to do was apologize to Wen Jiu. As for the final outcome, Qiao Shinian had already prepared for the worst. If Wen Jiu had really changed, then she would change her plan and continue to do what she should do.

Wen Jiu looked up and asked, "How many years until I leave?"

"Twelve years, when you were thirty-eight," Qiao Shinian replied. "Actually, at first glance, it seems like a long time. After all, I've only been in this world for less than ten years, and we've already been through so much."

Wen Jiu looked at the photo on the table in silence and asked, "Are you together with him?"

"Do you care a lot?" Qiao Shinian asked with his head tilted.

Wen Jiu didn't say anything. He stared at the person in the photo. The man's smile was very eye-catching.

That man was from her world. He had the same face as the early deceased Mu Qingchen. Everyone who knew Qiao Shinian in this world could almost conclude that this man was another Mu Qingchen.

Wen Jiu didn't want to admit that he cared, but when Qiao Shinian stood there and took out the photo, he had to admit that he cared a lot.

While she was chatting and laughing with this man in her world, he was here, on guard against everything.

Converting the time, she was with this man for a month, so they...

Wen Jiu felt that the bun was a bit choking and he had no mood to eat breakfast.

"Go back and change your clothes. I'll take you to see them for the last time." Wen Jiu didn't answer Qiao Shinian's question, as if he had forgotten what he had just asked.

"Wen Jiu, tell me for sure. Do you hate me, blame me, or are you determined not to have anything to do with me anymore? Can our relationship still be the same as before?" Qiao Shinian finally asked. "You know, the person I care about most in this world is you."

"As long as you say it, I will believe it. I want you to tell me what happened over the years. I want to hear it from your own mouth. Everyone has their own standpoint, so everyone's account is based on their own perspective.

Wen Jiu, I just want to hear you say that we are a united front. At least before you say we can no longer be a group, we are on the same line.

Hearing Qiao Shinian's words, Wen Jiu's expression was moved. All the grievances accumulated over the years suddenly emerged. He suppressed the dryness in his throat and said, "Do you really think so?"

"What else? Why else do you think I came here two days before the end of the journey? I just wanted to check out the situation and see if you needed anything so I could prepare."

Qiao Shinian breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed at her suitcase and said again, "I told you that you can only get these dangerous things abroad. I was worried that you would still be on the battlefield when I traveled through time, so I asked someone to prepare these weapons for you."

"But you...just said you wanted to take it away."

"You make me angry! I didn't want to pay attention to you, but, but I can't stand you treating me like this.

Wen Jiu, I'm so sad that you treat me like this. I'm so sad that I'm about to cry, can't you see it? "

Wen Jiu lowered his head: "I can't tell."

"Wen Jiu, I was wrong. Let's make peace." Qiao Shinian placed the box on the suitcase, walked over to Wen Jiu, and took his hand. "Okay?"

Wen Jiu still lowered his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, wanting to shake her hand back, but in the end, he only moved his fingers slightly: "Look at the sincerity of your apology. I am no longer the person I was back then. I will not be dismissed by your few words or trivial remarks."

"I knew it, we are the best in the world!" Qiao Shinian felt relieved, "You are not allowed to ignore me anymore."

"It depends on your performance." Wen Jiu wanted to pull his hand back, but when he found he couldn't, he let Qiao Shinian hold it. "Do you like him?"

"I have nothing to do with him." Qiao Shinian replied.

Wen Jiu was satisfied: "Since you are worried about these things...why...why not...just live in the palace."

"I thought you didn't want to see me." Qiao Shinian looked at the person who kept his head down and didn't look at her, and felt a little happy in her heart. Fortunately, they were not really going to break up.

If she and Wen Jiu became strangers, how miserable would it be for her to live in this world for another ten years?

"Will you come back on time?" Wen Jiu asked again softly.

"Yes, from now on, unless I encounter a terrorist attack, I will definitely come back on time." Qiao Shinian's voice became much more cheerful.

Wen Jiu looked up at Qiao Shinian: "Isn't the place you live in safe?"

"It's not very safe. You know if you want to get these things, you can't get them in a place that is too safe." Qiao Shinian pointed to the box.

Wen Jiu's eyes darkened: "I don't need these. Our army is very strong now."

"Dangerous weapons can kill more people, but they can also protect more people," said Qiao Shinian.

Seeing Wen Jiu lower his head again, Qiao Shinian released his hand and cupped his cheek: "Wen Jiu, are Jiao Xue and the others going to die?"

"Well." Wen Jiu clenched his hands slightly, "Don't you want to know what I've been through all these years? Well, tonight I'll tell you how I got through all these years."

The touch of Qiao Shinian's hand still lingered. Wen Jiu was secretly delighted at first, but then realized his own hopelessness. He sighed and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see them. We can talk as we walk."

"Okay." Qiao Shinian raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the box: "Then I will live in the palace from now on. You must protect these things well. When I have time, I will take you to test the power of these things."

Wen Jiu nodded, stood up, took the buns in one hand, and walked out holding Qiao Shinian's hand with the other.

When some old people in the palace saw Qiao Shinian, they were shocked at first and then immediately bowed their heads respectfully.

The person who was coming towards her greeted Qiao Shinian respectfully, "Miss, you're back."

·

This was Qiao Shinian's first time in the dungeon of the Mingjian Bureau in Beijing. Following Wen Jiu, he passed through numerous checkpoints and finally arrived at the cell where Jiao Xue and the others were.

Along the way, Qiao Shinian did not smell any bad smell, but only felt a chill.

"Why is Prince Yongle so honored to visit..."

Jiao Xue looked at Wen Jiu coldly, paused before she finished speaking, and turned her head away.

"I...Is it okay if I talk to them alone?" Qiao Shinian asked.

This dungeon contained simple tables, chairs, benches, and two beds. However, Jiao Xue was the only one in this cell. The person she shared the cell with must have been moved to another cell in advance.

Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian and saw her pleading look. He was silent for a while before turning around and leaving.

Watching him leave with the guard beside him, Qiao Shinian spread out her palm and opened the door with the key that Wen Jiu had just given her.

"Miss, you...are back." Seeing Qiao Shinian approaching her, Jiao Xue had no choice but to stand up. "Miss, I have followed your instructions. If you are here to persuade me to confess my guilt, I'm sorry I can't do this."

There were torches outside the wall and dim candlelight inside. Qiao Shinian stood in front of Jiao Xue and looked at the child carefully. Her tenacity back then was admired by everyone.

Jiao Xue lowered her head and refused to look up at Qiao Shinian.

"Tell me why you did this. I want to hear your thoughts." Qiao Shinian said.

Jiao Xue secretly raised her head and glanced at Qiao Shinian. After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Let me first state that I am not wrong.

Girl, although you have always advocated that women should leave the harem and that men and women should be equal, there is no equality at all. When I entered the court as an official, those male officials looked up to us because of you, but that was just a glance.

Their inherent arrogance never changed, and later, those who were not as good as me also changed and became fawning. They fawned over me like they fawned over their male superiors, and I thought that they looked down on us simply because we were of lower status.

His Majesty has not promoted female officials in recent years, so it is difficult to get promoted. He saw our abilities, he began to believe in slander, and he was afraid of us.

I think if a woman became emperor, the fate of us female officials would definitely not be what it is now.

So, as the old emperor has been increasingly weak over the years, I've been searching for candidates. Princess Shenghe is the most suitable. She has ambition, means, power, and is a member of the royal family. No one can question her succession to the throne.

After all, the world has not changed its owner, it is still the world of the Wen family.

Girl, you said that in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used. Why can men be emperors, but women can’t?

Qiao Shinian listened to Jiao Xue's words with a smile, and replied to Jiao Xue's anxious expression, "You are very brave. You are ahead of me. You are not wrong in this matter."

Jiao Xue looked up at Qiao Shinian in disbelief, her voice trembling, "Girl...you...you agree with us."

Qiao Shinian nodded, confirming without hesitation: "Yes, your idea is very good, much bolder than mine. I just think that many years after gender equality, perhaps we should choose a female emperor based on this idea.

You are directly creating this condition. You are very brave and you are also a pioneer."
