The next day, Qiao Shinian slept until she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Jiu's face.

"Aren't you very busy?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Wen Jiu's face was filled with happiness, and his tone was full of pride: "I am now the Yongle Prince who has the greatest power in the world. No one dares to say anything when I am idle."

"Oh, I see." Qiao Shinian yawned and stood up. "What time did we talk last night?"

"I don't know, probably around three or four. It's already noon now." Wen Jiu also sat up and looked at her. He couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Let's sleep together tonight, okay?"

"Not good." Qiao Shinian shook his head.

Wen Jiu's expression suddenly turned cold: "Sure enough, you just don't cherish what you have. I was just about to forgive you, and you treated me like this."

"Be good, you're already 26." Qiao Shinian turned around and cupped Wen Jiu's face. "As for me, your sister, I don't mind you liking me now, but it's not right for us to be like this. It's like having an affair."

"Cheating...having an affair?" Wen Jiu suddenly became shy. "Who wants to have an affair with you? I...I'm the Prince of Yongle. What woman wouldn't like me?"

"I'm like that. If I had come a few years earlier, I might have seen you wearing diapers or wetting the bed." Qiao Shinian smiled and stood up. When Wen Jiu wanted to refute, he kissed him on the forehead: "Good morning kiss, even though it's not morning yet."

"I...I..." Wen Jiu wanted to say a few more stubborn words to save his face, but Qiao Shinian's kiss was a bit too strong. He stared blankly at Qiao Shinian getting out of bed and rummaging for clothes.

Wen Jiu touched his forehead, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This woman tried to please him in this way, so he should reluctantly forgive her a little more.

Wen Jiu thought about it, and the corners of his mouth, which had just been suppressed, rose again.

Qiao Shinian walked to the bed with two sets of clothes in his hands. Before changing, he thought of something: "Come up here and take off all your shirts."

"What are you doing?" Wen Jiu was surprised and tightened his clothes, "Don't do anything rash."

"Oh? I won't do anything rash?" Qiao Shinian put one foot on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull Wen Jiu's clothes off: "Don't you expect me to do anything rash to you?"

"I... I also have my dignity. I can't just take it off." Wen Jiu turned his head away. The shy look on his face made Qiao Shinian not know whether to be happy or guilty.

"Be good and let me see." Qiao Shinian took off Wen Jiu's shirt. Looking at the large and small wounds on his chest, Qiao Shinian felt a little uncomfortable. "Turn around."

"Oh." Wen Jiu stopped talking nonsense and turned around honestly. The wounds on his back and chest, both big and small, proved the dangers Wen Jiu had endured on the battlefield in recent years.

Qiao Shinian gently touched one of the penetrating wounds: "How did you get this wound?"

"I think he was shot through by someone. There are so many things that I can't remember." Wen Jiu replied.

The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them completely disappeared. Wen Jiu turned around silently and looked at Qiao Shinian, seeing that her eyes were full of heartache and guilt.

Wen Jiu felt the grievance in his heart suddenly spread out, he pulled Qiao Shinian into his arms and hugged him tightly: "Sister, why can you have the heart to not come back to see me for so many years?

Do you know that I miss you so much? When I was infected with the plague and lying in bed waiting to die, I wondered, if I died, would I be able to find you in your world?

Later, I thought, I don't even know where your world is, how can I find you? Thinking of this, I dare not think about death. I want to live well. I believe that one day you will relent and want to come back to see how I am doing. Then, I will be able to see you again.

Do you know that you occupy half of my life? When I hate you, I can completely forget you, but I can't help but allow myself to miss you a little bit, just a little bit, like a weed that can't be removed. "

Qiao Shinian listened to Wen Jiu's words, hugged him as he did in the past, and gently stroked his back.

A long time later, when Wen Jiu had calmed down, Qiao Shi asked in a young voice, "After all these years, do you still like me?"

"Yeah! I like you so much! I wanted to hate you, but the moment you appeared, I was so happy that I wanted to rush down and hug you, to imprison you by my side forever, so that you could never leave me.

If there was a medicine in the world that could make a person inseparable from another person, I would definitely find it and use it on you. You came for me, and we promised to never leave each other, so you can only be mine!

Qiao Shinian looked at the bed curtain and sighed deeply: "Since you still like it so much, I'll give it a try.

Wen Jiu, I have never hated your love for me. I care about you very much, so in the years to come I will try to love you as much as you love me, until I can no longer stay here. "

"Really?" Wen Jiu raised his head and looked at Qiao Shinian. Qiao Shinian was reflected in his eyes. He stared at her closely: "Really? Are you ready to like me? It doesn't have to be too much, just a little bit will be fine."

"Yeah. As I said yesterday, I can still live here for twelve years. When I come back, the one I'll miss the most is you, so I want to reconcile with you quickly. I don't want to quarrel with you. I want to be good to you."

Qiao Shinian raised her hand and stroked his cheek. "Wen Jiu, I want to make you happy and stop being lonely. Although you already have concubines, I still think you still need me."

"Yes, yes, I will always need you." Wen Jiu nodded quickly, and suddenly explained: "Those women are not what you think. I... I... they..."

Qiao Shinian smiled and pinched Wen Jiu's lips: "Okay, no explanation, I just know that it's me you like.

Didn’t you say that before? You will have other women, but they will not be your favorites.

Wen Jiu nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Shinian said no more and pulled Wen Jiu's clothes on: "Okay, get up and eat."

"Sister, you have to take what you said about liking me to heart." Wen Jiu reluctantly walked to the back holding the clothes to change.

While changing clothes, Qiao Shinian thought about what Yue Yu had told her before, that Wen Jiu now had a future princess.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shinian looked up at himself in the mirror.

The self in the mirror was filled with hesitation.

When the two dressed and went out, Yue Yu came forward and said with a smile: "Someone came from the palace this morning and said that His Majesty wants to see you."

Qiao Shinian's heart skipped a beat. Someone came in the morning, and now it's already noon.

She looked up at Wen Jiu, but Wen Jiu said nonchalantly, "Eat first, then go after dinner."

"Okay." Qiao Shinian felt relieved by Wen Jiu's attitude, but he also had more doubts.

After dinner, the two of them rode in a swaying carriage and followed the young eunuch to the palace. The journey was smooth until they reached the palace road where the carriage could not move forward, and then they walked to the imperial study.

Along the way, Qiao Shinian had so many questions he wanted to ask.

Just like when she left, the palace had not changed at all. This time when she came back, her mentality had changed a little more than before.

"Wen Jiu." Qiao Shinian stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers with his, indicating that she had something to say before going in.

Wen Jiu gave her a 'relax' look, released her hand, and stepped into the room first: "Father, I heard you were looking for me."

Emperor Gao Wen put down his brush, looked up at Wen Jiu, and then his gaze fell on Qiao Shinian. He stood up and said, "I'm not looking for you, but our great goddess."

Qiao Shinian was wearing a veil and she looked at Emperor Gao Wen expressionlessly.

This once aloof emperor was now very old, with a sagging face, wrinkles on his upper eyelids, lower eyelids like melted butter, and his face almost covered with age spots.

The only thing that remained unchanged from before was his sharp gaze, which was the pressure accumulated from being an emperor for decades.

"Great? No, I'm not great. You are the ones who are great. I gave you only a seed, and you turned it into food. I gave you only a few books, and you presented the rigid knowledge in the mortal world."

Emperor Gao Wen took two steps forward, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent: "So, are you coming here again... to bring disaster upon us?!"

Qiao Shinian was frightened by the murderous intent, and her legs became weak. She raised her hand and placed it on Wen Jiu's arm to support her abnormal body.

Animals have animal instincts, and when faced with a scary predator, they will choose to flee.

Humans are actually a kind of animal, and the so-called sixth sense is nothing more than the preservation of animal instincts before evolution.

"I'm here to witness the unification of the world." Qiao Shinian raised his other hand and lifted Wen Jiu's chin, "After all, this child is my favorite.

I know the world will eventually be unified, and I want to know whether he will be the conquered or the one wielding the sword to conquer the world. He said he wanted to ensure everyone in the world had enough to eat, and I want to see how far he can go.

Emperor Gao Wen looked at Wen Jiu, then turned to look at Qiao Shinian: "Your choice is not wrong. My son is a prince who is famous throughout the world."

"Really?" Qiao Shinian sneered, "But you're not a good father. You ruined your son's life after his death. He's committed too many murders to wash away."

"This is the way we mortals survive! It was his own choice! I... I..." Emperor Gao Wen's face flushed, and he covered his chest, unable to breathe.

"Are you going to die?" Qiao Shinian let go of Wen Jiu, walked up to Emperor Gao Wen and stared at him: "Now is not the time for you to die."

Emperor Gao Wen's eyes gradually became a little frightened. He stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Shinian, but Qiao Shinian just took a light step back.

"Come, summon the imperial physician." Wen Jiu looked at Emperor Gao Wen quietly, his tone indifferent but with a hint of disdain: "Your Majesty is ill, how can you slaves serve him?"

The eunuchs and palace maids outside the room immediately knelt down and remained silent.

Wen Jiu shrugged and helped Emperor Gao Wen sit down. "Father, your health is not good, so stop worrying about state affairs. By the way, you can issue an imperial decree on the matter I discussed with you two days ago. Since the goddess has returned again to bear witness, we must prepare to clean up the Zhou Kingdom."

Father, you must take good care of yourself. Only then can you become the first emperor to unify the world.

There are still many things waiting for you to do. You must not work too hard these days. Take a good rest."

Emperor Gao Wen tightly grasped Wen Jiu's hand, breathing heavily like a wild animal. Every breath he took was exerting all his strength, and his eyes were fixed on Wen Jiu: "I am your father, you cannot hate me!"

"I don't hate you." Wen Jiu looked at his elderly father and whispered in his ear, "You are no longer worth my affection."

Emperor Gao Wen opened his eyes wide, and finally fell down.
