The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

When it comes to strategy, Yun Shang could never compare to Zhao Qi Yan even if she studied for her whole life. When she heard that Zhao Qi Yan was willing to teach her, she immediately became eager to learn and wanted to take a notebook to write it down.

"Then Your Highness, what do you think I should do to better get back the dowry that belongs to me?"

Zhao Qiyan sighed. He looked deeply into Yun Shang's eyes and asked word by word, "Lin Zhiwei, who am I?"

Yun Shang was bewildered, "You are the King of Qi."

"Other than that?"

"The governor of the forbidden department?"

"anything else?"

And? Yun Shang couldn't think of anything else. Does he have any special identity?

Seeing that she looked confused, Zhao Qiyan held back his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Lin Zhiwei, I am your husband!"

"You and I are husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace. My glory will naturally be your glory as well. My identity is your greatest help."

"But you never thought of relying on me, or my status. You and Qinghuan have been busy with the dowry for several days, and you only told me today. If you didn't need my cooperation, I'm afraid you would have figured it out on your own and never told me."

"So, in your heart, you have never thought of relying on me, right?"

Yun Shang was silent for a while, lowering her head, "I am just afraid that these trivial matters will disturb the prince."

She was just used to solving problems on her own and never thought of relying on others.

Seeing her sad face, Zhao Qiyan stopped talking to her and said, "Sometimes, you don't need any schemes. It's enough for the superior to use power to suppress the inferior."

"There's no need to resort to stratagems; you'll only end up being at a disadvantage. Since you already have power, why not use it?"

"Or do you think that the time traveler's theory of equality really works?"

Now the word "traveler" has almost become Yun Shang's warning word. When she hears the word "traveler", she becomes nervous subconsciously and quickly goes into defensive mode.

She didn't know whether Zhao Qiyan asked this question as a test, but it was right to answer it vaguely.

She shook her head, looking dejected. "I've only heard of equality for all, but I haven't really studied it. How can I know if it works?"

"I was simply taught from a young age that as the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, I must be extremely careful with my words and actions and must not bring shame to the Prime Minister's family."

"As for relying on the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion to do something, I have never dared to do it."

"I have never shared prosperity with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something I can borrow. So I subconsciously feel that the power of the Prince's Mansion should not be something I can borrow."

Zhao Qiyan pulled her into his arms and patted her back with a look of heartache. "It's different now, Weiwei. You and I are husband and wife. What's mine is yours."

"As for the time travelers' talk of equality for all, they themselves can't even achieve it, let alone promote it."

"If they truly believed in equality, they wouldn't have killed so many jailers today just to save people."

"They only sacrificed their lives, but treated the lives of the people of Yu Country as worthless. How can this king tolerate this?"

Yun Shang nodded, burying her head in the man's chest, and her voice came out muffled, "Well, I really can't stand it."

The survival of time travelers is so difficult, and now it seems that it is entirely their own fault.

Even Yun Shang, a time traveler, felt that such behavior was a bit excessive, let alone the King of Qi who was a native.

As they chatted, Zhao Qiyan suddenly touched her ankle and asked, "Does your foot still hurt?"

"Much better. It's just a superficial wound. It doesn't hurt much anymore."

The man's voice was low and hoarse. "Well, it doesn't hurt."

Immediately afterwards, Yun Shang was picked up and placed on the bed.

In order to prevent her feet from being touched, Yun Shang was forced to raise her legs high to endure it. After making love, the two lay side by side.

Yun Shang was extremely tired and was about to fall asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, Zhao Qiyan's voice was heard in the darkness. "Lin Zhiwei, this is my first time being a husband, and I don't know if I'm doing well. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me."

"Of course, you can also tell me and I will change it."

"Although we had never met before our engagement, I still had expectations for my new wife, who would be my lifelong companion, even before we got married."

"In fact, I went to see Lin Zhiyi on the day she came to recognize her relatives. I knew that the one the Xiangfu wanted to marry was the legitimate daughter. Lin Zhiyi chose to recognize her relatives before the wedding, which meant that my wife would definitely be Lin Zhiyi."

"Before that, I had never met you. Actually, anyone could have been there. But that day, I suddenly wanted to go and see you."

Yun Shang didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

Zhao Qiyan seemed to know she was listening, so he pulled her hand in the nest and continued, "Love at first sight, that's probably what it feels like."

"Lin Zhiyi was so dazzling standing in the crowd, but I immediately noticed you sitting quietly beside me. You were like a little white rabbit, well-behaved and docile, with a strange aura of being half-dead. It was quite interesting."

"It was because I went to see you that I rejected the Xiangfu's request to change people. I only want you."

"Before, I thought you were a time traveler, so I tried to test you. I was wrong."

Zhao Qiyan paused as he spoke, his tone growing deeper. "I'm telling you this today because you're my wife, and husband and wife should be of one mind and honest with each other."

"I have a question. This is the first time I ask you today, and it will also be the last time."

"Lin Zhiwei, I'm only asking you this once. I hope you can tell the truth."

Yun Shang said calmly, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"What happened today, and what happened before, these things related to the rebellion of the time travelers, do you have anything to do with it?"

Yun Shang's voice was firm and serious, "No."

"Zhao Qiyan, I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will never do anything to harm you or the people of Yu Country."

Yun Shang cannot change the thoughts of other time travelers, but at least she can stick to her original intention and not let her hands be stained with the blood of the people of Yu Country.

After all, for her, who lived two thousand years later in China, the people of Yu Country were more or less related to her by blood, as they were all ancestors.

Yun Shang also couldn't understand why those time travelers wanted to go against their ancestors for eighteen generations. If Yu Country was gone, didn't they worry about what would happen to future generations?

She began to think about the time traveler, but after a long silence, Zhao Qiyan turned around, hugged her, and slowly closed his eyes, "Lin Zhiwei, don't lie to me."

"Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Yun Shang was brought back to her senses by these words. She let out a long sigh, "Well, husband and wife are of one mind."
