I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"Ah Zheng, can you stop staring at me like that? I've already told you I won't use it on you. If you're so afraid, then we might as well go our separate ways." This kid has been staring at her ever since the Forgetfulness Curse appeared. Doesn't it hurt his eyes to see him like that? Lin Chaoyan thought that since he didn't trust her that much, they should just part ways.

"Ayan, you're going to break up with me over this?" You actually want me to go my separate ways? Ying Zheng looked at Lin Chaoyan with a look that said, "You're a heartless person."

"...Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel like I'm a heartless man who plays with other people's feelings."

"I already told you I wouldn't use it on you, but you don't believe me, what am I supposed to do?" Through their time together, Lin Chaoyan found this kid very strange, and she always felt that he had some kind of unspeakable secret.

"Are you hiding something from me, kid? Are you afraid I'll use the Dream Butterfly to get revenge on you?" The conversation shifted successfully, and Ying Zheng was immediately flustered, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Oh no, I forgot about that! We're almost at Xianyang, Ying Zheng is forcing himself to remain calm. "No!" The Zhao family member surnamed Ying wasn't exactly lying, right! I didn't deceive her.

"Ayan, what identity do you plan to use to enter the Qin King's palace?" Zhao Ji asked tentatively.

"I never said I wanted to go to the palace!" What's so fun about the palace? How would you farm there? Lin Chaoyan didn't understand why Xia Lian thought she would go to the palace.

"Aren't you going to the palace?" At this point, Ying Zheng could no longer hold back and wanted to grab her and ask her the truth.

"Don't get excited, take a deep breath and calm down! Why are you in such a hurry if I don't go to the palace?" Do you think you'll get paid if I go to the palace? Lin Chaoyan looked at the mother and son suspiciously.

How could Ying Zheng possibly let her drift away from him? Her pure heart meant she was most vulnerable to being exploited by those with ulterior motives; keeping her by his side was the safest option!

He smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Ayan going to see Ying Zheng? How can she see him if she doesn't go to the palace?" After saying that, he looked at Zhao Ji beside him and continued, "Then Ayan will come to the palace with me as my mother's adopted daughter. What do you think?"

"...Are you hiding something from me? Are you planning to sell me into the palace? I said I'm not going, and I mean it." We parted ways once we reached Xianyang. When you're powerless, you have to bow your head under someone's roof; there's no other way.

Now, it's impossible for me to kneel before them, to be subservient. Lin Chaoyan looked at her hands, avoiding Ying Zheng's gaze.

"Yan Yan, we're almost at Xianyang City!" Wen Ci said to Lin Chaoyan as he lifted the curtain.

Seeing the city walls faintly visible in the distance, after a long journey, we finally arrived in Xianyang.

I almost forgot, Ah Yan has an unconventional personality; she does whatever she thinks and doesn't care at all about other people's opinions or views.

Ying Zheng began to feel troubled, especially upon hearing that they were about to reach Xianyang. "Ayan, shall we have a proper talk after we arrive in Xianyang?"

"What a hassle! I think we should part ways when we get there!" What if knowing too much leads to someone chasing me down? Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji interrupted Lin Chaoyan at the same time.

"No!" The mother and son said in unison, exchanged a glance, and then turned away.

Lin Chaoyan glanced at the unusually harmonious mother and son and pursed her lips. "Mother and son are of one mind! So in sync!" Should I give you two an award?

Ying Zheng once again experienced how difficult Gu Chaoyan was to deal with. "Ayan, let's each take a step back. I swear I won't cause any harm. I'll tell you everything when we get to Xianyang. Wen Ci will enter the palace in my master's name, and you will enter as his sister. How about that?" At this point, Wen Ci outside the carriage was unhappy.

He shouted outside, "No way! I'm not going to be your master. Yan Yan is my wife, not my sister!" Creating a rival for my affections? I must be out of my mind.

Lin Chaoyan looked at the mother and son and shrugged, "Aci doesn't want to~" There's nothing I can do!

"Ayan~ Let's not talk about whether or not we go to the palace. Let's have a good talk when we get to Xianyang, okay?" Hearing her say that we should part ways made me feel sad. Was I really that dispensable to her?

"Ugh!! Okay, okay! My ears are about to fall off. Why are you acting like a little old man at such a young age? You're clearly afraid of me, yet you're making me act unreasonable." I really don't understand. If you're afraid, why are you clinging to me? Shouldn't you stay away?

As they talked, the sky gradually darkened, and they had arrived at the city gate. Lin Chaoyan looked at the towering city wall in front of her, which stretched as far as the eye could see, like a giant dragon lying on the ground. It was even more majestic and magnificent than the city of Handan in the Zhao Kingdom. Tall and mighty soldiers stood on the city wall, and there were also squads of troops patrolling back and forth. It was hard to imagine who could conquer this place.

"We're back!" Ying Zheng was extremely excited as he looked at the giant dragon before him, his emotions overflowing in his eyes.

Upon entering Xianyang, the streets were not crowded with people. Instead, stalls of all sizes were packing up. Shops with various businesses were open on both sides of the wide road, and vendors who had set up their stalls directly on the side of the street were slowly packing up.

(In ancient times, there was a curfew to maintain order at night, from 7 pm to 7 am the next morning. After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, it became even stricter, and even the prosperous and free Tang Dynasty had a very strict curfew. Only the Song Dynasty was more lenient, setting the curfew at midnight.)

"Where do you plan to settle down? Where is your home?" Next, Lin Chaoyan planned to ignore everything else, take the people there, ask for a small fee to buy a piece of land, and then visit Zheng Ge when he grew up.

"Hehe! Those people seem to be looking for you! It's good that you have money." Lin Chaoyan said calmly, looking at the deserted street in the distance.

"Ayan, who's here?" Ying Zheng was already used to Gu Chaoyan's cryptic way of speaking. She seemed like a prophet, possessing wisdom that ordinary people couldn't imagine, but without any guile.

"The person who was supposed to pick you up! Don't you know?" What's going on? Don't your own people recognize each other? Lin Chaoyan was even less inclined to stay with this mother and son any longer.

"It must be one of the Prime Minister's men!" Zhao Ji thought that no one but Lü Buwei could have gotten the information so quickly.

"Prime Minister? Your husband is the Prime Minister? Let me tell you! Never rely too much on men, men are unreliable. Look at him! A dignified Prime Minister can't even protect his own wife and children. He's been well-informed for a year and hasn't sent anyone to pick you up. Bah! What a useless man!" Losing his wife and children, almost dying on the battlefield, what kind of dog of a man is he? Lin Chaoyan's face showed undisguised disgust.

Ying Zheng hesitated to speak about Lin Chaoyan's misunderstanding, but at the same time, he was also very unhappy because of the statement that men are unreliable. "Ayan, I can be relied on!"

Lin Chaoyan ignored him, thinking to herself, "Heh! Even Emperor Zheng isn't necessarily reliable. Twenty-three sons and ten daughters! Who the hell can be trusted? Although there's no queen, the harem is quite large. Let alone you!"

Soon a group of people slowly emerged from the darkness, led by an old acquaintance. Ying Zheng looked at that person and immediately understood everything.

"Madam, young master! I have been sent by the Prime Minister to receive you both."

"Let's go!" Zhao Ji said calmly.

Wow, she really is the Prime Minister's wife; her aura changed instantly. Lin Chaoyan's imagined scenario made Zhao Ji sweat for her son. "Zheng'er! Mother will comfort you with her later."
