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

"Pear blossoms?... "

Inside the carriage with its soft pillows and luxurious walls, Lin Chaoyan, feeling depressed and bored, was completely captivated by a glimpse of spring in the distant mountains.

In the past, he would present anything she liked to her, but this time Ying Zheng particularly disliked anything related to divorce.

"If Ayan likes it, I will plant it all over the palace for you after we return." As long as she doesn't leave, I will even pluck the moon from the sky for her.

"Are you crazy, or am I?" Lin Chaoyan quickly refused. "No need for that. I suddenly realized I don't like it anymore!"

I'd be cursed to death, no wonder! I can't take it! I really can't take it.

The man, his heart filled with mixed emotions after his feelings were rejected, looked at Lin Chaoyan, who was resting her chin on her hand in a daze, with a complex gaze. Ying Zheng hated this sense of distance; even though she was so close, he felt as if she could be swept away by the wind at any moment. Only when their bodies were joined and collided did he truly feel like he possessed her.

"Ayan, if you're bored, how about I teach you to ride a horse?" He extended an olive branch again.

Lin Chaoyan still wanted to refuse, but she could clearly feel the pressure from the man beside her. If she refused again, he would definitely start overthinking and imagining all sorts of things. So she decided to open her mouth and explain, and let all the misunderstandings go to hell!

"You're about to go to war again, and this war won't end for at least ten or eight years. Instead of wasting manpower, resources, and money on this, we should let the soldiers eat better and use better weapons and armor. Besides, I'll definitely get scolded to death."

What if someone raises an army to "purge the court of corrupt officials" and kills me for it? Emperor Xuanzong of Tang loved Consort Mei, so he planted plum blossoms all over the palace for her. Later, he forcibly took his own daughter-in-law to please her, dug up the plum blossoms, and planted peonies all over the palace. In the end, wasn't she still sentenced to death by him...? Her initial cautiousness was enough to make Ying Zheng feel heartache and remorse. Let's not say anything more!

"It was my oversight; I've caused my daughter, Ayan, so much suffering..."

At the same time, he also understood that Lin Chaoyan was very sensitive to emotions, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would never lose his temper in front of her in the future, so as not to scare her away.

"Ayan, is this going to be my virtuous empress? Then let's get married when we go back to the palace, okay..." The two had already consummated their marriage, and he didn't understand why this little fool in his arms was accepting the title.

…Holy crap…a marriage proposal? How could I possibly bear such responsibility and burden? Lin Chaoyan quickly changed the subject, “Oh, well…Ah Zheng, didn’t you say you’d take me horseback riding? Let’s go now!”

"Why? It's something everyone spends their whole life trying to obtain, why don't you even glance at it?" That's the position of Queen! My wife! Ying Zheng then asked the question that drove Lin Chaoyan crazy.

"Or is it that you just don't like me, so you don't want to be my wife?"

Seriously?! I just calmed her down and she's about to explode again? "No, it's not what you think. With great power comes great responsibility. I'm just too lazy to carry so many burdens."

My biggest wish is to lie down, raise a cat, play games, and have my sister take care of earning money to support the family while I take care of being beautiful and just lazing around... If you want me to take on the responsibilities of a queen, I might as well just start a new account.

Seeing that the person holding her remained silent for a long time, Lin Chaoyan got angry, forcefully broke free, turned around, and faced him with her backside, then began to grumble in a pitiful voice. "What's with the fierceness? So what if you're fierce? I'm fiercer than you when I'm killing people. Everyone's lifelong pursuit? They beg me, so I beg them? I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to come from a peaceful and beautiful world to this chaotic and hateful one..."

So what if he's the future Qin Shi Huang? Do you believe I can steal Miss Qiu and send her to you for a political marriage? You think you're so great at making trouble? I'm much better at it than you.

"Ayan?... " She's crying? Did I actually make her cry? Ying Zheng panicked and went to comfort her.

"Don't touch me, I'm breaking up with you..." When faced with unreasonable demands, poison is the best weapon! You've already explained the reason, yet you still keep overthinking.

Break up? She really can say anything in anger! "Ayan, don't cry, okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. We won't break up. Come on, I'll take you horseback riding..." Without waiting for Lin Chaoyan's reaction, he picked her up and walked out.

The driver outside also cooperated by stopping the carriage.

Damn it... Can't you see I'm being unreasonable? You're just trying to forcefully appease me! So many people are watching Lin Chaoyan choose to play dead immediately.

"shelf…"

The two rode off together on a horse, with the hidden guards in the darkness quickly following.

An hour later, the horses stopped and began to stroll.

A gentle spring breeze caressed her face, the sun shone warmly, and wildflowers bloomed on both sides of the road. Lin Chaoyan wanted to find a beautiful place to lie down and die…

"If I really die that day, I'll be burned to ashes and find a windy, sunny day to float away! From then on, I'll truly be free to follow the wind to every corner of the world..." Even if there's no wind, I'll be thrown into the sea.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you know what it means to be reduced to ashes? What kind of person would be reduced to ashes?"... Reduced to ashes? The cruelest punishment of the past was actually her pursuit? Did I drive her crazy?

Test me? Everyone knows that! "No grave mound? You're dead, why bother with all that? You all believe in burial for peace, I respect that, and you respect mine. We won't interfere with each other's thoughts. Let others talk and do their own thing! I don't care what they say or what they like. I'll scatter my ashes, and you can lie in your luxurious underground palace, perfect..." It's only because your grave hasn't been raided by grave robbers; everyone else is doomed!

With such a broad mind, why won't you marry me? What's wrong with the people in that world? "Since Ayan is so open-minded, let's get married!"

"Why are we back to this topic again?" Lin Chaoyan lied to herself, knowing that as a wife, she couldn't tolerate the existence of those other women. "Marrying you would mean I'd be compromising myself... I'm petty and don't want to be wronged..."

How could I bear to see you suffer? "No, after the last child is born, I will never touch them again." History books? I'll make him write whatever I want.

"I'll help you with your plan to establish a sect. We'll discuss the details when we get back. Qiu Shenji will be the Imperial Advisor, and you can marry me as his daughter. My sister is also acceptable..." Because the masked man had said she would die before he disappeared, Ying Zheng rushed over immediately, sparing no effort to keep her by his side and protect her.

Huh? ...How did he know? "So from the beginning you planned to trick me into going back. Do you think Lao Qiu would take the risk for you?" Getting him involved is just making his power work for him!

"He'll agree!" He'll do it for you! You are their hope for survival.

How could you die! This tiny little person, struggling all by herself until now, I won't let you die! And what role does He play?

"Alright! Don't be angry! Every time you frown, my heart aches. You want to know who that mysterious man is, right? I'll tell you once I find him and find out everything. Okay? Ah Yan~" Only a fool like you would fall for this little trick, and it's the same one! They say you learn from your mistakes. What if you get sold out...?

"Alright, alright~ You're in charge, go ahead!"

The sky is so blue! Men are so cunning! Lin Chaoyan pouted helplessly.

Seeing that Lin Chaoyan, though somewhat reluctant, had agreed to his suggestion, Ying Zheng happily gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hehe!! Then it's a deal, we'll get married when we get back..."

What? Am I hallucinating? "What did you say? When did I agree to marry you?" This guy is setting traps everywhere.

"Just now! You said 'okay' three times! Did you mean, Ah Yan, that I'm not good enough for you? So you're breaking off the engagement?" His sudden pitiful and misplaced affection made Lin Chaoyan unable to utter a few words of rebuttal.

After stammering for a while, she finally managed to utter a sentence that made her want to slap herself. "No, um, it was a bit too rushed, I didn't know what to do for a moment, how about we wait until you're done fighting and come back?" Ah... what are you saying! What if you really can't resist killing his concubines after entering the palace? Refuse? Refuse quickly... Lin Chao silently shouted in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had been the one playing tricks, but now she had personally agreed. How could he not be happy? "Hahaha... Good! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I will marry you when I return in triumph." After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and then whispered something in Lin Chaoyan's ear, making her shudder.

"I can't take it anymore!..."

The couple's public display of affection made the robbers lying in ambush unbearably jealous. Halfway there, a group of people suddenly appeared, varying in height and build, dressed in coarse linen clothing, and carrying few decent weapons.

What storms hadn't a mighty King of Qin weathered? Knowing their true nature all along, killing them was as easy as crushing an ant. Ying Zheng's face darkened at the person who had suddenly interrupted his plans.

Lin Chaoyan pressed down on his hand as he tried to draw his sword, and Ying Zheng, seeing this, gave in to her.

Lin Chaoyan calmly looked at the dozen or so people in front of her and said, "I wonder what brings you gentlemen to block our path?"
