Chapter 109 Review
"I'm not sure. Wen Jiu doesn't usually suffer from insomnia." Qiao Shinian shook his head. "When I first came here, I often couldn't sleep. Wen Jiu would hold my hand and talk to me, and then I would fall asleep while he was talking."
Mu Qingchen looked at himself holding Qiao Shinian's hand and chuckled, "My original intention was to take it as a reference, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
After saying that, he let her go.
Qiao Shinian's hands were free, and she tentatively asked, "How about calling Qingyu over and letting him pull you to sleep? Or maybe the old nanny in the mansion?"
"Okay." Mu Qingchen interrupted Qiao Shinian with a smile. He turned around and sighed, "Can you sing one of your songs for me? I want to try to get you to accompany me, maybe I can fall asleep this way."
"Personally, I think that if you are sick, you should go see a doctor. I am not a doctor and cannot cure your insomnia." The corners of Qiao Shinian's mouth twitched slightly, as if she was thinking of some embarrassing plot in a novel.
"Your forehead is sweating. You must be feeling hot. Go inside. There is ice there." Mu Qingchen took a step forward without paying attention to what Qiao Shinian said.
Qiao Shinian immediately followed and responded with a smile: "Okay, okay! Since Your Majesty has invited me so warmly, I will not refuse."
Mu Qingchen raised the corners of his mouth.
In the end, Qiao Shinian found that she really needed to coax him to sleep, but not on the bed. Instead, the two of them sat comfortably on a recliner under the eaves. There was a low table between them, with a bucket of ice under the table and fruits and snacks on the table, which were obviously prepared for Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian was lying on a chair, holding a plate of food and humming a song. The two of them did not chat anymore. Mu Qingchen just lay there quietly with his eyes closed, listening to the unfamiliar tune and the cheerful sound of the person next to him eating.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, but this time there were no dark things in his dream, only bright colors and a carefree and cheerful person.
Seeing that Mu Qingchen fell asleep, Qiao Shinian leaned over and touched her full stomach, then stood up and took out a silk handkerchief to make a simple eye mask and put it on Mu Qingchen's eyes. After doing all this, she saw Qingyu squatting on the wall with a shocked look on his face. Afraid that he would disturb Mu Qingchen's sleep, she waved her hand and motioned him to go down.
Seeing Qingyu leave, Qiao Shinian yawned and carefully lay back in the chair, closing his eyes and thinking about what had just happened.
The scenery of the palace is beautiful. As a prince, Mu Qingchen is definitely not as simple as she sees on the surface.
Considering the conservative level of the ancients, Mu Qingchen's behavior just now was very presumptuous and rude, which means that he didn't seem to treat her like an ordinary person.
In this case, she has an appointment with Mu Qingchen and is not an ordinary person. So what kind of help can she ask him for in the future?
This is a newly established relationship and cannot be destroyed by her unreasonable demands, so you must be careful when asking him for help in the future.
It was so tiring. Just making ordinary friends could lead her to such pathetic calculations.
However, if Wen Jiu was just pretending to surrender to Princess Yu'an, she would still feel uneasy, because it would be as insignificant for Princess Yu'an to crush her to death as it would be to crush an ant.
Last time she was only whipped a few times, and she thought it was just Princess Yu'an testing Wen Jiu's attitude.
However, Princess Yu'an cares so much about Wen Jiu, will Wen Jiu be moved by this affection?
Qiao Shinian opened her eyes and looked at the dazzling sunlight opposite. She seemed to be very scared.
What is she afraid of?
Afraid of being abandoned!
When she first came to this world, in order not to be abandoned by Wen Jiu, she tried hard to keep up with Wen Jiu's pace and to show her own value. The only value she knew at that time was to dance for Wen Jiu and tell him that they would make money by performing on the streets after entering the city.
What now?
She was afraid that Wen Jiu would abandon her after having a capable helper like Princess Yu'an, so in order not to be abandoned, she had to do something to find a backer for herself in disguise.
No! It shouldn't be like this. She has already volunteered to come back to this world.
Qiao Shinian questioned herself, and finally she realized that the main reason for coming to this world was not entirely because she felt sorry for Wen Jiu. In the first six months after she came here, she did not believe in ghosts and gods and kept praying to be allowed to go back.
She wanted to go back, and come back to this world later, perhaps with the possibility of not being able to escape time travel hidden in her mind before coming back.
She didn't believe that things could end so easily. She just felt helpless and submissive to and accepted a mysterious force.
But if she really had to choose, she would still choose Wen Jiu. Although he sold her out, the hardships and sufferings she had experienced along the way made her realize that all this was the dark side of human nature.
She was not as pure as she thought. She just felt that her current self was so cruel compared to her past self.
Killing is not the right thing to do, but she wants to take revenge on those who hurt her by torturing them.
Qiao Shinian closed his eyes and was already thinking about what to buy when he returned home tonight and what to ask online.
The biggest threat to her survival now is Princess Yu'an, so she can't let her life be threatened. She must have the power to protect herself.
Self-protection?
and many more……
Qiao Shinian's breathing became heavier, and she thought of gunpowder.
With enough of it, it could blow up a palace.
Or should we be more direct?
Qiao Shinian immediately rejected his idea, thinking it would hurt innocent people and waste the supplies he brought with him every time he traveled through time.
Qiao Shinian felt a little depressed. He closed his eyes. It was easy to feel sleepy after eating, and he fell asleep unconsciously while thinking.
When she woke up, she saw that the person sitting next to her had woken up at some point and was leisurely flipping through a book.
Qiao Shinian took a closer look and realized that it was not a serious book but a collection of miscellaneous notes.
"woke up?"
"Yeah." Qiao Shinian yawned and sat up and asked, "When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"
"If I wake you up, you won't be able to see you smacking your lips and drooling." Mu Qingchen smiled slightly and stood up to stretch his muscles: "In fact, I didn't wake up much earlier than you."
"Oh, I don't drool when I sleep." Qiao Shinian also stood up and stretched out his arms and shook his body, "I'm hungry, let's go have lunch."
"Lunch time is over, why don't we go have some sweet snacks." Mu Qingchen turned and looked at Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian curled his lips and shook his head: "Thank you for the invitation, but no, I want to eat hot pot and spicy hot pot, not sweet food. You only have sweet and salty food here, I want spicy and sour food."
Seeing Mu Qingchen's dumbfounded look, Qiao Shinian shrugged: "Every time I go out, I can only eat sweet and salty food. I feel very bored and have no appetite. The main reason is that I ate too much cakes just now."
"You're probably the only one that has spicy food, sour... pickled vegetables? Or other sweet and sour dishes?"
"No, I suddenly want to eat tomato-flavored potato chips." Qiao Shinian said with a smile, "But you don't know what it is. Well, I have come to see you today, I should go back."
"Don't you want to play a little longer? You'll have to stay alone in the yard when you go back." Mu Qingchen chuckled and pulled Qiao Shinian: "I'll take you out for a delicious meal."
