No, he just said that the ring has no idea what the true meaning of its existence is.

So, in that case, the ring was still deceiving her.

"This secret is known only to me and the Heavenly Dao." Yu Honghua felt that she had already made it quite obvious by reminding him to this extent.

It was obvious enough, and Qiao Qiu understood it perfectly well.

If the ring is really deceiving her, what will it do to her after she helps it polish all the diamonds?

Several thoughts raced through Qiao Qiu's mind, from good to bad, she considered them all.

Then Qiao Qiu didn't want to think about it anymore.

Aside from deceiving herself, she really didn't think the ring was bad for her in any way; in fact, the ring was completely agreeable to her.

Yu Honghua didn't say anything more about the ring. The ring had accompanied Qiao Qiu through countless lifetimes, and even the most heartless person would be moved by it.

Although they weren't in love like he and Qiao Qiu were, he at least became an indispensable companion to her.

He knew that Qiao Qiu never regarded the ring as an object, but rather as a person.

That evening, Qiao Qiu and Yu Honghua chatted for a long time.

This was the first time Yu Honghua had remembered everything about them and talked with her all night. Qiao Qiu had a feeling she had never had before, a true spiritual support. It was as if she had truly found a husband, rather than just a simple liking like before.

As dawn approached, Yu Honghua hugged her and kissed her. "Qiu'er, I love you. When I sink into darkness, my only thought is of you. I won't be by your side during the day, so you must take good care of yourself and never suffer any harm."

Qiao Qiu nodded, "I know, I love you too, I love you so much, Ru Feng."

Upon hearing the last name, Yu Honghua fainted with a smile, collapsing onto Qiao Qiu's shoulder.

Qiao Qiu touched her face, closed her eyes, and fell asleep while holding her.

In her dream, she saw Ji Rufeng as he was before: a crisp white shirt, soft hair clinging to his forehead, and below it, a pair of eyes that shone like diamonds. He had brown hair and brown pupils, as if he had stepped out of a two-dimensional world, but with a more real feel to him.

Her temperament is pure and exudes vitality.

Ru Feng reached out her hand and gently called to her: Qiu'er, come here.

Qiao Qiu went over happily, only to find that she was looking up at Ji Rufeng.

She looked down and saw her own hand in front of her.

Ru Feng held her hand, his brown eyes filled with affection and a touch of heartache. "I've finally seen you again, Qiu'er. I just couldn't hold back anymore. But seeing you is so difficult, I'm afraid I won't remember you in my next life."

"Did you break through space to find me?" Qiao Qiu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that things didn't seem so simple.

"Qiu'er, wait for me. In the next life, although I won't remember you, I will appear in my original form. I will wait for you, wait for the day you appear in front of me." Ji Rufeng did not answer her directly, but just hugged her. This day had come too hard, and every minute and every second felt too fast to him.

Qiao Qiu saw that he didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask anymore. He would talk about it when he wanted to.

"Qiu'er, I love you."

Just as Qiao Qiu was about to say "I love you too," her body was suddenly pulled backward, completely out of her control.

She looked up in alarm and saw Ji Rufeng smiling gently and waving at her. She vaguely remembered hearing him say, "Don't be afraid."

When Qiao Qiu woke up, she didn't know what time it was. It was already bright outside, and the sunlight streaming into the room was already setting in the west.

She turned her head and saw that Yu Honghua was still asleep.

Qiao Qiu quietly got up, casually tied her hair into a half-updo with a hair ribbon, inserted a silver hairpin, and went out.

She thought that changing her own fate would be enough, but it turns out that Ru Feng also needs to change her fate.

Their fates seem quite similar; they've never had a good time.

However, it seems that everything changed in the end because of her appearance.

Ru Feng said that if his fate were as smooth as the protagonist's, the battle would end in a draw. At that point, Heaven wouldn't be able to take away his power, but he also wouldn't be able to recover further.

Qiao Qiu hesitated. She couldn't forget what Ru Feng had said last night, but she also couldn't break her promise to herself. It was a basic principle of being a person, and it was against her conscience.

Qiao Qiu stood in the center of the courtyard with a frown. "Someone come here."

A black-clad guard jumped out and landed in front of her, his expression respectful. "Your subordinate is here."

"Send a message to Ji Xian and ask him to send over the scores of Dongfang Wuye and Dongfang Wusheng," Qiao Qiu said calmly. Thinking too much was pointless; they would deal with it after passing the assessment.

"yes."

"Go down."

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

Qiao Qiu looked at her shadow and saw that it was indeed setting in the west; it must be around two or three in the afternoon.

Based on the time I woke up, Honghua should be awake by now. She hasn't eaten for two meals, so she must be hungry.

Qiao Qiu asked someone to guard Yu Honghua, and then went to the kitchen herself. Although the manor was on holiday, the kitchen was still fully stocked.

...

Two days later, Qiao Qiu set off back to Jin, this time bringing the jade safflower with her.

It's time to tell her first, to prepare her mentally, who her husband really is.

Actually, Qiao Qiu mainly wanted to tell Yu Honghua during the day, and even if Yu Honghua knew this secret at night, she wouldn't be very surprised.

Sure enough, when she told Yu Honghua, Yu Honghua was stunned.

I always thought Qiao Qiu was just Meng Yuanqing's concubine, but I never expected that she had another identity that I respected even more.

Your Highness!

What kind of legendary figure was he?

It can be said that throughout the nation today, people may not know the Emperor's deeds, but they will certainly know the deeds of His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's life is legendary, and every single thing he has done serves as a positive example for parents across the country to teach their children.

It can be said that he set a very good example for the younger generation of Jinxi Kingdom.

His Highness the Crown Prince's virtues are so numerous that they could be described in three days and three nights.

If, before meeting Meng Yuanqing, Yu Honghua saw him as a fat sheep that could hardly move, then His Highness the Crown Prince was a god in her eyes.

In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince devoted himself wholeheartedly to Fei Hong Mountain and fought against the court and the public for his friends. In her eyes, he was simply a perfect person.

Such a perfect person is actually her husband?!

Yu Honghua felt as if she were dreaming; she simply couldn't believe that her husband was none other than the current Crown Prince.

Isn't it true that the Crown Prince needs the Emperor's decree to get married?

Yu Honghua voiced her question.

Qiao Qiu affectionately pinched her nose, "Do you dare say that our marriage wasn't bestowed by Father Emperor?"

Yu Honghua then remembered the imperial decree bestowing the marriage upon her, and her eyes widened. "Husband, you!"

“Our marriage is in accordance with the laws of the court. Even if Father doesn’t know the truth, he can’t deny that it was his decree.”
