Chapter 288 Daughter of Destiny, Where Did My Child Come From?

If you refuse, the system will assign the task to another woman of destiny.

Ji Qingwu thought of the dangers Yuan Heng had experienced in the Hall of Diligent Governance, how Yuwen Tianqing of Xijin had first bribed him to poison him, and then sent people to assassinate him.

Just because the little guy is the only prince of the Northern Li Emperor.

This was something she witnessed firsthand. Before she could see, Yuan Heng must have experienced countless similar things from childhood to adulthood.

In addition, Emperor Wusu almost risked his life to fight against the Xijin spy and the big fish in the court.

If the system were to actually assign such a task to the people of Xijin, thus enhancing the fortune of other countries, wouldn't Beili be placed in a perilous situation?

Having figured out Ji Qingwu's temperament, the system waited quietly and stopped trying to provoke her.

Not long after.

Ji Qingwu let out a long breath and asked, "Who is the target of this maneuver?"

[My dear host, this is the one waiting for you on the dragon bed.]

As expected.

Ji Qingwu knew that something was definitely wrong with the system popping up at this time.

It seems they are trying their best to bring them together, and something is bound to happen today.

She suddenly felt a sense of destiny; she came into this world to bear his children, and now she was to increase his fortune in ruling the country by being intimate with him.

Despite sensing something was wrong, Ji Qingwu felt somewhat at ease.

It's good that it's him.

She was afraid of repeating the mistakes she had made before, so she spoke in one breath.

"The target of the new mission's national fortune bonus is Zhao Mingyan, the former General of Dingbei and now the Emperor of Beili, who was my target in the previous mission to have a child, right?"

The system confirmed each word in the AI.

[Confirmed, this is indeed Zhao Mingyan. There are no issues. If you confirm accepting the new task, the system will update you with the latest agreement.]

While awaiting an agreement update.

Ji Qingwu gently lifted the water from the surface of the soup and said, "Peanut, there's something I want to ask you."

[Host, please speak]

"Did I come here because of him?"

From a strategy guide perspective, it's because of the current Emperor of Beili.

The system's response was very official. Ji Qingwu watched the water flow from his fingertips.

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

The system went into a dead state and stopped responding.

Ji Qingwu continued, "Compared to me, the host, you seem more concerned about his safety. When he was in danger, you even gave me a second task. I suddenly really want to know—"

Before she could finish speaking, the system began to emit a sharp, popping sound.

[Dear host, the system's AI is running low on battery and the signal is fluctuating.]

Ji Qingwu snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I won't ask that anymore. I won't get any answers anyway."

"I have other things to do. I want to... exchange..."

She spoke shyly in a low voice.

The North.

Wei Ting traveled for a day and a night, killing five fast horses in the process, and finally arrived at the camp at noon.

He was even still wearing his wedding red dress underneath, only changing into an outer robe.

"General Wei!"

The soldiers guarding the camp gate lit up instantly when they saw him.

Wei Ting released the panting horse and strode towards the military camp, asking the approaching deputy general Feng Xiang for directions.

Is General Yuchi in his tent?

Feng Xiang said, "The Xijin army launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night and just withdrew at dawn, but an hour later they came back to the front lines to rant. General Yuchi is here, is here..."

Wei Ting lifted the curtain of the tent and said, "They are currently exchanging insults with Xi Jin."

Feng Xiang scratched the back of his head. That's about right.

When Yuchi Lianping learned that the emperor had been assassinated by Xijin assassins, he was filled with resentment and cursed every Xijin person he saw.

“He hasn’t lost his composure yet; he knows he can’t act rashly now,” Wei Ting said. “When your general returns, have him come over.”

Wei Ting changed into a clean robe, and Yuchi Lianping had already returned to camp.

The northern winds were howling, and he spat out the sand from his mouth as he walked toward the main tent.

"Those bastards from Xijin are a bunch of insidious scoundrels who love to resort to sneak attacks."

Whenever Yuchi Lianping thought of Emperor Wusu remaining unconscious, his anger would surge up.

He roared angrily, "Don't let me catch anyone from the Yuwen family! Even tearing them to pieces won't appease my hatred!"

Feng Xiang said, "General Wei Ting, he..."

Yuchi Lianping said, "Don't mention that bastard Wei Ting! He got married when the emperor was seriously injured, and he even married the fifth young lady of the Ji family."

Even a rough man like him could see that the Emperor had a delicate and gentle girl in his heart, and he was not sure that the meticulous Wei Ting would not be able to see it.

Wei Ting heard Yuchi Lianping's loud voice from inside the tent.

He lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "General Yuchi, please come into my tent for a chat."

Yu Chi Lianping glared at Feng Xiang, his voice lowering considerably: "When did he arrive? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Whether he said it sooner or later, it was all the same; the entire army camp had heard him cursing Wei Ting for his wolfish ambitions.

Yuchi Lianping has been in a bad temper lately, and his loud voice has been frequently heard by Wei Ting's subordinates.

Wei Ting sat in the main seat in the tent, with Yuchi Lianping sitting opposite him.

"How is the Emperor?"

Wei Ting said, "Not good."

Yu Chi Lianping glared at him and said, "The Emperor's condition is not good, yet you still have the mind to get married?"

"I also wanted to bring good luck to the Emperor."

"If you really want to bring good luck, you should find a wife for the Emperor. What kind of 'bringing good luck' is it if you marry someone yourself? I think you just want to anger the Emperor to death."

Yu Chi Lianping's tone was both urgent and angry.

Wei Ting, however, reacted calmly and was not angered by the other party's words.

Once he marries Ji Qingwu, he will finally be free from one of his obsessions. If he is late in marrying her, he will be late in marrying her.

If Emperor Wusu hadn't met with this misfortune, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would never have appeared before him; he couldn't let it slip by.

Yuchi Lianping admired his audacity; he dared to snatch even the emperor's woman.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you when he wakes up?"

Wei Ting stared at the caged eaglet at the entrance of the camp.

Even if he wasn't a good match, Emperor Wusu wouldn't be that person.

Ji Qingwu should not be confined to the palace; she should be able to soar freely in her own sky.

Wei Ting raised his eyes and said, "General Yuchi, it's easy for you to talk when you're not in my shoes. You have a family, you married a noble princess, and now you have a child. Isn't it normal for me to get married at my age?"

Yu Chi Lianping's angry expression instantly turned into confusion.

"What child? Where would I get a child?"

Wei Ting remained silent for a moment, surprised that Yu Chi Lianping was unaware of Princess Huachang's pregnancy.

Based on the months of pregnancy he knew, that period should have been around the time Yuchi Lianping went on his expedition.

Wei Ting said, "It was a slip of the tongue."

Yuchi Lianping was in a daze for a long time, his mind spinning.

Seeing his expression, Wei Ting wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but he grabbed his hand.

Yu Chi Lianping's hands were wide and large, making Wei Ting's hands, a big man, appear delicate. Yu Chi Lianping, in his excitement, used considerable force.

Even Wei Ting's expression changed.

Yuchi Lianping released his grip, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you!"

As he left, the fledgling eagle in the cage cried out twice.

Yuchi Lianping stopped and teased it a few times with his finger: "So you know I'm going to be a father? You little thing, you're quite intelligent."

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the little eagle.

Thank you!
