At the hour of Xu, the Wanshou Palace Banquet finally ended.

The moment Emperor Yong and the Queen stood up, everyone's tense nerves finally got a moment of relief.

Emperor Yong was about to leave when he suddenly said, "Second Brother, Minister Qiao and Minister Tan, please follow me."

Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly agreed, asked Qiao Tianjing to take care of the family, and left with Emperor Yong.

After the crown prince, princes, and princesses had left their seats and the envoys from both countries had also left under the arrangement of a special person, all the court officials stood up one after another.

The long table where Meng Guxue was sitting was immediately flooded with people coming to congratulate her.

At this time, a familiar bell sound was suddenly heard outside the palace. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Prince Baili who had returned.

"Miss Meng, may I have a few words with you?"

Baili Chengyou tilted his head and asked with a smile, the bells around his waist belt gleaming brightly under the light.

Upon hearing this, everyone made way for them.

"nature."

Meng Guxue nodded and walked towards Baili Chengyou under everyone's attention.

The two of them walked out of the hall side by side and stood facing each other under the colorful lanterns, at the delicate distance where everyone could see them but could not hear their voices.

Meng Guxue was in mixed emotions. Now facing Baili Chengyou, she no longer felt the joy and anticipation she had yesterday.

"Third Prince, what do you want to tell me?"

Baili Chengyou frowned slightly when he saw Meng Guxue's cold expression.

"You didn't really choose me?"

Hearing this, Meng Guxue couldn't help but look up at Baili Chengyou. At this moment, she almost wanted to blurt out: Aren't you pretending to marry me too?

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

She has really learned a lot now.

Baili Chengyou didn't know that she had also dreamed, and perhaps she thought that she was moved by his words yesterday.

Therefore, she cannot easily reveal her feelings and has to pretend to be nice and numb the other party.

In this way, if she wants to escape from Baili Chengyou in the future, she can get more opportunities for herself!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue deliberately looked around and said in a gentle voice:

"Third Prince, there are many people talking nonsense nowadays, and I have been named Princess Nanning, so I must be careful about my words and actions."

"You came back specially, what do you want to tell me?"

The third prince looked up and found that the attention of everyone in the hall was indeed on the two of them.

As he had something very important to tell Meng Guxue, he did not want to pursue the matter further.

He looked serious and said in a deep voice:

"I will return to Nanli Kingdom in about half a month. I will ask His Majesty Emperor Yong for permission to take you away directly."

"Because you haven't reached the age of marriage yet, I can hold a grand engagement ceremony with you in Nanli Country first to put your mind at ease. We can get married when you reach the age of marriage."

"During the next half month, you should say goodbye to your parents at home, prepare the necessary things, and never go out."

When Meng Guxue heard this, his expression changed slightly.

"Why? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Does Baili Chengyou also think that the Second Prince will not let her go?

Baili Chengyou had no intention of hiding it from Meng Guxue. He even revealed the dream to her. It is good for some things to be kept tacitly known by everyone.

"I have always believed that delaying marriage will lead to changes. It will take another three years for you to reach marriage age. If I wait three years to marry you, there will be too many things that may change in the meantime."

"Besides, the journey from Yong Dynasty to Nanli Kingdom is long. I may not have the time to come and welcome you in person. I am afraid that your life will be in danger on the way."

When Meng Guxue heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.

really!

Baili Chengyou also had a dream. Even he thought that the Second Prince would attack her. It was obvious that she was really blind in the dream and was completely deceived by the Second Prince!

"Who would want to kill me?" Meng Guxue asked knowingly.

Baili Chengyou curled his lips lightly, "Miss Meng, what do you think?"

"In this world, if you can't get it, then destroy it. This is the way of the strong. If you choose Shen Yuanbai in the palace today, I might... also find ways to destroy you."

Baili Chengyou tilted his head and said this, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Looking down, he saw Meng Guxue’s face turned pale with fright because of his words. Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows and the smile on the corners of his mouth widened a little.

"Are you scared already?"

Seeing Meng Guxue nod, he slightly suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, now that you have chosen me, you are mine. I will naturally do my best to protect you."

"So, just follow me back to Nanli Country in half a month."

"Don't run around during this time, be careful of Shen Yuanbai's tricks on you!"

Baili Chengyou said this in a threatening tone, and when he saw Meng Guxue nodded obediently, he turned and left.

"I need to prepare well for my return trip, so I won't visit your Meng Mansion."

Ding ding dong dong——

The ringing sound is clear and gradually fades away.

Meng Guxue looked at Baili Chengyou's back with mixed feelings.

Originally, he just wanted to use the advantage of time travel to become a superior person and fulfill his long-cherished fantasy.

Who knew he would be drawn into the vortex of power struggle, and even his life became uncertain.

After all, the second prince was the final winner in the dream, and Baili Chengyou was defeated by him.

In order to save her life, should she take the risk and find another helper?

for example......

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue turned her head and looked into the hall, just in time to see Qiao Tianjing holding Qiao Jiaojiao and walking out.

Meng Guxue squeezed her hands nervously.

She knows the future direction and some secrets about the second prince. I believe the Qiao family will be very interested.

But, wouldn't this be too abrupt? After all, it didn't happen, so why should the Qiao family believe her?

There is only half a month left, she really needs to think about it carefully...

Qiao Jiaojiao was highly focused tonight, and now that she had relaxed, she felt very tired.

Especially since her brain was too excited in the afternoon and she didn't take a nap at all, she felt weak all over now.

[Ah——it really is the body of a baby! ]

[Hey, is Meng Guxue looking at us? ]

Qiao Jiaojiao looked up inadvertently and unexpectedly met Meng Guxue's gaze.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing also looked over, but Meng Guxue immediately looked away.

Qiao Tianjing's eyes flashed when he saw this, and the next moment Qiao Jiaojiao immediately expressed his thoughts.

[Oh, Meng Guxue must have realized that her life is in danger. After all, she should know the Second Prince's methods.]

[From what she said, does she want to join forces with our Qiao family? ]

[Speaking of which, I am really curious, does Meng Guxue know some inside information that I don't know? ]

[Since Meng Guxue has never caused any harm to our Qiao family in this life, for the sake of final victory and to change our fate, it is not impossible to join forces with Meng Guxue! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up at Qiao Tianjing.

[Let's wait for Dad and Big Brother to make a decision. Big Brother is so smart, he probably sees what Meng Guxue is thinking.]

Qiao Tianjing's mind was full of thoughts, and he was indeed thinking about this matter.

Originally I just planned to sit back and watch the fight, but now it seems that there might be some unexpected gains...
