Ye Qingwan sat alone on the steps in silence. She was feeling very sad.

She already knew what would happen tonight, but she did not stop it. It was she who caused the Ninth Prince and the Old Tutor to be injured.

I am obviously an accomplice. They should hate me, resent me and dislike me. Why should they suffer for me?

This is originally a book, a task.

Why did they change secretly behind my back? I would rather they remained the same as before, hating me and hurting me, so that I can follow the plot without any scruples.

But now they are so good to me, and I still have to follow the plot and hurt them unscrupulously. I feel like I have no heart and am a complete rotten person.

[System: I want to go home. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Please let me go home.]

The system is silent, and silence is Cambridge tonight.

It has always restrained her, preventing her from empathizing with the characters in the book, fearing that one day, once humans become emotionally involved and have feelings for them, they will not be able to hurt them.

But the more she did this, the more she couldn't go back.

Ye Qingwan suddenly burst into tears. She felt that life was so difficult.

[Why me? Of all the people, why did you choose me? ]

[I just don't want to hurt any of them, why is it so difficult? ]

[I am just an ordinary person. I just want to live an ordinary life. Why do I have to travel through time? Why do I have to hurt others? ]

[I should have been on the university campus, laughing and playing with my classmates, living a carefree life.]

[Why did you bring me here and make me do these bad things? Why do you treat me like this? ]

[I don’t want to travel through time, I don’t want a golden finger, I don’t want money, I just want to go home. ]

The system was frightened by her sudden tears, but it had no other options. This was originally a novel, with its own worldview and settings. Once it discovered that they had deviated from the plot, the worldview would self-adjust and repair itself. As a system, it had no way to stop it.

[Why do you treat me like this? I just want to go home. What have I done wrong? ]

I don't know when Hu Li appeared, and saw her breaking down and crying. Suddenly I was a little flustered. Isn't she usually cheerful and carefree? Why did she cry so suddenly?

"Don't cry, I just checked them out, and the doctor said they are all fine."

But she cried even louder: "Huli Khan, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Say it, say it, don't cry." Hu Li was a rough old man who had never seen a woman cry. You are not begging me at all, you are more powerful than thousands of troops.

"Just beat me up." Ye Qingwan cried and pulled his hand, asking him to beat her.

Beat me up and I'll feel better.

Hu Liren was stunned. This was the first time he had heard such a bizarre request in his life. Was she crying herself silly?!

"Go ahead and hit me." Ye Qingwan cried at the top of her voice.

Hu Li hesitated to speak: "This Khan does not hit women."

"Woo..." Ye Qingwan cried even louder.

Hu Li: ...

Please forgive me, I won’t tease you again, okay?

While she was crying, the eunuch came to her and said that the Ninth Prince and Tutor Liu wanted to see her.

She immediately stopped crying, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and ran inside.

The two of them were lying on the makeshift beds on both sides and were able to sit up.

The old tutor was more seriously injured and looked pale.

She sat down in the middle and held his hand silently.

Suddenly he noticed the gaze of the Ninth Prince next to him, so he silently stretched out his other hand and held the Ninth Prince.

I pulled both of them, is that ok?!

I thought they would argue, but they both laughed.

One of them reached out a hand and touched her head.

They all saw her subtitles and felt a little regretful that they shouldn't have forced her to make any choice.

She obviously has no say in these matters, so why force her?

Liu Sheng looked at her sitting in the chair, losing her former spirit, and his heart ached: "I'm sorry."

It took Ye Qingwan a long time to come back to her senses, and she looked up at him: "I am sorry for you."

I am a vicious female supporting role who only does bad things.

I have no heart and am a rotten person.

As he spoke, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

Liu Sheng gently pulled her over, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen, like a little crybaby."

Ye Qingwan hugged him, and Liu Sheng just smiled and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

After a long time, the Ninth Prince finally couldn't help it: "You only hug him, when will you hug me too? After all, you are still my concubine in name."

Ye Qingwan was amused by him and turned around to give him a big hug.

That’s enough, my nemesis, the hero.

While Ye Qingwan was out bringing them medicine, the Ninth Prince suddenly glanced at Liu Sheng and said, "Just because I don't compete with you doesn't mean I've given up. I want to compete with you fairly and win her love legitimately."

Liu Sheng smiled faintly: "It's up to you."

He didn't argue anymore, as long as she was happy.

Who she loves, who she is with, whether she decides to stay or go back, it doesn’t matter as long as she is happy.

He had spent half his life weighing the pros and cons, so he didn't want her to live the same tiring life as him.

On the way back, the Ninth Prince allowed Ye Qingwan to send Liu Sheng back home for the first time.

"Don't look at me like that. I just think he is seriously injured and I'm afraid he will die on the way." After saying that, he got into the carriage, very proud.

Liu Sheng leaned in the carriage, holding her hand, and didn't say a word all the way.

It was not until they were about to return to Liu Mansion that he suddenly spoke: "How long do you think it will take for the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne?"

Xia Xuejian is the future queen, and now she is going to marry the Ninth Prince, which means that the Ninth Prince is the future emperor.

Ye Qingwan looked at him in astonishment, not knowing why he asked that. And how did he know that the Ninth Prince would be the future emperor?

Besides, he is the prime minister of the current dynasty. Isn’t he afraid of being beheaded for discussing this?

Liu Sheng smiled and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead, tapping it from time to time: "I'm just curious."

For the Ninth Prince to become the emperor, he had to wait until Princess Shui Sheng and her men had sidelined the emperor, seized Prince Xiang's military power, and then joined forces with Xiao Ning to force the emperor to abdicate.

If the plot doesn't fall apart, it will probably take another three to five years.

"Maybe three to five years." Ye Qingwan still said.

"Three to five years? That's too short."

Ye Qingwan looked up at him, not knowing what he meant. But when she met his smiling eyes, she suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.

"When I recover from my injury, I will take you to Yuhang." Liu Sheng's eyes were full of smiles.

Since we can't keep you, let's just live these three to five years happily.

"You are the current imperial tutor, how can you go everywhere?"

"I don't want to be your tutor anymore. I want to be your brother."

Ye Qingwan was stunned. Brother?

Before she could figure it out, Liu Sheng asked her with a smile: "Do you want to touch your brother's waist to see if it looks like the scimitar of the Death-Taking Sanlang?"

Ye Qingwan shuddered, and her face instantly turned red all the way to her neck.

Oh, help me, how did he know that I coveted his beauty? !

I'm dying, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone.

"Master, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll leave first." After saying this, Ye Qingwan lifted the curtain and was about to jump out of the car.

Ah, help!

I won't live anymore.

Liu Sheng put his arms around her waist, pulled her back, let her sit on his lap, pressed his chest tightly against her back, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and his hearty laughter filled the entire carriage.
