The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Otherwise, with Pei Qingning's temperament, if she lived in a normal place without anyone watching and protecting her, something might happen.

Qingshu and Qingye were not familiar with Pei Qingning, so they would definitely not look at Pei Qingning all the time.

As everyone knows, Pei Qingning fell in love with Qingshu, so she wanted to go back to the inn and spend a lot of time with Qingshu.

However, Pei Qingning was a little embarrassed to say it.

Now faced with Jiujiu's question, she pinched the corner of her clothes, coyly, and blushed, "I, I..."

"If you don't say it, I won't agree." Jiujiu knew what was going on when she saw Pei Qingning like this, but she wanted Pei Qingning to say it himself.

"Princess, you are evil." Pei Qingning pouted.

"Hahaha." Jiujiu smiled mischievously.

Pei Qingning's face dropped, and she was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, I'll do what you want." Jiujiu said hurriedly: "Don't cry!"

"I'm not crying!" Pei Qingning denied.

Jiujiu added: "But, Qing Ning, I will arrange for someone to protect you, and you can't refuse this."

"Yes." Pei Qingning nodded.

After several people arrived at the imperial study, Pei Qingning truthfully told Emperor Qing'an what he had overheard.

After Emperor Qing'an heard this, he had a secret talk with Emperor Jiang and Jiujiu and others.

It is unknown what the secret conversation was about. All we know is that Jiujiu and Di Jiang are about to go to Zhongzhou in person to check the specific situation in Zhongzhou and see if there is really any trouble or rebellion.

Jiujiu still travels according to the order.

As for Di Jiang, accompany him.

Before leaving the palace, Jiujiu went to see the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

The two of them happened to be looking forward to Jiujiu. When they heard that Jiujiu was coming, they prepared a large table of dishes for the whole family to have a good meal.

When the Queen Mother saw Jiujiu, she held Jiujiu's hand and said, "Jiujiu, mother misses you so much."

"Father, too." The Supreme Emperor said hurriedly.

Jiujiu has grown up gradually. The two of them have aged a lot these days. They both have gray hair and there are more and more wrinkles on their faces.

Jiujiu couldn't help feeling sad when looking at her parents.

[The father, the queen, and the queen look much older. 】

The Supreme Emperor: Is this because he doesn’t take good care of himself? Will definitely take good care of it later.

Queen Mother: From now on, I must go to bed earlier and stop staying up late reading story books. This way I should be younger.

"Okay, Jiujiu, stop looking at the father, the emperor and the queen, sit down and eat."

"Di Jiang, please sit down quickly."

"Here is this girl."

The Queen Mother took the initiative to invite a few people to sit down.

The dishes were all served, including ten dishes, two soups, a combination of meat and vegetables, all of which Jiujiu liked to eat.

"Dijiang, it's all Jiujiu's favorite food. I wonder if you like it?" the Supreme Emperor asked with concern.

"Di Jiang also likes whatever Jiujiu likes." Di Jiang's eyebrows were filled with smiles.

"You kid." The Supreme Emperor smiled and warned seriously, "Tell us what you like to eat later, and we will prepare it next time you come."

"it is good."

Several people sat down to eat. After eating, Fu'an brought a brocade box and handed it to the Supreme Emperor.

After the Supreme Emperor opened the brocade box, Jiujiu saw a pill inside the brocade box. Just as the Supreme Emperor was about to take it, Jiujiu hurriedly asked: "Father, what pill did you take?"

The Supreme Emperor said: "Elixir of Agelessness, it is said that eating it can lead to immortality."

"Elixir of Agelessness?"

"Immortal?"

"Yes." The Supreme Emperor nodded, "My father, the emperor, and the emperor all ate it before. It is passed down exclusively to the royal family."

"When you are ninety-nine years old, you can still eat it, and you will never get old."

"..."

Not old?

is it possible?

[It is said in the book that when emperors get old, they will take a lot of health-care medicines, especially elixir. Many emperors in the royal family take it, and it can indeed delay aging, but...]

[However, there is a lot of cinnabar in it. If you eat too much cinnabar, you will be poisoned and die if things go on like this. 】

[Several emperors of Western Chu could have lived longer, but their life spans were shortened because of taking this medicine. What is the use of delaying aging? 】

[It’s of no use at all. 】

【The gain outweighs the loss. 】

[Why is Father eating too? 】

[How should I persuade Jiujiu? 】

Without waiting for Jiujiu's advice, the Supreme Emperor immediately threw the medicine he handed to his mouth out of the window after hearing Jiujiu's thoughts.

Judging from his actions, he seemed to have a bit of anger, anger after being deceived.

"Father, what are you..." Jiujiu was puzzled.

Di Jiang saw something. It seemed that the Supreme Emperor could hear Jiujiu's thoughts, but he was not sure. He continued to observe.

The Supreme Emperor sighed and explained: "I feel that the more I take this medicine, the heavier I get and my energy is not good. I really don't want to take it today."

"Throw it away!"

"talk about it later."

Jiujiu: Just right, no need for me to persuade you.

But what about the future?

"Father, if you feel uncomfortable after taking it, don't take any more." Jiujiu said: "You have already taken the Shoukang Pills that Jiujiu gave you, and you are feeling well. There is no need to take anything else."

"Everything is too much and too little is too much."

"Too much greed is not good."

The Supreme Emperor was waiting for Jiujiu's words. After hearing this, he nodded with a smile, "Okay, father, listen to Jiujiu, too much is not enough, and it is not good to be greedy. I will not eat anymore."

"Ah."

Di Jiang: It seems that the Supreme Emperor can really hear Jiujiu’s heart.

The few of them talked for a while and then left the palace.

Jiujiu went to see a few brothers and Nan Yuanxiang.

Nan Yuanxiang's business has been doing well recently, and she is too busy to keep her feet on the ground.

Seeing Jiujiu, she hugged Jiujiu and kissed him while complaining that she was tired.

When Di Jiang saw it, he was furious.

Jiujiu was not angry at all, and helped Nan Yuanxiang for a few days before embarking on the road to Zhongzhou with Di Jiang and Pei Qingning.

Nan Yuanxiang also wanted to follow, but she had a big order in her hand and she couldn't leave, so she gave up.

Qingshu followed, saying that he was traveling with Jiujiu to gain experience.

After arriving in Zhongzhou, they headed to the Pei family first.

In order to prevent Pei Qingning from being chased by others again, Pei Qingning put on a hat.

The bamboo hat covered her entire face, so no one knew who she was or what her identity was.

Pei Qingning also followed Jiujiu obediently, not opening her mouth easily to attract the attention of others.

At this moment, after arriving at the door of Pei's house, Jiujiu showed his princess token, and then entered Pei's house with Dijiang and his party.

The Pei family is busy at the moment.

People from Zhongzhou Mansion have arrived and are talking to Mr. Pei.

After a few people came in, they sat aside and waited for Mr. Pei to finish talking to the people in Zhongzhou Mansion.

Jiujiu was waiting boredly, but she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Mr. Pei's tea. The taste was wrong. It didn't have the usual tea aroma. It seemed to be mixed with poison.

Master Pei didn't know it at all and was still drinking.
