Pei Bao'er hadn't seen Qi Heng for several days.

Ever since she remembered the past, she had had mixed feelings about this man.

Originally, when she became Pei Shu, she immediately felt that this man was too shrewd and very good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. He was a good king, but not a good husband, father, or even son. It can be said that he is a political animal through and through, as if he has been detached from the fundamental feelings of human beings.

Therefore, when she played Pei Shu conscientiously, she deliberately kept her distance from her. But somehow, this young version of Qi Heng seems to be very different from the middle-aged suspicious emperor in the book. At the very least, he didn't spoil his concubine and kill his wife as described in the book, and even though she treated him as indifferent as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, she never saw him angry with her, or displeased with her in any way.

This made Pei Baoer even more vigilant, because those who can endure what ordinary people can't bear are either saints or perverts.

He is clearly not the former.

God knows how hard she has to work in this situation to ignore the psychological resistance and complete the most important part of the plot of the original book - the birth of the cute male protagonist.

As a young woman who has been nurtured in the new era for more than 20 years, although Pei Baoer is a little uncomfortable with this kind of thing, she is not as chaste as a martyr. Left and right should be bitten by a dog once, I heard that it hurts to give birth, but fortunately, after giving birth, she can burp and get out, and she doesn't have to worry about the aftermath.

As a result, she went back with the child in her arms, but was summoned back by this dead pervert who didn't know whether to use the evil spell of conjuring spirits or gathering souls.

Especially after she learned about another incident today, her resentment towards Qi Heng reached an all-time high.

But this person turned a blind eye to the anger in her eyes, and said lightly: "How long are you going to be angry?" ”

Pei Baoer raised her eyebrows coldly, it was really the ancient version of straight male cancer that could ask such a question.

Beiyan, who was standing behind her to untie her hair, and the other people waiting at the door of the house disappeared silently. It must be his "masterpiece", and this thought made her a little annoyed. In the final analysis, although her identity as the so-called princess sounds noble, she still has to be attached to this man in the end.

She slowly did it herself, untying the complicated braids, silent.

The man took a few steps forward and said, "Yan'er's birth date has been sent to Zongzheng Temple, and he will be able to go to the jade in a few days, but this is the name...... Leave it as a nickname, according to the rules of this generation, give him a big name, Qi Tan. ”

Pei Bao'er's hand froze, and continued as if nothing had happened.

Finally, a waterfall of green silk broke free from the shackles and returned to its most natural state, glowing with a faint light under the candle flame.

The man's gaze was fixed on the black hair that was winding down, and his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything and walked straight over. He picked up the jade comb on the dresser before Pei Bao'er, held it in his pale and emaciated big hand, and quietly looked at her in the mirror while playing with it.

The eyes of the two briefly met in the mirror.

Pei Bao'er quickly looked away, lowered her eyes silently, and spoke up after a while: "Today, I saw Qingyun." ”

"I know."

The man answered quickly and seemed to be unthinking.

Pei Bao'er was not surprised by this answer, she curled the corners of her lips and smiled a little sarcastically: "In this case, I guess I asked him something, and the prince knows it clearly." ”

Qi Heng didn't answer, but his expression was determined.

Pei Bao'er had a faint anger surging in her heart, and she snorted lowly.

"I heard that Daoist Qingyun seems to be seriously injured, his body and bones are not very good, and he can't run, and he has been recuperating in the Spirit Void these days. I don't want to bother him, but there are always things I can't figure out lately, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become. I had no choice but to ask him to solve my doubts. ”

Seeing that he didn't mean to say anything, she didn't care, and continued to smile without laughing: "With all due respect, the prince is the fate of the true dragon emperor, why bother to do these thankless things?" ”

The stagnant look on Qi Heng's face finally changed.

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed: "So what? ”

"So what?" Pei Bao'er repeated his rhetorical question, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

She raised her eyes and looked straight at his black eyes like deep pools, and her lips opened slightly: "It seems that I don't have to beat around the bush." She changed her words: "When I woke up, I felt that something was not quite right when I heard him complain that his Taoism was broken, and when he pointed to the lifeline on his left palm and shouted about something broken. ”

Qi Heng smiled even more, and his eyes became softer, as if encouraging her to continue.

"It stands to reason that he should have only two break lines, close to each other. But there are three fractures on the palm line of Qingyun Dao Chang, one of which is actually at the very end. He said he had been born with him. A child who has not yet stepped into the door of cultivation can have this thing, if it is not for some fetters in his previous life, it is most likely caused by human beings. ”

He asked, "So what?" ”

"So? So, you knew that from the beginning, right? You've just been reborn! All the people, all the things, you know everything. You choose what is good for you and avoid what is bad, all of us are just talking and moving pawns in your eyes! Even if a person's life and death are held in your hands, moving with your heart, just like a marionette! ”

The more Pei Baoer spoke, the more excited she became, and she swept all the jewelry boxes on the dresser, scattering the jewels all over the place.

"How so?" Qi Heng is still very calm.

She exhaled deeply and closed her eyes slightly: "Daoist Qingyun saw a glimpse of a heavenly opportunity when he did this time. The first time you and the Taoist chief met, it wasn't the first year of Chengping, but the year of Jian'an, right? ”

After waiting for a moment, without waiting for the unexpected denial, she caught a trace of surprise on Qi Heng's face.

And so it was. Pei Baoer thought bitterly.

Qi Heng showed the first look of surprise since tonight, although it was only a faint frown on his face.

"Why do you know about the Jian'an period? It's Qingyun ......"

"It's not." Pei Baoer flatly denied it.

Of course she knew, because, the name "Qi Heng" did not appear from beginning to end in the original book, and he had always appeared with the title of Emperor Jian'an.

The twenty-fifth year of Jian'an is the point in time of the last climactic plot of the original book, because Qi Heng, the old emperor, finally died after several years of indulging in alchemy and cultivation, and he inherited his father's "fine tradition" and did not formally establish the prince until his death. So, this incident directly opened the battle for the throne between the male protagonist of the original book and the eldest prince of Queen Lin, the latter framed the former for poisoning the monarch's father, and the former was also a soldier to block the water and cover the earth, and a bloody storm was set off in the court.

When reading the book, Pei Baoer still felt a little inexplicably relieved. Heart, this eccentric old immortal finally gave way to the male protagonist with his braids! It's just that the male protagonist and the eldest prince in the book fought to the end, becoming the king and defeating the king, and he didn't make it clear how Emperor Jian'an died, whether he really died after eating too many pills, or was poisoned by the eldest prince or Queen Lin, or some other black hand, it became a mystery here.

Now that I think about it carefully, if the object of the so-called addiction to cultivation in those years was the Qingyun Dao Master......

A terrifying conjecture surfaced.

"All kings have dreams of immortality, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, majestic thrones, and power...... These are things that you can't give up. Therefore, you Jian'an saw Qingyun in the twenty-third year, and after learning about his ability, he coerced and lured him to renew your life, but unfortunately he failed, not only did you both die, but also reversed time and space in the dark, and everything fell back to the original point and started again......"

"And I should be her reincarnation. I live my life with good dignity, but I have been killed by your selfishness, and, more than once! ”

In the end, Pei Baoer's eyes were frighteningly red.

She is not afraid of this so-called man who is above 10,000 people under one person now, every word is provoking the other party's lower limit of patience, anyway, she is not afraid of death now.

Since Xiao Yan'er is his own son, he will naturally take care of it, and she doesn't have to worry about it. Liu Yun has no threat to him, let alone useless, and with his interests first, he must not be idle and bored to trouble them. In that case, what else is there to be afraid of her?

Her aggressive questioning was met with the expected silence or affirmative answer.

"What you said is generally good, but some details are mostly speculative and debatable."

Pei Baoer was about to laugh angrily at him.

What's going on with this serious tone of discussing academic issues with her? This man is not ashamed of his hole cards, isn't he nervous at all?

She closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally uttered the sentence that she had been unable to bear to say.

"If I say that the world is fictional, it doesn't exist, it's just a book in the real world. And you, in the real world, are not a hand-eyed character, just a small supporting role between the lines. Can you still be so calm? ”

She didn't want to pierce the last layer of window paper, because it would be too lethal.

Any thinking person who learns that the world he or she lives in is actually illusory will, to a certain extent, shake the fundamental motivation and foundation of his or her belief to survive. If the psychological quality is poor, if you don't say it well, you will go crazy directly, and if you are better, you may not be able to do something to destroy the world.

She was inexplicably sure that Qi Heng was not either of these two extreme personalities, but she never expected that he would be the third extreme.

After hearing this, he actually just thought about it, and he was not even shocked, but had a feeling of relief and sudden realization. Immediately afterward, he threw the question back to her.

"How do you determine what you mean by nothingness and truth?"

Pei Baoer was stunned.

He added, "I mean, how do you know that what you think is the real world is indeed real?" ”

"I, of course I know ......"

Qi Heng pointed to the few books scattered on the table next to him, and motioned to her, "Just like those books." As you said, every book is a world, so there are three small worlds on your desk. And this is what you call a book in the real world, right? ”

She nodded stunned.

"Then how do you know that your so-called real world is not another book in another big world?"
