Most of the treasures obtained should be used in this era to add more vitality and freedom to this country and its people.
She only wants a very small part of it.
She is not greedy.
She is willing to return to her ordinary self.
But I don’t know what the situation will be like when I go back.
She never responded to Fang Ping's confession.
Because she knew that Fang Ping didn't like her, but he mistook the favor of saving her life for love between a man and a woman.
Most importantly, she was unwilling to test human nature.
Here, she is a princess high above everyone else.
But back in modern times, she is just an ordinary worker.
There is a gap between celebrities and ordinary people.
Perhaps Fang Ping himself was not clear, who he liked, Zhong Ning or Princess Zhaohua.
When all the light fades, the truth is always naked and unacceptable, and she is unwilling to test human nature.
Even when she returns to the modern era, she will no longer have any contact with Fang Ping, Zhang Wanting, or even Lu Xingzhou.
She said she would protect them and bring them back.
This is what she demands of herself.
But I won't place such expectations on any of them.
She is willing to do this herself, but she cannot ask others to do the same.
These people will just be passers-by in her life.
She was content just to watch from afar.
As for the people of this era... Zhong Ning's consciousness floated into the space, where there were many pills placed in the transparent cover.
Before leaving, she would arrange for all her friends and lovers, as well as her secret guards.
Everything she owed.
It will be soon!
The third golden finger has appeared.
She originally thought she would stay here for several years, but unexpectedly, her time was running out.
Another tear fell.
Zhong Ning frowned slightly in her sleep. It must be because Fang Ping's song was too sad that she was immersed in it and thinking about all kinds of random things.
Right, that is it.
However, such an opportunity probably won't come again.
After returning, he was the shining star singer on the stage, and she was just an ordinary one in the crowded crowd below.
So, that's it.
Don't get too close, and don't respond.
You won’t have expectations and won’t get hurt.
Thinking this, Zhong Ning withdrew all his thoughts and fell asleep, but suddenly he felt a warmth on his face and the singing stopped.
Zhong Ning opened her eyes slightly, only to see Fang Ping half-kneeling in front of her. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye.
Seeing her open her eyes, Fang Ping leaned back a little, his eyes filled with longing and sadness, but he smiled and said, "Aning, your tears are so salty!"
Zhong Ning looked at him steadily without any reaction.
Fang Ping finally realized his previous offense and said, "Sorry..."
The favorability query device in Zhong Ning's sea of consciousness was opened, and the favorability level was 78, which was only within the trustworthy distance of good friends, so her guess was correct.
"You go back now. I'm a little sleepy and want to rest... Today's song is very nice. Thank you for your hard work..." Zhong Ning replied indifferently and closed his eyes again.
Zhong Ning knew that no matter how much she emphasized, Fang Ping would not believe it. This was an illusion caused by space. As long as he returned to the modern era, he would naturally recognize himself.
That's why she didn't respond at all to his offensive behavior just now.
A sense of loss flashed through Fang Ping's mind. He then put the guitar back into the space, tucked the quilt for Zhong Ning, and then walked away lightly.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back, only to see Zhong Ning covering his head with the quilt, seemingly really asleep.
Fang Ping pursed his lips, then turned and left.
After leaving the room, he felt like there was a lump in his heart.
That feeling is hard to describe.
He just felt that Zhong Ning had clearly drawn a red line between him and him.
He cannot cross it, otherwise, there will be an end between him and Zhong Ning.
He didn't know why. Could it be that all the kindness Zhong Ning had shown him in the past was in vain?
Fine snowflakes were falling from the sky, and Fang Ping was walking alone among them.
I can't figure it out, I can't guess it, I just feel like there's a hollow in my heart that can't be filled.
He wanted to go back.
Really.
Here, he would never have the chance to get close.
Zhong Ning would rather have a sweet romance with the young man here than give him a chance.
what is this?
Is he really that bad?
No, that's not right. He is not bad at all. He can't waste his time on this. He has to go find Zhang Wanting. Only she can solve the problem of the batch of English books in the space.
Outside the Pingning Marquis Mansion.
Fang Ping stood outside the mansion and handed over a visiting card, specifying that he wanted to visit Zhang Mingxuan, the son of the Marquis of Pingning.
In this era, the separation between men and women is taken more seriously, so if he wants to find Zhang Wanting, he must go through Zhang Mingxuan.
Ever since Zhang Mingxuan was brought back from Fangyuan by Zhong Ning, he has been severely punished by the Marquis's wife.
This time, the Marquis' wife struck Zhang Mingxuan in a fatal blow, breaking his calf. He has been recovering from his injury for some time.
It will take at least two months before I can get out of bed.
All his former good friends distanced themselves from him because he had brought Gu Mingzhe into Fangyuan.
Gu Mingzhe even broke off his friendship with him directly.
If he had just acted a little more silly in the past, it would have been fine.
It just happened to be in Fangyuan.
Unfortunately, the fragrant garden contained countless evidences of Prince An's conspiracy to win over court officials.
Unfortunately, in the dry well and under the cellar in the fragrant garden, there are countless girls and children who were abducted and trafficked here.
Unfortunately, he violated a taboo and offended Princess Zhaohua at this critical juncture.
He just got a beating, which was really too easy for him.
Zhang Mingxuan's original reluctance was replaced by fear when he saw the evidence of Fang Yuan's crime with his own eyes.
At that moment, he truly realized what he had done.
The female musician he teased and amused himself with, whom he thought was a prostitute, turned out to be a girl from a good family who had been abducted by human traffickers.
In order to avoid being beaten and to survive, the innocent girl had to give up all her dignity and please these nobles.
All his self-righteousness was completely shattered at that moment.
The words Princess Zhaohua said to him before she left made him feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.
Yes, his father and elder brother are currently on the battlefield, fighting for their lives.
The glory in the mansion that he had earned with his injuries and his life turned into a real joke because of his nonsense.
At that moment, he truly felt regret and humiliation.
During this period, the Marquis' wife told him everything about how Princess Zhaohua pleaded for the people and brought down many officials who were corrupt, accepted bribes, and harmed the people.
Only then did he realize that if Gu Mingzhe had not taken a step back at the critical moment, if Princess Zhaohua had not acted quickly enough.
Just because he dared to set foot in the fragrant garden, Princess Zhaohua had a reason to punish him.
By then, the entire Pingning Marquis Mansion will be implicated.
Zhang Mingxuan finally felt scared and had been reflecting on himself during this period. He had been disqualified from the Spring Examination, and at least he had no chance this year.
If you want to make another breakthrough, you can only start with martial arts.
Fortunately, the imperial court issued a decree to hold a military examination next year.
I think he still has a chance to participate.
However, he would inevitably disappoint his father's wish for him to become a civil official.
