Chapter 643 - 320 Still a Peach Blossom Face_1
Ma Mian and Bull Head swiftly moved aside, and from behind them floated a beautiful woman in palace attire, a younger version of Princess Ning.
Qian Yixiu exclaimed in panic, "Princess Ning, how did you come to be here?"
Princess Ning came to her bedside, with tears in her eyes, she said, "I have to go, and I came to say farewell to you."
Qian Yixiu was still somewhat bewildered and asked, "Farewell? Coming to bid me farewell with Bull Head and Ma Mian, does it mean that you are already dead?" Seeing Princess Ning nod her head, she urgently said, "I gave you the Red Demon Fruit, did you not eat it?"
Princess Ning replied, "Jinjin was wounded by a poisoned arrow, so I gave him the Red Demon Fruit. My life for his was worth it. Thank you, for it is with that Red Demon Fruit that my Jinjin can continue to live. Alas, a child without their mother is the most pitiable, and in the Palace, an orphan is even more so. I worry for him, which is why I’m especially here to ask for your help. Miss Qian, it turns out you have a great destiny and fortune; no wonder you’re so intelligent. You must have seen it too, Jinjin’s deep-rooted affection for you. However, marriage is a matter of fate, and I do not know if you two can eventually become lifelong partners. Please promise me, whether you will marry him in the future or not, that you will take care of him, help him."
Qian Yixiu responded, "He and I grew up together from childhood, with a depth of affection unmatched by anyone else. Should he face any difficulties, it’s unquestionably my family’s and my responsibility to help. However, ultimately Prince Ning will become the Emperor, and as a son of the Emperor, do I have the ability to take care and assist?"
Princess Ning said somberly, "It is precisely because Prince Ning is to become Emperor that I am even more worried about Jinjin. Since ancient times, the Royal Family has been heartless, and those who ascend to that position do so stepping over piles and piles of bones... Although Prince Ning is good, he is in the prime of life and there will surely be other women, other sons. It’s not that I don’t trust him, but I fear he won’t be able to help himself... Miss Qian, if the situation ever turns unfavorable for Jinjin, please go and remind the Prince of the promise he made to me, and the words he agreed to, by telling him that I visited you in a dream before I left."
Qian Yixiu asked, "Would Prince Ning believe such a thing as a dream visitation?"
