Chapter 686 You Will Regret It

"What? Not welcome?"

Seeing that Li Beifeng remained silent, the girl in the courtyard raised her lips slightly.

Those smart eyes seemed to have a somewhat strange gaze, and there was a bright smile on his face.

It seemed like he was playing with it, and he seemed to be looking at it with a bit of curiosity.

She seemed to have thought of something, and said to herself: "That's right, you are the prince of Northern Qi now, and the emperor of Northern Qi in the future will have a different status than before. It is normal to look down on a commoner like me..."

Li Beifeng looked at her with a slightly complicated expression, and after a while he said, "Why are you here?"

"Why am I not here?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Aren't you already gone?"

Li Beifeng said silently.

She left the capital a few months ago.

Where he went, no way of knowing!

Now, I didn't expect that she would be back here again. For some reason, Li Beifeng felt a little confused.

Every time he saw her, Li Beifeng always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Yes, I did leave originally!"

Zhou Qiuning also seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "I originally thought that I would never come back here again..."

"Unexpectedly, I'm back again!"

She glanced at Li Beifeng and said meaningfully: "What about you? Isn't it the same?"

"As the Crown Prince of Northern Qi, why are you back here?"

Zhou Qiuning raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that Zhao Jing will kill you?"

"He can't kill me!"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

Zhou Qiuning was stunned and stared at him for a few times before suddenly laughing and saying, "You are indeed different from the Li Beifeng I know..."

"the same as you!"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

Seeing her again was in a different state of mind.

He and she are no longer the same as when they first met in Chaoyang County.

"How about you tell me how you suddenly became the Crown Prince of Northern Qi?"

Zhou Qiuning walked slowly from the courtyard with interest, came to Li Beifeng, raised her head slightly and looked at him: "I'm quite curious?"

"Nothing is permanent!"

Li Beifeng thought for a while and then spoke.

"What a time of uncertainty!"

Zhou Qiuning pointed out something with a smile on her face: "Then what is your purpose of coming back here this time? Let me guess..."

She looked Li Beifeng up and down with interest, and then raised her eyebrows slightly: "Now Beizhou is in chaos, and your Northern Qi army is on the rise. As expected, the restoration of the country is a certainty. And yet you have returned to the capital at this time. …”

"Presumably, what you want to do should be related to the Jokhang Palace...or should I say, related to Zhao Jing?"

Li Beifeng was slightly surprised.

He still looked down upon Zhou Qiuning.

She could actually guess this step.

From Li Beifeng's focused expression, Zhou Qiuning got the answer she wanted to know.

"Really?!"

She looked at Li Beifeng meaningfully.

"What about you?"

Li Beifeng did not answer her question, but asked: "Where have you been in the past few months?"

"Me?"

Hearing Li Beifeng suddenly ask her, Zhou Qiuning seemed stunned for a moment and chuckled, "I've been to many places!"

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

Li Beifeng said nothing, looking attentively.

"I went to Zhengyimen!"

Zhou Qiuning chuckled and said casually: "Kill someone!"

Li Beifeng was startled, and then he remembered something.

Zhou Qiuning once mentioned to him that she was once a disciple of Zhengyi Sect, and her master was killed by someone in the master's sect.

Zhou Qiuning, as a former disciple of the Zhengyi sect, has always wanted revenge.

so……

Did she go for revenge?

"Then, I went to Jiangnan again and met Prince Zhaonan..."

Li Beifeng's eyes narrowed. Did she go to see Prince Zhaonan?

Does she know Prince Zhaonan well?

"I wandered around outside for a long time, but in the end I found it was quite boring. So, I came back..."

Having said this, Zhou Qiuning looked him up and down with her hands behind her hands, then moved a little closer, with a narrow look on her face: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I have something to ask you?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "What's the matter?"

"Are you... married to her?" Zhou Qiuning asked.

She didn't mention anyone by name, but Li Beifeng knew who she was asking.

"not yet!"

Before returning to the capital this time, Li Beifeng had thought about getting married to Su Yi.

But when he mentioned this matter to Su Yi, Su Yi rejected him.

Until now, Li Beifeng still doesn't know the reason.

"That's it..."

Zhou Qiuning was thoughtful, and something seemed to come to her mind in her smart eyes: "Then... if you count the time, your child has already been born, right?"

Zhou Qiuning already knew about Li Suyi's pregnancy when she was still in Beizhou last winter.

Before she left the capital a few months ago, she last saw Li Suyi. Counting the time, the child must have been born!

"Um."

Li Beifeng nodded.

"Boy or girl?"

Zhou Qiuning asked again.

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "Girl!"

"Daughter..."

Zhou Qiuning blinked slightly, "What's your name?"

"Qi Ling!"

Li Beifeng spoke softly, with a soft look on his face.

After being away from Sunset City for so long, he missed his daughter a little.

Zhou Qiuning stared at Li Beifeng's expression at this time, and didn't know how to speak for a while. She swallowed back the words that were on her lips.

Li Beifeng now is indeed different from the Li Beifeng she met at the beginning!

Perhaps it is because he is now a father, he has matured a lot, less childish and more stable.

Yes!

As if realizing something, Zhou Qiuning's eyes flashed a little complicated.

Now he is not only a father, but also the prince of Northern Qi and the leader of the Northern Qi Old Party... He has so many responsibilities on his shoulders!

He is no longer the young man who accompanied her to the Jianghu Conference when he was still in Chaoyang County and was played by her.

It's only been a year, but so many things have happened...

"She must be very cute!"

Zhou Qiuning said softly.

"Yeah."

Li Beifeng nodded. Qi Ling was not good-looking when she was just born, but now she is getting more and more cute after growing up.

She almost perfectly inherited her mother's advantages!

Li Beifeng suddenly had an urge to go back. He had just arrived in the capital, but he seemed to have been away for a long time.

He couldn't wait to return to Su Yi and Qi Ling.

"It seems that I have to congratulate you!"

Zhou Qiu stared at Li Beifeng, and a smile of indescribable emotion appeared on his face.

It seemed that he was smiling, but the smile seemed to be a little... forced?

"So, why did you go back to the capital this time?"

Li Beifeng came back to his senses and glanced at her.

Her home should be in Chaoyang County, why didn't she go back?

He wanted to ask, but Li Beifeng remembered that she had mentioned it before. After leaving Chaoyang County, she had broken up with the Zhou family and never went back since then.

Perhaps, that has become her inner regret and pain.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng felt a little guilty.

He was too young at the time, and he was too decisive when he killed Zhou Zhongzheng.

After all, he was Zhou Qiuning's brother. He didn't care about Zhou Qiuning's face at all, and was merciless and ruthless.

This was also the fuse that led to the complete destruction of the relationship between the two.

Before this, the relationship between the two was actually at a very delicate balance line. It was only separated by a layer of gauze, and it could be easily pierced.

But Zhou Zhongzheng's death brought the relationship between the two to an abrupt end.

Completely destroyed!

Even... became enemies!

However, at this point, Li Beifeng did not regret it.

If he was given another chance, he would still do it!

He would still kill Zhou Zhongzheng!

But...

Li Beifeng soon realized something.

Are they really enemies?

When they met in Sunset City, Beizhou last winter, Zhou Qiuning did assassinate him.

But what happened afterwards?

She clearly wanted to kill Li Beifeng, but she never did it despite so many opportunities afterwards.

Even later, she helped again and again... helped Li Beifeng enter the palace, helped him save Emperor Zhao, and fought his way out of the palace with Li Beifeng...

One thing after another, one thing after another flashed through Li Beifeng's mind.

He was silent.

"Me?"

Zhou Qiu Ning looked at Li Beifeng with interest, and chuckled: "After leaving the capital, I went to Zhengyi Sect. Originally, after revenge for my master, I planned to travel and see the world far away. However, I changed my mind later..."

"I met someone, guess who it is?!"

Li Beifeng glanced at her and frowned slightly: "Who?"

"Don't you want to guess?" She looked at Li Beifeng mischievously.

Li Beifeng didn't speak.

He and Zhou Qiu Ning didn't know many people, and there were even fewer people who could arouse her interest.

So... who is it?

Almost soon, several figures appeared in Li Beifeng's mind.

When he saw Zhou Qiu Ning's mischievous eyes again, he suddenly thought of something.

"Zhao Ying?!"

His voice was slightly low.

"Sure enough, you have her in your heart, right?"

Zhou Qiu Ning laughed.

A brilliant smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face, and she squinted her eyes, as if she had discovered some truth.

Li Beifeng's heart skipped a beat.

When Zhou Qiu Ning mentioned it, he already had a guess in his heart... The person who could make Zhou Qiu Ning mention it and the two of them knew each other was almost ready to come out...

When the name was mentioned again, Li Beifeng's heart was still uneasy.

"Where have you seen her?"

Li Beifeng asked casually in a slightly low voice.

Zhou Qiu Ning looked at Li Beifeng's eyes with a smile, and opened her red lips lightly: "Jiangnan!"

Li Beifeng was stunned.

Jiangnan!

Isn't that Zhao Qi's territory?

She went to Jiangnan?

Could it be...

"She went to see Zhao Qi?" Li Beifeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhou Qiuning smiled and said, "Then do you know what her purpose is in meeting her uncle?"

Li Beifeng said calmly, "To persuade Zhao Qi to stop?!"

Zhou Qiuning was slightly startled, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She stared at Li Beifeng with her beautiful eyes for a while, and sighed softly, "You really know her very well."

Li Beifeng didn't speak, but his eyes were a little complicated.

After leaving the capital, she actually went to Jiangnan?

Even after leaving the capital, she still didn't let go of her mission and responsibility as the eldest princess?

It's really her character!

"Then do you want to guess again..."

Zhou Qiu Ning seemed to think of something again, and looked at him playfully: "Where is she now?"

Li Beifeng was stunned, then suddenly stared at her, as if he realized something, and said in a deep voice: "She is also in Beijing?!"

She is back? !

This news caught Li Beifeng by surprise.

Since Zhou Qiu Ning mentioned this matter, it is naturally impossible to mention it for no reason. Then, there is only one possibility... She is back!

So the familiar figure he saw on the street that day was not a dazzle? !

It was her? !

Zhou Qiu Ning smiled: "I didn't say that, but you really care about her, don't you?"

"She..."

Li Beifeng subconsciously wanted to ask something, but when he looked at Zhou Qiu Ning's meaningful eyes, he seemed to understand something.

"What do you want to say?!"

"I'm just a little curious...what is your relationship with her?"

Zhou Qiu Ning stared at him with a smile: "You like her, right?"

Li Beifeng was silent and did not answer this question.

"Don't talk? Do you agree?"

"Is it important?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her. Since she knew his current identity, she naturally knew the relationship between him and Zhao Ying.

They are like fire and water!

Is it important to like her or not?

"Very important!"

Zhou Qiuning nodded and said meaningfully: "Although you two have different identities and positions now, but... this does not affect your love for her, right?"

Li Beifeng did not speak, he would not fall for it!

"So, you really still like her, right?"

Zhou Qiuning said meaningfully. When he first saw him and Zhao Ying at the Jianghu Conference, Zhou Qiuning knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

"Tsk tsk, I have seen it..."

Zhou Qiuning's mouth corners slightly raised: "What does it mean to be in love but not in love?"

Hearing this, Li Beifeng's heart skipped a beat, and his heart jumped for some reason.

He glanced at her calmly: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you want to see her again?"

Zhou Qiuning suddenly asked again.

Li Beifeng was silent for a moment.

Meet her?

In a moment of impulse, Li Beifeng did have an idea...but soon, he calmed down again.

Meet?

Meet again?

What can we talk about when we meet?

"I don't want to!"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

Zhou Qiuning was slightly surprised: "Why?"

"I'm afraid she will kill me!"

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "I'm not her opponent."

"She won't kill you!"

Zhou Qiuning said playfully: "How could she bear to kill you? I've known her for so long, and you're the first man she likes..."

"So what?"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "She and I have different identities and positions, and we are destined not to be on the same path."

"I don't think so!"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head, her eyes were indifferent, and she said casually: "What family and country hatred, what grievances and hatreds, that's just the shackles imposed on you two by the secular world... If you really love each other, why do you have to use all this as an excuse?"

Li Beifeng was silent for a moment: "You don't understand!"

"I don't understand, but I also know one thing. You two, don't want to face each other, right?"

Zhou Qiuning smiled.

"I have something else to do, I'll leave first!"

Li Beifeng said calmly, turning around and planning to leave.

"Hey, are you really not going to see her?"

Zhou Qiuning stared at his back, and when she saw that Li Beifeng didn't seem to be planning to stop, a hint of meaningful amusement suddenly appeared on her face.

"If you don't see her, I guarantee you will regret it."

"..."
