"I actually have clairvoyance. I accidentally glanced over here from far away and saw a beautiful woman crying her heart out. Oh my, I felt so sorry for her. I quickly came over to take a look." Chi Li said nonsense with a smile.

Looking at Chi Li's curved eyebrows, He Wanyue sniffed and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You're talking nonsense again." Her tone was innocent and naive like a young girl.

She is so beautiful, Chi Li thought.

"Oh, by the way, I can't pay you back the money I owe you now. My father took all the money I had." He Wanyue lowered her head and picked at her fingers guiltily.

"It's okay, why is the Marquis so angry?"

Chi Li pulled out the wooden chair under the round table and sat down. She pointed at the chair next to her, looked at Liu Cai, and motioned her to sit down.

After Liu Cai sat down obediently, He Wanyue sighed and said, "Because I hate Jiang Wenjing and don't want to marry him."

"Is that so? I hate him too." Chi Li felt uncomfortable all over when she thought of Jiang Wenjing's creepy eyes.

He Wanyue's eye sockets were red and swollen, but her eyes were exceptionally bright. She stared at Chi Li without blinking, and seemed to be relieved as if she had confirmed something.

"I think father has already agreed, he just..." He Wanyue said with difficulty.

"Just what?"

"Eh, I don't know either." He Wanyue sighed, feeling very confused. "Father agreed to my marriage to the prince. Maybe he really loves me? I don't understand."

Chi Li and He Wanyue were chatting with each other, forgetting the time.

The night comes quietly, the crescent moon is like a hook outside the window, the summer insects are chirping, and a few stars are twinkling to accompany the cold moon.

"It's time for dinner." Chi Li said, touching her hungry stomach.

Liu Cai raised her face from her folded arms on the table, "I'm so tired from sleeping."

Chi Li stood up and pulled Liu Cai up with a smile: "Let's go back and have dinner."

"Sister...goodbye." He Wanyue said awkwardly.

"See you."

~~~~~~~~~

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Chi Li had no appetite and felt tired after drinking half a bowl of white porridge. She simply stopped eating and hid in the pavilion to cool off.

The pool is surrounded by a small pavilion with a guqin placed in the pavilion. Chi Li was in high spirits and imagined herself as a fairy with superb guqin skills, and began to play the guqin gracefully.

Under the moonlight, the sound of the piano and the sound of flowing water intertwined, startling the insects that were constantly chirping into silence.

Liucai was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore and ran away while covering his ears. The lackey Liuguang endured for a while, but when he saw that Chi Li had no intention of stopping, he also ran out of the pavilion with a ferocious look on his face.

Chi Li lowered her head, deeply immersed in the sound of the piano.

After the song ended, Chi Li looked up with a happy mood and saw a dark shadow standing in front of the piano.

He was dressed in black, with his long hair tied up with a simple black hairpin, and the loose hair in front of his forehead hung down naturally. Just standing there with his graceful figure made Chi Li's heart excited.

Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't covered his ears with a pale face.

"You...you are definitely his biological child." Bai Zhenxi said through gritted teeth.

"It still sounds pretty good." Chi Li said dejectedly.

Bai Zhenxi lowered his hands from covering his ears and said unwillingly, "Actually...it's OK, it sounds good."

"Yeah, I knew it." Chi Li stood up and pounced on Bai Zhenxi, grabbing his waist with both hands and touching him.

Bai Zhenxi hugged her tightly, and following the movements of Chi Li's hands, he felt a tingling sensation on his waist, making him feel as if his whole body was on fire.

"I'm here to talk to you about serious matters." He whispered shyly.

Chi Li contentedly withdrew her hands, stood up straight, and teased, "Xiao Bai, why don't you look at me?"

The handsome man with a jade face had blushing ears. He tilted his head and dared not look at Chi Li.

Chi Li didn't let him go, but tilted her head to the right, insisting on looking into his eyes.

Unable to avoid it, Bai Zhenxi raised her eyes and met Chi Li's smiling eyes.

Now it was Chi Li's turn to dodge. He was really handsome, with dark blue eyes beneath his clear eyebrows, and his gaze was warm and clear, as if filled with a bucket of early spring wine.

"It makes me feel itchy. What do you want to tell me?" Chi Li said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about the topic we didn't finish last time. Don't you want to know?" Bai Zhenxi said.

Bai Zhenxi had said before that Chi Tao seemed to have some plans, but no matter how Chi Li asked, he never spoke again.

"Are you willing to talk again?" Chi Li asked.

"You're right. If we want to trust each other, we should tell each other everything." Bai Zhenxi said.

Chi Li took his right hand and walked to the edge of the pavilion and sat down on the bench.

"You say." Chi Li looked at him with wide eyes, but did not let go of his hand.

Bai Zhenxi's face turned red and then pale. He cleared his throat and said, "The Fourth Prince's men uncovered a past event. Your mother was killed because she overheard the Second Prince's plan."

"What kind of plan is that? You want to be the emperor? Do I need to hear that? I can tell it just by looking at you." Chi Li said speechlessly.

"In short, your father has always wanted revenge. I only figured it out not long ago. He seems to have been inadvertently instilling in you the message of marrying the second prince for revenge." Bai Zhenxi recalled the past with a complicated expression.

From this perspective, it seems that the tragedy in the original plot all originated from Jiang Wenjing's ascension to the throne.

Did Bai Zhenxi also die at the hands of Jiang Wenjing?

Chi Li, lost in thought, frowned and unconsciously held Bai Zhenxi's hand, tightening and loosening it.

"Ahem! What are you thinking about?" Bai Zhenxi blushed and pulled his hand away.

"Think big." Chi Li said seriously.

"In short, don't get involved in the fight between the princes. I still have a mission to do, so you can play by yourself." Bai Zhenxi stood up and rubbed Chi Li's head twice.

"Okay, bye, remember to think of me." Chi Li smiled happily, and her features looked even more beautiful and charming.

Bai Zhenxi nodded and promised seriously, "I will miss you."

Only after everyone left, looking back every few steps, did Chi Li begin to seriously think about the current situation and the future.

The plot has changed because of He Wanyue's rebirth. Jiang Wenjing will definitely be the loser, and the prince will ascend the throne. But is Prince Jiang Zhili really as gentle and harmless as he appears?

Chi Li was not naive enough to think that Jiang Zhili would coexist peacefully with his former rival, the Fourth Prince Jiang Peixuan, after becoming emperor. He was afraid that Bai Zhenxi's fate would be the same.

Therefore, the only way to save Baizhenxi is to defeat the prince and make Jiang Peixuan the emperor.

"Ah, it gives me a headache. How could I be so capable? This is not a game." Chi Li complained, covering his forehead.

"Do I have to go find Jiang Zhili with my buff and tell him, hey, boy, you're not cut out to be an emperor, give up. I laughed, but my scalp tingles just thinking about that scene."

So, where do we start to save the moon?
