After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Yuze was trembling all over.

The thought of what the system said—that he would be crippled in both legs and would eventually have to crawl to other people's homes for help—made his legs ache slightly.

impossible?

Xie Yuping calmed himself down and said in a low voice, "After you went out with her today, did you hear anything?"

Xie Yuze pursed his lips and said, "The thing in her mind is called a system. I think she might be being controlled. That system is forcing her to do evil things."

"We also need to bring Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng together."

Speaking of Luo Hanfeng, Xie Yuze couldn't help but say, "Brother, I saw Luo Hanfeng today. He was being treated like a dog by the four kings. How could he possibly be the future emperor?"

"Mingzhu, on the other hand, seemed to be bewitched by him. Upon seeing him, she immediately stood up to the four kings for him and even had someone buy medicine for him to apply."

Xie Yuhe frowned: "Is there anything unusual about the Seventh Prince?"

Xie Yuze shook his head: "No."

Xie Yuhe was deep in thought.

Unfortunately, Xie Xing stayed with Jun Lanjin for the past three days, so they could no longer gather information.

The unknown evokes feelings of fear and terror.

Xie Yuze couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are we characters from a storybook?"

Is fate predetermined?

Xie Yuhe's eyes turned cold: "No, now that we know, we can definitely change this outcome."

"Besides, it's not certain whether what it says is true or false."

……

Neither Xie Yuhe nor Xie Yuze were in good spirits after being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.

Over there, Xie Xing, his hands wrapped up like a rice dumpling, slowly followed Jun Lanjin towards the carriage.

"Don't I need to go home?" Xie Xing asked the system. "I haven't even picked up my clothes yet."

The system was very happy that Xie Xingneng and Jun Lanjin were getting close.

"What's the big deal? He's the only king of the Great Chu with a different surname. Why would he need a few more clothes from you?"

Xie Xing thought about it and agreed.

Jun Lanjin walked in front of the two of them, and the voices of Xie Xing and the system in her mind made Jun Lanjin feel somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Xie Wu." Jun Lanjin paused, then called out to her lazily.

Xie Xing immediately perked up. Holding up her tightly wrapped little hands, she ran up to Jun Lanjin, her bright eyes looking at him: "Your Highness, did you call me?"

Jun Lanjin was dressed in a blue brocade robe and wore a jade crown. He was a whole head taller than Xie Xing, so Xie Xing could only crane his neck to look at him.

From her angle, she happened to meet his beautiful, downcast eyes—a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to possess both indifference and affection.

Xie Xing was completely captivated, whispering to the system in his mind: "How can a man be so good-looking, handsome, and kind too!"

Jun Lanjin smiled slightly, covered his mouth with his folding fan, and his eyes curved slightly.

This little girl is really...

There's no need to be so infatuated with him.

Xie Xing chirped again: [It's a pity he only has one year. I must treat him well during this year!]

She clenched her little fists.

Jun Lanjin's lips straightened.

He slammed the folding fan down hard on the little girl's forehead.

"Ouch!" Xie Xing covered his forehead with both hands, his clear and bright eyes instantly turning into teary eyes.

【it hurts!】

"Your Highness?" Xie Xing opened her pink lips and looked at Jun Lanjin blankly.

Jun Lanjin's mood improved again.

He coughed lightly: "Stupid, daydreaming."

Xie Xing: ?

Dull-witted?!

she?!!

She immediately glared at the system, her eyes wide with anger, and in a fit of rage, she loudly complained in her mind: "He's so mean! He judges people by their appearance!"

[I'm not stupid at all, I'm very smart!]

Junlan Jin was delighted.

[Ding, the villain's favorability towards the host has reached 10%.] The system's cold voice sounded at this moment.

It exclaimed excitedly, "[Oh my god, host, you're making faster progress with the villains than you're grinding hatred points with the protagonist! After completing the mission, you'll be able to go home very soon!]"

[Host, keep up the good work!]

Xie Xing's anger froze.

Then, she immediately changed her expression in front of Jun Lanjin, flashing a smile: "Your Highness?! Would you like to knock again?"

"My forehead is easy to knock on; it makes a loud thud!"

She is going home!

Jun Lanjin: "..."

His lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

The system's voice, however, made him feel a sense of vigilance.

His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Come back home?

Wasn't her home the residence of the General Who Protects the Nation?

And what are those weird favorability values?

Jun Lanjin was lost in thought when he summoned Hua An.

"Send a horse-drawn carriage here."

Hua An immediately went to take care of it.

Xie Xing tilted his head and looked at Jun Lanjin with a puzzled expression.

Jun Lanjin did not return directly to the Jin Prince's Mansion, but instead took Xie Xing to the Treasure Pavilion. As for Xie Mingzhu?

He had already sent his personal guards to keep a close watch on Xie Mingzhu.

If she makes any move, the guards will immediately send him a message.

Xie Xing was not fully recovered and felt dizzy. He was drowsy in the carriage, his eyelids drooping. But because Jun Lanjin was beside him, he immediately sat up straight and straightened his clothes to try to cover up his condition.

After finishing, she secretly glanced at Jun Lanjin's reaction.

Seeing that he hadn't noticed them, Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know, her every move had already been observed by Jun Lanjin.

He rested his chin on his hand, his smiling, peach-blossom eyes fixed on her.

Zhenxiu Pavilion is the most popular restaurant in Shengjing. Many people of high status, including princes and princesses, like to dine there.

Of course, the exquisite and delicious food is not the most remarkable thing about the Zhenxiu Pavilion.

It's because the program at the Zhenxiu Pavilion changes every day.

A large stage was set up on the first floor of the Zhenxiu Pavilion, where people performed.

Music, dance, storytelling, and chess were all available.

Since arriving in this world, Xie Xing's only activity area has been the backyard of the General Zhenguo's Mansion. The only time he went out was for the victory celebration banquet at the palace that day.

At that time, the little girl had just entered the Treasure Pavilion, her eyes wide open.

[So big! ]

System: [Yes, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. The era of the survival of the fittest was nothing like modern times; one wrong move and you could lose your life.]

This is also a source of concern for the system. Xie Xing is a pampered child born in a peaceful era who has never suffered any hardship. How can he complete the mission in this treacherous ancient world?

not to mention……

It's still the same world.

The system was worried.

Jun Lanjin had already led his men up to the second floor.

Most of the private rooms on the second floor were reserved by scions of prominent families.

At this time, the private room was already full of people.

The Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Third Prince who is currently Xie Xing's fiancé, and the Fourth Prince who just flirted with Xie Xing at the horse farm.

"Those two daughters of the General Zhenguo are really hilarious." Before even entering the private room, Luo Mian's loud laughter could be heard: "The older one wants to protect that bastard, and the younger one looks like a pushover, but she doesn't even respect a bastard."

The Crown Prince smiled gently and said, "Mingzhu is a bit too kind-hearted."

Luo Mian's smile faded, and he picked up his wine cup, saying, "Yes, elder brother, you and Xie Mingzhu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Tell me, how could Father bestow Xie Mingzhu upon me?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's smile vanished.

He gave Luo Mian a cold look: "Fourth brother, don't try to guess what Father is thinking."

"I think the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Miss Xie are a perfect match."

Just then, a slow, leisurely voice rang out.

Everyone's expressions changed.

The prince and the others stood up and looked towards the door.

Jun Lanjin was seen leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, his long, narrow eyes looking over with a smile.

Is it Prince Jin?

Why is he here?
