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

The system stated: "His core interest, stemming from the excessive humiliation he suffered as a child, is to rise above everyone else and become an emperor, a ruler above all others."

[To have all people's power and life and death in one's own hands.]

Xie Xing asked in confusion, "You mean, you want me to stop him from becoming emperor?"

System: [That's right, you're the villainous female supporting character. Only if you do something that truly harms his interests will he hate you and actually kill you, not just commit a crime of passion.]

Xie Xing began to ponder.

Xie Xing suddenly realized.

[Once you're in the game, you're part of it. Don't worry about him losing his throne because of your arrival; on the contrary, it's possible he won't become emperor without you.]

The plot won't change because of you alone.

The system said.

Although the plot has changed, Xie Yuze still dies in the end.

Xie Xing subconsciously reached out and touched the fuzzy surface of the moon beside him.

She cannot return to Shengjing now.

There's nothing we can do back in Shengjing except wait for the outcome, so we might as well take this opportunity to catch up with them.

Thinking this, Xie Xing turned to look at the moon: "Moon, let's secretly follow that army and see what happens."

The moon let out a soft moan and lowered itself, gesturing for Xie Xing to sit on its back.

Xie Xing's legs felt cold, and she didn't have any suitable clothes to change into.

As soon as Xie Xing spread his legs, he felt a chill creeping down his spine.

Xie Xing blushed, covered her black robe with both hands, and said to the moon, "No need to sit, I'll lie down."

The moon tilted its head and looked at her blankly.

Xie Xing chuckled and sprawled out horizontally on the back of the moon.

moon:"……"

It revealed half-closed eyes.

Ignoring what was wrong with these humans, Moon leaped into the air, moving with lightning speed through the jungle.

……

the other side.

The army marched for dozens of miles and then set up camp in the forest.

In the tent.

Xie Mingzhu, disguised as a man, mingled with Luo Hanfeng. Sitting in Luo Hanfeng's tent, she said with some worry, "Hanfeng, I'm afraid my second brother will recognize me."

Luo Hanfeng had just taken off his armor when he heard this and walked over to Xie Mingzhu's side, comforting her, "Jun Lanjin, Luo Huaichuan, and the Crown Prince have many spies in the palace. If I'm not here, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Xie Mingzhu's eyes showed a look of emotion: "Hanfeng, I know you've always been thinking of me."

"I'll be careful with my second brother."

Luo Hanfeng smiled with satisfaction. He reached out and patted Xie Mingzhu's head, saying gently, "It's alright, Mingzhu. Your second brother is the one who loves you the most in the Xie family. He even almost killed his own sister for your sake."

Even if he meets you, he won't do anything to you; he'll understand.

Xie Mingzhu frowned.

After Luo Hanfeng's previous reminder, she now felt that Xie Tongchen probably really did have some improper thoughts about her.

After all, she was a woman who often dealt with the Crown Prince and others, so she knew best what an aggressive look in a man's eyes really meant.

The thought that her brother, whom she considered very close, had improper thoughts about her made Xie Mingzhu feel disgusted.

She bit her lip and said, "If my second brother truly considers me his sister, I think he would understand me."

"I'd also like to be his good sister."

"But if he really has other feelings for me, I hope that I will never see him again in this life."

Xie Mingzhu uttered this extremely cold statement as soon as she opened her mouth.

She regarded all the kindness Xie Tongchen had shown her in the past as nothing.

What a selfish person.

Luo Hanfeng hummed in agreement.

Inside the tent, Xie Mingzhu said that she and Xie Tongchen would never see each other again in this life. Outside the tent, Xie Tongchen leaned against a treetop, coldly wiping the sword in his hand.

After this incident, apart from the soldiers Xie Tongchen himself led, no one else in the Xie family wanted to associate with him.

"Brother Song, our young general is currently awaiting punishment. I wonder if His Majesty will consider expunging his punishment after this victory."

Not far from Xie Tongchen, his soldiers, led by Song Ci'an, looked at Xie Tongchen with sympathy.

Song Ci'an glanced coldly at Xie Tongchen's position, then chuckled expressionlessly, "Who knows?"

"Brother Song, are you dissatisfied with our young general?" a soldier asked from the side.

Song Ci'an remained silent, gripped his sword, and walked away.

"Hey." Another soldier nudged the arm of the soldier who asked the question. "Can it be alright? Brother Song and I are from the same hometown. I heard that Brother Song's sister is actually the real daughter that the Xie family just found."

"What?" the soldiers exclaimed in surprise.

"The reason why Brother Song joined the young general's team is because of that girl."

"Brother Song doted on that younger sister, not letting her do any farm work at home, spoiling her like a rich girl. But I heard that when she was taken back to her real family, she was not treated well."

"Especially our young general, who is known to dislike that fifth young lady."

"It would be strange if Brother Song liked the young general."

"Is that so?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"That's not it."

"..."

Over here, the soldiers are gossiping.

Over there, Song Ci'an walked a little away, intending to find a water source to wash his face. Just as he approached the stream, he heard a sweet voice coming from inside: "Moon! Stop shaking your fur, you're getting it on me!"

"Roar!" This was followed by a low growl from a wild beast.

Song Ci'an narrowed his eyes, parted the bushes, and went inside.

The person in the stream happened to turn around at that moment.

Eyes facing each other.

Song Ci'an's eyes widened slightly: "Xing'er?"

Xie Xing was also somewhat surprised: "Second Brother?"

Song Ci'an looked at the tiger next to Xie Xing. Xie Xing's hand happened to be on the tiger's teeth. She was soaking wet, and her lower body was covered by water. In this state, both the human and the tiger looked in Song Ci'an's direction.

Song Ci'an rested his hand on the sword at his waist, watching the tiger warily.

Xie Xing was startled and quickly stepped in front of the moon, saying, "Brother, brother, this is my pet."

"pet?"

Song Ci'an paused in drawing his sword. He looked at Xie Xing, then at the tiger behind her, his expression indescribable: "You mean, your pet is a tiger?"

Xie Xing: "..."

She chuckled, trying to brush it off with a laugh.

Song Ci'an's face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

"I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to come out here."

As Song Ci'an spoke, he turned around and was about to walk behind the bushes to take shelter.

Xie Xing asked awkwardly, "Second Brother, could you find me some clothes?"

"My clothes are torn, and I'm ashamed to be seen by anyone after I come out."

Song Ci'an: "..."

He was seething with anger and went to find clothes for Xie Xing.
