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

Xie Yuze nodded.

His eyes were cold as he said indifferently, "I thought he was just a down-on-his-luck prince in the cold palace. If he was bullied, so be it. My Xie family can handle it."

"But I never expected that this bitch would actually have some skill."

"I don't know how he got involved with Xie Mingzhu, and later gained the emperor's trust. He also made contact with the heir of the Wen family and took advantage of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the war between the Southern Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom to bring devastation to the peaceful world."

"He killed the emperor, and my entire Xie family was executed by him and Xie Mingzhu."

"Xie Xing was protected by his three older brothers from the Song family and could have lived, but because he saved me, he was captured by that beast Luo Hanfeng and tortured to death every good piece of his body."

"Luo Hanfeng did it?" Jun Lanjin was somewhat surprised.

Judging from Luo Hanfeng's attitude towards Xie Xing, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

After all, Jun Lanjin could clearly see the covetousness and expectation in that boy's eyes.

Xie Yuze sneered, "This person is heartless and ruthless, colluding with Xie Mingzhu in evil deeds. He's utterly disgusting!"

"It's natural."

"Your Highness," Xie Yuze turned around and said to Jun Lanjin, "Every word I have said is true. If there is even a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!"

“I know that Your Highness has no interest in the throne, but if Luo Hanfeng ascends the throne, the world will be plunged into chaos.”

"All the princes and princesses of the royal family except him were killed."

"Only his loyal subjects survived."

“Your Highness…” Xie Yuze lowered his eyes, “Your Highness died in the Star-Picking Tower in the end.”

The Star-Picking Tower?

Jun Lanjin suddenly remembered Xie Xing's painting.

In Xie Xing's thoughts, only fragmented information could be heard, some of which were even incomplete.

But Xie Yuze revealed much more.

Unlike Xie Xing, Xie Yuze's inner voice was from God's perspective, explaining everything they had experienced in just a few words.

Although the result is there, all the details are missing.

Xie Yuze, on the other hand, only described his perspective, but in great detail.

Combining the two, Jun Lanjin finally felt that the thick fog in front of him seemed to be gradually dissipating.

Jun Lanjin looked up at him.

"Why did I die in the Star-Picking Tower?"

Xie Yuze shook his head, "I don't know."

"I was paralyzed at the time, and all the news I received later came from Song Qingyang, the eldest brother of the Song family."

"Your Highness, I know about the poison in your body."

"After the prince died, Physician Ximen came and said that if you hadn't died in an accident, he would have been able to find the antidote, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, sooner and cured the poison in your body."

"Where is the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Jun Lanjin finally believed that Xie Yuze had been reborn.

I've only ever heard of this snow lotus from Xie Xing's inner thoughts and from Ximen Zhu's mouth.

This medicine still only exists in legends.

"Southwards." Xie Yuze's eyes shone brightly. "I am willing to go south with Your Highness to treat the disaster and the epidemic, and at the same time, find medicine for Your Highness!"

"..."

……

……

City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as it was light, Xie Xing's room door was opened.

The light that shone in pierced Xie Xing, who was sleeping on the moon.

"My darling!" Chao Le's strong voice rang out.

Today he was dressed in a dark, exotic outfit, with many red hair ties tied around his head, and a small braid hanging down in front of his forehead, tied with small beads made of red gemstones.

It made him appear handsome and charmingly wicked.

He flicked his long robe, stepped into Xie Xing's room, and walked straight toward Xie Xing.

Before Xie Xing could react, Chao Le grabbed him and pulled him up.

"My dear, wake up quickly. You can take me to see your father and family soon."

"I have prepared a gift for your arrival, which is just waiting to be given to your father. Then you will rightfully become my thirteenth concubine!"

Chao Le grabbed Xie Xing's shoulders and swayed her back and forth.

Xie Xing: @_@～～

She was in a daze until she heard Chao Le say that he wanted her to become his official thirteenth concubine. At that moment, she was jolted awake and opened her eyes.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Your Highness!"

"I'm awake. I'm awake."

Chao Le then let go of her hand.

The two are of different heights, so when Chao Le grabbed Xie Xinghuang, he simply lifted him up and shook him.

As soon as he let go, Xie Xing fell flat on his backside onto the floor.

With one hand behind his back, Chao Le turned around and said, "I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Get ready and we'll set off."

Xie Xing: "..."

Finished!

I really don't know what to do now!

Her shoulders slumped, and her whole being exuded a deathly aura.

How is she supposed to find a home?

It's over! It's over!

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn quickly came to an end. Xie Xing waited until the time was up before reluctantly leaving the house.

She wanted to take the moon with her when she went out.

Chao Le, who was standing in front of Xie Xing, turned her head and said in a light voice, "It's best not to let tigers out on the streets of the city, so as not to disturb the people."

"Let it stay in the manor. I will send someone to treat it well."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xing instinctively refused, saying, "The moon has never left me; I'm afraid of it..."

"It's alright." Chao Le didn't even turn around, but simply raised her hand. Her smiling voice sent a chill down one's spine. "With me here, it can't go anywhere."

"You have no choice but to obey my orders."

Xie Xing: "..."

Her heart began to beat faster, and her body began to gradually cool down.

Looking at Chao Le's back now, it's almost frightening.

"Jiao'er." Chao Le turned around with a smile, looking at her with a beaming smile: "Aren't you coming over here?"

"I am eager to meet your family."

"I am curious, what kind of family could raise such an outstanding girl as you?"

Xie Xing: "..."

The more he said that, the colder Xie Xing felt.

not simple…

He is not simple.

Xie Xing forced a smile. "Here you are, Your Highness."

As she was leaving, she turned and glanced at the moon, then reached out and stroked its fur to soothe it and prevent it from going berserk later.

She was ultimately too weak.

Before these powerful people, we are as weak as ants, trampled on at will, and even have to try our best to please them in order to survive.

Xie Xing was lost and confused.

If we're lucky, we'll give birth this time.

If you're unlucky, you'll die.

It's really sad.

Xie Xing followed Chao Le out the door.

The long street was more crowded during the day than at night, but there were also many guards and soldiers coming and going.

Xie Xing followed behind Chao Le and saw the soldiers distributing alms at the city gate and the refugees queuing to receive porridge.

Although these refugees were dressed in coarse linen and their bowls were not of high quality, they were still much luckier than the people at the gates of Shengjing.

At least there's food to eat, at least there's life...

Xie Xing looked down and lowered his eyes.

She couldn't find a solution in a short time, maybe... she couldn't live... hmm?

The moment the thought crossed Xie Xing's mind, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
