The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Yuxi nodded obediently.

She refused to eat any of the food the young prince brought!

I wouldn't eat it even if it tasted delicious!

Mu Yunchao nodded in satisfaction. In his previous life, he was already annoyed enough by Song Ci always following Yu Xi around.

I don't know what the emperor was thinking, but he made a neglectful prince who had been abandoned in the capital in his previous life the crown prince.

That makes sense, though. The royal family was either dead or crippled, and only Song Ci escaped because he was still young and his maternal family was useless.

Indeed, he was the only one who could be made crown prince.

Xixi is still young, so we must nip any threats in the bud.

He must have liked Xixi in his past life, and he will definitely like her in this life as well.

We need to find a way to transfer him away.

At night, Xiao Yuxi quietly climbed out of the window while the maid was fast asleep.

Xiao Xian looked at the little girl who had appeared in his room with some shock, and quickly put on an outer robe and lit a candle.

Little Yu Xi peeked out the window and saw that there was no one there, before whispering to her brother Xiao Xian, "Brother Xiao Xian, could you take Xi Xi out of the manor?"

Xiao Xian was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind, but he quickly understood the little girl's intention.

Yesterday, this little fellow asked him to pass on a note to General Ning. Out of curiosity, he opened it and took a look. It arranged the time and place for tonight's meeting and contained some words that he couldn't understand.

The handwriting on that note was clearly not from the little girl. He had personally taught her calligraphy, and he was very familiar with her handwriting.

Therefore, someone must have used the little girl to pass on the message.

However, it seems that the little girl also wants to join in the fun?

"Are you going to the Yuanxin Pavilion?"

Xiao Yuxi looked at Brother Xiao Xian in amazement. "Wow, he's amazing! How could he guess that?"

Xiao Yuxi nodded, her eyes sparkling.

She knew that no one else would agree to let her go out at night.

Only Brother Xiao Xian would agree, and he would even go with her.

She was actually a little afraid of the dark night, but she was very worried about her third sister's condition.

She had already fallen asleep, but suddenly had a nightmare and was awakened. An ominous premonition kept rising in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling was so strong that she couldn't sleep at all, so she came to ask Brother Xiao Xian to take her to find her Third Sister.

Xiao Xian quickly put on his clothes, and seeing that Xiao Yuxi wasn't wearing a cloak, he draped the only cloak that Aunt Fengyue had given him over her shoulders.

Only then did they sneak out of the Mu residence with Xiao Yuxi in their arms.

It was already late at night, and the Moon Kingdom had a curfew, so the streets were deserted.

Xiao Xian held Xiao Yuxi's hand tightly, and seeing the little girl's somewhat frightened expression, he gently patted her back.

"Don't be afraid."

Xiao Yuxi clung to Xiao Xian's arm and followed him step by step.

After they had walked some distance apart, Xiao Xian led her behind a tree and pointed to Mu Siliao, who was sitting in the pavilion in the distance.

Xiao Yuxi's eyes brightened slightly. She imitated her brother Xiao Xian, hiding herself and peeking out to look at her third sister in the pavilion.

Xiao Xian found it strange that the third daughter of the Mu family would be sitting here so late at night, and even wanted to meet General Ning.

Does he remember that General Ning was Mu Yunnan's subordinate? Isn't it extremely impolite to arrange a private meeting with General Ning?

After standing there for a while, just as Xiao Xian was thinking of finding a stone for Xiao Yuxi to sit on, several people suddenly walked over from a distance.

Xiao Yuxi looked at the back of the person in the lead and felt a little strange.

She had met General Ning before; General Ning was much stronger than this man, and the man was also somewhat lame.

He doesn't resemble General Ning at all.

When Musiliao saw the person who had arrived, she was terrified and retreated repeatedly until she stopped when her body was pressed against a pillar in the pavilion.

"Young Master Yan, how... how did you get here?" Mu Siliao's voice trembled as she stared in terror at Young Master Yan and the two servants behind him.

Yan Shizi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile, as if he had anticipated Mu Siliao's reaction. He sat down without any hesitation.

"What? Don't you want to see me? Or do you want to see your beloved Ning Zhi more?" Prince Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze roaming freely over Mu Siliao.

Upon hearing this, Musiliao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why... how do you know Ning Zhi?" Her voice grew weaker and weaker, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Me?" Prince Yan chuckled teasingly, leaning forward slightly. "Why don't you ask your lover, Ning Zhi?"

"I have absolutely no romantic relationship with General Ning..." Mu Siliao's voice trembled with fear as she desperately tried to find a way to escape, but wherever she looked, the only way out was firmly blocked by Yan Shizi's personal servant.

"Oh? No affair? Meeting here in the dead of night, if word gets out, who in the world would believe it? Miss Mu, do you think that since I can't give you the position of Crown Prince's wife, you can just dream of becoming the General's wife?" Prince Yan's hand slowly slid across Mu Siliao's delicate and smooth face, a hint of mockery in the depths of his eyes.

"I really didn't..." Mu Siliao trembled all over, trying her best to avoid Yan Shizi's touch, her eyes filled with tears, gazing at him pitifully.

Prince Yan had always been captivated by her weak, helpless, and submissive demeanor. Seeing her tearful expression, his smile grew even brighter, and he said softly, "Then why don't you tell me why you rejected my feelings?"

“Young Master Yan, you are of noble birth, while I am merely the daughter of a concubine. We are worlds apart. Why do you have to force me so hard? I only wish to find an ordinary family and live a peaceful and stable life. Is that so wrong?” Mu Siliao looked at Young Master Yan with tears in her eyes.

"An ordinary family? A peaceful and stable life? Miss Mu, your so-called ordinary family must have been carefully selected, right? General Ning is a very influential person in the capital. I know exactly what you're up to."

"Isn't it just that you're eyeing the position of the General's wife? It's a pity that your affections are unrequited; General Ning probably doesn't even look at you." Yan Shizi's lips curled into a half-smile as he spoke, bringing his mouth close to Mu Siliao's ear, his warm breath spraying all over her sensitive ear, like a cunning fox toying with its prey.

A flash of resentment crossed Musiliao's eyes, but fear and helplessness filled her even more. Trembling, she retreated step by step, only to find herself with nowhere to run. In the end, she was forced by Prince Yan to press herself against the cold stone pillar.

"Tell me, if I were to take you right here, would your Mu family send you to the Yan family the very next day?" The Yan prince gently lifted Mu Siliao's chin with his fingers, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
