System: Huh? No way!
Ming Li's face darkened, and her voice, chillingly, reminded, "Oh, really? Then scan that so-called Crown Prince again."
A cold wind blew behind the system, and it instantly vanished. "Understood! Host, I'll be back soon, wait for me!"
With that, it shot off towards Yue Yixing's direction. Ming Li followed with her gaze and immediately saw a chrysanthemum flying in the air…
Ming Li: ...The system is acting up again... Well, it's her fault.
The system swiftly flew into Yue Yixing's room and scanned him.
Three seconds later, the system was shocked, utterly stunned!
ヽ(ຶ▮ຶ)ﾉ!!!
Holy cow!
The system seriously suspected its scanning system had malfunctioned, so it quickly checked and scanned Yue Yixing again. kAnshuWu.ξà
System: ...Good heavens, this guy has been reborn?! No! It must quickly inform the Host!
With that thought, the system zipped away.
Two minutes later.
"Host, Host, something's wrong! I just scanned him and found out that Yue Yixing has been reborn!"
The system, wagging its pig tail, rushed to Ming Li's side. When it looked up, it met Ming Li's expressionless face.
The system's chrysanthemum tightened. It smiled obsequiously, "Ha... Haha, Host, what's wrong?"
Ming Li's expression was placid. She picked up the tea on the table, about to take a sip, but paused as it neared her lips. Thinking of the tea she had drunk all day, Ming Li furrowed her brow slightly, placed the teacup back on the table, and said nothing.
In the quiet atmosphere, the system became even more nervous.
A gulp echoed, the sound of the system swallowing.
After a long while, Ming Li finally spoke, "Alright, this seat knows."
Upon hearing this, the system breathed a sigh of relief, quickly retreated to the system space, took out a chicken leg, and began to gnaw on it.
Mm, gnawing on a chicken leg to calm its nerves.
Deep night had fallen. The moon, bitten by something, hung high in the sky. The chirping of insects echoed from outside the window.
Ming Li took a sip of the peach blossom wine, her eyes narrowing. Her sharp gaze swept towards a certain corner.
There, Yue Yixing's figure flashed by.
In the space, the system reminded, "Host, Yue Yixing is outside."
"Mm, I know."
System: "He's gone."
Ming Li: "I know."
System: "...Suddenly I feel so redundant... What should I do? My heart aches..."

Yue Yixing, back in his own room, raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Prince Yu to be so alert; he almost got discovered.
Thinking this, Yue Yixing lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. In the darkness, the corners of his mouth curved into a slight arc.
He recalled that Prince Yu had seemed to die a rather tragic death in his previous life… So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend…
But… Sister belongs to him! She can only belong to him!
…
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Prince Yu's manor was in chaos, all because of Yue Yixing.
At Qin Yu's door, Yue Yixing was being blocked by several maids and old women.
"Esteemed guest, this is our Wangfei's room. You cannot enter."
Yue Yixing: "You get out of the way. I need to find Sister!"
Maids and old women: ...
The maids and old women exchanged glances and nodded. One of the maids, taking advantage of Yue Yixing's distraction, ran off to find Ming Li.
