Cui Yingying wiped away her tears, suppressed her thoughts, raised her head with a forced smile, and said obediently, "Thank you, brother."

Han Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her like this, subconsciously thinking that the little girl had figured it out.

Little did he know that the ignorant girl in his eyes had already begun to plot secretly.

After the night fell and everyone was asleep, Han Liang left without anyone noticing.

After sending everyone away, Cui Yingying sat alone on a low couch, scribbling with a brush, and from time to time she put her hands on her hips and admired her own intelligence.

[You want to escape?] The system popped up at some point, looked at what she wrote and exclaimed, as if its father had died.

Cui Yingying glanced at it with disdain. "We have known each other for such a long time, why are you even more impatient than me? Who said I wanted to escape? I am sacrificing myself for the benefit of everyone else!"

"Don't you see what the situation is now? With my identity, let alone being the Crown Princess, if the truth is revealed, everyone around me will suffer. It's better for me to get away as soon as possible."

"Wait till I find the spy, then run away!"

She looked at the map of Da Chu. It had beautiful mountains and rivers, and the land was vast and rich in resources. One could live anywhere.

However, the system was so anxious that its hair exploded. [No, you can't leave. What will happen to the mission if you leave?]

"Didn't you say it wouldn't affect the mission? And you don't know what the next mission is. According to your current level, you don't know too much. In other words, the scope of this mission actually revolves around me."

"Then is there anything wrong with me changing places?" Cui Yingying asked confidently.

How come this host's IQ suddenly became so high that he could analyze it so thoroughly?

"Why aren't you talking?" Cui Yingying realized that there was no sound, but she didn't look up. Instead, she continued to modify the plan with her hands and asked casually.

The system asked anxiously, "You... don't you like the prince? You don't want him anymore?"

Cui Yingying was stunned and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

He kept his brows lowered and remained silent for a long time.

[Don’t you like him? If you leave like this, he will be sad.] The system saw that it was working and began to persuade him.

We can't let her get away, otherwise that ancestor will destroy himself.

Cui Yingying pursed her lips into a straight line and remained silent.

Also falling into silence was Xiao Su who was in the Prince's Mansion. His hand trembled and the teacup fell to the ground. In an instant, his hands and feet became cold and his face turned frighteningly pale.

"Your Highness..." Wu Xu, who was concentrating on reading a memorial, noticed the noise, looked over quickly, and called out worriedly at his helpless look.

Xiao Su pretended to be calm and shook his hands, saying stiffly: "It's okay."

A huge fear came over him, just like when his mother passed away and Xiyun was taken away by the Queen Mother, leaving him alone in the huge palace.

Is she going to leave him too?

Wu Xu stood up worriedly and watched the man suddenly walk out of the study in dejection as if he had lost all his strength. When he was about to chase him out, he was stopped by a scolding.

"I want to take a walk alone. No one is allowed to follow me." He turned back suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot and ferocious, making people stay away.

Tang Yang was stunned by the yelling. Wasn't he fine just now? What on earth happened in just a moment?

Xiao Su staggered and disappeared in the long corridor, with murderous intent in his eyes that could not be concealed. His mind kept reappearing the smug smile the Queen Mother had shown him in his childhood and the words she had said when she was conspiring with others.

"You follow His Highness, I'll go to the Grand Prince!" Tang Yang came to his senses and suddenly seemed to remember something. He grabbed Wu Xu and hurriedly said something, then rode his horse at full speed and headed straight for the Grand Prince's mansion.

Wu Xu didn't understand what was going on, so he had to follow carefully.
