Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with sighs.

They were torn between sympathizing with the princess who was actually a princess but could only serve as a bodyguard, or with the prince who should have been the heir to the throne but could only disguise himself as a woman to marry into the Northern Xuan kingdom.

Princess Chiyue's expression turned solemn as she stood up and bowed, saying, "This matter concerns the lives and fortunes of the entire Chiyue family, and we entrust it all to you gentlemen. We hope you will protect Chiyue's secret."

"I'm just curious, aren't you afraid of being exposed for impersonating a princess and coming to Beixuan for a political marriage?"

Chi Yue paused, then looked at the Crown Prince with a somber expression: "I heard that the Crown Prince of Bei Xuan is in poor health, but... I still have some ways to fool him."

"Ha!" The prince sneered.

Chi Yue immediately bowed his head and apologized: "Chi Yue was arrogant in this matter. Chi Yue never expected His Highness the Crown Prince of Bei Xuan to be so wise."

The Crown Prince chuckled, "Perfect, I'll be frank with you. Given your status, it's best if you don't pursue the path of political marriage."

Chi Yue said, "If I had no other choice, I would not have wanted to risk my life. After that, I begged His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Anguo to help me delay for a while."

Once Akane has finished what she wants to do, she will resolve the matter of the arranged marriage.

"You have other purposes for coming to Beixuan?" The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes slightly.

"To be honest, Chi Yue came to Bei Xuan to avoid my grandfather's suspicions and to ensure the safety of my whole family."

Some time ago, someone in the Xilin court suggested that I give birth to a child with the bloodline of the Xilin royal family. With my orange eyes, I might be able to give birth to an heir with the same orange eyes.

My grandfather was originally tolerant of me and even bestowed upon me the title of princess, but after hearing this, he harbored murderous intent towards me.

My coming to Beixuan for a marriage alliance also put an end to the court's plans and dissuaded my grandfather from murderous intent.

I originally intended to simply arrange a marriage alliance with the Crown Prince of Beixuan to win his support and help me seize the throne of Xilin. But now it seems... Chiyue was being far too simplistic."

His original plan was very meticulous.

However, he did not expect that Bei Xuan was completely different from what he knew.

He never expected that Bei Xuan would receive the inheritance of the ancient kingdom's Silver Scale Guard.

Even more unexpectedly, Beixuan produced a prince born under the Ziwei Star, and a future crown princess who would bring good fortune to the world.

Even more unexpectedly, an eight-year-old child immediately recognized him.

All these unexpected events caught him off guard.

Just as the Crown Prince was about to agree, Shangguan Sheng said, "But you just wanted to go into my sister's room and sleep in the same bed with her."

The crown prince's expression changed instantly.

Chi Yao: "!"

Chi Yue looked at Shangguan Sheng in shock. Was this child his nemesis?

Ying Yufu nodded, a suspicious look on her face: "Oh right, you're clearly a man, yet you just wanted to sleep with me. What were you planning?"

Chi Yue hurriedly explained, "Chi Yue did indeed want to get close to Princess Anguo to curry favor with you and gain your help, but I swear, I absolutely had no frivolous intentions, absolutely not!"

Ying Yufu nodded. "I doubt you'd dare!"

Crown Prince: "Hmph, in short, you made mistakes you shouldn't have made, but fortunately, they didn't escalate into something serious."

Fortunately, he wasn't worried about Chi Yue taking advantage of Fu'er; what he was worried about was Fu'er treating him this way or that because he was good-looking.

Wasn't it in the carriage last time that he did this and that to me?

Later, he almost suspected that Fu'er had been using him like a cat.

The crown prince was deeply saddened and indignant.

Fu'er truly brought him both pain and pleasure.

Chi Yue confessed sincerely, "Your Highness and Princess Anguo, please don't take this to heart. I have absolutely no other thoughts about Princess Anguo."

"That's good. Fu'er is not someone you can covet. Stay away from Fu'er in the future, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness Crown Prince of Beixuan. I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave."

Chiyue wisely left, letting out a sigh of relief.

Judging from their attitude, they intend to keep his secret.

However, he then looked at Shangguan Sheng, "Chiyue is still curious, how did you know my identity, young master?"

Shangguan Sheng looked at him and said seriously, "I said, I was born with knowledge."

Is it truly innate knowledge?

Chi Yue left with a complicated expression and a solemn look on her face.

After Chi Yue left, Ying Yu Fu and the Crown Prince both looked at Shangguan Sheng.

"Born with knowledge?" This was the first time the two had asked Shangguan Sheng such a question.

Shangguan Sheng looked at the two of them, sighed inwardly, and said, "I have memories of my past life."

Ying Yufu thought to herself, "As expected," but still pretended to be surprised.

Shangguan Sheng glanced at her: "Sister, stop pretending, you knew all along."

Ying Yufu's surprise vanished, replaced by astonishment. "How did you know I already knew?" she asked.

Shangguan Sheng said quietly, "I guessed."

Ying Yufu's face darkened. Hey, this kid!

The crown prince's expression brightened. "My holy child, do you really have memories of your past life? Then tell me about it!"

Shangguan Sheng looked at him with pity. "Does Your Highness really want to hear this?"

The crown prince nodded vigorously, "I want to hear it, I want to hear it."

Shangguan Sheng then said directly: "In the previous life, His Majesty died on New Year's Eve. His Highness the Crown Prince was accused of plotting against His Majesty and led troops in rebellion. The Second Prince led his generals to clear the name of the Crown Prince, killed all the Crown Princes, and ascended the throne himself."

Later, the female general of the Snow Phoenix Army led the Snow Phoenix Army in another rebellion, which almost succeeded, but was defeated by the Second Prince's superior numbers and was executed, and the Snow Phoenix Army was completely wiped out.

Later, the kingdoms of Dongchen, Nanman, and Xilin experienced successive coups. The Holy Son of Nanman, in alliance with the new emperors of Dongchen and Xilin, launched a joint attack on Beixuan. The new emperor and empress of Beixuan were executed, and the third prince ascended the throne, becoming the ultimate victor.

The prince's eyes were somewhat dazed.

"If it weren't for Fu'er and the divine artifact, everything from the previous life might have repeated itself."

The crown prince's voice trembled slightly.

Shangguan Shengdao said, "Perhaps not. I came with my memories, and I will definitely protect my family."

If the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion hadn't been destroyed, Bei Xuan might have had a different ending; at the very least, Cang Mingze wouldn't have ascended the throne.

"Forget about that. Everyone's fate has changed in this life. Saint, you know Chi Yue so well, did you know him in a past life?"

The Crown Prince changed the subject.

Shangguan Shengdao said, "The Emperor of Xilin is muddleheaded and cruel. Out of fear of death, he obtained some evil magic from who knows where and used the blood of his own son and grandson to refine longevity pills."

Unable to endure the torture any longer, Chi Yue killed the old emperor of Xilin and ascended the throne.

"At that time, as the Holy Son of the Southern Barbarians and the successor of the Witch Ancestor, I cooperated with him to discuss attacking the Northern Xuan to avenge my family."

"Emperor Xilin's obsession with immortality has reached the point of madness. Now that my sister has been able to regenerate my grandfather's severed arm, this matter has probably caught his attention."

Ying Huanchong, also known as the Grand Preceptor of Xilin, returned to Beixuan this time probably on the secret orders of the Xilin Emperor to find out the secret that could regenerate his maternal grandfather's severed arm.

Now, Ying Huanpang has probably already relayed this news back to Xilin, and the Xilin emperor has his eye on my sister.

[Ding! The face-slapping mechanism has been triggered. Host, please help Chiyue ascend the throne of Xilin. The mission has a one-year time limit.]

Ying Yufu was stunned. She hadn't expected to receive a task from the system, especially one with a time limit.
