My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

The originally faintly lit sky gradually became blanketed with soft orange and pale yellow glows, and the clouds began to emit a faint light.

The gentle breeze of the early morning stirred the leaves, rustling them, scattering the morning fog and making the scenery around more distinct.

In a moment, within a side room, Qing Luan quietly pushed open the window, yawned, her eyes bleary with sleep, stretched languorously, and began to fetch water to prepare some toiletries for Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang looked at Qing Luan for a while, then his gaze returned to the Queen of the South Ming.

Smiling, he said, "Auntie, you can go back now."

Upon hearing Cheng Guang's words, the Queen of the South Ming felt a flicker of joy, but also a bit of confusion, "Aren't you going to take this 'Different Treasure'?"

The Queen of the South Ming pulled a jade stone from her bosom.

Inadvertently, she revealed a large expanse of fair skin.

It was apparent that after her personality change, the Queen of the South Ming was both wealthy and generous.

Quite good.

Cheng Guang gave the Queen of the South Ming a thumbs-up.

After admiring her for a moment,

Cheng Guang shook his head.

"No need now, even if I were to take this 'Different Treasure,' it would be of no use at the moment. If the Crown Prince realizes his identity is exposed, he might just hide away in some turtle hole again and be out of reach."

"It's best not to startle the snake by hitting the grass."

Speaking of this, Cheng Guang's gaze fell upon the Queen of the South Ming, and smiling, he said, "Speaking of which, Auntie, you should be on my side now, right?"

"You know what to say about the King of South Ming, don't you?"

"You ought to visit your nephew frequently and not suddenly disappear. Otherwise, I would miss Auntie, and even if I have to turn the Great Zhou Dynasty upside down, I will find you."

"Of course, if Auntie escapes back to the Ten-Layered Demon Sea, then naturally, I never said a word."

As Cheng Guang spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a profound implication.

The Queen of the South Ming felt immense pressure just from Cheng Guang's look.

At the same time, upon hearing Cheng Guang utter the words "Ten-Layered Demon Sea,"

Her fair, picturesque face momentarily froze.

How did the Town-Nation Duke's Heir know about the Ten-Layered Demon Sea?

She had not told Cheng Guang before that she came from the Ten-Layered Demon Sea!?

The Queen of the South Ming looked at Cheng Guang dumbfounded for a while, observing his indifferent expression and the meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

A few fine beads of sweat involuntarily formed on her forehead.

She secretly bit her silver teeth and glared at Cheng Guang.

Quickly, she pulled out something that looked like a compass from her hand.

In a single breath's time,

The delicate figure of the Queen of the South Ming vanished in an instant.

After the disappearance of the Queen of the South Ming, Cheng Guang slowly stood up and stretched.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Qing Luan walked in at a leisurely pace, her hands carrying a delicate porcelain vessel filled with warm water.

Just about to call Cheng Guang to rise, she entered the room and found Cheng Guang already sitting by the desk, looking at her with a smiling gaze.

Qing Luan was surprised.

"Princely Heir, you're already awake?"

"You're up early today."

As she spoke, Qing Luan put down the toiletries she had brought, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to tidy up the bed when she suddenly noticed that besides her own arrangement of floral fragrance, there was an additional scent in the Princely Heir's bedroom.

That scent...

It was different from her own fragrance and also different from the bedroom's floral aroma...

Instead, it was another woman's scent...

Not the lady's, nor her own, nor any other maid in the courtyard...

It was more like the Princess's scent.

The pretty eyebrows of Qing Luan knit slightly, as she looked at the noble Princely Heir beside her with some suspicion.

"Princely Heir, did the Princess just visit?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Cheng Guang's face became somewhat stiff.

"No."

"Princely Heir is lying!"

"Cough cough..."

Cheng Guang was caught off guard.

I didn't even manage to keep it a secret for a second.

Feeling choked up, he couldn't help but cough awkwardly.

It must be said, women are indeed exceptionally vigilant in these matters.
