My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

If Cheng Guang were to reveal this matter, even if she could guarantee not to expose that the King of South Ming was actually the Princely Heir, it wouldn't be particularly easy to deal with.

At the very least, it would give her a headache for a while.

Yet at this moment, not only had Cheng Guang not made any fuss, he had actually come over early in the morning, saying he greatly admired the Princely Heir.

Could it be...

Did Cheng Guang truly admire the Princely Heir and wish to join their cause?

The Queen of the South Ming couldn't help but think this absurd thought once again.

She chuckled and shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it. With graceful steps, she followed Cheng Guang into the dark passage.

Walking through the narrow and dark corridor, at the end of the passage was a stone door that seemed ordinary.

Cheng Guang stopped in front of the stone door, examining it.

"Aunt, what treasures are so precious here? With hidden passages and stone doors, are all these really necessary?"

The Queen of the South Ming didn't reply, but stepped past Cheng Guang. With one hand, she gently felt the surface of the stone door, searching for the mechanism to open it. She quickly found the mechanism and pushed hard. The stone door slowly began to open.

As the stone door opened wider, light gradually seeped out, revealing a hidden chamber to Cheng Guang.

The light inside the chamber was dim, but still enough to show that books and scrolls were placed everywhere. The air was filled with an old smell, mixed with a faint fragrance of ink.

The Queen of the South Ming entered the hidden chamber and pulled out from a corner a sparkling and translucent item, resembling a crystal ball, and raised it up slowly.

The crystal ball began to float in the air, bobbing up and down as if submerged in water.

The light flickered slightly as if it was connecting to something.

After a moment, the light from the crystal ball became brighter, and a voice resonated in the silent chamber.

"Hmm?"

The voice coming from the opposite side of the crystal ball was somewhat muffled and hoarse.

"What's happened for you to contact me all of a sudden?"

The Queen of the South Ming stepped forward, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Cheng Guang and onto the crystal ball, she said, "There's a bit of an issue, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir, knows your identity."

"Hmm?" The person on the other side was clearly startled, very surprised, and was silent for a time.

"Knows my identity? What identity?"

The Queen of the South Ming said, "The identity of the Crown Prince, what else could it be?"

The person fell silent, seemingly pondering what the Queen of the South Ming meant by her words.

After a while, they finally asked, "How did he find out my identity?"

The Queen of the South Ming shook her head: "I don't know."

The person fell silent again for a moment.

The air went still.

Another moment passed.

The person tentatively asked:

"Can he be killed?"

"The Town-Nation Duke's Heir isn't easy to kill," the Queen of the South Ming replied indifferently.

Cheng Guang felt a bit awkward standing by, listening as the Queen of the South Ming spoke with the Princely Heir they were talking about, discussing the matter of killing him with no regard for secrecy, creating within him a sense of dislocation.

"Let's not talk of killing. I've come to join your side," Cheng Guang spoke up.

The person on the other side of the crystal ball was taken aback again.

"There's someone else?"

The Queen of the South Ming gave a soft "Hmm" in acknowledgment.

"Who is it?"

The Queen of the South Ming's beautiful eyes glanced at Cheng Guang, who was looking somewhat cynical, "It's the Town-Nation Duke's Heir I just mentioned, the one not easy to kill."

As soon as the Queen of the South Ming spoke.

The person on the other side fell into a profound silence.

The CPU almost burned out.

The air seemed to solidify, once again plunging into a silent and dead stillness.

Quite a while later.

The person spoke again.

"How is he with you?"

"Just handle it directly, kill him, or use your Divine Secret Skill to control his mind," the person suggested.

The Queen of the South Ming let out a helpless sigh; her noble face showed signs of weariness.

She would have liked to do as the person suggested.

But.

That was not possible.

She simply couldn't deal with Cheng Guang; to forcibly make a move would be to doom them both.

So, without further explanation, the Queen of the South Ming said, "I can't touch him for now. This Town-Nation Duke's Heir is not so simple. He said he greatly admires you and wants to join you. What do you say?"

The person remained silent.

After hearing the Queen of the South Ming's words, it seemed to them that their entire world view was becoming somewhat disordered.

"What are you saying? He admires me? Wants to join me?"

"Him, a Town-Nation Duke's Heir, admires me?"

"Is he sick in the head?"

The questions came in rapid succession, as if not to suggest that Cheng Guang was mad but rather they were for believing Cheng Guang's words.

At this time, the Queen of the South Ming did not speak again.

She remained silent.

Honestly, she didn't believe Cheng Guang's words either, but she couldn't come up with any other reason why he would admire the Princely Heir or, risking the danger of treason, actively seek to join the Princely Heir's side.

All of it was too illogical.

So much so that as long as one could incidentally think of a reason, this matter could gradually become reasonable.

At this point, Cheng Guang could no longer stay quiet, "Crown Prince, I'm still listening. Do you not care about how I feel?"

"I've come here sincerely to join you."

After Cheng Guang's words were spoken, from the other side of the crystal ball, not a sound came out.

Only breathing that progressively grew heavier could be heard.

Time slowly passed.

"With what will you join me?" the person couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Guang, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh, "What does His Highness the Crown Prince want me to use to join? Do you need some kind of declaration of allegiance or something?"

The person on the other side pondered for a moment, then suddenly felt a toothache.

If Cheng Guang really could join them, it would indeed be like a dream start— the Town-Nation Duke's Heir was worth courting at any time.
