Wan Ge gently patted his head and answered softly, "Sister is fine, why would you ask that?"
Meng Yuzhou looked at the person in front of him and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Someone saw you with the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince. They said you had a disagreement with the Crown Prince, and I'm worried about you."
"It's nothing, there was just a misunderstanding."
"Sister, you always say this whenever something happens." Meng Yuzhou lowered her head, her tone inevitably tinged with grievance.
Children in this era tend to mature early. Although Meng Yuzhou was pampered by his family, he was not the kind of person who would be spoiled. On the contrary, because he felt loved by everyone around him, he wanted to grow up so that he could protect his family and those who truly loved him and whom he also wanted to cherish.
"It's really okay." Wan Ge couldn't tell the person in front of her, "Could it be that your sister's lifespan was already over, and the Crown Prince realized that I am not your sister and that's why he's angry?"
Meng Yuzhou was actually worried because the Crown Prince in her memory had always been gentle and polite, and he was especially fond of her sister, treating her like a biological brother.
But the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince got angry this time means that the matter must be very serious, otherwise the Crown Prince would not be so angry.
Meng Yuzhou couldn't understand why the Crown Prince was so angry with her sister. Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind: "Is it because of His Highness the Ninth Prince that the Crown Prince is angry with you, sister!"
Meng Yuzhou was also a little angry. He looked up at Wan Ge and said in a serious tone, "Don't get so close to the Ninth Prince. I know you feel sorry for him because you think he's pitiful, but His Majesty has already seen him. His Majesty will not let him suffer any more. So don't get involved in his affairs anymore."
At first, Meng Yuzhou was willing to let his sister take care of the Ninth Prince at the academy. They were children of the same age, and he sympathized with the Ninth Prince because of what had happened to him. However, if the Ninth Prince affected his sister, he would have to consider whether he could continue to help him.
Wan Ge could see through his thoughts, and immediately waved her hand and shook her head: "No, it has nothing to do with him, really, why would your sister lie to you? It's all a misunderstanding, it'll be fine once it's cleared up."
Meng Yuzhou remained skeptical. Well, although he was a mature young man, he was still a child after all, and there were many complicated things he didn't understand.
Since her sister had told her so earnestly, he would trust her one more time.
"real?"
"real."
Wan Ge gave her younger brother another portion of pastries and some winter clothes that she had prepared, gave him a few more instructions, and then left the Imperial College.
…
The next day at noon, Wan Ge saw the Crown Prince in the top-tier room. He must have been waiting for her for a while.
Wan Ge first obediently bowed before sitting down in front of him.
The crown prince couldn't wait any longer. Looking at the person in front of him, he immediately said, "Speak plainly, who exactly are you? Where is my sister Ge'er?"
"I have heard that the Crown Prince does not believe in ghosts and gods."
"So what if I am? Are you going to say that you're some wandering ghost who's possessed my sister Ge'er's body?"
“Your Highness is half right.” Wan Ge took a sip of the tea in front of her, and continued speaking as she put down the teacup.
"It's true that I've taken over this body, but I'm not a wandering ghost; I'm a ghost messenger from the underworld."
The crown prince gave him a cold look, his eyes seeming to say: Do you think I would believe that?
Wan Ge continued, "Your Highness, don't be so quick to doubt."
Wan Ge rolled up her sleeve, revealing a scar on her arm: "This is from when Miss Meng was five years old, when she accidentally bumped into the water with the Crown Prince in the Imperial Garden. The wound was quite deep at the time, so much so that the scar is still there now."
Besides, in September of the same year, His Highness climbed a tree to pick pomegranates for Miss Meng, but accidentally fell and broke his leg. He hid it for several days, but it was eventually discovered because the pain became unbearable. However, you never told anyone how you got injured.
The Crown Prince wasn't surprised by the first point, as it wasn't a secret. If he really wanted to pretend to be his sister Ge'er, then knowing this information would be perfectly normal.
But the latter part is something only the two of them know. To this day, the Emperor still occasionally teases him about it, saying that he doesn't know if he was injured because of some young girl back then, and he still won't say.
In fact, the Emperor's guess was right; he was injured because of a little girl. However, they did not know that this little girl was the extremely obedient and sensible eldest daughter of the Meng family in their memory.
How do you know all this?
Upon hearing this question, Wan Ge continued, "I've already said that I'm a ghost messenger from the underworld. I know everything about her life. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, please feel free to ask. Even things that only the two of you know."
The crown prince had already believed it in his heart, but to be on the safe side, he still asked a lot of questions that only the two of them knew, and he even thought that the other party would forget them.
After all, I was so young back then, how could the other person possibly remember?
As it turned out, Wan Ge actually answered all the questions correctly.
The prince asked again, "Since you say you are a ghost messenger, you must know magic, right?"
Looking at the person in front of her, Wan Ge replied, "We cannot use magic in the human world. If you want me to use this to prove myself, then I can only say I'm sorry, I cannot use magic."
Hearing her say that, the Crown Prince didn't let her continue using magic, and then asked, "So where exactly did Sister Ge'er go? And what do you want to do now that you've taken over her body?"
Wan Ge sighed softly and replied, "To protect someone."
The moment she uttered those words, the Crown Prince instantly thought of Chu Yue Zhao: "You came for Ninth Brother? Then why did you take over Ge'er's body?"
Wan Ge continued, "Actually, Miss Meng's lifespan has ended, which is why I possessed her body and came here."
"Impossible!" The crown prince stood up abruptly and shook his head to show that he did not believe what she said.
How could that be? His little sister, Ge'er, is still so young, how could she have already died? He must be lying!
Wan Ge sighed: "What I said is true. Otherwise, I could not enter someone else's body at will. Only when her lifespan has ended can I be resurrected."
The crown prince turned pale and collapsed to the ground, shaking his head in disbelief.
"You must be lying to me, right? You must be lying to me, I don't believe you!"
