"Your Highness, I haven't had nightmares in a long time. Why did I suddenly dream of such ominous things this time? Could it be a... warning?"
What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. Liu Lingxi hadn't said anything, but the Crown Prince remembered it.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Changfeng was stunned. His body became increasingly stiff, and even a little numb.
warn?
What's the meaning?
Is this trip...very dangerous? Maybe...I might not come back...?
Sheng Changfeng's heart was in turmoil, and he felt completely out of sorts. His hands and feet immediately became stiff.
Unbeknownst to him, the little one in his arms had already keenly sensed something.
Liu Lingxi had just had a nightmare, and being naturally sensitive, she became even more anxious upon sensing the man's physical changes.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The woman's soft, worried voice immediately caught the prince's attention, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Sheng Changfeng lowered his head and met the other person's doe-like eyes, cute, innocent, and pitiful.
The woman seemed worried about something, her small hand gripping the man's sleeve tightly, as if afraid he might be hiding something from her.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about? I'm a little worried about you..."
"Xi'er... could you tell me about that dream again? I want to hear it in more detail."
Sheng Changfeng swallowed hard and slowly spoke.
He tried to keep his voice calm so as not to scare the girl.
Sheng Changfeng softened his tone, but didn't elaborate on why, and dared not reveal his purpose at all.
Little did she know, the woman was very sensitive, and having just had such a nightmare, she couldn't miss the changes in the man at all.
"Your Highness, are you hiding something from me? Has something serious happened recently?"
Liu Lingxi was quite clever; combining the Crown Prince's tone with his sudden stiffening of his body, she guessed it almost immediately.
"Is it... that you really want to go to Jiangnan, just like in my dream, to that... dangerous place?"
At the end, Liu Lingxi paused noticeably, emphasized her words, and became anxious.
She gripped the man's large hand tightly, propped herself up, and tried to break free from his embrace.
However, Sheng Changfeng did not give her a chance to leave his embrace, pressing her tightly into his arms.
He didn't speak, and he was also afraid of meeting the woman's anxious and worried eyes; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist such a gaze.
"Xi'er, we'll talk about this later. Can you tell me about your dream again?"
The man's tone carried a distinct heaviness, clearly indicating that what he was about to do was related to this dream!
The heaviness in Sheng Changfeng's tone startled Liu Lingxi, making her vaguely guess...
Could it be—
Has the crown prince reached the point where he is doomed to die?
No, no, I've been reborn, I've changed the Crown Prince's fate, I won't let him die.
Liu Lingxi's heart sank. She was in a state of turmoil, but she could only suppress her worries and recount what she knew.
"Your Highness, I dreamt that you would be traveling to Jiangnan by boat due to floods in the south and corruption in the officialdom there. At first, everything went smoothly, and you—"
