Chapter 549 I'll tell you a huge secret
The Grand Secretary's residence, outside the back gate of the courtyard wall.
Mo Ji looked at Xiao Qingyuan nervously: "Master, this is not some small family like the Chu family. This is the residence of a Grand Secretary of the First Rank! You can easily break into the Chu family's house, but this Grand Secretary's residence... maybe we should just forget about it!"
Xiao Qingyuan glared at him: "So what if it's the Grand Secretary's residence? In my eyes, there's no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly! Whether it's the Chu family or the Liu family, I'll still turn them upside down!"
"No, I'm just afraid that if you climb over the wall, the guards of the Grand Secretary's mansion will beat you out!"
"What do you know? The Grand Secretary's residence isn't as scary as you think. Do you think this is our Prince's residence? There aren't many guards in the Grand Secretary's residence at all, because Grand Secretary Liu also thinks that no one would dare to climb over the wall to get in."
"You can't just go in like that, it'll frighten Miss Liu."
Mo Ji grabbed his arm and pleaded, "Master, please go through the main gate. You are the heir of the Prince's Mansion. If you go through the proper channels to see Grand Secretary Liu and Madam Liu, they will definitely let you in."
"No, that would be too slow, and Madam Liu might not agree to let me see Nan Shi."
Xiao Qingyuan pulled away from Mo Ji's hand and pressed him down: "Squat properly, don't shake. I'll step on your shoulders to get up. If you drop me, you'll be sorry!"
Having no other choice, Mo Ji had to squat down with a bitter face. After Xiao Qingyuan stepped onto his shoulders, he used all his strength to stand up and lift Xiao Qingyuan up.
Xiao Qingyuan climbed over the high wall and walked familiarly into Liu Nanshi's courtyard.
Along the way, he easily avoided several guards, maids, and servants, and was not noticed by anyone.
This was all thanks to how he frequently climbed over the wall to find Liu Nanshi in his previous life; he was already very familiar with the route.
Then, he climbed over the wall and entered Liu Nanshi's courtyard.
As soon as he landed, a maidservant screamed, "Ah! Thief! Help!"
Xiao Qingyuan delivered a swift chop to the neck, knocking the maid unconscious.
Then several more maids rushed out, and he knocked them all unconscious.
Liu Nanshi came out. Through the rain, she didn't panic like the maids, nor did she scream. She just looked at Xiao Qingyuan with shock: "Young Master Xiao? Why did you break into my courtyard at night?"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with admiration, his tone filled with affection: "Nan Shi, you truly live up to your reputation as the daughter of a high-ranking official. You remain calm and composed in the face of adversity."
Liu Nanshi's expression turned cold: "Your Highness flatters me, but you haven't answered my question yet. Why did you break into my courtyard at night and knock out my maid? Have I offended you?"
Xiao Qingyuan stepped forward, soaked to the bone by the rain, yet his entire being seemed like a blazing flame, fervently saying, "Nan Shi, I've been reborn! Have you been reborn? Do you still remember me? Do you remember our promise? You said you would marry me and become my Crown Princess!"
Liu Nanshi's face grew even colder: "What nonsense are you spouting, Your Highness? I have met Your Highness a few times, but we have no relationship whatsoever, let alone any agreement!"
Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback: "You didn't reincarnate? You've forgotten everything about us? We talked about everything, composed poems and painted together, and even in the palace... you don't remember any of it?"
Liu Nanshi's face showed a hint of anger: "I don't understand what the young master is saying at all. If the young master is ill, go and invite the imperial physician. Don't come here to cause trouble and damage my reputation!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards rushed in, grabbed Xiao Qingyuan, and dragged him out.
Liu Nanshi quickly said, "Just hand him over to my mother. Tell her that this matter should not be blown out of proportion, lest rumors spread outside."
The guards responded and took Xiao Qingyuan away.
Xiao Qingyuan didn't struggle. He just looked back at Liu Nanshi with reluctance and then let out a long sigh.
Why?
Why is he the only one who has the memory?
Shen Wantang didn't have it, Liu Nanshi didn't have it either, neither did they.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky, raindrops pattering on his face, and suddenly it dawned on him—he was the chosen one! He possessed great fortune! Such fortune was something not everyone could have!
He laughed loudly, "Hahaha! As expected, it has to be me! Only I can be reborn, no one else can! I am the genius, I am the most special person in this world! You all must submit to me!"
The guards: "..."
They looked at each other and all shook their heads in unison.
They had long heard that Prince Xiao was not quite right in the head, but they did not expect him to be this abnormal.
He treated even a woman pregnant with an illegitimate child like a treasure, insisting on marrying her despite her own death. When Princess Ning disagreed, he simply became a monk.
Now, for some unknown reason, he suddenly came to the Grand Secretary's residence, wanting their eldest daughter to be his heir's wife.
Mo Ji didn't wait long outside. Soon, Xiao Qingyuan was pushed out of the back door by the guards.
The head guard was very impolite: "Your Highness, please have some self-respect! Such absurdity is utterly despicable! Our lady said that out of respect for the Prince, she will spare you this time, but you must never come again! Otherwise, we'll throw you out!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
Mo Ji hurriedly held the umbrella over Xiao Qingyuan's head and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright? They didn't attack, did they?"
Xiao Qingyuan was completely unaware that he was soaked to the bone. He raised his chin high and strode away, saying, "I am the chosen one. They dare to touch me? They're asking for trouble! Madam Liu is very polite to me, Nan Shi is very polite to me, everyone is very polite to me!"
Mo Ji's eyes widened. "Huh? Really? Does the young master have some misunderstanding about the word 'politeness'? The guards were clearly very rude to him just now!"
As for why the people in the Grand Secretary's Mansion didn't dare to touch him, it wasn't because he was some kind of chosen one, but because his surname was Xiao!
"Master, where are you going? Aren't we going back to the Prince's Mansion? Master, your clothes are completely soaked. If you don't change them soon, you'll catch a cold tomorrow!"
"Han? What Han? Gu Qianhan? Who does he think he is? Don't mention him to me!"
"I didn't mention Young Master Gu, I meant you'll catch a cold! You got caught in the rain, you'll catch a cold!"
"Nonsense! I am the chosen one, how could I possibly catch a cold? Who cares about Gu Qianhan or any other cold, they're all afraid of me! Hahaha!"
Inkjet printer: "..."
He's quite ill!
We must quickly summon the imperial physician to examine the prince!
"Inkjet printer!"
"Master?"
"Go and summon Gu Qianhan and Yuan Zheng to Qingyun Tower. I want to brag to them about my rebirth!"
Having no other choice, Moji had to do as he was told.
Fortunately, Gu Qianhan and Yuan Zheng were very respectful to their master, and soon they entered Qingyun Tower one after the other.
Inside the private room, Xiao Qingyuan's hair and clothes were dripping wet, but he didn't care. He glanced at Gu Qianhan, then at Yuan Zheng, and said arrogantly, "Gu and Yuan, let me tell you a huge secret: I have been reborn!"
