The guard looked cold and showed no mercy at all, and scolded Jiang Mengyue to leave.
Jiang Mengyue spent a lot of money to finally get here, and she was just a hair away from meeting His Highness the Crown Prince. How could she be willing to do so? She had to see His Highness the Crown Prince today.
"Please tell your master that I have something important to tell him."
She stood still, even with the knife pressed against her neck, she didn't move even an inch.
The man still standing under the corridor turned his head, glanced at her, found it interesting, and waved his hand for her to come forward.
The guard then put away the knife and let Jiang Mengyue pass.
Jiang Mengyue walked up to the prince and nodded towards him, "Sir."
The prince glanced at her, but it was just a glance without any meaning. Although she was beautiful, he was not very attracted to beautiful women after seeing them too many times.
"I heard that you have something important to tell me?"
"Yes." Jiang Mengyue nodded.
The prince raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly cold, "You have to know that disturbing my drinking is a very serious crime. It's best to say something useful, otherwise you won't be able to walk out of this door."
The prince didn't take her seriously at all, and her appearance was of no use.
Her clothes seemed to be of extraordinary value, but the presence of a woman in such an elegant place could explain something.
She looked like a woman who wanted to cling to the powerful, or she had some purpose.
No matter which one she is, it is just a plaything to relieve boredom.
Jiang Mengyue noticed the coldness in the prince's words, and did not flinch or feel scared. After the experience in the dream, she had long regarded herself as the future fourth princess.
He took a step closer to the prince and whispered, "Your Highness."
The prince's face darkened, but he kept smiling, "It seems you already know my identity."
"Tell me, who are you and what do you want to say."
The prince's words were full of coldness. As long as the person in front of him say something slightly unsatisfactory, he would order to deal with it without mercy. Jiang Mengyue's life was hanging by a thread now.
"Your Highness, this girl is a daughter who was kicked out by the Marquis residence. She was left in the villa without care. I went to go through all kinds of hardships to escape and wanted to help His Highness the Crown prince."
Jiang Mengyue did not hide anything and revealed her identity.
Even if she didn't say anything, the prince would investigate thoroughly. It would be better if she said it herself, which would make the prince more convinced of her.
"Marquis residence?" The prince narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Exactly, to be honest, I was mistakenly brought home and is a fake daughter. After the real daughter of the Marquis family was found, the Marquis sent me to the village." When Jiang Mengyue said it, her tone was angry and full of grievances.
Put all the blame on the Marquis Mansion, saying that the Marquis Mansion is ruthless and unjust.
The Crown prince looked at her with interest. This news was quite new. The daughter that the Marquis family had raised for more than ten years turned out to be a fake daughter.
"Do you want me to find justice for you?"
"No." Jiang Mengyue shook her head, "I don't dare to trouble His Highness... I just want to stay with His Highness and be His Highness' help."
"Help? Hoho." The prince sneered, "What kind of help can you be to me? There is no shortage of beauties around me, but you are not enough to catch my eye."
If an ordinary woman heard these words, she would be so ashamed that she could not hold her head up, but Jiang Mengyue was upright and even raised her chin high.
She has no intention of becoming his crown princess, she is the future fourth princess.
She approached the crown prince today just because she wanted to get close to the fourth prince through the crown prince.
Besides, the crown prince already has a crown princess, and the best she can do is become a concubine. How could she, a proud person, lower her status to become a concubine?
"I can help His Highness deal with Lord Chu."
Jiang Mengyue said this calmly.
The indifferent smile on the crown prince's face immediately disappeared and turned cold, with a fierce look on his face.
He took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Mengyue's neck.
Jiang Mengyue was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe. She panicked for a moment. She could feel the hand holding her neck getting tighter and tighter, almost breaking her neck.
She felt scared, but she tried her best to calm down, and said with a slight trembling, "I will definitely be able to help His Highness. Please trust me for once."
The prince was really murderous. He had been thinking about getting rid of Chu Yunli for a long time. He even sent several assassins to assassinate Chu Yunli secretly, but failed.
These are all done in secret, no one knows his thoughts.
But now that a little fake daughter came to mention this matter to him, how could he not be frightened.
"How did you know?" The crown prince asked coldly, his voice without any emotion.
Jiang Mengyue's neck was pinched, and she struggled to speak, "I... almost died once. Since then, I have been dreaming about what will happen in the future from time to time..."
The crown prince narrowed his eyes and loosened his hand slightly after hearing her words.
Jiang Mengyue gasped for breath. She almost thought she was really going to die, she was almost strangled to death by the crown prince.
"What's do you mean?"
Jiang Mengyue said with difficulty, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, after learning that I was a fake daughter, I couldn't think about for a moment and committed suicide by hanging myself from a beam. However, I survived."
"Since then, I have had precognitive dreams from time to time, and I can know what will happen in the future. I couldn't believe it at first, but it is all true, and everything in the dream has really come true one by one."
She didn't tell all about her abilities, except that she had dreams from time to time.
In this case, there will be a reason to hide something from the crown prince.
"Oh?" A strange color flashed in the crown prince's eyes, and he was obviously interested in this matter. If what she said was true, it would be of great use.
"Do you know what will happen if you lie to me?"
Jiang Mengyue lowered her head and said weakly, "I dare not lie, how dare I deceive His Highness..."
"It's best not. If you let me know that you deceived me, I will make your life worse than death." The crown prince decided to believe the person in front of him. If her words are true, he will know after verification.
The crown prince sent a personal maid to follow Jiang Mengyue and keep a close eye on her.
If she dares to behave strangely or escape, she will be dealt with directly.
Jiang Mengyue felt a little relieved and finally persuaded the crown prince. As long as the crown prince knew that what she said was true, she would be able to hug the crown prince's thigh, and then she would be able to contact the fourth prince through the crown prince.
"...then I will take my leave first."
Jiang Mengyue said something to the crown prince, bowed and left.
After Jiang Mengyue left, the crown prince ordered his men to check her details and see if what she said was true.
If what she said is true...
A cold look flashed in the crown prince's eyes, and he clenched his fists, "Chu Yunli... I will definitely get rid of you this time."
