The next morning, Chu Nanxi went to the palace to pay her respects. When she entered the palace, the person she was greeted by was the second princess. Looking at the handsome and elegant Chu Nanxi felt a little moved.

I was curious about which noble family he was from and why I had never seen him before.

"Chun Hua, which prince or minister's mansion does this young man belong to?"

"This slave doesn't know."

"Follow and have a look."

"Yes."

Chu Nanxi came to the hall and knelt down immediately, saying, "Your Majesty, I, Chu Nanxi, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

The emperor saw that Chu Nanxi was very angry deep down. The Chu family cooperated with the two countries, so no matter how unhappy he was, he could not take action against the Chu family. After all, his brothers and sisters were from the royal families of the two countries and were very skilled in martial arts. If anything happened to the Chu family, they would definitely not let it go.

The emperor suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Stand up."

Chu Nanxi thanked her and stood up slowly.

At this time, the second princess came to the hall and looked at Chu Nanxi from time to time.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Rou'er, what do you want to see me for?"

"Father, I miss you and come to pay my respects to you."

"Rou'er is thoughtful."

"Father, who is this?"

"Your servant Chu Nanxi pays respect to the Second Princess."

The second princess was surprised and said, "You are Chu Nanxi, the son of the Lord of Shucheng."

"It's down."

"Impossible, the Chu Nanxi that I have seen is not like you."

"I have never seen the Second Princess."

"I saw Chu Nanxi at the Shizhou Inn. She was pockmarked all over her face and was about to die. You don't look like a terminally ill person, unless you are pretending."

"Father, he is guilty of deceiving the emperor. You must punish him severely, otherwise you will not be able to convince the people."

"Second Princess, I was infected with the virus all over my body, so my face was covered with rashes and pockmarks. Later, the poison was cured by the elixir developed by my junior sister, and now the virus on my face has been eliminated. This is my original appearance."

"I don't believe you are deliberately disobeying my order."

"If the Second Princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Kingdom of Wei to ask the Third Princess. You will know the answer after just one question."

The second princess wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Okay, Chu Nanxi, you can leave first."

"My minister retire."

After Chu Nanxi left, "Father, he deceived his superiors and deliberately sabotaged the marriage. His crime is unforgivable. You must kill him to relieve your daughter's hatred."

"Rou'er, don't mess around. Father knows what's going on."

"Father knows that he is deceiving the emperor, so why doesn't he punish him?"

"Father has his own plans. Go back quickly and don't cause any trouble."

"My son, please retire."

The second princess was unwilling to leave the palace. She was a princess of a country, but he was unwilling to marry her. He would rather marry the disgraced Song Liuli than a noble princess, which damaged her self-esteem.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she immediately ordered people to spread the news of Song Liuli's affair with a man in Xingqing Mansion. She wanted to see if Chu Nanxi would still treat her the same way after knowing Song Liuli's past.

Chu Nanxi knew that she had married a fickle woman, so it is possible that she divorced Song Liuli in anger.

Chu Nanxi returned to the Song family villa and told Song Liuli what happened in the palace, and reminded her to be careful of the second princess' revenge.

"Husband, why don't we go back to Shucheng tomorrow? I'm worried about the Second Princess's domineering personality. She won't just let it go."

"We just arrived yesterday and will leave tomorrow. Shucheng is far away from Xingqing Prefecture and it's not easy to go back to your mother's home. You should stay with your mother for a few more days before leaving."

Song Liuli looked at Chu Nanxi gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, my husband, but I'm worried that the second princess will cause trouble."

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

The next day, rumors about Song Liuli were rife in the city and became increasingly intense, causing great damage to her reputation.

There were often people pointing and talking at the gate of the Song family's villa. The Song family members were worried that Chu Nanxi would know that Song Liuli had escaped from her marriage. Which man would not care about his wife's past?

They were relieved only after Chu Nanxi explained everything to them. It turned out that Song Liuli was with Chu Nanxi during the time when she escaped from her marriage. They all said that they were a match made in heaven.

On the same day that the second princess ordered people to spread the rumor, she also ordered people to pay attention to the movements in the Song family villa. However, the scene she expected did not appear. The courtyard was still peaceful. The second princess was so angry that she smashed many things.

"Which man can tolerate his wife hanging out with another man for several months, unless he is not a man."

“Ge Qiu, send someone to find out when Chu Nanxi and the others will return to Shucheng and teach them a lesson.”

"I obey my orders."

Soon, Chu Nanxi and her friends bid farewell to Mrs. Deng and Censor Song and took Song Liuli back to Shucheng. Along the way, Chu Nanxi and Song Liuli enjoyed the scenery along the way.

However, they were unaware of the approaching danger.

On a remote mountain road, a group of men in black suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Mu Ran, take some people to protect the young lady, and the rest of you follow me to fight the enemy."

"Yes."

He immediately drew his sword and stood on guard, but the man in black attacked without a word.

Chu Nanxi nimbly fended off the enemy's attack, but the enemy's large numbers surrounded him tightly.

Chu Nanxi condensed her true energy and wielded her sword, instantly repelling a dozen men in black.

At this moment, another group of men in black rushed out of the woods, and the situation became more critical.

Muren led the guards to fight hard, but the men in black attacked more and more fiercely.

Chu Nanxi clenched the sword tightly and swept it across. A series of cold lights came, and the man in black was blown away.

However, the leader of the men in black took the opportunity to attack Song Liuli. Chu Nanxi sensed something was wrong and flew over. Song Liuli stood in front of Chu Nanxi at the critical moment and was stabbed in the abdomen by the sword. Blood gushed out instantly and he fell into Chu Nanxi's arms.

"Liuli, Liuli, how are you?"

He quickly took out the Yiyuan Shendan from his pocket and gave it to Song Liuli to take.

"Why are you so stupid as to block the sword for me?"

She was in so much pain that beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She said intermittently: "Husband... I... I'm fine. Even if I die... I can't watch you get into trouble."

"Don't talk. I'll take you to bandage your wound."

"Mu Ran, cover me."

Chu Nanxi held Song Liuli and found a safe place to bandage her wounds.

Song Liuli looked pale because of her injury, but she still smiled strongly and comforted Chu Nanxi.

Chu Nanxi looked at her with pity and made up her mind to protect her.

At this time, Mu Ran led the guards to engage in a fierce battle with the men in black. Chu Nanxi took care of Song Liuli while observing the battle.

Suddenly, Chu Nanxi noticed that the leader of the men in black was secretly accumulating strength, preparing to launch a fatal attack.

He was extremely anxious and decided to take a risk and break out to attract the enemy's attention.

Chu Nanxi flashed and rushed towards the leader of the men in black, using her swordsmanship fiercely. Seeing this, the leader had to turn around and respond, and the two sides started a life-and-death contest.

At the same time, Muren seized the opportunity and commanded the guards to launch a counterattack. They cooperated well and gradually turned the situation around.

After a fierce battle, the men in black were finally defeated, and Chu Nanxi hurried back to Song Liuli.

"Liuli, how do you feel?"

She stammered in pain: "Husband, I'm much better now."

Chu Nanxi picked up Song Liuli and ordered loudly: "Get out of here quickly."

"Yes."

The group continued on their journey. This time they were more vigilant to ensure Song Liuli's safety. The carriage was covered with thick bedding for Song Liuli to lie on, and Chu Nanxi was there to take care of him.

He guessed that it must have been done by the Second Princess or the Emperor, and swore to himself that this matter could not be let go. He would first take Liuli back home to recuperate and then help her remember.

A few days later, Chu Nanxi and his group finally arrived in Shucheng. City Lord Chu was furious when he learned that they had been assassinated.

When the lady knew that Song Liuli was injured while saving Chu Nanxi, she burst into tears of gratitude towards her.

Chu Nanxi sent people to investigate the attack thoroughly. Soon all the evidence pointed to the second princess and the third prince, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that Song Liuli was gradually recovering, Chu Nanxi lied that he had something to do and was away for a while. He quietly returned to Xingqing Mansion alone, entered the Second Princess's Mansion at midnight, and sneaked into her boudoir to create the illusion of sudden death.

After finishing everything, he quietly went to the Third Prince's residence. He put some poison in the Prince's wife's room and left evidence in the Third Prince's study.

He whispered, "Third Prince, a woman cannot be more cruel than a man. Let me show you the revenge of the wife."

He quietly left the city and rode his horse all the way back to Shucheng. Even if the second princess died, she would not be able to find him.

The next day, the servants found the second princess dead in bed. They were so scared that they quickly reported it to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly. After a long investigation, no clues were found and the matter was left unresolved.

When the Third Prince's wife learned that she had been poisoned, she ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. The servant came and reported that there was such a poison in the Third Prince's study, which made her extremely angry and she secretly decided to take revenge on him.

Chu Nanxi and Song Liuli returned to their normal state, but their feelings deepened a lot.
