Chu Feiyan's eyes had become hazy. She lowered her head and kissed the man's forehead, then followed his straight nose to his lips, biting his Adam's apple, and instinctively released the long-suppressed desire.

There is a cold wind outside the window, but the house is filled with the spirit of spring.

The noise in the room did not stop until dawn.

Chu Feiyan got dressed, glanced at the man who was already asleep on the bed, opened the back window and jumped out.

As soon as she left, Gong Beixuan sat up on the bed, looking at the window that was slowly closing, with an indistinguishable meaning surging in his deep eyes.

"Master, the person has already left. Do you want to follow him?" A deep voice came through the window.

"No need. Have someone keep an eye on Xinwuhou Mansion." Gong Beixuan ordered.

"Yes!" The dark shadow outside the window flashed away.

"Liang Ying, go prepare some hot water." Gong Beixuan said again.

"Yes, master." A slightly childish voice answered him.

Gong Beixuan sat for a while, then threw back the quilt and got out of bed. He found a candle, lit it with a tinder, and the room immediately became bright.

He turned around and walked back to the bed, and at a glance he saw bright red plum blossoms on the light blue sheets, as bright as fireworks.

After a moment of pause, he pulled up the bed sheet and looked at the bloodstains in a daze.

After standing there for a while, he found a pair of scissors, cut off the plum blossom on the bed sheet, and folded it carefully.

He found a brocade box in the cabinet, put the things into the box as if they were treasures, and then put it back into the cabinet.

After Chu Feiyan left the Imperial Master's Mansion, she thought for a while and went back to her own princess's mansion first, intending to change her clothes before returning to Xinwu Hou's Mansion.

Xiao Changchuan returned to Beijing today, and with the matters of Xiao Changqing and Chunmei, a bunch of troubles were waiting for her to deal with.

This princess mansion originally belonged to my mother. After her parents died in battle, my grandfather, the late emperor, conferred the title of princess on her and left this mansion for her to continue living in.

When he returned to his own courtyard, the three maids who lived there had already gotten up to practice martial arts.

"The princess is back!"

The three maids, Xia An, Qiu Ling and Dong Mei, suddenly saw her come back and surrounded her happily.

Seeing the three girls standing in front of him alive, Chu Feiyan's eyes turned red again.

These three girls and Chuntao were the people she trusted the most before, and they had all been to the battlefield with her.

She had been married into the Xinwu Marquis' Mansion for two years. Whenever the Xiao family treated her unfairly, these three maids would always stand up for her, thus offending the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

In order to maintain peace at home, she sent the three maids back to the princess's mansion, leaving only Chuntao by her side.

In the previous life, on the night when the Duke of Weiguo's mansion was massacred, Chuntao disappeared, and the three maids all died in battle to protect her.

"Princess, it's only the morning of April. Why are you back at this time? Where is Chun Tao?"

A maid looked behind her and saw that she came back alone, with a faint smell of blood on her body.

The three of them all looked pale, "Princess, are you hurt? Did the people in the Marquis' Mansion bully you again?"

"It's someone else's blood. This princess is fine. Go and boil some water for me to take a bath. I'll take you to the Marquis' Mansion when it's daybreak."

Chu Feiyan went back to her dorm after she finished speaking. She was really feeling sore all over and her legs felt weak when she walked. She just wanted to take a hot bath to relieve the pain.

Looking at her back, the three girls looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

"The princess seems to have changed!"

"I felt it too. This is the first time the princess didn't let that Chuntao follow her around."

"Don't make up stories about the master, let's go and boil some water!"

******

Outside the gate of Xinwuhou Mansion.

A gorgeously decorated carriage slowly stopped, and the "Princess Min'an Palace" sign on the front of the carriage sparkled brightly in the morning light!

Xia An, Qiu Ling and Dong Mei, the three maids, rode in front on horseback, followed by a hundred or so guards from the princess's mansion.

There were two guards standing on the left and right of the gate of the marquis's mansion. When they saw the carriage coming, they just looked at it with contempt and stood there without any concern.

"Princess, please slow down."

Chu Feiyan got off the carriage with the help of two maids, Xia An and Qiu Ling.

Today she has changed her usual simple and elegant attire, with delicate makeup and a gorgeous princess palace dress. Against the morning light, the rich peony flowers embroidered with gold thread are shining brightly.

Chu Feiyan raised his head and looked at the Xinwuhou Mansion in front of him with cold eyes.

I was so stupid in my previous life. As a famous female general on the battlefield and a princess personally appointed by the late emperor, I was willing to be trapped in the backyard of a mansion for an unworthy man. In the end, I was ambushed and even my martial arts were wasted.

If Xiao Changqing had not fed her the power-dispersing pill, those killers would not have been her match, and her grandfather and brother would not have been brutally murdered.

Walking up the steps, seeing that the two guards were still standing still, Xia An angrily scolded: "You bold servant, you don't even kneel down to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The two guards looked at each other with disdain. What was this stupid woman trying to do? Did she think that the prince was back and she would have something to rely on? After such a big incident last night, she might be divorced by the prince soon.

But when he saw the princess dress she was wearing, he reluctantly bowed to her.

"Meet the princess."

Seeing them being so perfunctory, Xia An was furious and drew his sword, "You are looking for death!"

Qiu Ling also felt unfair for her. The princess was of noble status, but she married a man like Xiao Changchuan and was looked down upon by everyone in the mansion. These servants dared to be so rude to her because of the princess's compromise.

"Disrespecting this princess is disrespecting the royal family." Chu Feiyan sneered, "Come here, drag them away and give each of them thirty military sticks to serve as a warning to others."

"Yes!" Several guards from the princess's mansion rushed up and pressed the two guards to the ground, and the sound of beatings was heard.

As soon as they entered the mansion, a servant came up to them in a hurry, "Madam, the Marquis asked you to go to the front hall..."

"How dare you!" Xia An shouted coldly, blocking the servant with his sword, "How can you be so flustered? What crime will you be punished for bumping into the princess?"

The servant was stunned and a little confused. Aren’t they usually like this?

He looked up at Chu Feiyan and was immediately met with her cold gaze. He was so shocked that he immediately knelt down and said, "I know I am wrong. Please forgive me, Princess."

Chu Feiyan said nothing and walked around the servant.

When I walked into the hall, I saw that it was full of people. Almost everyone who should come to the mansion had come.

Xiao Changqing was lying on a small couch, groaning in pain. A middle-aged woman was sitting beside him sobbing.

A figure quickly walked up to her, "Chu Feiyan, where have you been?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Feiyan looked up in surprise and saw that it was Xiao Changchuan!

On this day in his previous life, Xiao Changchuan returned home in the afternoon, but in this life he showed up so early in the morning?

The only difference from his previous life was that he was still wearing military uniform, his hair was a little messy, and his face was weather-beaten, as if he had rushed back overnight, looking exhausted, but it still couldn't hide his handsome and extraordinary temperament.

"Chu Feiyan, I want to ask you, where did you go all night last night?" Xiao Changchuan asked in a questioning tone, "I asked people to look for you everywhere..."

Chu Feiyan's eyes turned cold and he raised his hand to slap him.

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound of slaps was particularly loud in the hall.

"How dare you! How can you call me by my name casually?"

"You...?" Xiao Changchuan covered his burning face with his hands, unable to believe that this woman dared to hit him!
