The Queen and Lu Zhong stood in the distance, staring at Shen Jingxuan's leaving back, lost in thought.

"Did she see us?"

"No." Lu Zhong answered affirmatively.

Their location was so secretive that he didn't believe that Shen Jingxuan, a girl from the boudoir, could easily detect their presence.

"Xie Lingxiao is not in the palace now..."

"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until the border war is over before making a decision."

"Still don't know why Xiling Country invaded?"

“I don’t know…”

Speaking of the border war, Lu Zhong's brows gradually frowned.

After several days, he still couldn't figure out why Xiling Kingdom suddenly attacked Beiling Kingdom.

What made him even more confused was that at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, when Song Yi asked to marry Xie Shiyin as his concubine, he also mentioned that the two countries had good relations.

Why did Xiling Kingdom attack Beiling Kingdom in just a few months?

Although he has sent people to investigate, the journey is long and the investigation takes time. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait to know the truth.

The two stood there, unable to figure out what was happening. At this time, Shen Jingxuan was quickly leaving the palace.

Ling Qiong and Ling Huan waited anxiously, and finally saw the figure of their own princess. They quickly came to Shen Jingxuan's side.

"Princess, has the emperor made things difficult for you?" Ling Huan asked anxiously.

Shen Jingxuan looked around: "Let's go back to the palace first."

Although there were few pedestrians in front of the palace, there were many people coming in and out of the palace, so it was not appropriate to discuss this matter at this time.

Ling Qiong glared at Ling Huan: "Why don't you help the princess get on the carriage?"

They have followed Xie Lingxiao for many years and should have developed the habit of doing more, talking less, and asking less.

But for some reason, Ling Huan had developed this habit for so many years, but after only being with Shen Jingxuan for a short time, he had already forgotten it completely.

Ling Qiong and Ling Huan helped Shen Jingxuan get on the carriage, and Ling Chen drove the carriage towards the Regent's Palace.

As they passed a busy street, their carriage was stopped.

Ling Qiong and Ling Huan looked at the person in front of them, and their expressions instantly turned ugly.

They didn't expect that Xie Zihan, who was kicked unconscious at the gate of the palace by people from the palace in the afternoon, would appear here at this time.

"Your Highness, please move aside." Ling Qiong's voice was slightly cold.

At this moment, she wanted to return home quickly and teach the person guarding the gate a lesson.

She wanted to ask how they did it. Even if they couldn't kick Xie Zihan to death, why did they wake him up in such a short time?

Still standing here intact.

Xie Zihan ignored Ling Qiong and walked straight towards the carriage.

"Xuan'er, I finally see you." He kept rubbing his hands.

Ever since Xie Lingxiao was ambushed, he hasn't seen Shen Jingxuan for a long time.

Now that she was right in front of him, even though there was a curtain between them, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

Shen Jingxuan asked: "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under house arrest? Why can he leave the Crown Prince's Mansion again and again?"

"Xuan'er, I just want to see you and tell you something."

Shen Jingxuan sneered: "Your Highness the Crown Prince may have forgotten that we are not that familiar with each other."

"And you disobeyed the imperial edict first. If the emperor finds out, I don't know what the consequences will be. I can't avoid it."

He disobeyed the emperor's orders and no one would want to have anything to do with him.

But Shen Jingxuan didn’t understand why the emperor still hadn’t punished Xie Zihan even though half a day had passed since he made a fool of himself in the Regent’s Palace.

Xie Zihan said nonchalantly: "Father will not know."

Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered when she heard his words.

I don't know...

If this is the case, the people guarding the Prince's Mansion must have already surrendered to Xie Zihan, right?

"In that case, what does Your Highness want to say?"

Besides saying things that made Shen Jingxuan unhappy, she wanted to know what else Xie Zihan could say.

"Xuan'er, when the border war is over, I will go to the palace to ask my father to grant us marriage, okay?"

"Prince, have you forgotten? I have already married the Regent."

"This is only temporary, when the time comes..."

Xie Zihan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then my father will grant us marriage."

Shen Jingxuan frowned: "Why did the prince say that?"

As expected, Xie Zihan had other thoughts.

With his persistence, he should not do anything to hurt himself at this time, so it can only be Xie Lingxiao.

Shen Jingxuan only hoped that this time, Xie Lingxiao could safely escape his plan.

Xie Zihan showed a confident smile: "Xuan'er, don't worry, father will definitely agree."

Before Shen Jingxuan could say anything, she heard him murmur softly, "Maybe by then, I won't need his consent anymore."

Although Xie Zihan's voice was very low, with Shen Jingxuan's hearing ability, there was no way she could not hear it.

She suddenly looked towards the curtain, her almond eyes narrowed slightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really confident."

Xie Zihan said: "Xuan'er, just wait, I will do it at all costs."

He had never thought before that he would become so stubborn in order to get something or someone.

As long as he can get Shen Jingxuan, there is nothing he dare not do.

Shen Jingxuan chuckled and said, "Your Highness, if I am waiting, I am waiting for Xie Lingxiao, not you."

"Ling Chen, let's go back home."

Xie Zihan's thoughts were fully revealed in his words.

She wanted to go back home and think of a way to deal with the situation, lest he go crazy and catch her off guard.

Xie Zihan stopped in front of the carriage and said, "Xuan'er, can you come down and let me take a look?"

Ling Qiong and Ling Huan looked at him, clenched their fists, and waited for Shen Jingxuan's order to knock the man in front of them to the ground.

Ling Chen gripped the whip tightly and stared at Xie Zihan intently, as if the whip would fall on him mercilessly as long as he took a step forward.

Shen Jingxuan said impatiently: "Ling Chen, rush over, he wants to die, just make him happy."

Xie Zihan was furious: "Xuan'er, you..."

"Princess, please sit tight."

As soon as Ling Chen finished speaking, he looked at Xie Zihan dangerously and swung the whip hard.

Xie Zihan saw Ling Chen's actions and quickly made way, but it was too late.

His robe was caught on the carriage, and after running for a distance with the carriage, he finally couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

When the guards saw this, they broke out in a cold sweat.

They also ran behind the carriage until someone cut off Xie Zihan's clothes and he was finally rescued.

Ling Huan turned around and looked at Xie Zihan who was lying on the ground, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "You deserve it for blocking my way!"

If she didn't want to cause trouble, she would have taught Xie Zihan a lesson long ago.

Ling Chen and Ling Qiong looked at each other. Although they were both relieved, neither of them said anything.

Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly when she heard Ling Huan's words.

Ling Huan's personality is becoming more and more like Chun Tao, and sometimes she doesn't even know whether she should continue to keep her around.

It is not appropriate for the Regent's Palace to be too ostentatious nowadays, and this move today is only because there is no other way.

If not for this, Xie Zihan would definitely pester her to the end, how could he let her go?

Ling Chen drove the carriage around the corner and saw the gate of the Regent's Palace in the distance.

But unexpectedly, a man suddenly rushed out in front of the carriage and fell on the street.
