After traveling through time, I became a princess in ancient times

Under the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the account book in Xia Yurou's hand, and the golden light was intertwined with the fragrance of ink.

She gently turned each page, and every account was written clearly, showing this month's income.

At this moment, Steward Lin ran over breathlessly, his face full of anxiety, and shouted anxiously: "Princess, it's bad, Xiaoxue has been captured."

Upon hearing the news that Xiaoxue was kidnapped, Xia Yurou's account book slipped to the ground. She stood up suddenly and asked, "Why was Xiaoxue kidnapped?"

Steward Lin's forehead was covered with sweat, and he panted as he said, "Just now a group of people suddenly broke into the store, saying that we had taken his business and wanted to settle accounts with you, Princess. They took Xiaoxue away without noticing you."

Xia Yurou's heart sank suddenly. Xiaoxue was not just a maid to her, but also one of her few friends and a sister in this strange world.

She rushed into the room quickly, grabbed the sword hanging on the wall, and rushed through the corridors and gardens of the palace like a gust of wind.

On the bustling streets, Xia Yurou was searching anxiously for any clues that might be related to Xiaoxue.

Suddenly a restaurant caught her attention. There was a seal on the door, which was particularly eye-catching.

She hurriedly stopped a passerby and asked, "Brother, why was this restaurant closed down?"

Seeing Xia Yurou's anxious face, the passerby had nothing to hide, so he answered truthfully: "This restaurant used to be one of the most famous restaurants in the city. Since the opening of Rouyue Hotpot Restaurant, their business has been declining. I heard that the owner of the restaurant even found some people to cause trouble at the hotpot restaurant. I just saw them take the girl from the hotpot restaurant away."

After confirming the target, Xia Yurou turned to Steward Lin and said, "Wait for the prince to come back. I'll go save Xiaoxue."

Steward Lin nodded anxiously. He knew the princess' temper and at this moment he could only pray that the prince would come back as soon as possible.

Following the directions given by passers-by, Xia Yurou quickly arrived at the gate of a mansion on the outskirts of the town.

At this time, the gate was closed, and only a few old trees were swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering.

Xia Yurou stood in front of the mansion and knocked on the door hard. Footsteps were heard behind the door and the door slowly opened.

When the man saw that it was Xia Yurou, he hurriedly called over two burly guards, both of whom had fierce eyes and malicious intentions.

Xia Yurou didn't want to waste time here. If she was late for a second, Xiaoxue would be in more danger. She knocked down several people in two or three moves.

She quickly crossed the courtyard and faintly heard Xiaoxue's faint cry for help. She followed the direction of the sound, walked through a corridor, and came to a closed door.

There was a lot of noise inside, and Xia Yurou kicked the door open in a hurry. The scene inside the room made her so angry that she was burning with anger.

At this time, Xiaoxue was being pressed on the bed by a wretched man, and her clothes were being torn off, revealing her fair skin.

"stop!"

Xia Yurou's voice was as cold as frost, and every word was squeezed out from between her teeth. She wished she could cut him into pieces.

The man was still shouting shamelessly when he was about to die: "Hey, isn't this our noble princess? What? Are you feeling sorry for this little bitch?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yurou's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She instantly came in front of him, grabbed the man's wrist, and hit him hard in the lower abdomen with her knee.

The man's miserable screams echoed in the mansion. His face was pale, his legs curled up weakly, his hands tightly covered his lower abdomen, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

Xiaoxue stared at the scene blankly until Xia Yurou came to her side. She could no longer control her emotions and hugged the princess's slender waist tightly and started crying, tears pouring out like turbulent waves.

Xia Yurou caressed Xiaoxue's long hair lovingly, took off the gauze of her coat and draped it over her trembling body, trying to use this faint warmth to soothe Xiaoxue's wounded heart.

After Xiaoxue calmed down a little, Xia Yurou helped her slowly walk out of the room, but a group of thugs surrounded them.

Everyone had a malicious smile on their face and sharp weapons in their hands, and it seemed that they wanted to kill them here.

Xia Yurou immediately protected Xiaoxue behind her and glanced around with a cold gaze, like a sword drawn from its sheath, ready to strike.

Just as the group of thugs were getting ready to attack, heavy footsteps were heard deep inside the mansion.

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came forward with a gloomy face. Seeing the long sword in Xia Yurou's hand, he couldn't help but sneer, his voice full of disdain: "Princess, it's not good to break into my mansion with a sword for a maid, right?"

"This princess may not open a hot pot restaurant, but how should I settle the account of you daring to hurt my people?"

Xia Yurou's eyes were filled with anger. She drew out her sword and shuttled between the thugs. Every time she swung the sword, she would stab one of the thugs.

Although the other side had a large number of people, they could not withstand Xia Yurou's fierce attack, and many of them fell under her sword.

At this moment, she became the light in Xiaoxue's heart.

As the last thug fell to the ground, the man was horrified and couldn't believe what he saw. He didn't expect this woman to be so fierce. He was so scared that he trembled all over. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead like a waterfall. He cried in his voice: "Princess, spare my life. I didn't know this maid was yours. Please let me live..."

Xia Yurou looked at him coldly, and swung her sword lightly. The sword energy passed by the man's ear with a whistling sound, cutting off a strand of his hair.

"I can forgive you for what happened today, but if there is a next time, I will make you pay with blood."

After saying this, Xia Yurou helped Xiaoxue out of the mansion. The sound of hurried horse hooves came from a distance.

Looking up, they saw Ren Chenxi riding a fast horse galloping towards them. He pulled the reins, and the galloping horse neighed loudly and stopped steadily in front of them.

He dismounted and immediately noticed Xiaoxue's half-dressed appearance. He was furious and asked hurriedly, "Rou'er, what's going on?"

Xia Yurou took a deep breath, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes: "Your Majesty, if I hadn't arrived in time, Xiaoxue would have been defiled by someone."

After hearing this, Ren Chenxi was about to rush into the mansion angrily, but was stopped by Xia Yurou who was beside him.

"You are a prince, not a gangster. If you kill someone, it may bring a lot of trouble."

The anger in his eyes had not yet subsided, and he looked at Xiaoxue with pity: "It's all my fault. I made you suffer."

At this time, Xiaoxue was already crying. She snuggled tightly in Xia Yurou's arms, her pale lips trembling, and she finally squeezed out a sentence: "Sister... Sister..."

Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears kept falling like beads from a broken string. This look made Xia Yurou feel heartbroken.

"Sister is here, I won't let anyone hurt you again."

The carriage was driving on the cobblestone road of Longyang City. Xia Yurou in the carriage hugged the trembling Xiaoxue tightly, trying to dispel the coldness and fear in her heart.

Xiaoxue leaned in her arms, her tears having dried up.

Ren Chenxi rode his horse parallel to the carriage, his eyes revealing an anger that was hard to conceal. If the princess had not stopped him, he would have rushed into the mansion and killed this evil thief with his own hands.
