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

"Mr. Du is so talented, why can't he find a good match? Why does he have to pester my second mother?" Xia Yurou expressed her dissatisfaction with Du Wenxuan's behavior.

But Du Wenxuan waved his folding fan indifferently, staring at Er Niang infatuatedly, and replied to Xia Yurou indifferently: "Miss Xia, you are wrong. I am not a rogue who wants to pester Er Niang. It's just that my love for Er Niang is as hot as the summer sun. If Miss Xia can help me and Er Niang get together, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to tease Er Niang: "I'm afraid that the unfinished love between us in our previous life can only be continued in this life."

Er Niang ignored her with a gloomy face, but Princess Xia, who was chivalrous and tender, was very angry at the moment. In order not to hurt the fetus, she tried her best to keep her emotions as calm as possible, suppressed her anger and calmed herself down.

Seeing that the young lady was very angry with this lecher, Xiaoxue no longer hesitated. She decisively pulled out the whip from her waist and beat Du Wenxuan hard without any hesitation.

Even though Xiaoxue's martial arts are now much stronger than before, Du Wenxuan is like a traveler walking on the wind, and he can dodge the fierce blows of the whip every time.

The gap in strength between Du Wenxuan and Xiaoxue is too great, and it is obvious that Xiaoxue is no match for Du Wenxuan.

Er Niang was afraid that Xiaoxue would get hurt, so she was about to speak to stop him, but the princess spoke first: "Xiaoxue, stop fighting. We don't need to waste time here with him."

Although Xiaoxue was unwilling, she had to listen to the young lady, retract the whip, and obediently retreated to Xia Yurou's side.

When the few people arrived at the gate of the palace, the three big characters "Northern Palace" looked more solemn against the golden glow, and every stroke contained unspeakable majesty.

Dong Daitian looked at the Northern Palace in disbelief, and then guessed Xia Yurou's identity. He quickly bowed and said, "I am Dong Daitian, and I greet the Northern Princess!"

Hearing her father's words, Dong Yuhong also hurriedly bowed and said, "I, the humble girl Dong Yuhong, greet the princess."

"Uncle Dong, you are injured, so don't go through so much red tape. Be careful of your injury."

Xia Yurou raised her hand gently, and her gentle smile showed the dignity of a princess yet the tenderness of a woman.

Dong Yuhong supported her father and slowly walked into the palace, but Du Wenxuan, who had been pestering Er Niang, suddenly turned around and left.

Xiaoxue, who noticed something was wrong, asked the princess in confusion: "Miss, this is so strange. Didn't he always cling to her and refuse to leave? Why did he leave now?"

Xia Yurou shook her head gently, her eyes passing through the gate of the palace: "Perhaps, he is afraid of my prince?"

Xiaoxue agreed with many words and whispered: "The prince is also a man of sentiment. If Du Wenxuan is sincere to Second Mother, do you think the prince will agree to this marriage?"

Not to mention that Second Lady's face darkened, even Xia Yurou said unhappily: "The prince will not do such a ridiculous thing. Besides, it depends on whether Second Lady is willing or not."

As they stepped into the guest room in the south wing, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint fragrance of flowers and the freshness of bamboo leaves in the courtyard, and even the air became exceptionally elegant.

Dong Yuhong helped Dong Daitian sit on the couch, and Xia Yurou told Xiaoxue, "Go get Doctor Zhang."

Xiaoxue quickly found the family doctor in the mansion. He first felt Dong Daitian's pulse, his brows sometimes knitted and sometimes relaxed. After a while, Doctor Zhang said respectfully to the princess: "Fortunately, the root cause is not damaged. You just need to take a few doses of medicine on time and recuperate for a few days and you will be fine."

After saying this, Doctor Zhang took out a piece of paper and pen from the medicine box, and soon handed a written prescription to the princess.

Xia Yurou took the prescription and said to Xiaoxue beside her, "Go to the pharmacy quickly and get the medicine according to the prescription. Pick the best herbs. Uncle Dong's injury cannot be taken lightly."

Dong Daitian struggled to stand up, stopped Xiaoxue from getting medicine, and said weakly to Xia Yurou, "Princess, I am Dong Baotou of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and escorting and delivering goods is my job. Although I was seriously injured this time, the goods in Nandu City cannot be delayed, so we will say goodbye now."

Dong Yuhong took the prescription from Xiaoxue and bowed deeply to Xia Yurou: "Princess, I will always remember your kindness and will repay you generously if I have the chance."

Seeing them leaving, Xia Yurou was worried about Dong Daitian's injury and said, "Uncle Dong, if you force yourself to leave now, I'm afraid you will get sick. The goods in Nandu are important, but you are the support of Sister Yuhong and the entire escort agency. Please listen to me. If you force yourself to leave, I can't stop you. Please let Second Lady go with you. Second Lady is capable of dealing with emergencies on the road, and I can feel more at ease."

Er Niang also immediately echoed: "Don't worry, Dong Biaotou, I will do my best to protect you and ensure that the goods are delivered to the southern capital safely."

"Thank you, Princess. I'll have to trouble you, Second Lady."

Afterwards, Er Niang called over two of his capable men and said to them, "This time we are going to help Dong Biaotou's Zhenyuan Escort Agency deliver a batch of goods to Nandu City. We can't be careless along the way. Mentou, sharpen your knife and make sure it doesn't fall behind when the time comes. Lengzi, although you don't know martial arts, you must keep your eyes and ears sharp and protect yourself from getting hurt."

He patted his chest and waved the kitchen knife in his hand: "Madam Boss, I have cut many hard bones with this knife. I guarantee that I can cut through mountains and build bridges over rivers on the road."

Lengzi scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Although I am not as good as Mutou, my eyes are sharp. I will be the first to find out if there is any disturbance."

Afterwards, they walked out of the palace.

Mentou walked in the front, while Dong Daitian, supported by his daughter Dong Yuhong, walked towards the inn to join the team.

Sun Erniang followed closely behind with her sword. Lengzi would tell the proprietress a few jokes from time to time, trying to ease the heaviness of the separation with a relaxed atmosphere.

By the river, the setting sun is reflected on the river surface like blood, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. However, such a beautiful scenery is fleeting.

"So she is the Northern Princess..."

A complex smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Du Wenxuan's mouth. In that smile, there was both surprise at the revelation of Xia Yurou's identity and relief at the change of his plans.

He slowly turned around and stood by the river, exuding a majesty that should not be underestimated, like an ice blade in the cold night that pierced through the silence around him. He said coldly to the masked man in black who had been standing beside him: "The plan has changed."

These four short words hit the man in black's heart like a heavy hammer. He couldn't help but tremble all over. Then he lowered his head respectfully, waiting for further instructions from his master.

"The goal this time is not only to get the goods, but also to find out the details of Princess Bei and pave the way for future plans."

The black-clad man's mission this time was to investigate the background of Princess Bei. His figure disappeared like a ghost in the twilight by the river.

Du Wenxuan gazed at the setting sun that was gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, an even more unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he took out an exquisite jade whistle from his sleeve and placed it to his lips.

A clear and long whistle sounded through the night sky and was carried away by the evening breeze, as if calling for something?

Not long after, several dark shadows gathered silently from all directions, their faces hidden under their cloaks, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cold light. They stood respectfully behind Du Wenxuan, waiting for the next order.

Under the cover of night, this scene looked particularly strange, as if foreshadowing an unknown secret war that was about to unfold.
