At this moment, Xie Mishuang felt a surge of heat in her body, and her face gradually turned red. She hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from her waist, poured out a pill of antidote and swallowed it.

This medicine was exactly what she prepared in advance, just in case.

Seeing this, Ouyang Jing quickly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern, "Shuang'er, are you okay?"

Xie Mishuang shook his head, suppressed the heat surging in his body, and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

The two men quickly tied up General Han and left the tent quietly.

Under the cover of night, the two successfully brought General Han back to Princess Liuli's mansion.

As soon as Xie Mishuang returned to the room, he began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets looking for a more powerful antidote.

Ouyang Jing looked at her anxious expression, and his heart softened. He stepped forward and hugged her, whispering in her ear: "Shuang'er, I am your antidote, why look for someone else?"

Xie Mishuang looked at him dazedly, with a hint of haziness in her eyes, and chuckled: "That's right, you are ready-made..." As she said that, she took the initiative to kiss Ouyang Jing.

A night of spring supper.

On the morning of the second day, a guard's scream was heard from inside the Han family army's tent: "General... the general is missing!"

The news quickly spread throughout the military camp. A general leading the Han army angrily approached Gongsun Mei and demanded, "Tell me, where did you take our general?"

Gongsun Mei looked bewildered and said, "I don't know. I helped him back to his tent last night and then left."

The leading general stared at her suspiciously and said sternly, "Are you trying to blackmail our general into rebelling on your behalf?"

Gongsun Mei quickly denied it: "I didn't, stop talking nonsense!"

The leading general snorted coldly, "That's better not! Everyone else, keep looking for the general!"

The Han family army searched everywhere for General Han, but there was no trace of him.

At the same time, General Han appeared in Princess Liuli's mansion.

Under the arrangement of Xie Mishuang and Ouyang Jing, he "confessed" to the "fact" that the Regent's Palace was plotting a rebellion.

For a time, the imperial capital was in turmoil. The imperial guards directly sent troops to ransack the Regent's mansion from top to bottom. In consideration of the Regent's many years of contributions, the entire family was exiled, never to return.

The entire imperial capital was in panic.

With the fall of the Prince Regent's Palace, the Xuanyuan Imperial City seemed to have unloaded its heavy burden and returned to its former prosperity.

In the teahouse and tavern, the storyteller was talking with great enthusiasm as he vividly described how Princess Liuli was both wise and brave and single-handedly thwarted the Regent's conspiracy.

"Princess Liuli is truly a goddess!" one audience member exclaimed. "For the sake of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, she's even willing to sacrifice her own reputation. She's truly as brave as a man!"

"That's right!" another listener echoed, "Some people said she was unfaithful before, but now it seems that it was all a royal conspiracy! Princess Liuli is truly righteous!"

The people's transformation from initial suspicion to current admiration is astonishingly fast.

They no longer felt that Princess Liuli's marriage to the Prince Regent was a shameful thing. Instead, they were proud of it and believed that it was a great sacrifice made by the princess for the country and the people.

Soon, another piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys: Princess Liuli is about to recruit a prince consort again!

Upon hearing the news, the crown princes of various countries flocked to the Xuanyuan Imperial City with generous betrothal gifts, hoping to become the husband of the princess of the First Empire. Some even offered their own country as a betrothal gift just to win the beauty's smile.

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xuanyuan listened to Xie Mishuang's request.

"Father, my daughter and Ajing have already secretly decided to spend our lives together. There should be no need to recruit a prince consort...right?" Xie Mishuang said with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Before Emperor Xuanyuan could speak, Xuanyuan Yi spoke first, "Royal sister, I heard from A Yu that Ouyang Jing had betrayed you in Kangguo before and even kicked you out of the mansion. A man like that, even if he has a thousand good qualities, is not a good person!"

Xuanyuan Yu quickly agreed, "Big brother is right! There are only zero and countless times to be kicked out of the house. We are men and we understand best! What if he loses his memory again and forgets about you, and wants to divorce you again? What will you do?"

Xuanyuan Feng folded his arms across his chest and spoke, "Although this is the Imperial Sister's own business, as her elder brother, we must test her."

Emperor Xuanyuan looked at his children and nodded with satisfaction. "Your brothers are right. Besides, once the news gets out, the crown princes of various countries will come to our Xuanyuan Imperial City. Perhaps there are even more outstanding ones among them than Ouyang Jing. Shuang'er, don't hang yourself on a tree."

Xie Mishuang looked at the concerned eyes of the four people and finally gave in.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Aya ran over in a hurry.

"Oh no, Princess! The emperor...he started practicing martial arts as soon as he woke up in the morning, and beat all the guards in the palace so badly that they couldn't stand up!" Aya said breathlessly, her face full of anxiety.

Xie Mishuang rushed over and saw a mess. Several guards were lying on the ground, all with bruised faces and noses, and wailing sounds were heard one after another.

Ouyang Jing's clothes were soaked, and sweat was running down his angular face, but he was still in high spirits. He pointed his sword at a guard who was barely standing and shouted loudly: "Come again!"

The guard made a bitter face and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's no use, we really can't do it anymore, please forgive us, Your Excellency!"

Xie Mishuang quickly walked up to Ouyang Jing and gave him a reproachful look: "A Jing, what are you doing?"

When Ouyang Jing saw Xie Mishuang, he immediately put away his sword and said with a casual smile: "Shuang'er, I'm not tired yet."

Xie Mishuang took Ouyang Jing's hand, his eyes firm: "A Jing, why don't we elope?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Aya and the guards were all stunned, their mouths opened so wide that it seemed as if an egg could be stuffed in.

Ouyang Jing was also stunned. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, Ouyang Jing shook his head, his expression serious. "In the past, you and other women also passed through layers of screening before marrying me to become the Crown Princess. Now it's my turn. Don't worry, I will definitely take first place."

His tone was firm, and his eyes were gleaming with determination.

Xie Mishuang smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Okay, if you get first place, I will tell you the good news, but you are not allowed to lose your memory again this time." Her eyes moved with a hint of cunning.

"Okay, I won't do that this time." Ouyang Jing promised solemnly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Finally, the day of selecting the prince consort arrived. The princes and crown princes from various countries gathered together, all of them dressed in fine clothes and looked dignified, hoping to win the heart of Princess Liuli.

The first round was hosted by Xuanyuan Yu, and the competition was about understanding Xie Mishuang's preferences.

Everyone was given a list of Xie Mishuang's favorite items. They only had half an incense stick of time to memorize it. When the time was up, the list would be collected and everyone would have one incense stick of time to answer the questions on the paper.
