Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

A few days later, the guard in charge of the mission hurried back to the palace to report to Ying Zheng. He knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Yi Xiaochuan has escaped. We are so incompetent that we couldn't even recapture the tiger pendant!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was instantly enraged. Veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes widened, and he slammed the table, roaring, "You useless bastards! You actually let a mere Yi Xiaochuan escape from you! What's the point of me keeping you!"

Seeing this, Feng Xi hurried forward and gently took Ying Zheng's arm, saying softly, "Your Majesty, calm down and don't let your anger get to you. The guards can't be blamed for this. Yi Xiaochuan has always been a bit of a demon, so it's understandable that they weren't able to capture him this time."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's anger subsided a little, but he still looked at Feng Xi with lingering anger and asked doubtfully, "Xixi, why do you say that Yi Xiaochuan is weird? Do you know something about this?"

Feng Xi nodded slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, although I don't know the specific details, in my opinion, there must be a mysterious force behind Yi Xiaochuan that is secretly helping him. Otherwise, with his humble status as a slave, how could he have successfully escaped capture so many times? Moreover, he was able to win the favor of Princess Tuan. Your Majesty, think about it, would the noble Princess Tuan be attracted to his status as a slave? Or his unruly and unruly character? Obviously, it's impossible!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "Well, Xixi's words make sense. In that case, Yi Xiaochuan is indeed a bit eccentric. Princess Tuan must have been blinded by greed to favor such a man. Humph, what a foolish woman!"

Feng Xi frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked my brother to conduct a thorough investigation of that man. I heard that he first suddenly appeared in Xianyang City, and then was rescued by a mysterious person when he was about to be beheaded. I find this matter quite strange and it is very likely a conspiracy carefully planned by the remnants of the six kingdoms."

After hearing this, a cold look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will immediately order a notice to be issued throughout the city to arrest this person. He will be declared to have tarnished the reputation of the princess who came to marry, causing serious damage to the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries." Feng Xi nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with this decision.

At this moment, Feng Xi suddenly remembered something and could not help but ask Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for some time and have never had the opportunity to go out for a walk. I wonder if Your Majesty could take me out of the palace for a walk tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at her with interest and asked, "Xixi, why did you suddenly have such a thought? Could it be that you're homesick?"

Feng Xi quickly shook her head and explained, "That's not the case, Your Majesty. To be honest, I accidentally saved a skilled chef and together with him, we opened a restaurant called 'Yue Lai Restaurant' in the center of Xianyang City. I am really concerned about the current business situation of the restaurant. After all, it was a dowry given to me by my brother..."

Ying Zheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. He reached out and gently pinched her small, delicate nose, saying softly, "Haha, you're such a money-grubber! But it's okay. I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look, and we'll also check out how the Juxian Hall opened by Fusu is doing."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xi's mind flashed back to a scene from the original play—numerous rebels from the six kingdoms were hiding in the Juxian Hall. Her brow furrowed, and with a look of concern, she asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that someone with ulterior motives might take advantage of this opportunity to exploit His Highness Fusu?"

Ying Zheng chuckled nonchalantly and replied, "I precisely hope those with ulterior motives will take action. That way, I can seize the opportunity to capture them all! After all, Fusu is kind and benevolent, making him easily deceived and exploited. Furthermore, the constant indoctrination of Confucian scholars in recent years has made him somewhat pedantic, even beginning to believe that I am a cruel and inhumane monarch. However, he doesn't realize that if I weren't ruthless and decisive, how could I have successfully unified the world and stabilized the Qin Empire?"

Feng Xi's beautiful eyes moved, and she looked coquettishly at Ying Zheng, who was looking at her with an angry face. She took light steps and walked to Ying Zheng like a willow swaying in the wind. She stretched out her jade arms and gently hugged his neck. Her cherry lips pouted slightly, and she kissed him like a dragonfly touching the water, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. You still have me!" Ying Zheng was stunned at first, and then the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a doting smile. He also lowered his head to kiss Feng Xi back, and with a force of his hands, he hugged Feng Xi around the waist into his arms, and said softly: "Yes! I still have someone as caring as Xixi. In that case, Xixi, please give me a smart little prince soon..." Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng had already strode towards the inner room with Feng Xi in his arms. Seeing this, the maids and eunuchs behind him tactfully retreated.

Inside the inner chamber, red candles flickered, curtains danced softly, and the intimate atmosphere between the two intensified. Moans and low moans mingled, lingering only late into the night. Now, Ying Zheng cautiously rose from his bed and softly instructed the maids and eunuchs waiting outside to prepare hot water. Soon, steaming hot water was brought into the room. Ying Zheng gently carried the long-asleep Feng Xi into the tub and carefully washed her. Once she was clean, a maid stepped forward to help her change into fresh pajamas. Once everything was settled, Ying Zheng once again held Feng Xi in his arms, and together they fell into a sweet dream.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window lattice into the room, and Feng Xi slowly woke up. She felt sore and weak all over, as if she were falling apart. The maid who had been waiting nearby saw Feng Xi wake up and quickly stepped forward, gently helping her up. She said with concern, "Your Majesty is finally awake. His Majesty said that after you wake up, wash up, eat, and change into your usual clothes, you should wait for him. After the morning court session, His Majesty will take you out of the palace for an outing!"

Feng Xi nodded slightly in agreement, then walked lightly to the cabinet, scanning the dazzling array of clothes inside, and finally selected an elegant blue casual dress. The color of this dress was like the new leaves in early spring, fresh and natural.

Feng Xi then called over her maid and softly instructed, "Just help me put my hair into a simple bun and secure it with a silver hairpin." The maid nodded in understanding and began to work swiftly. Soon, a simple yet elegant bun was complete. The silver hairpin shimmered faintly among the black hair, adding a touch of brilliance to the look.

After all, this was a trip out of the palace, so it wasn't appropriate to dress too extravagantly. This simple and elegant look would not only appear more low-key, but also less likely to draw too much attention. After all preparations were complete, Ying Zheng happened to be returning from court.

As soon as he entered the room, Ying Zheng asked, "Xixi, are you ready?"

At this time, the maid beside her hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen has not yet had breakfast!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown. He was about to order the servants to bring the meal, but was stopped by Feng Xi: "No need to be so troublesome. I can just fill my stomach with some cakes first. Let's go directly to Yuelai Restaurant later, so we can have a chance to taste the cooking skills of their chef!" Seeing Feng Xi's firm attitude, Ying Zheng no longer forced her. He turned around and asked the maid to prepare some more exquisite and delicious cakes to take away.

After everything was arranged, Ying Zheng walked out of the palace with Feng Xi. At this time, Meng Tian, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, saw Ying Zheng and his sister appear, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, bowing respectfully and saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I have been waiting here for a long time. May I lead the way for you two?" Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then the three of them walked together towards the Yuelai Restaurant, chatting and laughing. Along the way, the street scenery was picturesque, and the pedestrians were bustling. Feng Xi looked curiously at the various shops selling goods on both sides of the street, her eyes flashing with excitement, as if every shop was an unknown treasure waiting for her to explore. Ying Zheng noticed that Feng Xi was so interested, and secretly decided in his heart that he would take her out to play often in the future so that she could fully enjoy the prosperity and bustle of this world.
