Return of the Phoenix Lady

Han Xing stretched lazily on the couch, and walked out of the door amid the giggles of Mei Ye and Yi Rou. He saw a little eunuch standing alone outside the door, with his head lowered humbly, waiting quietly.

Hearing footsteps, the young eunuch immediately looked up and saw Han Xing lazily leaning against the door, looking boneless, with a lazy smile on his lips. Upon seeing this scene, the innocent young eunuch blushed immediately and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Han Xing again. He only said softly: "Master Qin, the princess invites you. Please follow me to the princess's palace." The low voice was less shrill and much more comfortable to listen to.

Han Xing nodded, walked out first, and said to the young eunuch who still lowered his head, "Let's go."

"Yes! Please come this way..." The young eunuch immediately and attentively led the way for Han Xing.

In this palace, which was of unknown size, Han Xing wandered around for at least half an hour before she was led by a young eunuch to the so-called Princess Palace - Xiyu Palace. It seemed that the old emperor really doted on Jin Xiyu, and even the palace was named after her maiden name.

The buildings within Xiyu Hall are even more extravagant; even the small planters are sprayed with gold. While there aren't many plants, there are many exquisite buildings and decorations. Inside the palace, there's a large artificial lake, flanked by willow trees and some fruit trees. The water is crystal clear, and the rounded pebbles at the bottom look clearly carved. Schools of koi fill the lake, a truly beautiful sight! In the center of the lake lies a lotus pad, and in the summer, when the pink lotus blossoms, the scenery is surely captivating.

Following the young eunuch, they came to a room guarded by a guard. The young eunuch walked forward and whispered a few words to the guard at the door, and the guard took the initiative to open the door.

The young eunuch also stepped aside and said to Han Xing, "Master Qin, please come in! The princess is waiting inside."

Han Xing looked inside the dark door, a strange emotion flashed through her mind. She shook her head, discarded unnecessary speculations, and walked straight in. No matter what the princess wanted to do, in front of her, the princess's actions were just like a clown, and had no effect on her.

As soon as I entered the dimly lit room, a rich aroma filled my nose. Wow! Is this the princess's boudoir? Otherwise, why would there be such a strong fragrance?

Just as she was thinking, the door was suddenly closed from the outside, and the room suddenly became darker. However, this had no effect on Han Xing. She walked straight to the table and sat down. She wanted to see what the princess was trying to do and respond to all changes with the same attitude.

Just as he was about to come, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the inner room. Han Xing was still sitting upright, waiting.

"Qin Wuyou..." Jin Xiyu finally couldn't help it, walked out and spoke.

Han Xing glanced at Jin Xiyu, only to see her walking towards him with light lotus steps and stopping beside the table.

"Is there something?" Han Xing asked directly without any hesitation. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with the princess.

Jin Xiyu's face darkened. Without further ado, she pointed at Han Xing angrily and shrieked, "How dare you! How dare you speak to this princess like that!"

Han Xing was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned his head away.

"You...you..." Jin Xiyu kept mumbling for a long time, unable to utter a single word. After a long silence, Jin Xiyu spoke again, her face stern and arrogant, "Qin Wuyou! This princess demands that you leave the Kingdom of Jin and never appear before me and Brother Qin again!"

Han Xing found it ridiculous and actually laughed out loud. When Jin Xiyu heard that she actually dared to laugh at her, her anger immediately flared up again. She angrily said, "Don't laugh! Is what I said ridiculous? Qin Wuyou, let me tell you, if it weren't for you being Brother Qin's younger brother, how could I possibly let you go? If you have any sense, take your people and get out of the Jin Kingdom!"

"So what if you don't leave?" Han Xing said lightly.

"Do you think this princess really can't do anything to you? Qin Wuyou, don't overestimate yourself. This is the imperial palace of the Jin Kingdom. My father's is the biggest palace, and my father loves me the most! Just be smart and leave by yourself. Otherwise, don't blame this princess for being cruel!" Jin Xiyu snorted coldly.

"Oh? I'd like to see how cruel you can be. But let me be frank first. My brother loves me very much. If you hurt me, he will definitely not be nice to you. And your father seems to value me very much too. If you insist on doing something, you don't know the consequences..." Han Xing chuckled and said coldly.

"You...Qin Wuyou! Do you really think that this princess can't do anything to you? Well! Just wait!" After saying that, the extremely angry Jin Xiyu went straight towards Han Xing. What was even more exaggerated was that she actually tore off her own clothes!

Jin Xiyu whispered to Han Xing, "Let me see how you explain this time!" Then she shouted loudly, "Ah! Help! Help! Someone come quickly!..."

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, the guards outside rushed in. As soon as they entered, they saw Han Xing and Jin Xiyu entangled in a mess. Everything was so coincidental! So ridiculous!

Soon, the news that the princess was molested in her bedroom spread throughout the entire Golden Palace, from the palace maids and eunuchs who did laundry and cooking to the extremely noble emperor and princes.

In the main hall of Xiyu Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting at the top with a dignified look on his face and a frown on his face. Beside him was the crying Jin Xiyu. Yingchen, as the brother and fiancé of the two parties involved, was sitting at the bottom. Han Xing stood straight in the center of the main hall with a calm expression.

Mei Ye and Yi Rou were standing in the right corner. After hearing Jin Xiyu's crying, they looked like they wanted to laugh but couldn't, with their mouths twitching. It was really hard for them.

Behind Han Xing, the two guards who broke into the door were still kneeling.

"Father! Father! You have to do something for Yu'er! Wuuwu~ My daughter's innocent body was almost...almost...wuuwu~" Jin Xiyu's face was covered with tears, and she looked at the emperor with great grievance. Her acting skills and level showed that she was a veteran!

Jin Bintian looked at his daughter's red eyes with some heartache. When he looked at Han Xing, there was a hint of anger in his eyes and he said, "Qin Wuyou, do you admit your guilt?"

Han Xing smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, what crime have I committed?"

"Father! Look at him! He...he actually refuses to admit it! Those two guards saw it with their own eyes, and you forced him... Woo woo~" Jin Xiyu blamed Han Xing.

"Isn't it inappropriate for Your Majesty to only listen to the princess's words? Those two guards are both the princess's people. If they want to slander me, I have nothing to say."

"What do you mean? Do you mean that this princess would disregard her own reputation and slander you?" Jin Xiyu became angry when she heard Han Xing say that.

"Isn't it?" Han Xing nodded, confirming the princess's words.

"You...you bastard! Woohoo~Father~" Jin Xiyu couldn't argue with Han Xing, so she had to ask Jin Bintian for help.

Jin Bintian asked, "Qin Wuyou, then tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"It's actually very simple. Today, the princess suddenly summoned me to her bedroom, and then she took off her clothes and rushed towards me. I didn't expect that this scene was seen by these two guards. It was a coincidence, and then there was a misunderstanding." Han Xing explained lightly.

"You're talking nonsense! Nonsense! It was clearly you who tried to take off my clothes by force. I called for help, and the guards outside the door rushed in!" Jin Xiyu shouted angrily after hearing Han Xing's explanation.

"That's exactly what I'm curious about. Why would the princess rush towards me while calling for help?" Han Xing shook his head, looking puzzled. Then he continued, "Besides, the princess is my brother's fiancée. My brother and I have a very good relationship. It's neither moral nor logical for me to harm the princess."

"That...that's because you admire this princess's beauty..."

"Beauty? If that's the case, it's better to say that the princess is attracted to my humble appearance, that's why..." Han Xing said this, and glanced at Jin Xiyu with disdain, as if to say, you think you are beautiful? Are you as beautiful as me? It's obviously you who coveted me, which is why you are so beastly!
