In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Xu Miao sneered upon hearing this, "Today, this princess still refuses to believe this. Princess, I'm going back to the mansion today. If you dare to stop me today, don't blame me. I will report to my father another day and have you all arrested!"

Xu Miao now really has the bearing of a princess. If Su Zhizhi were here, she would definitely look at Xu Miao with admiration.

As soon as Xu Miao finished speaking, the carriage started again and rushed straight towards the Seventh Prince's men in front of it.

Seeing Xu Miao insisting on his own way, the leader's face suddenly turned gloomy. He exchanged glances with the people behind him, and the next second, they all drew the long swords at their waists.

The horses were frightened and the carriage began to shake violently. Xu Miao, who was sitting in it, felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out of place.

But this bumpy feeling did not last long. Suddenly, the carriage braked suddenly and stopped in an instant. Then, the sound of something falling to the ground was heard.

Xu Miao's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the next second, a strong smell of blood came into the car through the curtains. The smell lingered at the tip of Xu Miao's nose. Xu Miao felt that he was about to vomit in the next second.

"Princess..." A Lian and Xiao He were accompanying Xu Miao, trembling and filled with fear about what was happening outside.

Not long after, the curtain was lifted by the leading man. He still looked at Xu Miao with a smile, "This beast was disobedient and actually frightened Your Highness. I took the initiative to deal with this ignorant beast on Your Highness's behalf. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

The moment the car curtain was lifted, Xiao He and A Lian subconsciously stood in front of Xu Miao, glaring at the man in front of them.

There were traces of blood on the man's face. Xu Miao looked outside through the gap between the two maids.

Sure enough, the white horse that pulled Xu Miao's cart was lying in a pool of blood, lifeless. That horse was Xu Miao's favorite, and he had picked it out himself. However, he did not expect that the white horse would die in front of Xu Miao so suddenly.

Xu Miao's eyes suddenly turned red and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You...you...are so outrageous! I am the current Princess Changle. You are so disrespectful. Do you really not want your own heads anymore?!" Xu Miao felt heartbroken. Looking at the people in front of her, her eyes were full of resentment.

But the man was still smiling and showed no respect for Xu Miao.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? We are only here to protect you, following your orders. This beast was disobedient, so we killed him. Your Highness, there is no need to be too sad about this."

"However, it's already this late, and His Highness the Seventh Prince is still waiting for Your Highness the Princess in the mansion. Your Highness the Princess should just follow me and the others back." After the man said this, the group of people behind him surrounded him.

Xu Miao closed his eyes tightly, then seemed to have made up his mind, and slowly got down from the carriage.

Xiao He and A Lian behind Xu Miao saw Xu Miao's actions and couldn't help but get anxious, "Your Highness! No!"

After saying that, the two wanted to run to Xu Miao's side, but Xu Miao stopped them.

"You two don't have to follow me! Now that I can't go back to the mansion, you two must go back and take care of the mansion for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xu Miao looked at A Lian and Xiao He steadily, his eyes full of indescribable emotions.

The two maids' tears instantly rolled down their cheeks, but even though they were extremely unwilling in their hearts, they did not want to disobey Xu Miao's order, so they had to retreat step by step.

However, the people behind the man surrounded the two maids, their eyes full of fear.

Seeing this, Xu Miao sneered, "Why, you won't even let go of the two maids around this princess, right? Your Seventh Prince should just say that you should take this princess back. What does it have to do with the other people around the princess?"

"If you dare to attack them, don't blame me for fighting you to the death! Xiao Qi may not do anything to me, but it's hard to say whether you will still be alive in this world."

Xu Miao's words plunged the group of people in front of him into deep thought. After a long moment, the leading man, with a gloomy face, waved his hand and said, "Let them go."

"Brother..." Some people seemed unwilling to give in and wanted to persuade him again, but when they met the man's gloomy eyes, they dared not say anything. They could only step back a few steps angrily and make way for the two men.

Seeing A Lian and Xiao He escape safely, Xu Miao's heart finally settled down.

Seeing this, the man said solemnly, "It's getting late. Your Highness, please go with me and the others."

Xu Miao glanced at the few people with disdain, then walked forward on his own, no longer paying attention to what the man said.

The man was very angry when he saw Xu Miao's look, but because of Xu Miao's identity, the man endured it again and again and still did not dare to take action. He could only follow behind with frustration.

Fortunately, Xu Miao did not cause any trouble along the way and returned to the Seventh Prince's mansion safely.

In the study, Xu Miao sat calmly in front of the Seventh Prince, not even looking up at him.

The Seventh Prince suppressed his anger and said to Xu Miao, "Royal Sister, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

But Xu Miao pretended not to hear these words at all and kept fiddling with his fingers. Until the Seventh Prince's patience was about to run out, Xu Miao raised his eyes and glanced at the Seventh Prince lazily.

"Xiao Qi, what do you think my royal sister can say? My royal sister would like to ask you, when did you become so bold as to let the people around you attack me, huh?" Xu Miao usually looked like a very easy-going person, but if he really got angry, few people would be able to bear it.

The Seventh Prince clenched and unclenched his hands repeatedly before calming himself down and saying, "Shen Wenjun escaped. Can you swear that you have nothing to do with this?"

Hearing the Seventh Prince mention Shen Wenjun, Xu Miao was furious. He sneered at the Seventh Prince and said, "Seventh Prince, whether Shen Wenjun's affairs are related to me or not, he is not someone you can deal with casually. Shen Wenjun is an important official of the dynasty, and royal children are not allowed to attack officials lightly. If your actions were to reach the ears of the emperor, would it be considered... treason?"

"Are you threatening me, sister?" After hearing what Xu Miao said, the Seventh Prince's face suddenly turned gloomy and his voice became sinister. It was obvious that he didn't want to pretend with Xu Miao anymore.

"I don't dare to take the threat seriously, but, Xiaoqi, you'd better be clear about what you are doing now." Xu Miao drank the tea slowly, without any tension or fear of entering a den of wolves and tigers.
