Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

"Ahhh!! This princess will definitely go to Emperor Dongli and lodge a complaint against you!!"

"You're nothing but a general's daughter, how dare you mistreat the envoys of Xipan! You're tired of living!!"

Tan Xin's screams echoed in the hall. Her face was flushed red with anger, and her eyes were wide open as she stared intently at Yang Jianwu, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Pu Yangxuan was annoyed by Tan Xin's noise. He rubbed his temples and groaned inwardly.

He originally wanted to explain the previous misunderstanding to Yang Jianwu, but Tan Xin kept rambling on and on, giving him no chance to speak.

"Brother Xuan has been respecting you for days, is that really true..."

Pu Yangxuan, unable to bear it any longer, roared at Tan Xin, "Shut up! If you howl again, I'll cut your tongue out!"

Tan Xin trembled with fright and obediently shut her mouth, not daring to utter another sound.

Yang Jianwu ignored Tan Xin and turned her gaze to Lord Tan, saying indifferently, "Lord Tan, did you hear what your daughter said? What do you think I should do?"

Before Lord Tan could reply, Yang Jianwu continued, "The young princess is wrongly accusing me of abusing her. So many people were there to see it. How can you make things up without evidence? I didn't even touch the hem of her clothes."

"Your Highness, speaking recklessly could kill someone!!"

Yang Jianwu's voice wasn't loud, but it exuded an air of authority.

The last few words were emphasized heavily; as for who it might harm... well, that depends on how you put it...

Lord Tan understood and nodded in assurance, "My daughter was just talking nonsense."

"Father!"

Tan Xin was indignant. Why did Brother Xuan have to protect Yang Jianwu? Even though they had a long-standing master-servant relationship, Brother Xuan was a prince and didn't need to please anyone!

And even her father, who usually dotes on her, is now siding with Yang Jianwu. Why?!

"Shen'er, shut up!!"

When Lord Tan saw that Tan Xin was about to talk back again, he quickly reprimanded her and bowed to Yang Jianwu to express his apology, "I hope Miss Yang will not take offense at my troubles today."

Then he turned and bowed to Puyang Xuan, "Third Prince, whatever your choice, you should return to Xipan with me this time. Your father and mother are still waiting for you, you should see them."

Tan Xin was secretly delighted. She knew her father loved her the most, and now the opportunity had come.

As long as Brother Xuan can go back to Xipan with them, she is confident that she can make Brother Xuan fall in love with her on the way. Then Brother Xuan will definitely never go back to Dongli again!

At first, she looked down on the Third Prince, whom she had never met. The last time she came to the General's Mansion, in addition to confirming the Third Prince's identity, she also wanted to explain the situation and hoped that the Third Prince could take the initiative to break off the engagement.

Unexpectedly... just one glance from Xuan Jun made her yearn for him day and night...

Just as Tan Xin was secretly making plans, Pu Yangxuan suddenly spoke up, "I don't know how..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Jianwu interjected, "Your Third Prince will go back with you!"

"Sword Dance..."

Puyang Xuan was stunned and looked at Yang Jianwu in disbelief, feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart. Did Jianwu really not want him anymore?

Yang Jianwu looked at Puyang Xuan expressionlessly, her eyes calm and undisturbed.

"You must go back!"

"Sword Dance..."

"Xipan did not conceal the news of the search for the lost prince. Now that he has been found, the world must be given an explanation."

As for the future, we'll see.

She respected all of Puyang Xuan's choices. No one is perfect; everyone has desires and wants, let alone when faced with the supreme throne.

Lord Tan felt relieved and finally showed his first smile since entering the General's Mansion. He looked at Yang Jianwu and said slowly, "Miss Yang is indeed sensible."

"Since the matter has been agreed upon, I will not disturb you any longer."

Yang Jianwu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Alright, Your Highness, please take care."

Lord Tan glanced at Tan Xin standing to the side, then turned his gaze to Yang Jianwu, the meaning in his eyes was clear—we are about to leave, it's time to let my daughter move freely.

"Miss Yang, Xin'er, she..."

Yang Jianwu pretended not to understand what Lord Tan meant, and continued to smile as she stood there waving to Lord Tan and the young princess.

“Lord Tan, please take the young princess back. I forgive the young princess.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Xin was furious, but just as he was about to lash out, a glare from Lord Tan silenced him.

Although she was favored, she dared not disobey her father's wishes.

"Someone, escort the young princess back to the post station."

Left with no other option, Lord Tan ordered his men to carry Tan Xin away.

Puyang Xuan suddenly called out to stop them, "Wait!"

The envoys carrying Tan Xin stopped at the sound and looked at Puyang Xuan with suspicion.

Pu Yangxuan walked quickly to Yang Jianwu's side and pointed at Tan Xin.

"I want to make things clear to her face!"

Lord Tan, unaware of the situation, asked in confusion, "I wonder what the Third Prince intends to say in front of my daughter?"

Yang Jianwu was also curious as to why Puyang Xuan was embracing Tan Xin. With so many people present, it seemed he really wanted to explain. So she gave him a chance.

"You said."

Puyang Xuan felt a surge of anger when he recalled that unpleasant memory.

Besides paying tribute, another mission of Lord Tan's visit to Dongli was to find their missing third prince.

Two days ago, Tan Xin took the initiative to come to the General's Mansion to find Pu Yangxuan, claiming that he knew his true identity and had a token to hand over.

Puyang Xuan didn't want outsiders to know, so he simply took Tan Xin back to his room to talk in detail, thus giving Tan Xin the opportunity.

Tan Xin stated that she came to confirm Pu Yangxuan's identity and presented Chanfei's jade pendant to him to acknowledge him.

Puyang Xuan held the jade piece inside and wanted to combine it with the outer piece in Tan Xin's hand to determine its authenticity.

Just as Tan Xin approached Pu Yangxuan to hand over the jade pendant, an unexpected incident occurred. Tan Xin accidentally stepped on her long dress and fell straight into Pu Yangxuan's body.

Puyang Xuan saw through Tan Xin's little tricks and disdained to play along. He decided to take the jade pendant regardless of whether Tan Xin would be injured.

He schemed against her, and Puyang Xuan's hand was about to touch the jade pendant when Tan Xin suddenly clutched it tightly to her chest.

This position is quite awkward; to get the jade pendant, one would inevitably have to touch Tan Xin's chest...

Ugh... Disgusting scheming woman!

So, Puyang Xuan used the hand that was snatching the jade pendant to support Tan Xin's arm, but Tan Xin was not satisfied and leaned to the other side.

Puyang Xuan was worried that the jade pendant would be damaged, so he had no choice but to hug the person.

As luck would have it, Yang Jianwu came looking for him and witnessed the most embarrassing scene... He washed his hands more than a dozen times afterward.

*

Puyang Xuan carefully tugged at Yang Jianwu's sleeve, looking extremely aggrieved.

"That's how it is, it's really not my fault..."

Yang Jianwu chuckled softly, "I know, I misunderstood you."

I was planning to go to a brothel tonight to see some young, handsome men, but I've decided against it now.
