Hua Xiangrong looked at Zang Feng and gave him a look that said he was an idiot. She said disdainfully, "Do you think I'm an idiot? That bitch's skills aren't that great, but her internal strength is amazing. I can still gain the upper hand in a few moves, but if we really faced each other, I'd probably be brutally beaten."

As she spoke, she strapped the light crossbow to her wrist, straightened her clothes, and laughed, "Now that Hua Xiangrong of Lanyue Tower is dead, I am the future young mistress of the General's Mansion. As for my status, I'll trouble your spendthrift son to arrange one for me."

This spendthrift is really addicted to it; I wonder how Bai Jianan will feel when he hears it with his own ears.

Zang Feng didn't give her an answer, but grinned and said, "You've planned this quite well, but I don't understand what getting this status has to do with what you're like now?"

"You don't understand, do you? I've already said what I want to do, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like you. Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. You can go back and tell that good-for-nothing. I'm leaving now."

Zang Feng was taken aback: "Leave? Where are you going? Aren't you going to deal with Lan Yue Tower?"

Hua Xiangrong walked to the window, casually tossed her hair, and said disdainfully, "What arrangements? Everyone has been evacuated. What's left is just to give that dog prince a little treat."

After Hua Xiangrong finished speaking, she had already passed through the window. Suddenly, an extremely thin steel wire shot out from her sleeve, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant. When Cang Feng walked to the window of the bed, he saw that Hua Xiangrong had already disappeared.

"Brother Xiao Yi, when are we going back to the Northwest?"

He Xinle sat opposite Chu Tianyi, staring at his profile with fascination. He watched Chu Tianyi sit quietly, his eyes fixed on the dagger in his hand, a cloth in his other hand, slowly wiping the blade.

He Xinle's question had no effect on him at all; he continued what he was doing as if he hadn't heard it.

He Xinle wasn't angry, but continued, "This capital city is indeed fun, and much more prosperous than the Northwest, but it's also too chaotic. This faction and that faction, it's disgusting to look at."

"Look, even this young lady is being chased for no reason. If I stay here long enough, do you think someone will also be chasing me?"

Chu Tianyi paused when He Xinle mentioned Jian Yue, glanced at He Xinle out of the corner of his eye, and calmly said, "If you're annoyed, you can go back directly. No one is stopping you."

He Xinle immediately looked sad and looked at Chu Tian with a wronged expression: "But I can't bear to part with you. And now that you're standing up for the young lady, what if those bad guys target you? I'm here to protect you."

She said that, but she was actually very upset inside.

She just couldn't understand it. Compared to Jian Yue, she wasn't that bad, so why didn't her little brother like her? She had been so shameless, but it was still the same as before, and it had no effect whatsoever.

Chu Tianyi was determined to follow Jian Yue's path, and nothing could sway her. Sometimes she really wanted to kill Jian Yue so that Chu Tianyi would always keep his eyes on her.

However, she had never killed anyone, and the young woman had been very kind to her, so she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Chu Tianyi didn't continue talking to He Xinle. After wiping his dagger, he got up and walked to He Xinle's side. He Xinle thought that Chu Tianyi had finally been moved by her, and happily got up, looking at Chu Tianyi with a smile in her eyes. But then Chu Tianyi suddenly reached out, grabbed her by the collar, dragged her to the door, and threw her out like trash. Then he slammed the door shut.

He Xinle stood at the door, disheveled in the wind, tears streaming down his face.

But after a short while, she suddenly smiled again.

The older boy hit her, even though he was just carrying her clothes, but it was still an improvement compared to before, wasn't it?

Immediately, she stood at the door, dancing with joy.

"No, I should capitalize on this momentum and press my advantage, but what should I do next? Right, I should go find a girl; she'll definitely know."

He Xinle skipped and hopped excitedly to the General's Mansion, but was stopped by a woman in red on the way.

He Xinle looked at the woman and asked curiously, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

Yipin Hong quietly looked at He Xinle and smiled, "I've long heard that all the princesses of this Uncrowned City are beauties. Now that I've seen them, I can confirm that the rumors are true."

He Xinle smiled and crossed his arms smugly, saying, "That's right. I didn't expect our Uncrowned City to be so famous. You're so eloquent, so I'll reluctantly listen to what you're trying to do by stopping me here."

Yipin Hong smiled, took a few steps forward, and approached He Xinle, saying, "Princess, you came to the capital city in hiding your identity. I'm afraid you didn't get permission from the Emperor of Yue, did you?"

He Xinle frowned immediately and said unhappily, "Is it any of your business?"

"Of course it's none of my business, but if I were to inform the Emperor that the Uncrowned City forged a travel document and entered the capital without authorization, I'm afraid the young lady's fate wouldn't be good!"

He Xinle's expression immediately changed, and wariness appeared in her innocent eyes. She said angrily, "You woman are so unreasonable! I don't even know you! How can you threaten me like this? How do you know that my travel document is fabricated? You can't just say things without evidence."

She felt a little guilty. In order to catch up with Chu Tianyi, she really didn't bring anything related to passing through customs, not even her seal or proof of identity.

However, as a proud princess, she would not allow anyone to threaten her like that. This had nothing to do with me being naive, but rather stemmed from her noble status and the pride that was ingrained in her bones.

She stared coldly at Yipinhong, her eyes even overflowing with murderous intent.

Yipin Hong smiled again, lowered her head and said, "Princess, please calm down. I am here today for your own good. I am only saying this to warn you, not to tell the Emperor."

I know perfectly well why the princess has come, but my heart aches for her, tormented by love yet unable to be with the one she desires. That's why I've appeared to offer her guidance.

As she spoke, Yipinhong raised her eyes and looked at He Xinle, saying, "Princess, although the young prince came to the capital this time by imperial summons, he also has other purposes, am I right?"

He Xinle pouted and said sarcastically, "Oh, so you've come here to trick me into talking? I knew it. Why would anyone be so kind as to come and warn me? First you threatened me, then you tried to bribe me, and now you're trying to trick me into talking. You have quite a few motives."

"But do you think I'm stupid? Even if I don't understand anything, I know that there's no such thing as a free lunch. A woman I don't know suddenly appears in front of me, speaking languages ​​I don't understand. If there's no conspiracy, I'll eat shit for you."

He Xinle's words were crude, and Yipin Hong frowned slightly, saying, "Princess, your words are far too vulgar. How can you win a man's heart with such language? Could it be that these were given to you by that woman from the General's Mansion?"

Mentioning Jian Yue, He Xinle's mind raced again. She winked at Yipin Hong and said, "This brings up other people again. What are you trying to do? I have things to do. If you don't have anything else to do, please move aside."

Poinsettia's expression changed: "Why is the princess in such a hurry? Why won't you listen to me? If the princess doesn't listen to me, I'm afraid she will regret it later. After all, it will affect the princess's feelings. The princess traveled thousands of miles to chase after her husband, which moved me, so I showed myself to continue the journey. The princess must not take my kindness for granted and treat me as a bad person. You should treat the bad person as a good sister."

"What are you trying to say by rambling on and on? When will you ever stop?"

He Xinle was getting impatient. She disliked this kind of verbal tactic the most. It was too time-consuming and mentally taxing. Only her father and brother could do such things. Every time she heard it, she was completely confused and wished she could leave their side immediately so she could not hear anything.

Seeing that He Xinle truly didn't understand her hints, Yipin Hong finally couldn't help but say directly, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. The little princess treats Shangguan Jianyue as a sister, but she doesn't know that Shangguan Jianyue and the little prince, the princess's sweetheart, are so affectionate. Doesn't the princess feel jealous, envious, or sad?"

He Xinle tilted his head, picked at his ear, and said disdainfully, "Is that all you're talking about? Isn't this something that's obvious? What good will it do you to break them up?"

If Yipin Hong said it was possible, He Xinle would definitely laugh it off as a joke.

She didn't know what kind of person Jian Yue was, but Chu Tianyi was just as stubborn as her. Once he set his mind on someone, he was like a fierce wolf, charging forward until he died.

That's why she didn't feel any jealousy towards Jian Yue even though Chu Tianyi was relentlessly pursuing her.

Unexpectedly, someone wanted to take advantage of this to make her deal with Jian Yue.

He Xinle may be a bit childish, but she's definitely not stupid. She can still distinguish right from wrong. Although she's extremely jealous of Jian Yue, she understands even more clearly that if she really harms Jian Yue, Chu Tianyi will not only not like her, but will also kill her with a single sword.

Thinking of this, He Xinle's eyes darted around, and he said, "What do you mean by this? Are you helping me deal with my love rival?"

Yipinhong smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why not? Princess, you should know that she is not only your rival in love, but also a stumbling block on my future path. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Princess, we should cooperate."

Upon hearing this, He Xinle frowned and asked, "So, the man who tried to assassinate her was one of yours?"

Poinsettia nodded, not bothering to hide it, and suddenly glared and gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger.

"That's right, it's just a pity that with the young prince's interference, I still couldn't kill her. But it doesn't matter now. She doesn't have to die. As long as we ruin her face, I believe our path ahead will be smooth."
