Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

The night was as dark as ink, and the light of day was dim.

The usually quiet entrance to the Jade Palace was now surrounded by heavily armored soldiers.

The leader was dressed in silver-white armor, his body imposing, his right hand resting on the longsword at his waist, his voice booming like a bell.

"The Regent disappeared seven days ago. We are ordered to search every corner of the palace. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber of the Jade Palace.

Jiang Xi, the least favored seventh princess of the Great Yu Dynasty, stood beside the white jade bed, dressed in a long, flowing red dress.

With her beautiful phoenix eyes lowered, her slender fingertips lightly brushed against the naked, muscular chest of the man on the bed.

"Your Royal Uncle is truly valiant; you took this princess seven times last night!"

The man lying on the bed wore a dark silk robe, his chest wide open, revealing his bare muscles covered in ambiguous red marks.

His jet-black hair was spread out on the pillow beneath him, making his already thick eyebrows and eyes appear even more profound.

He is Huo Jingxuan, the regent of the Great Yu Dynasty, second only to the emperor, the sworn brother of the current emperor, and Jiang Xi's nominal uncle.

At this moment, Jiang Xi drugged him and used millennia-old cold iron to lock his limbs, trapping him on the white jade bed in the secret chamber of the Jade Palace.

"Jiang Xi, I am your royal uncle, and I am about to marry Xue Rou. How can you do this to her?"

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with intense anger.

Yang Xuerou is Jiang Xi's mother's half-sister, and is only eight years younger than Jiang Xi.

After Jiang Xi's mother passed away, her origins were questioned, and she was sent back to the Yang family to be raised by the current emperor.

He spent a long time living with Yang Xuerou.

Everyone knows that during this time, her aunt Yang Xuerou took great care of her and treated her like her own daughter!

"It's you, Imperial Uncle, who should feel sorry for her. What does it have to do with me? Last night, it was you who held me back and begged me to leave, no matter how many times you did it!"

A sneer appeared on Jiang Xi's lips.

"Shut up! Jiang Xi, believe me or not, I'll kill you as soon as I get out of here!" Huo Jingxuan roared.

"Then you have to be able to get out of here first!" Jiang Xi covered her mouth and giggled.

She reached out and hooked Huo Jingxuan's chin, then kissed his blood-red lips.

But Huo Jingxuan turned his head away with a look of disgust, and his cherry lips landed on his cheek.

"My elder brother will soon launch a palace coup, and before long, he will ascend the throne with the imperial edict."

When the time comes, I'll have him give you to me, and I can do whatever I want with you.

Or, shall I take you back to the fun of last night?

"Get away from me, don't touch me!" Huo Jingxuan stared intently at the woman in front of him.

His entire body radiated a strong sense of resistance.

If he weren't currently under the control of drugs and hadn't lost all his internal strength...

He would definitely break free of the black iron chains without hesitation, pounce on her, and snap Jiang Xi's neck.

"What's with all this talk of chastity and fidelity? You really like that bitch Yang Xuerou that much? So much that you'd remain chaste for her?"

The mockery in Jiang Xi's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by utter dissatisfaction.

"What's so great about Yang Xuerou? She's just good at disguising herself, isn't she? You've all been fooled by her!"

"I never imagined you hated Xue Rou so much, which is why you deliberately approached me before."

She deliberately pretended to be submissive and extremely weak.

Is she also trying to gain my sympathy so she can use it against me?

"So what!"

Jiang Xi answered very frankly.

She hated Yang Xuerou, who not only caused the death of the original owner of her body.

She also caused everyone to hate her, leading to her living a life worse than that of pigs and dogs in the Yang family for ten years.

Shouldn't we hate them?

Yes, Jiang Xi is a 21st-century college student with the same name as the original owner who transmigrated into this body.

When she arrived, the original owner was only six years old, had just lost her mother, and her background was being questioned.

The current emperor—or rather, back then he was just a carefree Prince Duan who needed assistance.

Prince Duan didn't want to admit that he had been cuckolded, but he also didn't want to lose the Yang family as an ally.

So she found an excuse to send her back to the Yang family. The first thing Yang Xuerou did upon seeing her was to secretly push her into the lake.

Jiang Xi transmigrated into the body of the original owner, who was now dead or alive.

At first, Jiang Xi thought, "How could a college student like me be no match for a group of people who have long since passed away?"

But later, reality proved her wrong; she simply couldn't win.

They couldn't defeat the current emperor, who was frail, sickly, and suspicious!

He couldn't outmaneuver his maternal grandfather, a master strategist and power-hungry official!

She couldn't even beat Yang Xuerou, an elegant young lady raised in a prestigious family!

Don't think that today's college students are anything special, that they can defy fate and change their destiny just by time-traveling.

If all the ancients were fools, their country would have perished and their race would have been wiped out long ago!

So Jiang Xi began to bide his time and show weakness to everyone he met, all in order to seize the opportunity and strike back one day!

"Good, very good, Jiang Xi, you are the first person in this world to dare to use me. I will never let you go!"

Huo Jingxuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Jiang Xi believed that he could keep his word.

The current emperor was not the eldest son of the late emperor, and his name was not written in the edict of succession when the late emperor passed away.

It was the young general Huo Jingxuan who led troops to surround the palace, killed the crown prince, and altered the imperial edict.

That night, he buried alive more than three hundred palace attendants and ministers who were under imperial orders.

He dared to kill even a veteran of three dynasties, so how could he possibly care about a mere unfavored little princess?

However, Jiang Xi wasn't afraid of him at the moment, and even bent down in a good mood.

"Oh? How do you want me to die—indulging in lust and living a life of debauchery?"

After speaking, she removed the veil, pulled out her hairpin, and bit it in her mouth, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Huo Jingxuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hands, bound by the black iron chains, clenched into fists.

He wanted to kill her; he was determined to kill this woman!

The indoors was a scene of enchanting spring colors, while outside, footsteps hurried by.

Chun Tao, Jiang Xi's stand-in maid, stood with her hands at her sides across a palace door.

Speaking as calmly as possible: "Princess, Lord Han Chuan has brought men to search the Jade Palace!"

Inside the room, Jiang Xi paused, drawing the displeasure of the man beneath her, whose narrow, almond-shaped eyes flashed with an icy light.

"Well!"

Jiang Xi was momentarily stunned, and her body trembled violently.

Jiang Xi raised her shoulders, looked at the man beneath her, and gave a cold smile.

"Uncle, did you hear that? Your men have arrived!"

Huo Jingxuan gritted his teeth, his narrow, almond-shaped eyes bloodshot with rage: "You're dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chaotic chorus of footsteps came from outside. It was Huo Jingxuan's deputy general, Bei Ying, leading his men into the Jade Palace.

"Search carefully, leave no corner unchecked!"

Han Chuan's voice sounded very close!

Just as Huo Jingxuan was about to speak, Jiang Xi covered his mouth.

Her red lips pressed against the soft flesh behind Huo Jingxuan's ear: "Uncle, please don't make a sound!"

Otherwise, I possess a miraculous medicine that can render someone mute; would you like to try it, Imperial Uncle?
