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

Huo Jingxuan froze for a moment, then ordered Bei Ying, "Tell her to wait in the front hall!"

"Yes!" Bei Ying acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Jiang Xi also sat up from the bed, wrapped in a thin blanket.

Looking at Huo Jingxuan's cold, hard face, she wondered how much he truly loved Yang Xuerou.

"What do you think Yang Xuerou will think if I just walk out like this and she sees me?"

As she spoke, she released her grip on the thin blanket, letting it slide down her shoulders, revealing herself wearing only a pink gauze dress.

The gauze dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, loosely draped over the shoulders, unable to even cover the red marks on the chest and neck, while the bright red bodice further fueled the imagination.

Jiang Xi got out of bed barefoot, ready to open the door and go out!

Huo Jingxuan grabbed her hand and pulled her back forcefully.

"No nonsense!"

How could a princess like her leave his room dressed like that?

Jiang Xi curled her lips in a mocking smile. Huo Jingxuan really cared about Yang Xuerou's opinion of him.

"How am I being ridiculous? Didn't you, Imperial Uncle, arrest me and bring me to the Prince's Palace yourself?"

Jiang Xi leaned into Huo Jingxuan's arms and teasingly touched his chin with her fingers.

"What? Is your royal uncle afraid that I will defile him and Yang Xuerou will abandon you?"

"What are you babbling about?"

Huo Jingxuan grabbed Jiang Xi's mischievous little hand, squeezed it in his palm, and used so much force that he felt like he could crush her bones.

Then he slammed his head onto the bed and said coldly, "If you don't want to be locked up by me, you'd better behave yourself!"

Jiang Xi lay down on the bed and looked up at him, but he had already opened the door and left.

Jiang Xi returned to the servants' quarters on her own, and on the way, she encountered Yang Xuerou, who had not gone to the front hall but was waiting on the path outside Huo Jingxuan's bedroom.

In the late autumn, Jiang Xi didn't even have a thick coat to cover her body; she was only wearing the outer robe she had brought the night before.

Yang Xuerou didn't seem surprised by her appearance at the Regent's Palace, which suggests that Huo Jingxuan may have discussed it with her beforehand.

However, seeing Jiang Xi emerge from Huo Jingxuan's bedchamber with her own eyes, a crack appeared on Yang Xuerou's otherwise impeccable gentle face.

Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her subtly clenched fingers and slightly swaying body betrayed the hatred in her heart.

Granny Liu, along with Bai Lu and several maids, waited for Jiang Xi in the courtyard.

As soon as she entered, Bai Lu pushed her to the ground.

"Didn't you manage to climb into the prince's bed? Why are you back in this little courtyard? Could it be that the prince didn't give you a proper title?"

Bai Lu glared angrily, her face full of a sinister expression that seemed to be waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Jiang Xili suspected that Bai Lu actually liked Huo Jingxuan as well.

Otherwise, why would she have reacted so strongly to the fact that she climbed into Huo Jingxuan's bed?

"Exactly! How could a crow possibly become a phoenix just because it flies up to a branch? I advise you to stop daydreaming!"

Another maid, Shuangjiang, who was with Bailu, also stood up to speak in her defense.

She and Bai Lu entered the manor at the same time and held similar positions. They even addressed each other as sisters in private.

Jiang Xi braced herself with her hands behind her back, looking up at the two maids in front of her.

"What are you glaring at me for? Did we say something wrong? You have such a vixen-like face, and you still call yourself a princess? Is there any princess as shameless as you?"

As Bai Lu spoke, she stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Xi's hair, and was about to slap her.

Jiang Xi raised her foot and kicked her hard in the stomach!

"what!"

Bai Lu clutched her stomach and retreated repeatedly.

Seeing that her best friend had been wronged, Shuangjiang immediately rushed over, wanting to grab Jiang Xi's shoulders and beat her up.

Jiang Xi, however, rolled up her sleeve and bit her arm.

Jiang Xi was like a little wolf cub, his bites were extremely vicious, his teeth piercing through the flesh, almost tearing off a piece of Frostfall flesh.

Frost was in so much pain that it screamed and kicked, yelling, "Let go! Are you a dog?"

Jiang Xi didn't let up, so Liu Mama, who was behind her, picked up a wooden stick from the courtyard and attacked her from behind.

A stick slammed into Jiang Xi's shoulder.

"Well!"

Jiang Xi groaned and swayed. Shuang Jiang took the opportunity to pull her hand out of her mouth and kicked her hard in the shoulder.

Jiang Xi fell to the ground, quietly gripping a stone beside her.

Granny Liu dragged her wooden stick to her, pointed at her, and said condescendingly.

"To tell you the truth, we've been ordered to torture you!"

"The higher-ups? Who? Huo Jingxuan?"

Jiang Xi's eyes relaxed, but she tightened her grip on the stone, just as Granny Liu swung her stick, intending to strike her again.

She suddenly leaped up and smashed the stone in her hand down hard on Granny Liu's head.

"Bang!"

Granny Liu staggered as Jiang Xi hit her.

However, because the stone was too small and Jiang Xi's strength was limited, he could only manage to smash a small wound the size of a fingernail on Liu Mama's forehead with all his might.

Granny Liu covered her forehead, blood flowing down between her fingers, leaving Bailu and Shuangjiang dumbfounded.

Is this newcomer some kind of tiger? He even dares to hit an old servant like Granny Liu from the Prince's mansion?

But after years of biding his time and plotting diligently, Jiang Xi finally realized his mistake after all his efforts had failed.

She couldn't outsmart these ancient people, so she gave up.

Instead of wasting your own time, go crazy and provoke others!

The simplest way to expose any conspiracy or trickery is to take direct action.

If you can win, fight back on the spot; if you can't win, find an opportunity to use underhanded tactics to fight back.

In short, just don't give him any face!

"Granny Liu, are you alright? Guards! The newcomer is rebelling!"

Bai Lu was the first to react, grabbing Liu Mama who was wincing in pain and shouting at the guards outside the courtyard.

A moment later, seven or eight servants rushed in, two of whom twisted Jiang Xi's arms and forced her to kneel on the ground.

"Throw this brat into the water tank. You can only pull her out when she admits her mistake!"

Granny Liu, with one hand on her forehead and the other pointing at Jiang Xi, roared out the order.

"No need, I'll admit my mistake right now, Granny Liu, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Just as the two guards were about to make their move, Jiang Xi spoke up.

This……

Granny Liu was also stunned; she had never seen such a shameless person.

"Admitting your mistake won't help. Throw her in there and freeze her for two hours!"

The next second, Jiang Xi was picked up by the two servants and thrown into the water vat filled with water in the courtyard with a splash!

The water in late autumn was freezing cold, and Jiang Xi was soaked to the bone as soon as she was thrown in.

After she finally managed to struggle to her feet, the guards next to her pushed her down again.

After several repetitions, Jiang Xi became angry, grabbed the wrist of one of the servants, and pulled him in as well.

Another servant tried to come to the rescue, but Jiang Xi used the same method as before and pulled him into the water vat as well.

The three people struggled and fought inside the water tank, causing more than half of the water to overflow.

"you you……"

When Granny Liu saw that after the two servants struggled to climb out, the water in the vat only reached Jiang Xi's knees, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
