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

Huo Jingxuan walked up to her and looked at her through the fence.

His gaze was as deep as a black pool, as if he wanted to drown you in it.

"Have you figured out how to die?"

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Xi's mind, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"I at least call you Imperial Uncle, and I only slept with you, I didn't harm you, do you really have to take my life?"

Surprisingly, Huo Jingxuan did not react with the same disgust he usually felt towards her foul language.

Instead, he calmly looked down at her and said, "It's not impossible to live!"

Jiang Xi's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked, "What are the conditions?"

She didn't believe Huo Jingxuan would suddenly be so easy to talk to, so there must have been prior conditions for letting her go.

Huo Jingxuan hadn't expected her to know him so well, so he said seriously, "Hand over the Cold Crow Token!"

Upon hearing this, the hope in Jiang Xi's eyes gradually faded away.

The Raven Society was an intelligence organization that the Emperor had painstakingly established after many years of hard work.

The Raven Token is the sole token that governs the Raven Society.

Huo Jingxuan's demand for him to hand over the Cold Crow Token was tantamount to asking him to give up his elder brother's years of hard work.

"In the end, you still want me dead. How could my brother entrust something so important to me?"

Huo Jingxuan watched her quietly. This girl always liked to look down when she felt guilty.

"You are the person Jiang Ji trusts the most. The outcome of the palace coup is still uncertain, and he would definitely leave himself a way out!"

Jiang Xi raised her head and looked at Huo Jingxuan with a smile in her eyes.

"Well, if you don't believe me, Uncle, feel free to search me yourself. If you find anything, it's yours!"

Huo Jingxuan's expression changed instantly upon hearing such blatant flirting.

"You think I don't dare?"

Jiang Xi curled her lip in disdain: "You've already slept with them, what's there to be afraid of?"

Huo Jingxuan waved his hand, signaling Han Chuan to open the cell door. He strode forward, grabbed Jiang Xi's arm, and dragged her out.

"Where are you taking the princess?"

Lu Ye, who was standing nearby, hurriedly tried to stop him, but Han Chuan grabbed his arm, twisted it behind his back, and pressed him against the wall.

Huo Jingxuan dragged Jiang Xi all the way back to his bedroom and forcefully threw her onto the bed.

After a brief moment of panic, Jiang Xi regained her composure.

"Uncle, you really can't wait!"

Huo Jingxuan glared at him angrily: "Are you truly unafraid of death? Or are you so certain that I, the king, cannot bear to kill you?"

Jiang Xi recalled the two poisoned arrows, her eyes darkening: "I am willing to hand over the Crow Token in exchange for my life. I hope you will keep your word, Imperial Uncle!"

Huo Jingxuan looked at Jiang Xi with a wary gaze.

Jiang Xi knew he didn't believe she would change her mind, so she said...

"I've hidden the Crow Token in a secret place. If you really want it, come with me to get it!"

"You're not up to some kind of trick, are you?" Huo Jingxuan still didn't believe her.

"What tricks could I possibly play in my current state? Does my royal uncle think I have the ability to fly or disappear into the earth?"

Huo Jingxuan also felt that his vigilance came somewhat inexplicably.

Aside from her skill in using poison, Jiang Xi has almost no other abilities, so why should I be afraid of her?

"Alright! I'll go with you!"

Seeing that Huo Jingxuan had agreed, Jiang Xi made another request: "After you obtain the Cold Crow Token, please keep your promise and spare my life!"

"My word is my bond, and I will certainly not go back on my word!"

Jiang Xi pretended not to believe it.

"Then let Lu Ye come with us. If you change your mind later, at least someone will protect me!"

Huo Jingxuan sneered: "Lu Ye can't even beat Han Chuan, how can he protect you?"

Jiang Xi glanced at him sideways: "Never mind that, he's the only one I have right now!"

Huo Jingxuan suppressed his displeasure and said, "As you wish!"

Half an hour later, Lu Ye was brought out.

The Prince's Palace also assembled a troop of soldiers, led by Han Chuan, who followed behind Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan's carriage and set off in a grand procession.

"There is a house in the south of the city that my elder brother bought when he was alive. He didn't use his real identity, so no one knows about it."

We would usually go there quietly to discuss things. The last time I met my elder brother, he entrusted me with the Cold Crow Token for safekeeping.

I've hidden it in the most secret place in the Buddhist hall. When we get there, I'll take it out and give it to you.

"Prepare horses and travel expenses for me, and I promise I will never enter the capital again!"

As the carriage swayed, Jiang Xi spoke to Huo Jingxuan.

"As long as you are willing to hand over the Raven Token, I will arrange everything for you!"

Huo Jingxuan leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, his left and right hands clasped in front of him, dressed in black with gold thread, exuding composure and nobility.

A short while later, the carriage stopped, and the attendant lifted the curtain, allowing Huo Jingxuan to bend down and get out.

Jiang Xi jumped down as well, leading Huo Jingxuan, Lu Ye, and a large group of people inside.

The house wasn't very big, and it felt a bit cramped when everyone was gathered in the courtyard.

With the Buddhist hall right in front of them, Jiang Xi turned to Huo Jingxuan and made a suggestion.

"Let Lu Ye come in with us, the rest of you stay outside!"

"No, Your Highness, this girl is cunning. Let me go with you!"

Han Chuan immediately responded.

"Does Lord Hanchuan think that Lu Ye and I can sprout wings and fly away?" Jiang Xi retorted.

"You stay here and guard all the exits with your men!" Huo Jingxuan ordered.

"Yes!" Han Chuan immediately went to make arrangements.

Jiang Xi led Huo Jingxuan and Lu Ye to push open the door of the Buddhist hall.

The Buddhist hall enshrines a statue of Shakyamuni, and incense is burning on the shrine. Two prayer cushions are placed in front of it.

As soon as Jiang Xi stepped inside, it was as if she saw herself and her brother kneeling before the Buddha making a wish.

However, in the blink of an eye, everything turned to dust and vanished with the wind.

"Close the door. This is a quiet place for my brother and me, and we don't want to be disturbed!"

Jiang Xi said to Lu Ye behind her.

Lu Ye accepted the order and closed the door of the Buddhist hall.

Once the door was closed, the light in the Buddhist hall became somewhat dim.

Huo Jingxuan didn't think the two people in front of him could pose any threat to him, so he stood calmly to the side.

Jiang Xi first offered three sticks of incense to the gods and Buddhas, then got up and walked to the Buddha statue, trying to lift it up a little.

But the Buddha statue was gilded and extremely heavy; she couldn't lift it with her limited strength.

"Uncle, can you come and help me?" Jiang Xi asked Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Jingxuan didn't move, so Lu Ye volunteered: "I'll do it!"

Jiang Xi let go and let Lu Ye lift it, but for some reason, the Buddha statue was very heavy, and even Lu Ye had a lot of trouble lifting it.

"The 'Cold Crow Token' is hidden beneath the immortals; could you lend a hand, Imperial Uncle?"

Jiang Xi stepped back to Huo Jingxuan's side and asked.

Huo Jingxuan stepped forward and began to help Lu Ye move the statue.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Xi took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and raised her hand to wipe Huo Jingxuan's sweat, but Huo Jingxuan grabbed her wrist.

"What?"

As soon as Huo Jingxuan let go, the Buddha statue, which had been lifted up slightly, fell back to its original position.

If Lu Ye hadn't reacted quickly enough, his fingers would have been crushed underneath.
