Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.
Chapter 26 You want to abandon me and elope with this kid?
Han Chuan was a step too slow. Jiang Xi and the others had already ridden through the city gate and turned onto a rarely used path outside the city.
After running for about half a day, and confirming that the pursuers were not going to catch up for the time being, the three of them stopped in a small grove of trees.
Jiang Xi dismounted, walked up to Huo Jingxuan, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, your mission is complete. You can go back now!"
"Go back? Go back where? Aren't you my wife? You don't want to abandon me!"
Huo Jingxuan grabbed Jiang Xi's sleeve, giving her a look that said, "Don't even think about using me and then discarding me."
Jiang Xi was immediately at her wit's end.
"I'm not trying to abandon you, but you're a prince, how can you come with me to Anyang? What will happen to the world if you leave?"
"Didn't you say yourself that I'm just a prince? Isn't there still an emperor ruling this world?"
Honestly, are you trying to dump me and elope with this guy?
Huo Jingxuan, who has lost his memory, has an inexplicable stubbornness.
Jiang Xi looked speechless: "He's just my bodyguard!"
Huo Jingxuan gripped even tighter: "Aren't there plenty of stories in operas where the wives of high-ranking officials elope with their bodyguards?"
Jiang Xi stared at him with wide eyes: "Are you really suffering from amnesia, or are you faking it?"
"I've lost my memory, not become stupid. If you dare to cheat on me, I'll kill this pretty boy right now!"
As Huo Jingxuan spoke, he drew his long sword from his waist and pressed it against Lu Ye's neck, who was coming towards him to try and break up the fight.
"Hey hey hey hey, you..."
Jiang Xi quickly grabbed Huo Jingxuan's arm to stop him from going crazy.
"Fine, fine, you can come along if you want!"
Anyway, she's delirious with alcohol, so at worst she can just give him some more when she estimates the effects of the drug are wearing off.
We'll figure out a way to get rid of him later!
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Huo Jingxuan sheathed his sword, but Lu Ye still looked at him with a cold expression.
Lu Ye suggested, "Let's walk a little further. It's getting dark, let's find an inn to stay at."
Otherwise, in the middle of nowhere, you could easily encounter danger!
“That makes sense. Let’s get on our horses and continue on our way!” Jiang Xi agreed.
Before nightfall, the three arrived at a small town called Heye County.
The town is rather remote, with only one inn on the main street, and it's not a town that's a necessary stop on the way to the capital, so there aren't many customers.
"Boss, give us three superior rooms!"
Jiang Xi walked to the counter, spoke to the shopkeeper, and slapped a tael of silver in front of him.
The shopkeeper, seeing the silver, grinned from ear to ear: "Please follow me, gentlemen!"
"Wait!"
Huo Jingxuan reached out and blocked Jiang Xi.
"Two rooms are enough. Aren't we husband and wife? Let him sleep alone!"
Ah this?
Jiang Xi was a little confused, but the shopkeeper next to her, who was very perceptive, chimed in to help.
"Yes, yes, no married couple sleeps in separate rooms. But who is this young man?"
He was asking Lu Ye, since he had seen many couples going out together, but he had rarely seen a couple going out with a man.
"he is……"
"He is a servant in my household!"
Jiang Xi was about to speak when Huo Jingxuan interrupted her.
"I see. You gentlemen, please follow me!"
The shopkeeper suddenly realized what was happening and then warmly led them upstairs.
The shopkeeper led the way, with Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan walking behind him, and Lu Ye bringing up the rear.
Huo Jingxuan was very tall, and Jiang Xi only reached his shoulder. She wanted to whisper something to him, so she had to tilt her head towards him.
"Could you please stop calling Lu Ye a servant? It sounds awful. You could call him a bodyguard instead!"
Huo Jingxuan raised an eyebrow: "Aren't bodyguards just servants?"
"You!" Jiang Xi was speechless for a moment. How could this person still be so annoying even after losing his memory?
Lu Ye behind him didn't seem to care much about how he was addressed.
Huo Jingxuan was, after all, the powerful regent. In his eyes, apart from the emperor, everyone else was probably his servant!
He walked at the back, his eyes warily scanning the entire layout of the inn.
He knew exactly how many floors the inn had, how many rooms were on each floor, and where the exit was.
The innkeeper led them up to the second floor, around a staircase, and pushed open a door.
"Young master and madam, would you like to stay in this top-tier room number one?"
Jiang Xi entered and looked around. She felt that although the room was not as good as the inns in the capital, it was still clean and tidy.
So he nodded, pointed at Lu Ye, and asked, "Okay, what about him?"
The shopkeeper secretly glanced at Huo Jingxuan's expression, wanting to hear his opinion.
It's no wonder he wanted to see what Huo Jingxuan meant; Huo Jingxuan's aura of authority was simply too strong.
Therefore, the shopkeeper thought that Huo Jingxuan was the one who made the decisions among the three of them.
"I live right next door to you!"
Huo Jingxuan didn't speak, but Lu Ye spoke first.
Huo Jingxuan and the innkeeper both looked at him, after all, what servant would choose a room on their own?
Lu Ye explained, "Living next door is for the safety of you and your wife!"
Actually, he had some suspicions that he didn't tell Jiang Xi. On the way out of the capital, he always felt like he was being followed.
Moreover, there is likely more than one group of people following them.
These people seem to have received professional training, and the reason they haven't acted hastily is likely that they are waiting for the right opportunity.
The innkeeper mistakenly thought that Lu Ye felt his inn was unsafe, and quickly explained, "Don't worry, this is an inn, not a shady business!"
"Do as he says!" Jiang Xi said directly.
"This..." The shopkeeper still looked up at Huo Jingxuan's expression, afraid that Huo Jingxuan would not give him the money.
Jiang Xi noticed the shopkeeper's concerns and took out another tael of silver from his waist and tossed it to the shopkeeper.
"The money is with me. He's just my husband who married into my family. He'll do as I say!"
The shopkeeper was almost shocked. How could such a handsome and distinguished man be a live-in son-in-law?
Tsk tsk, he really is blind.
"Yes!" The shopkeeper's gaze towards Huo Jingxuan instantly became subtle.
"Also, prepare some food and bring it to the room!" Jiang Xi continued to give instructions.
"Yes!" The shopkeeper withdrew, giving Huo Jingxuan a look of utter disdain as he left.
"That's great! Dare you call me a live-in son-in-law?"
"Sigh, don't be angry yet, you were born to be a son-in-law!"
Jiang Xi raised her hand to block Huo Jingxuan's hand when he reached out to pinch her face.
Huo Jingxuan stood outside, looking at her with a hint of doubt, wanting to hear her explanation.
Jiang Xi cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "Your name is Huo Jingxuan, right? What's my name? My name is Jiang Xi."
What is the emperor's name? The emperor's name is Jiang Gu. I am a princess, of noble birth, and a member of the imperial family.
"You only became a prince because you married into my family!"
"Pfft!" Lu Ye, who was standing to the side, almost choked on his own saliva.
amount……
This seems quite reasonable...
"You are a princess, shouldn't I be your husband, the prince consort?"
Huo Jingxuan narrowed his eyes and quickly noticed the clue in Jiang Xi's words.
Jiang Xi shamelessly waved her little hand: "Then don't worry about it. Anyway, I am the one with the imperial surname. So tell me, am I bigger or are you bigger?"
"you!"
Huo Jingxuan couldn't find a reason to refute this time, and reluctantly said...
Jiang Xi clapped her hands: "Ah, that's right, so even though I'm your wife, you have to listen to me!"
