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

"..."

Huo Jingxuan remained silent!

Although he had lost his memory, he was still unwilling to be inferior to others at heart.

"If you don't listen to me, then go back now. I'll come back to the capital after I've finished my business, and we'll get a divorce!"

Jiang Xi wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Huo Jingxuan to go back.

After all, if Han Chuan found out that he had run away with him, he would definitely send people to chase after him!

When Huo Jingxuan heard that Jiang Xi wanted to divorce him over such a trivial matter, he was furious but dared not speak out.

"I'll do whatever you say!"

Although he had lost his memory, he felt very familiar with Jiang Xi the moment he woke up in the bamboo hut.

The girl had captivating eyes and a smile that seemed to bring spring to his heart, making him feel as if she were the lover he had cherished for countless lifetimes.

Sure enough, the girl claimed to be his wife and even revealed his most private birthmark.

He knew that if you like someone, you can fall in love with them again and again.

The memories have faded, but the love remains!

Jiang Xi was surprised that Huo Jingxuan would agree.

After all, she knew all too well his arrogant personality; how could he possibly be willing to be controlled by a woman?

"Really?"

"Ok!"

Huo Jingxuan tucked his hands into his sleeves and turned his back to Jiang Xi.

"However, I have one request: in public places, you can't call me a son-in-law!"

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xi nodded knowingly: "I know, men care about their pride, so I agree!"

"Thank you, Madam!"

Huo Jingxuan turned around and bowed to Jiang Xi.

Husband... Madam?

The smugness on Jiang Xi's face vanished instantly.

dog man!

Don't be overly obedient to her when you have amnesia, and call her "Madam".

If her memory returns, she'll say she abducted innocent young men, so should she be executed by slow slicing?

A short while later, the innkeeper had the waiter bring over a table of food, and the three of them sat down to eat.

Lu Ye stopped them and took out silver needles to test each poison one by one.

Jiang Xi had wanted to ask earlier, and finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Is it necessary to be so cautious? Have you noticed something?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver needle in Lu Ye's hand turned black.

Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan exchanged a glance, their expressions changed drastically, and they even lowered their voices.

"Is this really a shady business?"

Lu Ye looked at Jiang Xi, who had wide eyes and looked somewhat dazed, and shook his head.

"That shouldn't be the case. We were followed as soon as we left the city! And there were at least two groups of people following us!"

"Two groups of people?" Jiang Xi was shocked.

It makes sense that Han Chuan sent people to chase after Huo Jingxuan after he was kidnapped by himself, but where did the other group of people come from?

Lu Ye glanced at Huo Jingxuan, who remained calm beside him, and then said another piece of news that was even harder for Jiang Xi to accept.

"Moreover, Lord Han Chuan and his group should not be among these two groups!"

Because mentioning the Prince's Mansion directly might arouse Huo Jingxuan's suspicion, Lu Ye only mentioned Han Chuan's name.

Huo Jingxuan has lost his memory and has no idea who Han Chuan is.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

If it were someone from the Regent's Palace, they would probably have already stormed in by now.

There's no way they would secretly poison him, since Huo Jingxuan would eat the food too!

Seeing that Jiang Xi had figured it out, Lu Ye asked cautiously, "Princess, is it absolutely necessary to go to Anyang?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time; Chun Tao was just a servant girl.

Although he and Jiang Xi have a childhood bond, it shouldn't make Jiang Xi so reckless, right?

Could it be that this little girl is hiding something more important than Jiang Xi's life?

Thinking of Chun Tao, pregnant and stranded in Anyang, Jiang Xi's eyes were filled with unwavering determination: "I must go!"

Chun Tao's pregnancy with the Emperor's child must not be known to anyone for the time being; she has no choice but to go find out herself.

Lu Ye understood Jiang Xi's attitude and nodded: "My life belongs to the princess, and I will go through fire and water for her."

These people will likely take action tonight; we need to be on high alert!

Jiang Xi nodded: "Okay!"

So no one dared to touch the food on the table, and they could only go back to their rooms to sleep hungry.

As soon as Lu Ye left, Huo Jingxuan asked, "Madam, why were those people chasing us?"

Jiang Xi just wanted to take a short break before the assassins came in.

The days of fleeing had left her somewhat exhausted, so she lay down on the bed, put her hands behind her head, and closed her eyes.

"I don't know, don't ask. If you don't want to sleep, just keep watch. Let me know if anyone comes in!"

It was only early evening, and Huo Jingxuan certainly didn't have the habit of going to bed this early.

So when Jiang Xi went to sleep, he took off his outer garment and lay down next to her, propping his head up with one hand and watching her sleeping face.

I have to say, he has really good taste; the girl's skin was so fair and delicate, and her eyelashes were so long and curled.

Her nose was like a delicate, upright hill, and her lips were rosy and full, making one want to kiss her.

Although he doesn't remember, he must have chosen this lady himself, right?

Otherwise, given his personality, how could he possibly be willing to marry into a princess's family?

While Jiang Xi was still half asleep, she felt a light touch on her cheek and suddenly opened her eyes.

She discovered that Huo Jingxuan had somehow ended up lying next to her, propping his head up and molesting her.

"What?"

Jiang Xi wiped her face with her sleeve, staring warily at the man beside her.

Huo Jingxuan said matter-of-factly, "You can't even kiss your own wife?"

"..."

Jiang Xi resisted the urge to kick him off the bed.

"You better keep a close watch on me. What kind of time is this for you to be all lovey-dovey? Don't you want to die?"

After saying that, he turned over and went back to sleep.

Huo Jingxuan felt that his wife seemed to dislike him a little!

She had said she wanted a divorce before, but now she won't even let him kiss her!

This is clearly a sign that they intend to start something and then abandon it!

Fortunately, he stubbornly stayed, otherwise that Lu Ye would definitely have seduced his wife into having an affair!

Huo Jingxuan was both angry and relieved that he had been wise!

The night passed peacefully until the latter half, when finally a faint sound came from the doorway.

A bamboo tube broke through the window outside the door, and a puff of smoke was about to blow in.

Huo Jingxuan glanced at Jiang Xi, who was fast asleep, but did not disturb her.

Instead, he darted to the door like a gust of wind, slammed the door open, and stared at the two men in black outside.

Just as the man in black was about to make a move, Huo Jingxuan struck even faster.

He twisted one of their wrists with one hand and grabbed the other's neck with the other, pinning them against a pillar.

"Who sent you?"

Just then, a poisoned dart flew in.

As Huo Jingxuan dodged, he instantly ended the lives of the two men in black in his hands.

Lu Ye from next door also opened his door and came out. At this moment, countless men in black had already surged up from both sides of the corridor.

Huo Jingxuan and Lu Ye each took a step back, standing back to back in front of Jiang Xi's room.

One of them stood guard on one side, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-clad men who charged at him with swords and knives.

Jiang Xi was also woken up. She got out of bed and saw that there were many people outside, and she couldn't tell who was who.

"go to hell!"

Before she could react, a man in black took advantage of the chaos to climb through the window and break in, raising a knife to strike her head.
