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

Huo Jingxuan narrowed his eyes and looked angrily at Bei Ying: "Since you knew all this, why didn't you stop her?"

Bei Ying said aggrievedly, "These days you only listen to her, and if your subordinates try to stop you..."

She only needs to say a few bad things about her subordinates to you, and you'll let her have her way? My life is in grave danger!

"Bastard thing!"

Enraged, Huo Jingxuan raised his sleeve, which, filled with true energy, knocked Bei Ying to the ground.

Bei Ying clutched her chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said with a stiff neck.

"Even though I know Your Highness will be angry, there are still some things I would like to ask Your Highness to consider."

With the Third Prince dead, the Seventh Princess is nothing more than a broken-winged crow, and there's no need to pay her any attention; she can simply be left to fend for herself.

The most important thing right now is for Your Highness to return to the capital with your subordinates as soon as possible.

While you were away, Xie Zhuguo couldn't wait to make a move against Lords Cao and Li.

After the palace banquet, Lord Li was ambushed and his life hung by a thread. Doctor Shang treated him for days on end.

Han Chuan will stay in the capital to stabilize morale. If you don't go back soon, I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to hold out for much longer!

"Why should I trust you?"

Huo Jingxuan can no longer tell who is telling the truth.

My mind was blank; I instinctively believed in this person based solely on what I felt in my heart.

But now that person is gone, and the person she originally thought was the traitor is now saying that she has been deceiving her all along.

So who is lying to whom? And who can he really trust?

The student from Beijing Film Academy knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Your Highness, my parents and relatives are all in the capital. If I have said even the slightest lie, I wish my entire clan would be buried with me!"

Although Huo Jingxuan had no memory, he was still rational.

The man from Beiying spoke with a firm tone and an open expression, and was even willing to vouch for him with his entire clan. There was no doubt that he was not lying to him.

But if he's telling the truth, then Jiang Xi...

Was Jiang Xi really deceiving him all along?

"Alright, I promise you I will return to the capital immediately, but Jiang Xi must be captured."

If she dares to deceive me, I will make her pay!

After saying that, he turned and left, setting off that very night.

"Yes, sir!" Beijing Film Academy responded loudly.

At this moment, Jiang Xi, Chun Tao, and Lu Ye are living in the wilderness.

Lu Ye helped build a fire and then went to the river to catch fish to grill.

The three of them sat around the fire, eating the delicious grilled fish and discussing their plans for the future.

"Have you heard of the Cold Crow Society?" Jiang Xi asked Lu Ye.

"An intelligence organization that has risen to prominence in the Great Yu Kingdom in recent years, composed of a group of mysterious and unpredictable martial arts figures."

He made a fortune by selling information about high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.

When the late emperor was alive, he attempted to bring this organization under his control, but all attempts were rejected.

Lu Ye revealed what he knew.

Jiang Xi nodded: "The Cold Crow Society was actually founded by my imperial brother. He can take charge of the Cold Crow Society with the Cold Crow Token."

But my elder brother suddenly passed away, and the Cold Crow Token has disappeared without a trace.

Our first plan after returning to the capital is to settle down, find the Raven Token, and take over the Raven Society!

"But if it's nowhere to be found, how can we find it?" Lu Ye wondered.

Jiang Xi pondered, "Such an important thing, my brother will surely leave something behind to explain."

Chuntao, think it over carefully. Did your brother say anything to you before launching the palace coup?

Chun Tao frowned as she began to recall the last time she met Jiang Ji.

She had just discovered that she was pregnant with the third prince's child, so she nestled beside him and told him the good news.

The third prince was indeed overjoyed and pulled her aside to ask how old the child was and when it would be born.

She smiled and playfully scolded him, saying it was still early.

After the initial joy, Jiang Ji was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry. She was happy that she finally had a child.

What worries me is that he has already decided to launch a palace coup. What if something goes wrong? What will happen to Jiang Xi, Chun Tao, and the child in Chun Tao's belly?

After some thought, Jiang Ji sat on the edge of the bed and put his arm around Chun Tao's shoulder.

With boundless anticipation, he said, "I have long dealt with the Regent and know that he has extraordinary talent."

However, they are also arrogant and conceited, but the most dangerous thing is often the safest.

If it weren't for his unwavering loyalty to the eldest prince, I would truly want to be his friend!

Lu Ye listened to Chun Tao's story and became curious.

"Why is the Third Prince bringing up the Regent out of the blue? Doesn't he know that man is a wolf in sheep's clothing?"

Jiang Xi sensed something was amiss: "My brother has never said to me that he wanted to be friends with Huo Jingxuan. There must be something else behind his words!"

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao and Lu Ye both fell into deep thought.

At that moment, a bold idea suddenly rushed into Jiang Xi's mind.

"Could it be that my brother is worried that if the palace coup fails, Huo Jingxuan will investigate everyone associated with him?"

Fearing the Raven Token might fall into the wrong hands, so... they hid it directly in the Regent's Palace?

Otherwise, why would people say that the most dangerous place is often the safest?

Who would have thought that the Cold Crow Token that Huo Jingxuan had been so eager to find was actually in his own residence?

Chun Tao and Lu Ye were also startled by Jiang Xi's guess.

But upon closer examination, it makes sense.

Jiang Xi clapped his hands: "That must be it! The Cold Crow Token is very likely in some corner of the Regent's Palace!"

"What should we do? We've already offended the Regent, how can we possibly get into his residence?" Chun Tao became even more worried.

Jiang Xi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Ye: "No, the plan has to be changed!"

Lu Ye had a feeling that what Jiang Xi was about to say was related to him, so he straightened his back.

"General Lu, are you willing to follow me to accomplish this?" Jiang Xi first asked Lu Ye for his opinion.

“I have betrayed the Regent, and now no one in the court dares to employ me. My only way out is to follow you, Princess!”

Lu Ye made his statement with a sincere tone.

Jiang Xi nodded.

"Then I'll give you all my travel money and gold leaves. You take Chuntao and find a safe place to hide."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it. Chun Tao is carrying my brother's child. You must ensure her safety!"

Jiang Xi interrupted Lu Ye's hesitation and revealed the truth that Chun Tao was pregnant.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

Now that we've decided to work together, we should thoroughly analyze all the pros and cons.

To avoid ignorance causing delays in important matters.

Upon hearing that Chun Tao was pregnant with royal blood, Lu Ye immediately understood why Jiang Xi was willing to risk her life.

They're also coming to Anyang to find Chuntao!

If she doesn't come in person, given Chun Tao's status as a mere maid, Huo Jingxuan's men certainly won't go to great lengths to find her.

We can just make up some excuse to get by then!

"I obey my orders!"

Realizing the importance of his mission, Lu Ye solemnly accepted the order.

"And what about you? What are you planning to do?" Chun Tao asked, somewhat worried about Jiang Xi's safety.

"I have to go back to Huo Jingxuan's side!" Jiang Xi said firmly.

"What?" Lu Ye and Chun Tao exclaimed in surprise.
