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

"Didn't you want to kill me? Why didn't you make your move when you had such a good opportunity?"

Huo Jingxuan looked directly into Jiang Xi's eyes and asked indifferently.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Uncle, you've misunderstood. I never intended to kill you!"

"Don't you want to avenge your imperial brother?" Huo Jingxuan clearly didn't believe him.

Jiang Xi maintained her smile: "If I kill you, will my imperial brother be able to come back to life?"

He's dead, but I'm still alive. I need to find something to rely on, right?

The eldest prince has already ascended the throne, and the palace can no longer accommodate me. Moreover, I have lost my virginity to my uncle.

"I'm afraid no one in this world would dare to take me in. Uncle, do you really not intend to take responsibility for me?"

"I told you, as long as you hand over the Raven Token, I will spare your life!"

Huo Jingxuan naturally couldn't believe Jiang Xi's words; she had lied to him too many times.

Every time, it seemed so sincere and earnest, and the words were so convincing.

Jiang Xi also knew that the deadly poison on the dagger had made Huo Jingxuan wary of her again.

If things had gone like they did just now, and I hadn't changed direction, I would still have been the one assassinating Huo Jingxuan.

It's really hard to say what Huo Jingxuan's chances of survival are.

After all, this place is far from the capital, and Shang Que is not nearby.

He asked so many questions because he wanted to know why Jiang Xi hadn't obeyed Long Yue's orders to assassinate him.

But Jiang Xi's answer clearly failed to convince him.

"I really don't know where the Crow Token is. If I knew, would I still be here waiting for you to catch me?"

"Am I not going to use the Raven Order to take over the Raven Society and threaten court officials into doing things for me?"

Jiang Xi looked into Huo Jingxuan's eyes and said sincerely.

The snake venom in her body had just dissipated, and her soft, delicate face was pale, even her lips were a faint pink.

She looked weak yet pitiful, especially her pair of clear, black eyes, like they had been washed by rain.

When they stare intently at someone, it's absolutely captivating.

Huo Jingxuan turned his head away to avoid her gaze. At that moment, Bei Ying's shouts came from outside the cave.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you?!"

With reinforcements arriving, Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan got up and walked out of the cave.

With the token from the Prince's Mansion in hand, Bei Ying went to the local county government and mobilized about a hundred soldiers to search the mountains for Huo Jingxuan's whereabouts.

Huo Jingxuan appeared, and Bei Ying hurriedly came forward, kneeling on one knee: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"

Huo Jingxuan raised his hand to let him stand up. When Bei Ying stood up, he glanced at Jiang Xi behind Huo Jingxuan.

To be honest, he doesn't dislike Jiang Xi.

But if it weren't for Jiang Xi, the prince wouldn't have ended up in such a place, and so many things wouldn't have happened in the capital.

Therefore, his gaze towards Jiang Xi was somewhat complicated.

"Your Highness, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let's hurry back to the capital!"

Huo Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, now that the person has been found, let the county magistrate arrange a carriage and take the official road directly!"

"Yes!" Bei Ying accepted the order and went to make the arrangements.

An hour later, a magnificent carriage drove onto the official road.

In front, Bei Ying rode a horse and led several soldiers to clear the way, while behind, his entourage protected Huo Jingxuan's safety.

Jiang Xi and Huo Jingxuan rode in the same carriage, with calming incense burning inside.

Huo Jingxuan leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest, while Jiang Xi sat to the side, feeling uneasy.

Longyue missed the best opportunity to assassinate him. Now that there are soldiers escorting him along the way, it won't be so easy for him to make a move again.

But who exactly is this Oborozuki? And why does she also use the Seven Flower Powder to lure snakes?

Are there other people in this world who possess poison-filled spaces like mine?

Or was he the emperor's confidant?

If he is the Emperor's confidant, why have I never heard the Emperor mention him?

Jiang Xi was lost in thought when the carriage passed a small puddle ahead, and the carriage suddenly lurched.

Caught off guard, she stumbled straight into Huo Jingxuan's arms.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Huo Jingxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He glared fiercely at the woman in front of him who was hugging his neck and pressing against his chest.

Jiang Xi was initially a little embarrassed, but seeing his fierce and menacing appearance, she simply became shameless.

"What are you glaring at me for? Can't I even hug you? I don't know who it was before who insisted on hugging me to sleep at night."

If they don't let me sleep with them, they say I've fallen for someone else! It made me so embarrassed!

"Shut up!"

Huo Jingxuan, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted her.

"You're deceiving me! You kept saying you were my wife!"

Jiang Xi pouted: "You believe me just because I say so? I didn't know that my royal uncle was so easily trusting?"

"you……"

Huo Jingxuan was speechless, and in a fit of anger, he pulled off Jiang Xi's arm that was wrapped around his neck and pushed her aside.

"Stop trying to argue your way out of this mess! Just because you saved me doesn't mean I'll tolerate you!"

Jiang Xi was pushed by him and barely avoided hitting the window frame of the carriage.

It seems that all those heartfelt words I said to him before didn't stir up any different waves in his heart!

This man's heart is harder than stone!

Jiang Xi silently returned to her seat and sat down again, no longer having time to think about Longyue's true identity.

Instead, she was thinking about how to gain Huo Jingxuan's trust and get him to keep her in the Regent's Palace.

After traveling day and night, the caravan finally arrived at the gate of the Prince's Palace on the evening of the third day.

Since the Beijing Film Academy had sent a message back long ago, the gates of the Prince's Mansion were now filled with maids and servants.

Yang Xuerou was in the lead, with Han Chuan and Shang Que standing behind her.

"Welcome back to the Prince's residence!"

The maids and servants knelt down in a flurry.

A servant stepped forward, lay prostrate on the ground, and waited patiently for Huo Jingxuan to dismount.

A large, jade-white hand lifted the carriage curtain, and a man dressed in black with gold thread stepped off the carriage, using the back of a servant as a stepping stone.

"Your Majesty..."

Upon seeing Huo Jingxuan, Yang Xuerou happily stepped forward to greet him.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!" Han Chuan couldn't hide his excitement.

"How are you feeling?" Shang Que knew about Huo Jingxuan's poisoning.

Just as everyone was surrounding Huo Jingxuan, asking him about his well-being, the carriage curtain was lifted again.

Dressed in pink, Jiang Xi, with delicate features, also poked her head out of the carriage.

Yang Xuerou's face instantly turned ugly. She stepped past Huo Jingxuan, took a step forward, and slapped Jiang Xi across the face.

"You're becoming increasingly outrageous! You actually tricked the prince into leaving the capital with you. Do you know the enormity of the disaster you've caused?"

As Jiang Xi stepped off the carriage in full view of everyone, he was met with a slap from Yang Xuerou.

Just when everyone thought that the slap was definitely going to land on Jiang Xi's face.

Jiang Xi grabbed her wrist and pushed her backward.

"So what if you've caused a huge disaster? You haven't even married into the Regent's Palace yet, it's not your place to lecture me!"

"you……"

Yang Xuerou was pushed backward repeatedly, and it took her a while to regain her balance.

Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and she looked at Huo Jingxuan beside her with a wronged expression.

"Your Highness, you don't need to bring her back for the sake of the Yang family. Someone as arrogant as her should be killed!"
