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

The students from Beijing Film Academy behind them were also terrified.

Jiang Xi is too audacious. If it had been her elder brother who ascended the throne, she might have actually dared to kidnap the prince and bring him into the princess's residence!

However, his prince has never liked anyone disobeying him, so Jiang Xi is walking on a knife's edge.

The prince will definitely order her to be beaten until her skin is torn and bleeding!

Just then, Huo Jingxuan turned around, grabbed Bei Ying by the collar, and threw him next to Jiang Xi.

"You, go and teach her how to speak to me, the Prince, while she is in the Prince's residence!"

"Ahhh, me, me?"

Bei Ying barely managed to stand firm, and after clearly hearing Huo Jingxuan's order, she pointed to her own nose in horror and asked.

"Otherwise what?" Huo Jingxuan retorted coldly.

Bei Ying felt like she was going to her execution. She forced herself to turn around and look at Jiang Xi.

"You can't yell at our Prince anymore! He's a Prince, doesn't he have any dignity?"

Bei Ying racked his brains to lecture Jiang Xi, but what came out of his mouth was not like a lecture, but more like a request.

Useless stuff!

Huo Jingxuan glared at Bei Ying with displeasure.

The Beijing Film Academy quickly raised its voice and continued to reprimand him.

"You're nothing more than a servant in the Prince's mansion now, do you still think you're the Seventh Princess?"

Don't you realize that if it weren't for the mercy of our Prince, you would have been torn apart by five horses and fed to the dogs long ago for what you've done...?

Just as the Beijing Film Academy was speaking with righteous indignation, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

"Don't stop me, let me continue..."

Without turning her head, Bei Ying snatched her sleeve back from the man's hand.

"Enough! I told you to teach her manners, not to spout this nonsense. Go to Steward Qin and receive your punishment!"

Huo Jingxuan's voice interrupted the reprimand from the Beijing Film Academy.

Bei Ying was shocked to realize that the person who had just tugged at her sleeve was actually her prince, and her mouth dropped open in disbelief.

Turning around, his face contorted with grief, he said, "Your Highness, didn't you tell me to say this? This is punishable too..."

"Hurry up and go!" Huo Jingxuan emphasized.

The student from Beijing Film Academy dared not utter another complaint. He clasped his hands in a fist salute, replied "Yes!" and ran off faster than a rabbit!

It was nighttime when the lamps were lit.

Jiang Xi and another maid named Yue Ying were responsible for making Huo Jingxuan's bed.

Yueying was about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was a servant in the Prince's mansion, and her father was Steward Qin.

She held a certain position in the Prince's mansion, and all the maids below her wanted to curry favor with her.

Jiang Xi initially thought that she was like Shuangjiang and the others, definitely someone who was difficult to get along with.

Who knew that she was not only meticulous in her work and gentle in her speech, but also very approachable.

"His Highness is prone to feeling hot and doesn't like to be covered with thick blankets, but the four corners of this blanket must be laid flat, like this, understand?"

As Yueying spoke, she demonstrated for Jiang Xi.

"understood!"

Jiang Xi nodded.

After making the bed, Yueying put down the silk gauze beside it.

"Let's go, we can go out after we've laid it out!"

Jiang Xi rarely gets to enter Huo Jingxuan's bedchamber, and she hasn't even started searching for the Cold Crow Token yet, so naturally she's reluctant to leave.

However, the timing is not right. Yueying was clearly sent by Huo Jingxuan to monitor her, so she cannot make any moves for the time being.

So he obediently followed Yueying and left Huo Jingxuan's bedroom.

Huo Jingxuan is usually served by Bei Ying, but now Jiang Xi has been added, and Yue Ying has also been arranged.

Yueying lived next door to Jiang Xi and kept a close eye on Jiang Xi's every move.

Jiang Xi knew that Huo Jingxuan had never let his guard down around her.

Although she has now become his personal maid, she must be extremely careful in her actions from now on.

Throughout the night, Jiang Xi kept her ears perked up, listening to the sounds coming from next door.

Huo Jingxuan was extremely busy upon returning to the capital. On one hand, he had to punish Xie's faction in the court, and on the other hand, he had to win over some court officials who were still in a wait-and-see state.

So he often came home late at night, and when he did, he smelled of alcohol.

Jiang Xi overheard Bei Ying and Han Chuan's conversation and learned that Huo Jingxuan was going to host a banquet at Liu Jun Pavilion tonight.

Please invite Minister Zhang, the Minister of Justice, and Grand Secretary Yan Zijin of the Night Pavilion to dinner.

Jiang Xi had heard her elder brother mention that this Lord Zhang was a close friend of hers, and Yan Zijin was even his classmate.

They are all members of Jiang Ji's faction.

Huo Jingxuan's move was probably an attempt to take advantage of Jiang Ji's death and recruit all of his followers for his own use.

It seems I need to find the Cold Crow Token quickly and take control of the Cold Crow Society.

The Raven Society contains information on all the ministers of the Emperor's faction, as well as the secrets these ministers cannot reveal.

Otherwise, under Huo Jingxuan's pressure, these people might not have switched their allegiance to him.

Meanwhile, inside Liujun Pavilion, a scene of singing and dancing unfolded.

As the largest dance hall in the capital, they were only responsible for hosting Huo Jingxuan's table of guests tonight.

The madam had prepared the best viewing platform on the second floor for them.

Looking down from here, you can not only appreciate the graceful dance moves of the girls on stage.

They won't be distracted by the sounds of traditional Chinese musical instruments, allowing them to discuss matters without any distractions.

Minister Zhang, the Court of Justice, sat to Huo Jingxuan's right, watching Huo Jingxuan, who was all smiles and enjoying the song and dance, now drenched in sweat.

He was well aware of Huo Jingxuan's purpose in inviting him and Yan Zijin to the banquet, which is why he was so uneasy.

“The Third Prince is dead. Logically, our wisest choice should be to follow Your Highness, but…”

Lord Zhang was full of concerns, but he couldn't say it directly.

He subconsciously glanced at Yan Zijin across from him.

Two years ago, Yan Zijin passed the imperial examination with top honors, becoming the top scholar at the age of twenty. He was known for his arrogance and haughtiness.

Yet this man, who was both scholarly and martial, and arrogant as he was, was willing to serve a prince who was not favored.

Perhaps it would be more convincing for the Regent to explain the reasons himself.

Realizing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yan Zijin raised his cup and drank the finest Dukang wine in one gulp.

Then he turned to look at Huo Jingxuan in the main seat, a smile on his face, and said slowly.

"It's not that we're unwilling to follow Your Highness; Your Highness must have heard of the Cold Crow Order."

"We all have incriminating evidence against the Cold Crow Society. If Your Highness takes control of the Cold Crow Society, we will follow you to the death!"

This is a fairly straightforward statement. It means that they are not loyal to the Third Prince Jiang Ji, but rather to what Jiang Ji possesses.

Although Huo Jingxuan had anticipated this, he hadn't expected that even someone as seemingly refined and elegant as Yan Zijin would be involved.

It turns out that there are secrets that cannot be known to outsiders, which shows that the Cold Crow Society is indeed very powerful and influential!

But what exactly is Yan Zijin's secret? He was actually quite curious!

However, before Huo Jingxuan could speak, Yan Zijin had already stood up, bowed, and taken his leave.

When Judge Zhang saw that Yan Zijin was about to leave, he quickly stood up and followed Yan Zijin.

He didn't want to stay behind alone to face Huo Jingxuan, this formidable weapon!
