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

"Oh dear, Brother Wang, our room is next door!"

However, at that moment, a commotion came from outside. Someone was drunk and had entered the wrong room.

The moment the door was pushed open, a group of young men were drinking and making merry outside. The one in the lead was none other than Wang Yu'an, the eldest son of the Wang family.

The rest were all纨绔子弟 (playboys) from the capital, whose families were all prominent and influential.

Xie Sichun turned around while nestled in Wei Liangyuan's arms, pretending to be shy as she pulled her collar tighter and hid behind him.

Wang Yu'an, now mostly sober, pointed at Xie Sichun and said, "Hey, isn't this Miss Sun from Xie Zhuguo's family? We met during the hunting trip in the hunting grounds!"

When everyone heard that it was Xie Sichun, their eyes lit up.

As everyone knows, Xie Sichun is about to marry that big fool from the Xu family, but now she's seen hugging and cuddling with a man in this restaurant.

Isn't this tantamount to publicly cuckolding the Xu family?

"You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not..." Xie Sichun covered her face and hid behind Wei Liangyuan.

Wang Yu'an stepped forward, grabbed Xie Sichun's wrist, and dragged her out from behind Wei Liangyuan.

"I have no mistake, you are Miss Sun of the Xie family!"

Then, he looked at Wei Liangyuan and said, "Who is this kid? I remember that Xu Changsheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, doesn't look like this. How come you two are having an affair in broad daylight?"

"No, you've got it wrong!" Xie Sichun said angrily, shaking off Wang Yu'an's hand and walking quickly outside.

But this was the busiest time in the restaurant, and the corridors were packed with people.

Wang Yu'an persisted and chased after Xie Sichun, following behind her.

"You are Miss Sun of the Xie family! Miss Sun of the Xie family has been caught in the act of adultery! Everyone, come and see!"

Everyone in the restaurant looked over here.

Wei Liangyuan chased after Wang Yu'an, trying to dissuade them, and the three of them were pulled and tugged out of the restaurant's door.

They were extremely ostentatious along the way, as if afraid someone wouldn't hear them.

But once they stepped outside, Wang Yu'an's expression changed. He led them to the back street, where a carriage was parked.

"Get in the carriage. The driver will escort you to Zhongzhou. This is the royal token, which will help you pass through the checkpoint!"

After Wang Yu'an shoved all the things into Wei Liangyuan's hands, he quickly pushed the two of them into the carriage.

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

After getting into the car, Wei Liangyuan bowed and thanked him.

Wang Yu'an gave a forced smile: "If you want to thank someone, thank His Highness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage sped off along the bluestone slabs of the back street.

Before the news reached the Xu and Xie families, Wei Liangyuan and Xie Sichun's carriage had already left the city gate.

Jiang Xi stood on the city wall, watching Xie Sichun's carriage drive by.

"Miss Xie, someone is seeing you off from the city gate!"

The coachman gave a quiet reminder and slowed down.

Xie Sichun lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at the city tower, where she saw Jiang Xi and the Regent standing side by side.

Although both of them had blank expressions, Xie Sichun could clearly see reluctance in Jiang Xi's eyes.

She couldn't even say goodbye to Jiang Xi; they could only look into each other's eyes.

But the affection flows in each other's hearts, and even silence speaks louder than a thousand words.

The carriage went further and further away until it was just a small black dot. Night fell, and the world was pitch black.

The city lights came on one by one, and I stood on the city wall, looking at the myriad lights.

Jiang Xi didn't know what the ending would be for Xie Sichun, nor did she know what the ending would be for herself.

"The Xie family should have sent people out to look for Xie Sichun by now, right?" Jiang Xi asked.

"The Xu family must have received the news as well, and they might be heading to the Xie family to demand an explanation!" Huo Jingxuan said expressionlessly.

Jiang Xi turned to look at him: "So, what about you? Are you planning to go back to Yingzhou tomorrow?"

Huo Jingxuan nodded slightly: "Yes, we need to hurry!"

Knowing that Huo Jingxuan was going back to Yingzhou, Jiang Xi felt that her opportunity to find the Cold Crow Token had come.

When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. The moment the tiger leaves, the monkey can sneakily ransack the entire palace.

Thinking this, Jiang Xi suppressed a sly smile and said, "Then Uncle, come back soon. I'll miss you."

Huo Jingxuan stared at Jiang Xi's profile, his gaze somewhat strange: "Really? How much do you miss me?"

amount……

After a brief silence, Jiang Xi immediately expressed her heartfelt sentiments: "A day apart feels like three autumns!"

Huo Jingxuan knew she was lying, but he couldn't help but smile: "Is that so? In that case, I've decided to take you back with me!"

Jiang Xi's expression suddenly changed: "What? Well, Imperial Uncle, I'm just a servant in the Regent's Palace. It might not be appropriate for me to go back to Yingzhou with you. I'll just wait for you in the capital!"

"Isn't it said that a day apart feels like three autumns? How could I let you suffer so much in the capital?" Huo Jingxuan raised an eyebrow.

"Well... that's called a metaphor, or hyperbole, it's a rhetorical device, nothing more. It doesn't mean it's really that hard to endure!"

Jiang Xi tried to explain, after all, it was a rare opportunity and she didn't want to miss it.

"I don't care. The journey is long, and we need someone to take care of us. You're the one. Get ready and come back with me!"

Huo Jingxuan gave the order forcefully.

Jiang Xi was on the verge of tears, wishing she could slap herself twice, "Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed! What kind of loyalty are you trying to show me!"

The next day, the carriages and horses to return to Yingzhou were ready. This time, not only Bei Ying Han Chuan Jiang Xi, but also the divine physician Shang Que accompanied Huo Jingxuan back.

Bei Yinghanchuan rode a horse, while Jiang Xi and Shang Que rode in the same carriage as Huo Jingxuan.

Just as the group was about to set off, Yang Xuerou arrived.

Huo Jingxuan told Jiang Xi and Shang Que to get in the car first, while he stayed behind to talk to Yang Xuerou.

"Having heard that Your Highness is going back to Yingzhou to visit your grandfather, Xue Rou has volunteered to go with you. I hope Your Highness will grant me permission!"

Yang Xuerou possessed an elegant demeanor and spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

"But..." Huo Jingxuan seemed to have some reservations.

"Your Highness, let's go back together. Grandfather will be very pleased, and perhaps his illness will even be cured!"

Yang Xuerou looked at Huo Jingxuan, interrupting his refusal.

Yang Xuerou, who was eager to return to Yingzhou with Huo Jingxuan, hesitated for a moment, and after some thought, surprisingly agreed.

"Get in the car!"

So the four of them rode together in the carriage, which was luxurious and spacious enough that it didn't feel crowded.

Jiang Xi didn't like Yang Xuerou, but she was Huo Jingxuan's fiancée, so it was only natural for her to return to Yingzhou with Huo Jingxuan, regardless of whether she liked it or not.

Yang Xuerou and Huo Jingxuan sat in the main seats, while Jiang Xi and Shang Que sat on the left and right sides respectively.

No one spoke much along the way, but Shang Que kept glancing at Jiang Xi.

His curiosity about Jiang Xi was planted the moment Jiang Xi said that she was self-taught in poisons.

The way he looked at Jiang Xi was like a sect patriarch looking at a genius disciple.
