Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.
Chapter 8: This is my first time too!
"The Fifth Princess is delirious and behaving strangely. I don't believe it has nothing to do with you. Where did you get so many strange poisons?"
Huo Jingxuan's tone shifted from blame to suspicion.
Jiang Xi looked up at him. The man in front of her was tall and straight, with handsome and deep features. Every word and action of his exuded an aura of dominance over the world.
"There's another poison that I haven't tried yet, my royal uncle. Would you like to give it a shot?"
Huo Jingxuan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Jiang Xi muttered to herself, "This poison is called 'Ylang-ylang,' and it can arouse male lust..."
As he spoke, he pretended to reach into his pocket.
Huo Jingxuan grabbed her wrist to stop her, gritting his teeth: "I don't need it!"
"hehe!"
Jiang Xi covered her mouth and laughed, and Huo Jingxuan then realized that he had been tricked.
"Uncle, there's no need to be nervous. If such a medicine really existed, I would have given it to you long ago. Why would I wait until now? I've been eyeing you for a long time!"
Huo Jingxuan shook off her hand, his face darkening. "Do you behave so frivolously towards other men?"
Jiang Xi threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck.
"Uncle, you've misunderstood me. You know, that night was my first time too!"
Speaking of that night, Huo Jingxuan's face flushed, and he felt even more troubled.
He yanked Jiang Xi's wrist off, shoved her away, and held out his hand to her: "Where's the antidote?"
That jerk, he keeps pushing her!
Jiang Xi straightened up and gritted her teeth, saying, "There's no antidote. The effects will wear off in an hour!"
At this moment, a eunuch from Jiang Gu's side came to report that the Fifth Princess had regained consciousness.
Huo Jingxuan waved for him to leave and then re-examined Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi looks very much like her mother, with a striking and alluring appearance.
If such a woman came from a brothel, she would surely win applause from everyone.
However, if one is born into royalty, there is a certain suspicion that they will bring disaster to the country and its people.
"Why are you looking at me? Does the Imperial Uncle also think I'm stunningly beautiful?"
Jiang Xi couldn't stand Huo Jingxuan's dark gaze fixed on her, as if he were examining an object, so she deliberately raised her face and asked.
"what!"
Huo Jingxuan was amused by his meaningless joke and chuckled coldly.
"I was just wondering, are you really the Seventh Princess?"
Jiang Xi's expression changed slightly, thinking he had discovered something: "What do you mean?"
"I remember the Seventh Princess wasn't this cunning before! Is it because she's lost her backer that she's stopped pretending altogether?"
Jiang Xi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
She thought Huo Jingxuan had discovered her transmigrator identity and was going to burn her alive like a demon!
"Yes, my brother is dead. I'm just a powerless little princess. Why should I bother pretending so hard!"
Although Jiang Xi said this, her expression showed no sign of giving up on herself.
Huo Jingxuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Bei Ying is right. Rather than keeping this cunning little girl in the deep palace to cause him trouble, it would be better to find an excuse to bring her into the Prince's mansion and keep her by his side!
Let's see what tricks she can pull next!
Therefore, on the second day after Jiang Gu ascended the throne, Jiang Xi was ordered by Jiang Gu to use the pretext that the late emperor had just passed away and the seventh princess was grieving too much and had fallen ill with a heart disease.
She was sent to a nunnery on Mount Wuhua to recuperate.
Halfway there, Huo Jingxuan's subordinate Bei Ying was already waiting at the fork in the road with his men.
So the puppet that replaced Jiang Xi got into the carriage, while Jiang Xi was drugged and stuffed into a sedan chair and carried to the Regent's Palace.
"Wow!"
A bucket of cold water was poured over Jiang Xi's head, soaking him completely as he lay sleeping on the woodpile.
Jiang Xi woke up with a start, and when she opened her eyes, a round face sprinkled with sesame seeds was right in front of her.
"You lazy brat who only knows how to sleep all day long, look at what time it is outside, get up and do your work!"
The woman with the round face was an old lady in her forties.
The old woman grabbed Jiang Xi's face and pulled the flesh on her cheek to one side.
The pain caused Jiang Xi to throw a punch, giving the old woman a black eye.
"Where did this old woman come from, daring to be so disrespectful to this princess!"
The old woman covered her left eye, her finger almost poking Jiang Xi's face.
"Princess? Who do you think you are? You're just a lowly maidservant that Steward Qin recently bought into the manor, and you dare to put on airs!"
Something's not right, something's really not right!
Jiang Xi's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Didn't she transmigrate into the body of the least favored seventh princess of the Great Yu Dynasty?
Wasn't she sent to a nunnery on Mount Wuhua for quiet recuperation by imperial decree of the new emperor?
Was she killed by Huo Jingxuan's men on the way?
Then he was reborn into someone else's body?
Just as Jiang Xi was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the door to the woodshed was kicked open from the outside.
The person standing at the door was none other than someone she knew from the Beijing Film Academy.
"Beijing Film Academy? Where's Huo Jingxuan? I need to see him!"
Finally seeing a familiar face, Jiang Xi's soul was temporarily at peace.
At the same time, he guessed that he had probably been switched by Huo Jingxuan's men halfway through his journey.
They should be in the woodshed of the Regent's Palace right now!
Beijing Film Academy student, arms crossed, striking a pose: "Um, Xiao Qi..."
"Xiao Qi?" Jiang Xi pointed to the tip of her nose, her face full of doubt.
He was merely Huo Jingxuan's deputy general; how dare he address him by his rank?
Bei Ying swallowed hard and nodded guiltily, "Yes, I was calling you!"
"Now that you've come to the Regent's Palace, you must abide by its rules. From now on, you'll be called Xiao Qi! You'll be a low-ranking maid in the palace!"
"I'll let you have the title of 'Seventh Prince,' but I'm still the 'Eighth Prince.' Stop playing tricks and call Huo Jingxuan to see me!"
Jiang Xi swung his fist and smashed it against the Beijing Film Studio, giving orders as he did so.
Bei Ying didn't dare to fight back against Jiang Xi, so she could only dodge to the side, talking as she did so.
"Hey, don't hit me! This is the prince's order. The prince said your name is Xiao Qi, not mine!"
The old woman who had just reprimanded Jiang Xi was stunned. How dare this lowly maidservant lay a hand on Lord Bei Ying?
She...she...could she really be a princess?
But Steward Qin clearly said...
"stop!"
Just as Jiang Xi was beating Bei Ying from inside the house to outside the courtyard, a figure quickly walked over and grabbed Jiang Xi's fist.
Beijing Film Academy quickly took the opportunity to hide behind that person.
Jiang Xi looked up and saw Huo Jingxuan dressed in black with gold thread.
However, Huo Jingxuan was followed by a group of servants, including Qin Junzheng, the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion.
Meeting Huo Jingxuan's cold gaze, Jiang Xi instantly understood.
He brought me into the Prince's mansion because he wanted to keep me by his side and prevent me from causing him trouble!
"Where is Chun Tao?" Jiang Xi's first question was about Chun Tao's whereabouts.
"They should be at Mount Wuhua by now, accompanying that fake princess!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Huo Jingxuan replied indifferently.
