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

However, Yan Hui was an upright and honest official who was unwilling to do anything unfaithful or fickle.

For this, he gained the appreciation of Emperor Renzong, and his official career progressed smoothly until he resigned and retired two years ago.

In reality, Yan Zijin was born to Yan Hui's mistress. When Zhou Shuang was pregnant, Yan Hui's mistress was also pregnant.

Zhou Shuang had a difficult childbirth and actually gave birth to a daughter.

Yan Hui was unwilling to ruin his public image, nor did he want to have no successor, so he gave his mistress a labor-inducing drug.

He arranged for his mistress to give birth on the same day as Zhou Shuang, and then, while Zhou Shuang was unconscious, he switched the son born to his mistress with the daughter born to Zhou Shuang.

Zhou Shuang is unaware that Yan Zijin is not her child, nor does she know that her husband has actually betrayed her long ago.

Yan Zijin knew that his mistress wanted to recognize him and have him officially recognized as her husband after he passed the imperial examination and became an official.

But Yan Zijin had been raised by Zhou Shuang since childhood, so how could he possibly acknowledge a strange woman?

Moreover, he could tell the difference between a son born out of wedlock and a son born of the principal wife.

So he placed his biological mother under house arrest in a village on the outskirts of the city and sent people to guard her to prevent her from causing trouble.

Last winter, the mistress finally couldn't stand the treatment of being in jail anymore.

Only after Yan Zijin hanged himself on the manor with a white silk ribbon did the heavy weight in his heart finally lift.

Jiang Xi was deeply moved after reading it.

It turns out that Yan Zijin, the dream lover of countless young girls in the capital, was actually just like his father, a person who sought fame and fortune.

No wonder he also pledged allegiance to his elder brother. If this were to be revealed, he would likely fall from grace and become an object of public scorn.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xi quickly put down the scroll and started looking at the others.

The Fatian Pavilion holds many secrets; the more you see, the better. Who knows, they might come in handy in the future?

Time flies, and it passes in the blink of an eye.

It was almost May of the following year, and after shedding her heavy winter clothes, Chun Tao's belly had swelled to an incredible size.

Jiang Xi entered "Cuiwei Residence" where Chun Tao was from outside. Chun Tao was lying on the bed with her big belly, trying to get up clumsily.

"Hey, don't move!"

Jiang Xi hurriedly went forward, took Chun Tao's arm, and pulled her up from the bed.

Chun Tao sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Jiang Xi, and asked with a smile, "I heard from Lu Ye that you have completely taken control of the Cold Crow Society during this time?"

Jiang Xi nodded: "Thanks to Lu Ye and Su Huanqing for their help!"

As she spoke, she remembered something and asked Chun Tao, "Your due date is in the next day or two, right? Be careful!"

Chun Tao nodded: "These past few days he's been moving around a lot in my belly, and I can feel that he can't wait to come out."

Jiang Xixiao said, "The doctor said it's most likely a boy. Have you thought of a name yet?"

Chun Tao looked at Jiang Xi: "I'm not very educated, so you can choose the name. After all, you're his aunt!"

Jiang Xi was very honored that Chun Tao gave her the opportunity to name the child.

After a moment's thought, he said, "What do you think of the name Jiang Fu?"

"Jiang Fu?"

Chun Tao seemed to savor the name, realizing that it contained all of her and Jiang Xi's hopes.

He nodded knowingly: "Okay, let's call him Jiang Fu!"

At this moment, Chun Tao suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, and a warm current rushed down.

"Oh no, my stomach hurts so much, it feels like he's about to come out!"

"What? Wasn't there still a few days left? Why so suddenly?"

Jiang Xi was also startled by Chun Tao's loud shout. She suddenly stood up and shouted towards the door.

"Quickly, bring the midwife here!"

Upon hearing this, the maidservant standing guard outside the door hurriedly went to find the midwife.

Because her due date was approaching, Su Huanqing had already found a midwife from the foot of the mountain to live next door.

Therefore, as soon as the midwife heard that Chuntao was about to give birth, she came very quickly.

Upon hearing the news, Su Huanqing and Lu Ye rushed over immediately.

"Get out, get out, get out! Madam is about to give birth, I'll leave this to this old woman. Someone go boil some water, and get the scissors and white wine ready, hurry!"

The midwife chased everyone out of the room and gave orders to the maid beside her.

"Listen to the midwife!" Jiang Xi shouted.

The maid immediately ran to boil water, and Su Huanqing and Lu Ye had no choice but to stand in the courtyard.

The midwife slammed the door shut and went back to check on Chun Tao.

Chun Tao's cries of pain came from inside the house, and Jiang Xi paced anxiously back and forth in the courtyard.

Finally, she saw the midwife bring out a basin of bloody water and hurriedly went to ask, "How is it? Has she given birth yet?"

"The woman is having a difficult labor! Quickly prepare some ginseng soup to prolong her life!"

After the midwife finished her report, she poured out the bloody fluid and went back into the room.

"Did you hear that? Hurry up!" Jiang Xi shouted anxiously to the guard beside her.

The guard hesitated, "But we've run out of ginseng!"

"If you don't have it, go buy some!" Jiang Xi urged.

"Yes!" The guard acknowledged the order and withdrew.

"Don't worry, my lord. This midwife is the best I've found in the surrounding villages. She'll be fine!"

Seeing that Jiang Xi was restless, Su Huanqing couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.

"Princess, rest assured, Miss Chuntao and her child will be safe and sound!"

Lu Ye stepped forward and offered words of comfort.

After spending the past six months together, both of them have become completely devoted to Jiang Xi.

Only by following Jiang Xi can they achieve greater success.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, in a small town called "Banpo".

Inside the inn, Bei Ying captured the midwife's husband and brought him before Huo Jingxuan.

The man was timid and fearful, and had never seen a man with such a cold demeanor before. He immediately began to tremble.

"My lord, spare my life! I know nothing! All I know is that my wife was taken away by some mysterious people about two weeks ago. As for where she went or what she did, I really have no idea!"

Seeing that these people were all wearing official boots, the man knelt down and addressed them as "Sir."

Huo Jingxuan sat on a mahogany armchair, dressed in black with gold thread, exuding an air of unparalleled nobility.

Coupled with his handsome face, which was so beautiful that it was envied by the heavens and hated by the people, yet so cold and aloof that it seemed to defy frost and snow, he inexplicably gave people a sense of being unapproachable and overwhelming.

"You really don't know?"

Huo Jingxuan leaned back in his chair, leaned forward, and used the horsewhip in his hand to lift the man's chin, forcing him to look directly into his eyes.

"I...I really didn't know!"

The man was so frightened that he stammered.

Huo Jingxuan kicked him in the chest, sending him flying from the gate into the courtyard.

"Ugh!" The man felt a sweet taste in his throat and involuntarily vomited a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Shang Que couldn't help but shake his head.

Since Jiang Xi disappeared, Huo Jingxuan's personality has become increasingly eccentric. He has a penchant for killing people at the drop of a hat, making everyone feel insecure.

Fortunately, Han Chuan returned at that moment: "Your Highness, we have found the entrance to the Cold Crow Society!"

About two weeks ago, some people from the Yak Society came down the mountain to buy some baby clothes.

Our men followed them for half the journey, but they lost them. However, this afternoon, those men reappeared in town.

They've come to buy thousand-year-old ginseng; apparently, they need it urgently!
