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

The feeling was so wonderful that Jiang Xi looked at the big rat with a hint of joy.

At this moment, the midwife stepped forward and said, "The child must be hungry. Quickly, give him to his mother to breastfeed!"

As he spoke, he carried the big rat to Chun Tao.

Chun Tao sat on the ground, and Jiang Xi helped her up. The three of them walked together to the bedside in the room.

The midwife handed the baby to Chuntao, who took it and held it in her arms.

This was the first time she had seen the child up close, and he looked exactly like Jiang Ji.

"Fu'er..."

Thinking of the fate she was about to face, Chun Tao couldn't help but feel heartbroken and shed tears.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Fu'er!" Jiang Xi comforted her.

At the same time, Huo Jingxuan had broken through the blockade of the Fatian Pavilion and entered its interior.

Even Han Chuan, who was right behind him, was stunned by the shelves full of documents.

"These……"

Opening any one of these rolls is enough to be explosive.

"Take all these documents with you!"

Huo Jingxuan gave the order.

"Yes!" Han Chuan responded and began to have people move the scrolls and bamboo slips.

Chun Tao had just finished feeding the child when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Jiang Xi quickly took the child and held him protectively in her arms, looking warily toward the door.

Chuntao also turned her back to straighten her clothes.

The footsteps paused outside the door for a moment before the door was pushed open, and Huo Jingxuan's tall and upright figure appeared in the doorway.

Jiang Xi noticed that he was dragging a long sword in his hand, and the sword seemed somewhat familiar; she had seen it by Huo Jingxuan's bedside in his bedroom.

This sword had been hanging above Huo Jingxuan's bedside; it must have been the Wangxu Sword he used on the battlefield.

Upon recognizing Jian's identity, Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly realized that Huo Jingxuan had come to take her life.

After all, she had deceived him time and time again.

Thinking this, Jiang Xi quickly stuffed Jiang Fu back into Chun Tao's arms.

He walked towards Huo Jingxuan, who was approaching step by step.

Huo Jingxuan indeed placed the illusory sword against Jiang Xi's neck.

Although Jiang Xi was startled, she was not afraid.

At that moment, Shang Que rushed in from outside the door and grabbed Huo Jingxuan's arm.

"Senior brother, you can't kill Xiao Qi. It's not fair to her. Although she lied to you, she didn't hurt you!"

Huo Jingxuan remained silent, but his cold gaze spoke volumes.

After a long pause, she said, "She didn't hurt me because she didn't have the ability yet. Once she's powerful enough, she'll want me dead more than anyone else!"

"Does the Imperial Uncle really intend to kill Ah Xi?" Jiang Xi met Huo Jingxuan's gaze without flinching.

Huo Jingxuan's lips curled slightly: "Give me a reason why I can't kill you!"

Jiang Xi looked past Huo Jingxuan toward the door.

There were many figures outside the door; it was Grand Secretary Yan Zijin who had arrived with his men.

Yan Zijin's voice was incredibly penetrating even across the courtyard: "Seventh Princess, I've finally found you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yanzi Jinren had already crossed the courtyard and entered the house.

After seeing the situation inside the room, Yan Zijin stared at Huo Jingxuan in disbelief: "Regent, what are you doing? She is a princess of the current dynasty!"

Huo Jingxuan remained silent, nor did he retract the Wangxu Sword in his hand.

Yan Zijin continued, "A few days ago, I received a letter from the Seventh Princess pleading for help, saying that she did not die after jumping off the cliff."

Having wandered all the way to this place, I have already informed Your Majesty that members of the royal family must not be allowed to live among the common people.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to escort the Seventh Princess back to the capital. I implore the Regent not to obstruct my journey!"

Dressed in a red official robe, Yan Zijin spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring air, his words forceful and compelling, each one pressing Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Jingxuan turned his head to look at Yan Zijin beside him, not expecting that Jiang Xi had already taken over Jiang Ji's former subordinates so quickly.

It seems she hasn't been idle for the past six months!

"Scholar Yan, do you know what you're doing?" Huo Jingxuan asked with a hint of threat.

Yan Zijin replied respectfully, "This humble official is merely following orders!"

This seemingly impeccable answer actually reveals Yan Zijin's attitude.

Like Lu Ye, he had already stood behind Jiang Xi and chosen to be her enemy.

"Uncle, do you intend to defy the imperial decree?" Jiang Xi asked, her voice gentle but her eyes full of provocation.

Huo Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "You think you'll be safe after returning to the capital?"

Jiang Xi shrugged indifferently: "I'm a short-sighted person, I always take it one step at a time. As long as I'm alive right now, I've won!"

Shang Que also took the opportunity to speak up for Jiang Xi: "Senior brother, let Xiao Qi go. You'll regret killing her, won't you?"

Huo Jingxuan glared at Shang Que: "I wish I could skin her alive, so how could I possibly regret it!"

Seeing Huo Jingxuan's stubborn and displeased expression, Shang Que hesitated to speak.

He knew his senior brother's personality all too well: cold, tough, and wouldn't allow anyone to expose him!

In order to save Jiang Xi's life, he had no choice but to obediently shut his mouth and not argue with him.

Huo Jingxuan sheathed his sword and snorted coldly, "Let's see how many more days you can live!"

Then he turned away angrily.

Only after Huo Jingxuan's figure disappeared outside the door did Jiang Xi finally breathe a sigh of relief, and her shoulders slumped.

Yan Zijin looked sharply at Jiang Xi beside him, and Jiang Xi returned his gaze.

Their eyes met, and Yan Zijin gave a bitter smile: "Miss Axi... no, Seventh Princess, I didn't expect the Cold Crow Token to actually be in your hands!"

Jiang Xi raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you already have some suspicions about me when you invited me to the opera?"

Yan Zijin was quite frank: "Back then, I tested you with the matter between Master Xie and Boss Yu, and your reaction was too shocked, so I..."

"So you let your guard down? Did you kill me without hesitation when you found out I had the Raven Token?"

Jiang Xi looked into Yan Zijin's eyes and asked in return.

Yan Zijin's smile grew even more bitter: "Please forgive me, I... I had no choice. My mother can't know about my background, it would ruin her!"

Jiang Xi countered, "Are you afraid of ruining her or ruining yourself?"

Yan Zijin was taken aback: "Is there a difference?"

If his secret is exposed, not only will he and his mother be destroyed, but even his father will be completely ruined.

"I don't care who you are, nor do I care about your family's affairs. This world isn't black and white, but now that I've taken control of the Raven Society, you must be absolutely loyal to me!"

Jiang Xi changed her expression, appearing somewhat indifferent.

Yan Zijin understood Jiang Xi's meaning, and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bow, saying, "Your humble servant obeys!"

Huo Jingxuan raided the Cold Crow Society's stronghold and searched the entire Cangwu Palace on Yunmeng Mountain.

However, the Cold Crow Society has eyes and ears all over the martial arts world. The destruction of a mere stronghold has little impact, after all, the entire Cangwu Palace has no more than a hundred members.

The only valuable items were the documents brought out from the Fatian Pavilion, which filled five carriages.

Once everything was ready, we prepared to return to the capital!
