Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Lin Ruoshui changed into a low-key dress and asked Zhao Deshun to arrange a carriage to take her to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yu, who was sulking, was practicing his sword in the bamboo forest. Affected by his master's emotions, the Crimson Sky Sword's sword energy was incredibly sharp, and not a single bamboo within a hundred meters was left, all of them were cut down by the sword energy.

When Lin Ruoshui arrived at the Chu Prince's Mansion, she did not enter through the main gate, but instead climbed over the wall at the back gate.

Zhao Deshun was shocked by Lin Ruoshui's agile movements, thinking to himself, "Is this our princess who has been frail and sickly for many years and hasn't stepped out of the palace for 18 years? Her skills look more like those of a flower thief."

Lin Ruoshui nimbly climbed over the wall and searched for Xuan Yuan Yu. Finally, she found the bamboo forest. Before she even got close, she sensed that the Chixiao Sword's blade was different from usual, as if it had the power to destroy the world, sweeping outwards.

Lin Ruoshui took two steps back, thinking that she should make a quick getaway at this moment. Unexpectedly, the sound of her footsteps was noticed by Xuan Yuan Yu.

Lin Ruoshui turned and ran, and Xuan Yuanyu drew his sword and gave chase.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Yu placed the Crimson Sky Sword horizontally against Lin Ruoshui's neck and shoulder.

Lin Ruoshui cried out in fright, "Xuanyuan Yu, it's me, one of our own!"

Xuanyuan Yu seemed not to recognize her, and brought the Crimson Sky Sword to her neck.

"Are you angry? Why are you pretending not to know me!" Lin Ruoshui stomped her foot and started to act cute to save her life.

“You…” Xuan Yuan Yu said in a low voice, as if suppressing his anger.

Lin Ruoshui turned her head away from the Crimson Sky Sword, then wrapped her arms around Xuan Yuanyu's arm.

Xuanyuan Yu threw the Crimson Sky Sword into the sky, and the sword accurately returned to its scabbard when it fell.

Lin Ruoshui released Xuan Yuan Yu's arm and clapped her hands loudly, saying, "Good, so cool! Xuan Yuan Yu, that move was so cool!"

Seeing Lin Ruoshui release his arm, Xuanyuan Yu's emotions, which had just calmed down, were about to surge again. He closed his eyes, exhaled, and tightly gripped Lin Ruoshui's waist with one hand.

Lin Ruoshui cried out in pain, "It hurts so much, Your Highness."

"Pain? You're afraid of pain? If you dare to mess with me, you'd better be prepared to feel pain," Xuan Yuan Yu said coldly.

"Please, don't treat me like this!" Lin Ruoshui shamelessly whined, hoping to avoid being beaten.

"Shameless! Shameless! You slut, you actually seduced the prince!" A shrill female voice rang out from afar.

Lin Ruoshui blinked at Xuan Yuanyu and asked, "Your Highness, why is there a female dog barking in your house?"

Xuanyuan Yu did not answer, but looked at the person who came.

The woman who started swearing was none other than Xuanyuan Yu's cousin, Wu Xiuying, his stepmother's niece.

"Steward Sun, have someone beat this slut of unknown origin to death with sticks," Wu Xiuying said arrogantly to Steward Sun.

Butler Sun, crouching low, glanced awkwardly at Xuan Yuan Yu's expression.

Xuanyuan Yu tightened his grip on Lin Ruoshui's waist, and Lin Ruoshui naturally wrapped her arms around Xuanyuan Yu's neck. Seeing that Lin Ruoshui was wrapping her arms around his neck and even standing on tiptoe, Xuanyuan Yu leaned down to make it more comfortable for Lin Ruoshui to hug him.

Watching the interaction between the two, Butler Sun didn't dare to move. He knew that the one in charge now was no longer the master, but their war god, Prince Chu. Who would dare to offend him?

Seeing that she couldn't get orders out of Steward Sun, Wu Xiuying kicked him in a fit of anger and said, "You old servant, you don't listen to me anymore, do you? Wait till I tell my aunt, and you'll be in big trouble."

The housekeeper resigned himself to his fate and dared not dodge, taking a solid kick from her.

Lin Ruoshui still thinks in the 21st century, and the concept of equality for all is deeply ingrained in her. When she sees a young woman kicking an old man, she gets furious.

She can ignore being scolded, but if it's an elderly person who hits someone, then she has to do something about it.

Just as Lin Ruoshui was about to release her grip on Xuan Yuan Yu and step forward to teach the woman a lesson, Xuan Yuan Yu said, "Don't move. Let go of me, and today's punishment will be doubled."

"Your Highness~" Lin Ruoshui dared not let go, her coquettish voice reaching Xuan Yuan Yu's ears.

Xuanyuan Yu immediately felt refreshed, his blood flow accelerated, and his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys all entered a good state of function.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Today you are nothing more than an accessory to me. If I let go, you won't escape unscathed."

"Okay~" Lin Ruoshui deliberately brought her mouth close to Xuan Yuan Yu's earlobe, and the hot breath entered Xuan Yuan Yu's ear, making half of his body feel numb, and his face visibly turned red.

Seeing the two of them embracing so intimately, completely disregarding others, Wu Xiuying was furious. She said, "Cousin, who is she? How can you tolerate such a frivolous woman?"

Lin Ruoshui said with a hint of jealousy, "Your Highness, you have a cousin? Is she a younger cousin or a lover?"

Seeing Lin Ruoshui pouting and pretending to be angry, Xuanyuan Yu found it both cute and funny. He suppressed his laughter and said coldly, "This woman has nothing to do with me."

"Don't call me cousin anymore, or I'll cut out your tongue," Xuan Yuan Yu said, staring fiercely into Wu Xiu Ying's eyes.

Wu Xiuying staggered back two steps.

Xuanyuan Yu continued, "Steward Sun, if this woman appears in the front yard again, then you should go to the frontier to serve in the army with her."

Steward Sun was terrified and knelt down, saying, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Wu Xiuying was still about to speak, but the housekeeper ignored her and stuffed a handkerchief from his arms into her mouth before dragging her away.

Steward Sun dragged Wu Xiuying away, took out a handkerchief, and said, "Grandma, the Prince is a man of his word. Don't provoke him anymore, and don't come to the front yard again. If he really conscripts you into the army, do you know what will happen to you?"

Wu Xiuying asked angrily, "So what?"

“Women who are conscripted into the army will become prostitutes. Aren’t you afraid?” said Steward Sun.

Wu Xiuying suddenly turned pale, her heart pounding. She said timidly, "How dare he? I'm his cousin."

Seeing that this ignorant young lady was still stubborn, Steward Sun said, "You are the prince's cousin who has no blood relation to him. If the prince acknowledges you, then you are his cousin. If he does not acknowledge you, he will send you to the military camp to be used by many soldiers for sexual pleasure, and then you will never return."

Wu Xiuying cried, and as she sobbed, she ran towards the backyard. Steward Sun thought to himself, "She must be going to find Wu Shi. This is definitely not over."

……

"They've left, let's go to the study to talk." Lin Ruoshui's arm, which was wrapped around Xuan Yuanyu's neck, was starting to ache.

Xuanyuan Yu noticed Lin Ruoshui's arm move and knew she was uncomfortable. So he picked her up with one hand, like an adult holding a child. Lin Ruoshui's bottom sat on Xuanyuan Yu's biceps, which felt a little uncomfortable, and she shifted her position slightly.

Xuanyuan Yu felt a tightness in his throat and stiffness in his limbs.

He tightened his grip on Lin Ruoshui with his arm and said, "Don't move."

Lin Ruoguo stopped moving and looked at Xuan Yuanyu curiously.

Lin Ruoshui looked down at his high, straight nose and said, "Your Highness, why aren't you leaving?"

Then Lin Ruoshui felt herself and Xuan Yuanyu fly up together, and after a few leaps, they arrived at the study.

Lin Ruoshui was placed on the desk by Xuan Yuanyu. Her legs were off the ground, swaying back and forth, and she still dared not let go of Xuan Yuanyu's neck.

Xuanyuan Yu sat in the chair, and the two looked at each other at eye level.

Xuanyuan Yu carefully examined Lin Ruoshui, who was dressed as a woman. She possessed a graceful and slender figure. Her skin was as smooth as jade, with a faint pinkish glow. Her waist was slender and her curves beautiful. Her breasts were extremely full, like undulating mountains. Her hips were rounded and slightly upturned, exuding an alluring charm.

Unconsciously swallowing, Xuan Yuan Yu felt his heart leap into his throat, choking him off the words he was about to say.

Seeing Xuan Yuan Yu staring at her with infatuation, Lin Ruoshui's heart trembled slightly. She said, "What? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Aren't I beautiful?"

Xuanyuan Yu nodded.

"Then let's become sworn brothers. From now on, you'll be my elder brother," Lin Ruoshui said with a grin.

Xuanyuan Yu got angry, his heart returned to its original position, and he said, "Sworn brothers?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "I'm so beautiful, you should be overjoyed to have a girl like me."

A chill ran through Xuan Yuan Yu's heart. Lin Ruo Shui always interrupted him when he was getting emotional. What was she afraid of? Xuan Yuan Yu knew he wouldn't get any answers now. He took a deep breath and said, "There's no need for a sworn brotherhood ceremony, but a wedding ceremony is fine."

He leaned down and pressed Lin Ruoshui down onto the table. Lin Ruoshui was startled and felt that the action was really ambiguous.
