The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

No sooner had he finished speaking than the others came in. Everyone was stunned by the scene. Chi Wenyuan frowned, a look of doubt on his handsome face.

"What's going on?" Yelü Yuanxiu blurted out.

Everyone looked puzzled. Although they didn't know what had happened, they could tell that the two had definitely had a conflict.

Kou Shuran, standing at the back of the crowd, secretly chuckled to herself. These two had finally broken off all pretense of civility. She had previously wholeheartedly wanted to get along with Jing Anle and Jing Rou, but she never expected that one of them was the one who had plotted against her, and the other was the person her beloved admired.

She was overjoyed by their infighting.

At this moment, both Jing Anle and Jing Rou were sitting on the ground. Although Jing Rou had a red mark on her face, the rest of her body was intact. However, Jing Anle's hair was disheveled, her hairpin had fallen to the ground, and even her clothes were torn. Her eyes were brimming with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

When Xiao Heng saw Jing Anle's expression, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but want to take a step forward, but then he seemed to remember something and silently pulled his foot back.

A woman as intelligent as her would never allow herself to get into such a situation, unless... she did it on purpose.

"Princess!" Qi Zhi stepped forward directly, his eyes fixed on Jing Rou, his concern evident.

Can'er quickly stepped forward and helped Jing Rou up. Jing Rou was so embarrassed to see so many people and to see her like this. She was secretly angry, thinking that it was all Jing Anle's fault for making her look so bad!

"It has nothing to do with the princess; it is all my fault. If the princess hit me, I should bear it."

With a casual remark, Jing Rou shifted all the blame onto Jing Anle, accusing her of hitting her, and began to cry as she spoke. At that moment, Jing Rou stood up, but Jing Anle, who was slowly trying to get up by supporting herself on A Fang's hand, suddenly lost her balance and fell straight down against A Fang.

"Princess! Princess, what's wrong? Don't frighten me!" All that could be heard was Afang's startled cry.

"Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

Chaos erupted in the hall as the princess fainted. Everyone rushed to summon the imperial physician, but Xiao Heng stepped forward and shouted, "Make way!"

Everyone was stunned. Xiao Heng squatted down, glanced at Jing Anle, and then picked her up in his arms. Even though Jing Anle was not short, she still looked petite in Xiao Heng's arms.

Kou Shuran turned her head to look at Xiao Heng. Her heart was filled with resentment and grievance. Underneath her sleeve, which no one was watching, she clenched her fists tightly and thought to herself: Xiao Heng, is she really that good?

“Crown Prince Xiao…” Afang uttered blankly, seemingly feeling it was inappropriate given the difference between men and women.

"Do you want to delay the princess's treatment?" Xiao Heng said coldly, then picked up Jing Anle and strode out, with Afang hurriedly following behind.

Even though there was an inner room inside the Jiying Hall, Xiao Heng insisted on walking out. Everyone stared blankly, but no one stopped him. Kou Shuran's eyes, however, were extremely sinister.

Firstly, the princess is of noble status, and there are too many idle people here; it would be bad if word got out. Secondly, as their subjects, Xiao Heng has already stepped forward to help, so they don't need to interfere. Whether it's meritorious to save the princess or disrespectful to her, it's none of their business.

Xiao Heng did it on purpose. He knew Jing Anle was faking it, but he chose to cooperate with Jing Anle and finish the charade.

The weather was cool today, and a gentle breeze caressed his face. Even though he was holding Jing Anle, Xiao Heng didn't feel tired. Watching Jing Anle's eyelashes tremble incessantly in his arms, he felt a strong itch in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Open your eyes!" Xiao Heng whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Jing Anle also opened her eyes directly. Her body was almost nestled in Xiao Heng's chest and arms, like a baby lying in a cradle, feeling very safe.

Even through the fabric, she seemed to hear Xiao Heng's heartbeat. Jing Anle whispered, "You found out."

"What a little fox," Xiao Heng couldn't help but say, his smile never fading.

Jing Anle pursed her lips and stopped talking. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all in Xiao Heng's arms; in fact, she felt at ease. She looked up at the sky and saw a few egrets flying by. It turned out that this angle offered a unique view.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Heng looked down and their eyes met. At that moment, it was as if time stood still. They only had eyes for each other. At this moment, Xiao Heng wished that this road could be longer, much longer.
