The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Jing Anle was so focused on the little girl that he suddenly remembered that the frightened horse was a Akhal-Teke horse, a breed only found in the palace, and had been given as a gift to the Kingdom of Damon last year. How could it have appeared in the Kingdom of Jing now?

Jing Anle, filled with doubt, called out, "Mu Ping!"

"Princess, what are your orders?" Mu Ping, who was sitting next to her, replied.

Jing Anle opened the small window and saw that the horse had been tamed and was being led away by the groom.

"Follow that coachman and find out whose horse it is. I'll be waiting for you at the Imperial Immortal Pavilion up ahead!" Jing Anle said.

Mu Ping immediately understood Jing Anle's meaning, "Yes, Princess!"

After saying that, Jing Anle shouted to the guards outside, "Stop the car!"

"What are your orders, Princess?" a guard outside the carriage asked.

"Go to Yuxian Tower!" Jing Anle commanded, putting on a veil as she spoke to avoid being recognized. It was better to wear it.

"Yes!" the guard replied, and the carriage began to sway gently again.

Yuxianlou is a famous restaurant in the capital. Not only is the food delicious, but the environment is also elegant. However, the prices are high, so the patrons are all high-ranking officials and nobles.

The carriage soon stopped in front of the Imperial Immortal Pavilion. The servant at the door saw that Jing Anle was dressed in extraordinary clothes and could be seen as a noble lady from some family. He said warmly, "Please follow me!"

"What would you gentlemen like to order? Our restaurant's signature dishes are absolutely amazing..."

"Give me a private room by the window!" Jing Anle interrupted the servant, speaking in a calm tone.

Afang took a gold ingot from her bosom and threw it to the servant, who smiled even more broadly.

The servant understood what these distinguished guests meant and immediately said sensibly, "It's noisy here, please come with me to the other side where it's quieter!"

So the group went to a private room. The environment was quiet and elegant, truly befitting its reputation as the best restaurant in the capital, and it was indeed different from ordinary restaurants outside.

"Bring me some of your signature dishes!" Jing Anle said to the waiter.

"okay!"

Two guards stood at the door to protect Jing Anle's safety. Inside the house, Jing Anle looked out the window and saw a bustling market on one side and a quiet alley on the other.

Jing Anle nodded to Mu Ping, who then leaped down from the quiet window and disappeared instantly.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Sir, your dishes are ready."

Afang stepped forward, opened the door, took the food, and said, "Our young lady doesn't like to be disturbed while she's eating!"

The servant nodded and left without saying another word.

Afang placed several dishes on the table, their presentation exquisite. Jing Anle looked at them and said, "Indeed, they are excellent!"

Suddenly, Afang felt something was wrong with her stomach, which was making a rumbling sound. "Princess, I... I have a stomachache!" Afang said, clutching her stomach in discomfort.

Jing Anle could also tell that Afang was not feeling well, and asked anxiously, "Afang?" Memories of her past life resurfaced, and she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to ask any more questions.

Afang's forehead was already sweating. "Princess, I'm fine. I think I just ate something bad..."

Hearing this, Jing Anle realized she had been scared for nothing and shook her head helplessly, "Go quickly!"

Afang rushed to the next room, where only Jing Anle remained.

Jing Anle gently picked up a piece of golden threadfin fish with her chopsticks, and it tasted quite good.

Suddenly, there was a sound of tiles breaking under the other window. Mu Ping is back so soon?

"Mu Ping!" Jing Anle called softly. Turning around, she saw it wasn't Mu Ping, but Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was dressed in a light blue outer robe today, and his hair was held up with only a jade hairpin. His whole appearance was simple and clean, but it still couldn't hide his noble air.

Jing Anle was quite surprised, but quickly composed herself and said calmly, "So Crown Prince Xiao is so interested in climbing through windows?"

Xiao Heng simply clasped his hands in a fist salute, leaned against the window, and did not answer directly, but instead said, "Princess Anle, won't you invite me to sit down?"

"Please!"

Xiao Heng casually walked to the stool, sat down, smelled it, and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

Jing Anle's expression was calm and indifferent. Xiao Heng suddenly remembered that afternoon when Jing Anle had been laughing so heartily and carefree. How could she be so cold and indifferent to him, like a completely different person?

"Does Prince Xiao have something to discuss with me?"

After Xiao Heng took the girl home today, he saw a woman fly down from the window at the corner. He didn't want to interfere, but he saw a token fall from the woman's body. He picked it up and saw that it said Yongfu Palace. He guessed that Jing Anle might be up there, and sure enough, it was so.

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Xiao Heng felt like a scoundrel after saying that.

He took out a token from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "I saw a woman drop it just now, and I guess it's someone from your palace."

Jing Anle composed herself, picked up the token—it was indeed from her palace—and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince Xiao!"

Xiao Heng raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of excitement. Just as he was about to speak, a commotion erupted downstairs.

"Young master, stop!"

“My sister is just an ordinary peasant girl, how could she be worthy of you, young master!” a man said.

Xiao Heng and Jing Anle both looked out the window at the same time. They saw a young man selling calligraphy and paintings entangled with another richly dressed young man, and a pretty girl hiding behind the young man.

"It's her good fortune that I, this young master, have taken a liking to her!" The wealthy young man continued in a crude tone, "Ye Zhaoping, don't be shameless, I'm going to take your sister!"

"Brother, save me, brother..." the woman cried out as she struggled.

After saying that, he ordered his attendants to pull the man away. The man was no match for them and was thrown to the ground. He cursed, "Fang Xianda, you're just taking advantage of being the heir of the Marquis of Xinyang to dare to abduct a woman in the street! I'm going to sue you!"

Marquis of Xinyang? Jing Anle remembered this person; he had a close relationship with Prince Qing.

The wealthy man laughed loudly, "Sue me? I didn't hear wrong! You're just a commoner, fine, go ahead and sue me, let's see if the authorities dare to arrest me!" After saying that, he kicked the man again and again, and the man rolled around on the ground in pain.

"Brother Fang?" At this moment, another wealthy young man walked over!

It was Murong Peifeng. Jing Anle's eyes widened. What was he doing here?

Xiao Heng noticed that Jing Anle's expression was off, and he also looked out the window at Murong Peifeng, wondering if that was the person Jing Anle liked.

Murong Peifeng didn't know what he whispered in the man's ear, but he heard the wealthy young man shout, "You're lucky today!"

After saying this, the group actually followed Murong Peifeng away.

"What does Crown Prince Xiao think?" Jing Anle turned to ask Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng took a sip of tea and said, "That bully will definitely cause trouble for the siblings again! I'm afraid they think they've escaped this calamity."

“You’re right, that person must be seeking revenge.” Jing Anle agreed, “In this peaceful and prosperous era, how dare he be so rampant! There must be a powerful force behind him. Now that you’ve seen it with your own eyes, that’s why I asked you for help last time!”

After Jing Anle said those words to her last time, Xiao Heng sent people to investigate. Sure enough, his deduction was correct; there was a person in Jing Kingdom with malicious intentions.
