The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

Xiao Yun knew that his master cared most about Miss Xiyue, so without waiting for his father's reply, he volunteered to report: "Master, Miss Xiyue hasn't gone out much since returning home."

"My subordinates, under the pretext of expressing our gratitude to our master, made a special visit to inquire about the situation."

"Afterwards, she volunteered to work odd jobs at the Prime Minister's residence. Miss Xiyue did not refuse. I feel that she is not actually averse to the approach of people in my department."

"During the month I helped out at the Prime Minister's residence, I witnessed it firsthand..."

While Xiao Yun was talking eloquently, he didn't notice that his father was desperately trying to wink at him.

He felt he had done an excellent job, having built a good relationship with Miss Xiyue in advance, which would help his master get closer to the young lady in a natural way.

I'm sure my master will praise me for working so hard.

Even someone as oblivious as Mo Yun could tell that Xiao Yun's smile was too irritating, and he looked like he deserved a beating.

As Dongfang Yu watched Xiao Yun recount her interactions with Xi Yue with a beaming smile, he couldn't suppress his jealousy.

Xiao Yun deserves to be taught a lesson. Doesn't he know that Xi Yue belongs to him?

Could you please tone down that undisguised admiration and adoration?

Do I need him to teach me how to approach Xiyue?

Dongfang Yu felt increasingly cold all over.

Slow to react, Xiao Yun finally realized that the surroundings were a bit cold and sensed that something was wrong. So she stopped her incessant chatter and cautiously asked, "Master, is it because I did something wrong?"

Dongfang Yu gritted her teeth, "You did a great job!"

What kind of reward do you want?

Xiao Yun was overjoyed to receive the praise. "Master, I have successfully completed the task you assigned me. Um, when can I return to headquarters?"

Dongfang Yu chuckled and said calmly, "I see that you've performed so well. I believe this is the place where you can best demonstrate your value. You should settle down here!"

Xiao Yun almost cried after hearing this; all his dreams over the past few days had been in vain.

His future is bleak.

He doesn't want to live anymore!

He didn't know when he had offended his master. He had tried so hard to get close to Miss Xiyue and went to great lengths to please her, so why was the prince still punishing him?

Seeing his son's lifeless expression, Xiao Fulai really didn't want to get involved, since his son had made the decision on his own.

He now deeply understood how possessive his master was of Miss Xiyue, so he could only change the subject.

Since they were his own flesh and blood, he still intended to help: "Master, are any of you injured?"

"What are your plans for the next steps, Master?"

This trip was extremely dangerous, but surviving was the best outcome, and Dongfang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Every subordinate was handpicked by him, and he could never afford to sacrifice anyone: "They're all minor injuries, nothing serious."

"I need to think about Xiyue's coming-of-age banquet more carefully. We'll discuss it again tomorrow."

After Dongfang Yu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage to rest.

The most urgent task now is to recover from the injury.

Fighting a war when your troops are exhausted is a major taboo in military strategy.

Shopkeeper Xiao noticed that the prince had lost a lot of weight and guessed that he must have been injured and lost too much blood. In addition, everyone was exhausted and their spirits were low.

Seeing that the prince was silent, the others also kept quiet, trying to minimize their presence and not disturb him.

Thankfully, everyone is still here, everyone is still alive.

Now that they have the protection of the branch's power, they can finally relax their tense emotions. The feeling of surviving a disaster silently spreads in the hearts of the guards.

Only during this moment of relaxation did the group dare to think about the hardships of their journey.

Along the way, most of the ambushes they encountered came from the Second Prince and the First Prince, who probably thought that the Prince had come to seek outside help through a marriage alliance.

Therefore, the plan was to wipe them all out within the territory of the Western Moon Kingdom and frame them, so the assassins dispatched for each encirclement and suppression operation were all elites.

Mo Yun felt very fortunate that everyone was alive.

Although everyone was injured, some more severely and some less so, even the prince had many wounds, it was a great blessing that no one was missing an arm or a leg and was still alive.

In the past, almost every mission resulted in the loss of a comrade. This time, I don't know if it was because of the prince's determination not to give up that everyone was more united and worked harder.

Although he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself at any time while following his master, and had become accustomed to the life and death of his companions, Mo Yun would not abandon any of his companions unless absolutely necessary, provided that his master's safety was guaranteed.

This was the first time Xuan Tian and Xuan Yi had shared joys and sorrows with the prince, and their feelings of change were particularly evident.

At first, the two of them simply did their duty respectfully, but the prince's behavior along the way completely won them over.

The prince did his best to protect each and every one of them. Several times he could have left without getting hurt, but in the end he gave up leaving first, just to fight alongside them.

The prince truly valued their lives, not merely treating them as dispensable guards or servants he could discard at any time.

Xuan Tian and Xuan Yi were very envious of the captains of the two teams of secret guards. After all, they had gone through life and death with the prince for so many years, and their feelings for the prince must be deeper than those of the others.

Of these seventeen people, besides Mo Yun, the ones who knew the prince best were indeed An Ying and Anye.

The two of them were originally the prince's personal bodyguards, and they had been inseparable since childhood.

When the prince came to the Western Moon Kingdom's palace as a hostage, the two of them were unable to accompany him.

This indirectly led to the prince suffering such great humiliation in the palace. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Miss Xiyue, the prince would certainly have met with dire consequences.

For a long time, the two of them felt guilty and ashamed for failing the prince's cultivation.

They would only be able to protect the prince again after he returned to the capital two years later, so they cherished this opportunity even more.

They had also sworn that they would never again become a burden to the prince.

Where your heart leads you is where you belong.

They all firmly believed that the Prince Xian's Mansion was their home, and the Prince was their pillar of support.

They were not only subordinates of the Prince's mansion, but also companions of the Prince.

Sharing life and death is the greatest loyalty they can show.

……

Day two.

Blue Robe Pavilion, third floor.

After a night's rest, everyone had recovered to about 70-80% of their normal size, except for Dongfang Yu.

Because Dongfang Yu barely slept that night, he could suppress his thoughts before because thinking about it was useless, but now that Xiyue was so close, how could he possibly stop thinking about her?

The inability to sleep all night left Dongfang Yu in a state of extreme fatigue and excitement.

He also realized that he might look terrible, so when he appeared in front of everyone, he consciously put on a mask again to prevent his subordinates from seeing his dark circles.

When Xiao Yun saw her master appear, she was both surprised and concerned. "Master, our pavilion is very safe. You can rest assured. It must be so stuffy wearing a mask. Please take it off!"

At this moment, Dongfang Yu doubted his judgment in choosing the person. How could he have chosen such an incompetent subordinate? But considering that he would need to use him later, he could only endure it for the time being: "I am not bored. This way is safe."

"What time are you going to the Prime Minister's residence today?"

Xiao Yun didn't react immediately, "What are you going to the Prime Minister's residence for?"

Dongfang Yu emphasized, "Aren't you going to the Prime Minister's residence?"

Xiao Yun was dumbfounded. "Master, the Prime Minister's residence is almost ready. I plan to follow you closely these next few days and obey your orders."

Under his master's increasingly cold gaze, Xiao Yun suddenly realized something and immediately changed his words, "However, I can go and see if there is any finishing work. Please wait a moment, Master, I will go and ask right away."

So it turns out that the master couldn't wait to see Miss Xiyue. Why didn't he just say so directly? It's so awkward.

Dongfang Yu was a little impatient. After thinking that they would meet sooner or later, she decided it was better to go and make a formal visit. "Wait a minute!"

"I'll go with you to pay a visit."

Xiao Yun felt that her master's idea was too risky: "Master, is this a good idea?"

You don't know her well. Even if I vouch for you, if you approach Miss Xiyue wearing a mask, she won't know who you are. What if the Prime Minister's Mansion treats you like a hooligan?

Because of the constant attempts by people to inquire about or propose to Miss Xiyue over the past two months, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's residence, Wang Xijie, arranged for guards inside and outside the residence to prevent his sister from being disturbed, making it as secure as an iron fortress.

Those men whom the prime minister disliked, who did not go through a matchmaker, and who did not submit a formal invitation to marry, were all treated as bad people and thrown out by Prince Wang.

Xiao Yun looked at the prince, secretly thinking: Master, if you were also hit, the other party would be your future brother-in-law. Would you dare to hit back?

Dongfang Yu had no other concerns; all he wanted now was to see Xiyue: "Let's go! Lead the way."

"Mo Yun and I will go with you."

"Don't forget to tell Mo Yun to bring the four gifts I prepared."

Dongfang Yu was actually more worried than Xiao Yun, but he thought that Mo Yun was a familiar face at the Prime Minister's residence, so he shouldn't be unable to get in.

Xiao Yun knew that her master had no choice but to go, so she could only nervously go and fetch the carriage.

The three of them soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence.

"host......"

Mo Yun realized her mistake as soon as she opened her mouth and immediately corrected herself, "An Ye, bring the gifts."

For security reasons, the gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's residence has been replaced by Wang Yi, the leader of the second guard group, in the past two months.

Wang Yi and Xiao Yun were already quite familiar with each other. After all, Xiao Yun had visited countless times in the past two months. He was incredibly shameless and his attitude was always just right. Since their young lady didn't mind, everyone in the manor gradually accepted their various attempts to curry favor.

Everyone got used to him showing up every few days.

Privately, some servants even joked that he might want to work at the Prime Minister's residence.

Therefore, Wang Yi did not make things difficult for Xiao Yun today, but pointed to Mo Yun and Dongfang Yu who came with him and said, "These two strangers cannot go in."

Seeing the expected obstruction, Xiao Yun politely explained, "Brother Wang, these are Mo Yun and Anye. They have come to pay a visit on orders. This is their visiting card. Please go and inform them."

“They are all friends of Young Master Wang and Miss Wang. They will definitely know about Mo Yun as soon as you mention him.”

Don't you trust me?

"I vouch for you, they are all good people."

Wang Yi rolled her eyes: "Hmph! I don't know anything about you."

"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."

However, he was also getting annoyed by Xiao Yun's incessant chatter, so he had no choice but to send another guard with a letter to ask for instructions.

"Wait!"

Mo Yun watched as his prince could only disguise himself as a guard, standing stiffly beside the carriage, holding gifts in both hands.

This prince of a nation, personally visiting someone's home, was not welcomed; even the gatekeepers didn't give him a friendly look.

It's so pitiful that you can only stand by the door and wait to be announced when you're giving someone a gift!

He could only silently shed a tear of sympathy for his prince.

But then he thought about it again. This was his master's savior, and very likely the future princess's family. Suddenly, he no longer felt aggrieved for the prince.

Well, it's only right that he's being neglected since he's taking away someone's daughter whom they've raised with such care for over ten years.

If he had a daughter, he wouldn't easily let any brat marry her.

Putting herself in his shoes, Mo Yun actually felt that the prince deserved it.

Compared to Mo Yun's nonchalant attitude, Dongfang Yu and Xiao Yun were much more anxious.

Especially for Dongfang Yu, it felt as if a thousand years had passed in just a moment.

Every breath he took was agonizing for him.

Has the people in the Prime Minister's office forgotten about him over the past six years?

Just as Dongfang Yu's mood was about to plummet, the gates of the Prime Minister's residence opened.

Wang Xijie was the first to step forward. When he saw that it was indeed Mo Yun, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but take a few steps forward to give him a big hug. "Brother Mo, it's been a long time!"

This was the master he had always dreamed of, so of course he had to get along with him.

Mo Yun not only kept his distance from women, but also disliked getting close to men. Therefore, he skillfully avoided Wang Xijie's outstretched arms and politely bowed, saying, "Thank you for the Prime Minister's Mansion for saving our Prince's life. I have come to disturb your esteemed residence today!"

Wang Xijie felt a little embarrassed seeing Mo Yun's resistance, so he could only politely follow suit and say, "Please!"

Father rarely has days off, and the family is holding his younger sister's coming-of-age banquet, so Wang Xijie has been taking leave to help out at home for the past two weeks.

Since his mother was a woman, it was inconvenient for her to receive male guests, so Wang Xijie received all male guests.

Upon seeing the letter from the Third Prince of Dongyang, he initially thought it was Dongfang Yu himself who had come. However, after a closer look, he realized that Dongfang Yu had simply sent Mo Yun to visit.

Fortunately, it was Mo Yun. He didn't want to see Dongfang Yu cause such chaos in their Prime Minister's mansion after just one meeting, leaving his younger sister worried sick and having nightmares.

He doesn't want to happen again.

He had assumed his sister had forgotten about Dongfang Yu, since she had never mentioned him in the past six years. However, when she heard from the guards that guests from Dongyang Kingdom had come to visit, her reaction was even stronger than his. She even insisted on meeting them in the living room.

Under Wang Xijie's guidance.

Mo Yun was in front, followed by Xiao Yun.

Dongfang Yu, carrying four boxes, lowered her head slightly and silently followed the three inside.
