The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

It was just past Chen Shi (7-9 AM) on this day.

At the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence.

Under the direction of the Prime Minister's wife, several guards and maids were stuffing things into a carriage one after another.

Wang Xiyue, who had already mounted her horse, was genuinely annoyed by her mother's constant instructions.

This isn't a trip to a nearby place, why does Mom want us to bring so much stuff? Is it really convenient for them to travel such a long distance?

I had already told my mother many times that I had prepared my luggage, so why was she still stuffing more into the carriage?

To avoid unnecessary trouble and to save time during this training trip, she had to disguise herself as a guard, wearing a plain dark blue guard uniform and with her face simply disguised, looking no different from an ordinary man.

Although she didn't care about her reputation, wasn't afraid of being talked about, or worried about whether she would be able to get married in the future, she was afraid that others would slander the Prime Minister's Mansion and that people with no sense of propriety would have bad opinions about her parents. Therefore, she had to be discreet enough when she left the capital.

As a guard, she found it difficult to speak up and stop her, so she could only remind her mother with a cough.

As a result, Li Lingling was too busy to see or hear it.

Wang Xijie was sitting in the carriage. He also felt that his mother's luggage was too exaggerated. If they didn't leave soon, his mother would probably fill the carriage to the brim. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hurriedly say goodbye to his mother, "Mother, we have enough stuff. We're leaving!"

"Mom, we'll be careful!"

After speaking, he directed the coachman to drive the horses away quickly; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was fleeing for his life.

Wang Xiyue waved to her mother and turned her horse around just before her mother's tears were about to fall.

She lifted the reins, squeezed the horse's belly with her legs, and gave a soft shout of "Giddy up!" The horse trotted and quickly chased after her brother's carriage.

Although she knew that there would be many partings in a person's life, she was still afraid to face her mother's tears every time they separated, afraid of her mother's sadness and reluctance.

Despite her reluctance, she longed to grow up quickly, to become strong enough to be unafraid of any enemy.

Perhaps every child dreams of exploring the vast world outside and realizing their youthful dreams.

Perhaps every parent who loves their child is reluctant to let their child leave their wings and hopes that their child can stay by their side, but in the end, they still have to face various separations from their children.

Compared to the reluctance of parents to let go, it seems easier for children to leave.

Wang Xijie was clearly focused on his long-held dream of wandering the martial arts world, so he didn't feel much sadness about parting.

Wang Xiyue was only there because of a vague dream, a little girl whose identity she didn't know kept appearing in her dreams.

She didn't know what she could do now. She could only follow her master's advice, travel all over the country, and do good deeds, so that she might be able to find the answer in her dream.

Kyoto Moon City is in Zhongzhou, and their first destination this time is Shancheng in Yunzhou, which is more than 200 miles away.

Wangjia Village in Ningyuan County belongs to Shancheng. It's where her father was born, and Wang Xiyue wants to go and see it.

Having spent too long in the glitz and glamour of Kyoto, she wanted to see different sights and experience firsthand the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society.

Not far from the capital, once they reached the official road, Wang Xijie dismounted from the carriage and mounted his beloved steed.

He was probably the most excited one in the group.

Originally, his father didn't want him to come out, since he still had a public office to hold. However, after his persistent pleading and his sister's repeated support, his father, wanting him to be able to protect his sister, reluctantly agreed to let him come out with his sister for training.

He wanted to tell the whole world how excited he was.

Wang Xijie took the lead and charged at the very front of the group. When they reached a sparsely populated and remote place, he roared at the top of his lungs, "Ah... Jianghu, here I come!"

Everyone seemed to be infected by his joy, and the horses seemed to want to compete as well, so the group of sixteen people ran like racehorses.

After traveling at full speed for nearly three hours, we finally arrived at our destination for the day.

When Wang Xijie saw the two large characters "Shancheng" on the city gate, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. If he kept running like this, he and his horse would be exhausted.

The excitement he felt when he left home in the morning had long since faded, and now he felt as tired as a worm.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted, and were finally able to lie down and rest once they entered the city; they were all exhausted from the jostling.

Only then did Wang Xijie realize that although they stopped to rest every half hour along the way, his sister had been silently riding alongside him the whole time.

He'd completely forgotten there was a girl in the group. He scratched his forehead and carefully apologized to his sister, "Yueyue, I was wrong. I completely forgot about you..."

Wang Xiyue saw that her brother had finally remembered her, which was not easy. She smiled slightly and shook her head helplessly, "It's okay. I'm not a delicate young lady. I've been practicing martial arts all along. Does brother look down on me?"

"Brother, don't blame yourself. It's tiring, but I can bear it."

This is her first time traveling far from home. She doesn't know anyone, and no one knows her, so there's no need for her to hide anything.

She didn't deliberately disguise herself as a man. After all, there were female guards, and pretending too much would not only be tiring for herself but also make others feel awkward.

Wang Xiyue said she was fine, but Dongfang Yu was very angry. When he saw that Xiyue's originally moist lips were now dry and peeling, he felt a surge of anger stuck in his chest, wanting to vent but unable to.

If it weren't for taking care of Young Master Wang's feelings, who would be riding horses in such a hurry? They didn't have anything urgent to deal with, so why did they have to rush for 800 li?

What should have been a day's journey, they accomplished in just half a day.

This is almost the same speed they traveled when they came from Dongyang Kingdom last time.

They, being grown men, could tolerate it, but unfortunately Yue was still a young woman. Even if she had a foundation in martial arts, she certainly had never been subjected to such torment.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law, Dongfang Yu would have loved to beat Wang Xijie to a pulp.

Wang Xijie belatedly rubbed his arms and muttered, "Why does it suddenly feel chilly? Is it going to rain?"

Wang Xiyue didn't even need to look at anyone to know that An Ye next to her was angry with her brother. She glanced to the side and saw An Ye glaring at her brother in front of her, her fiery eyes seeming to want to burn him through.

I don't know why the guy was so angry. Maybe he was too tired today, or maybe he had a hard time on the road and didn't know how to persuade his brother.

Yes, that must be it. After all, he is of noble status and usually travels by carriage. He must never have encountered such a difficult journey before.

It seems I need to take better care of my younger brother from now on, instead of just focusing on my older brother.

Looking at the dark night where strangers were kept at bay, Wang Xiyue wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she took two steps closer to him.

While leading the horse, she freed her right hand and gently shook the end of the young man's sleeve. "Young man, are you very tired?"

Dongfang Yu turned his head to look at the girl walking beside him, saw the concern in her eyes and the slight frown on her brows, and then looked down at the two fingers that were gripping his clothes. His pent-up anger suddenly dissipated completely.

He wanted her to get closer, but he didn't want her to get too close. Her current initiative to get closer was a sweet torment to him.

Dongfang Yu couldn't bear to cause trouble for the person she liked, so she firmly shook her head, "Xiyue, I'm not tired. Are you very tired?"

Wang Xiyue's thighs were probably chafed raw, and they were burning hot when she walked down. For some reason, she felt that the young man had suddenly become much gentler. She suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore, so she leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice, admitting with a bit of helplessness, "I'm really tired today, and my legs are chafed."

To hear her clearly, Dongfang Yu bent down slightly, bringing their heads very close together.

Dongfang Yu looked at Xiyue as she approached, her beautiful face so close to his, the faint fragrance of her hair reaching his nose. She was trying to lower her voice so her lips were almost touching his cheek.

At this moment, if he turned his head even just a tiny bit more, he could easily do what he had been thinking about for a long time...

The world before Dongfang Yu's eyes seemed to instantly become a blurry background, dim and lifeless. He could only see Xiyue; Xiyue was the only light that illuminated him.

He could only hear his own heart pounding wildly, thump, thump, thump, as if no other sound existed, and he couldn't even hear what Xiyue was saying.

He really couldn't resist the urge to hold the person in front of him in his arms.

Seeing that Dongfang Yu was not speaking and seemed to be in a daze, Wang Xiyue looked up to see what was wrong with him.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that he was sweating profusely, his ears were bright red, and his deep black eyes held an unfathomable glint.

Wang Xiyue felt a pang of panic and suddenly realized that her actions just now were very inappropriate. So she took a few steps back to increase the distance between the two of them, as if this would be safer. She hurriedly added, "However, there is still plenty of time to rest today, and it will definitely be better tomorrow."

It took Dongfang Yu a great deal of self-control to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and he realized as if waking from a dream that he was on a busy street.

As he watched Xiyue walk away, his legs moved uncontrollably toward her. His reason gradually returned, and he maintained a slight distance before speaking to comfort her: "I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I'll be more careful in the future. Xiyue, you've suffered!"

Wang Xiyue was a little confused. Why was he apologizing to her? He was responsible for protecting her safety, but he wasn't her husband. Why should he be responsible for everything about her? So she shook her head awkwardly.

At this moment, Wang Xijie was clearing the way ahead, looking for an inn where they could rest, so he didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening behind him, and naturally didn't see this intimate scene.

But the guards of the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince Xian's residence could see it clearly. This was not inappropriate at all; it was obviously overly intimate!

If they're pulling and whispering in public, strangers will automatically assume they're a couple!

The guards were already exhausted from rushing so quickly, and now these two were making such intimate gestures in front of them, which made their already fragile hearts even more miserable.

He was truly traumatized, both physically and mentally!

In fact, neither of them felt that their behavior was out of line; they thought it was just a normal and natural interaction.

But in the eyes of the people in the Prime Minister's residence, that was an earth-shattering and abnormal situation!

The Prime Minister's residence was accompanied by six guards: Wang Yi, Chen Lin, Chen Gang, Wang Shi, Wang Yu, Li Yang, and Li Feng. These six guards had been with the residence for anywhere from five to ten years and knew their young mistress very well.

Putting aside the fact that Miss was young before, based on their nearly three months of contact, they have a deep understanding of Miss's personality. She is rarely affectionate even when facing the Madam, and in the mansion, she automatically keeps a distance of seven or eight steps from the maids or guards.

The young lady's aloofness and occasional imposing aura sometimes surpassed even that of the master; she would never allow anyone outside her family to come within two steps of her.

But now, not only is the young lady not keeping her distance, she is also actively moving closer to Dark Night. Isn't this a completely different way of treating her?

On the other hand, the people from the Prince Xian's residence were somewhat prepared and were not surprised. In fact, they felt that their prince had already acted very gentlemanly.

Considering that a large group would attract too much attention, only six people from the Prince Xian's Mansion, namely Mo Yun, Xiao Yun, Xuan Tian, ​​Xuan Yi, An Ying, and An Yi, were sent on this trip. The other guards naturally accompanied them in secret.

The six of them were considered veterans of the manor. Over the past six years, they had all known how much the prince had longed for Miss Xiyue every day. Now that the prince had the opportunity to be by Miss Xiyue's side, it would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to get closer to her.

Since the prince met Miss Xiyue, he has been unusually gentle with them every day. They knew he was in an extremely happy mood without the prince saying anything.

If it weren't for Young Master Wang Xijie and a group of outsiders, the prince would probably have clung even more to Miss Xiyue.

Judging from the current way the Prince and Miss Xiyue get along, it's clear that the Prince cares more. They don't know what Miss Xiyue is thinking, and they can only pray that the Prince will get what he wants.

However, it remains to be seen whether the prince's plan to switch the beams and pillars will succeed.

They don't know whether Miss Xiyue likes "Dark Night" or the Prince. This is a question they can't think about too much, it's too much of a headache!

The prince has already given himself away for free without even knowing the other person's feelings. Who knows what earth-shattering things the prince will do next?

Mo Yun began to worry. If the prince got too deeply involved and didn't get a response from Miss Xiyue, would he take it out on them, the bystanders?

The group exchanged knowing glances, realizing they shouldn't let the prince become too engrossed in it.

The relationship between the prince and Miss Xiyue is still very far off; they need to urge the prince to be more rational.

So Mo Yun coughed a few times, walked to Wang Xijie's right rear without making a sound, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master Xijie, how about I send someone to inquire around first, and then we can decide where to stay after considering all the factors?"

Wang Xijie had never traveled far from home and found Mo Yun's suggestion to be very convenient and efficient. Having more people to investigate and compare prices would prevent them from being ripped off. "Brother Mo is indeed very thoughtful. You can make the arrangements then!"

"Yes!" After accepting the order, Mo Yun approached Xiao Yun and the others and carefully instructed them on the precautions for the investigation.

Xiao Yun quietly gave Mo Yun a thumbs up.

Indeed, Mo Yun's request will surely make Young Master Wang Xijie turn back. Then he will naturally pay attention to the Prince's every move, and can not only directly stop him, but also supervise the Prince to prevent him from doing anything too intimate with Miss Xiyue.

Moreover, they were able to make their presence felt in front of everyone in the Prime Minister's residence, fully demonstrating the competence and magnanimity of the Prince Xian's Mansion.

That's truly killing three birds with one stone!

Hmm, not bad, that's a brilliant plan!

Xiao Yun, Xuan Tian, ​​and Xuan Yi exchanged a glance, then happily chose a direction each to inquire about suitable inns for lodging.

Just as they expected, when Dongfang Yu's gaze swept over Wang Xijie's sideways movement, he immediately straightened up uncomfortably, taking a step back from Xiyue's side.

Mo Yun felt a little relieved to see that her master finally knew to avoid suspicion.

Wang Xijie had already learned from her sister that Dongfang Yu had specially sent seven guards to protect her this time, on the grounds that it was to repay the debt of curing her poison.

Wang Xijie was originally very averse to Dongfang Yu, but considering Mo Yun's unfathomable martial arts skills, it was indeed most appropriate for them to protect his sister. With them around, his sister would definitely be safer, so he temporarily compromised and allowed the seven of them to travel together.

But when he turned around, he was almost furious. This Dark Night was standing so close to his sister. Like master, like servant. How despicable!

If Yueyue hadn't been there, preventing him from taking action, he would have kicked her long ago.

He needs to find a private opportunity to teach this brat a lesson for taking advantage of his sister on their first meeting.

Dongfang Yu naturally sensed Wang Xijie's unfriendly gaze, but he didn't care. If it weren't for Xiyue's sake, who knows who would have beaten whom up.
