The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

The night passed peacefully.

Wang Xiyue was trying to figure out how to get along with her boyfriend, but she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

She was still a little incredulous when she woke up the next morning. She thought she would have insomnia because of the pain from her wound and because of the young man's indecent behavior, but she had a good night's sleep without any dreams.

She checked the wound and found that the bruising had dispersed and the broken skin had scabbed over. Her thigh was no longer red and swollen, but instead felt cool and comfortable. No wonder she slept so soundly; it turned out that the doctor's medicine was more effective than she had expected.

Unlike Wang Xiyue, the two people who suffered the most that night were Dongfang Yu and Wang Xijie.

Dongfang Yu was afraid and worried. He was afraid that Xiyue would be disgusted by his reckless behavior during the day, and he was also worried that Xiyue would no longer pay attention to him from now on.

After all, she doesn't know her true identity yet, and someone as determined as her wouldn't be two-timing.

She seemed quite concerned about her past self in the palace, as evidenced by the letters she had received. Therefore, it's highly likely that she no longer likes the "dark night" persona she's portrayed.

After careful comparison and analysis, he also keenly sensed that Xiyue treated Xiao Ge differently from others in some ways. At least she allowed him to get close, which might mean that Xiao Ge still had a chance.

Dongfang Yu tossed and turned all night between whether she liked me or not, her thoughts were in turmoil, and the more she thought about it, the less she could sleep. She stayed up until well past midnight.

When he woke up in the morning, his complexion was naturally not good either, as if he had been seriously ill. If it weren't for the mask covering his face, it would probably have frightened Mo Yun and the others.

If Dongfang Yu suffered mental torment, then Wang Xijie suffered physical torment.

Wang Xijie was really beaten up; he was almost covered in bruises, if not completely covered in them.

Later, he applied Mo Yun's medicine, and the pain instantly intensified. It was not only painful but also spicy and extremely itchy. The burning sensation was like applying chili powder, and the itching felt like countless insects were crawling around in his flesh, blood vessels, meridians, and bones.

If Mo Yun hadn't come to help tie his hands at the last moment, he probably would have not only scratched himself raw, but also wanted to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall.

In fact, Mo Yun himself did not know that most of the good medicines concocted by the evil doctor contained Gu worms, since the evil doctor was known for using Gu.

This medicine for sprains and bruises does indeed contain a type of Gu worm called "Light Gu." These Gu worms are as small as a hair and as short as a needle tip, and no one but the Gu worm breeder can detect them.

It is in a dormant state at room temperature, but will quickly wake up when exposed to high temperatures.

This worm doesn't eat flesh; it burrows into the skin and moves around slowly. It doesn't stay in the body for long because there's no food for it. So, it will die of exhaustion after about half an hour and then be absorbed by the body.

Because of this characteristic, many people who raise Gu poison like to use it to torture people. It leaves no trace afterward and does not harm people's lives, but it can make people itch unbearably.

If you can't resist scratching, the result will naturally be torn skin and wounds. If there's no good medicine afterwards, you'll definitely be left with scars that are difficult to remove for life.

The wicked doctor also took advantage of the characteristics of the light insect, which is why he used a special method to soak it in excellent medicine, allowing it to absorb enough medicinal properties. Once a person uses this medicine, it can carry the medicinal power into the human body, achieving the effects of removing blood stasis, repairing tendons and veins, and reconnecting bones.

The guards of the Prince Xian's mansion have undergone various high-intensity training programs for a long time, and their physical fitness has been transformed into something incredibly strong.

They often have to deal with death, so saving healing time is equivalent to saving their lives. That's why the evil doctor developed this extremely fast-acting medicine based on their constitution.

He didn't tell Mo Yun any precautions about the medicine, because he didn't expect Mo Yun to use it on an ordinary person. People with poor physical condition or weak willpower might be driven crazy or commit suicide if they used it.

It can only be said that Wang Xijie was lucky. He was a martial artist, so his physical fitness was naturally excellent. In addition, he had a strong will and no hidden injuries.

Otherwise, it's highly likely that Mo Yun's well-intentioned act would turn the Prince Xian's Mansion into an irreconcilable enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Moreover, the greatest benefit of these Gu worms is that after they die, they turn into nutrients for the human body, which can nourish the bones and blood. They are truly an essential item for harming people at home or while traveling.

As for the spiciness, it really is chili peppers, because only chili water can quickly raise the temperature of the skin surface and stimulate the worms to wake up more quickly.

After enduring what felt like torture for half an hour, the burning and itching sensations gradually subsided, and the pain in his body lessened. He even thought he had become numb from the pain and lost his sense of pain. Finally, he fainted from exhaustion.

After confirming that Young Master Xijie's pulse was stable and he had simply fallen asleep, Mo Yun went back to her room to sleep.

Mo Yun was actually a little dissatisfied with the young master Xi Jie's patience, after all, the guards of their Prince Xian's Mansion could control themselves when they used this drug.

If Wang Xijie knew the special properties of this medicine, he would probably be so rebellious as to cut his idol, whom he had always admired, into pieces.

In fact, Mo Yun just made a mistake that many people make: judging others by one's own standards.

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you; do not demand that others do what you yourself cannot do. Conversely, what you can do, others may not be able to do.

In fact, people cannot be compared with each other. After all, everyone's foundation is different. Some people are good at literature, some are good at martial arts. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, everyone's growth environment and innate conditions are different.

There are countless geniuses in this world, but there are also far more mediocre people.

A correct outlook on life means acknowledging that there are people who are better than you, and also recognizing that there are people who are not as good as you.

The saying "comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable" is true and not a good idea. If you really want to compare yourself to others, you should compare yourself to yourself in the past, present, and future. Only such comparisons are meaningful, rather than competing with others.

After everyone had washed up, tidied up, and finished breakfast, it was already past 7:30 AM.

After greeting her brother, Wang Xiyue boarded the carriage on her own. She didn't wear the pink palace dress she wore yesterday; seeing that dress reminded her of her brother's shameless behavior.

Therefore, today I changed into the blue outfit that Blue Robe Pavilion gave me. It was simple and neat, and felt very refreshing and comfortable to wear. It would also make it easier to act if I encountered danger while out and about.

She is now trying to avoid being alone with the guy and doesn't want to talk to him. She hasn't figured out the relationship between them yet, so she can only stay away for the time being.

Seeing the girl he liked being so cold to him, Dongfang Yu felt a pang of heartache. At the last moment before the group was about to depart, disregarding the thoughts of others, he resolutely pressed down on the horse's back, quickly dismounted, and floated into the carriage.

The guards of both the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince Xian's residence once again deeply felt the shamelessness of An Ye.

Although Wang Xijie already knew that "Dark Night" was Dongfang Yu and had promised not to stop him from pursuing his sister, this brat should at least have some sense of propriety and shame. To be alone with his sister so openly in front of so many outsiders is simply too shameless.

Given the shamelessness of this brat, he was sure he would do something indecent to his sister. He had to stop it from happening in time, so Wang Xijie quickly dismounted and followed Dongfang Yu into the carriage.

Seeing the deliveryman come in, Wang Xiyue glared at him angrily. Why was this guy so clingy? Didn't he see that she didn't want to talk to him right now?

The carriage was so small that there was no way to avoid him, so she had to move to a corner and sit further away, turning her head to the other side so she wouldn't see him. But now that she saw him, she couldn't help but recall the scene of the two of them being close together yesterday.

Just as Dongfang Yu was about to sit down close to Xiyue, he felt someone approaching from behind, so he quickly moved to the side to avoid them.

Hearing the noise, Wang Xiyue turned her head and saw her brother getting into the carriage. She was very surprised. When she saw her brother in the morning, he didn't look tired at all and was as energetic as if he had just set off. Why did he need to take a carriage now? She asked in confusion, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Xijie couldn't very well say he was there to supervise Dongfang Yu, so he touched his nose and made up an excuse, "I was just worried that you'd be bored in the car by yourself, Yueyue, so I came to keep you company and keep you entertained."

"Your brother is in good health, don't worry."

"I'm not like some men who can't handle a short distance."

After saying that, Wang Xijie looked at Dongfang Yu meaningfully. He was almost pointing at Dongfang Yu's head to tell his sister that this weak man was the brat in front of him.

Dongfang Yu pretended not to see or hear, and still chose to sit as close as possible to Xiyue on the same side, completely ignoring Wang Xijie. Since they had already been frank yesterday, there was no need for him to continue pretending in front of him.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law, and it were any ordinary person who was so persistent, Dongfang Yu would have slapped them away long ago.

Looking at Dongfang Yu's self-righteous attitude, Wang Xijie really wanted to take back what he had promised yesterday. He was already starting to regret it; he shouldn't have let this brat have his way so soon.

As the deliveryman approached, Wang Xiyue's body tensed up suddenly, and her hands, which were holding the package, clenched involuntarily. It was exactly what she feared.

At Wang Xijie's command, the team set off.

Dongfang Yu turned his head to examine the girl beside him. Her dark hair was tied high on top of her head, and her long, beautiful hair swayed gently with the bumps of the carriage. She had a smooth forehead, pink earlobes, trembling eyelashes, a delicate nose, and her shoulders and back were taut with nervousness. She was biting her lip, and her ten fingers were slender and white, clasped together...

Under the young man's unabashed gaze, Wang Xiyue felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. How could this person be so shameless?

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she turned her head and glared at him with a cold face, while also warning him: "Close your eyes."

Dongfang Yu was overjoyed to see that Xiyue was finally willing to talk to him, and immediately assured her, "Okay, Xiyue."

After he finished speaking, he actually turned around, crossed his arms, leaned against the carriage, and closed his eyes to rest.

Dongfang Yu was really tired after not sleeping most of the night; no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he wasn't made of iron.

I took the carriage for two reasons: to get closer to Xiyue and to catch up on some sleep.

Along the way, with people from the Prince Xian's Mansion traveling with him, and the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion also likely to encounter unpredictable dangers, he needs to conserve his energy to protect Xiyue to the greatest extent possible.

Wang Xiyue was a little uncomfortable seeing such an obedient young man for the first time, and couldn't help but stare at his mask for a long time.

Unbeknownst to her, the person behind the mask was beaming with joy at her attention.

Finally, unable to figure it out, Wang Xiyue withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes to rest. She finally had time to think things through.

Seeing the two people opposite him close their eyes and fall asleep one after the other in such a tacit manner, Wang Xijie had something to say but couldn't bring himself to say it. In the end, he could only close his eyes and remain silent as well.

As the carriage swayed and rocked along, Dongfang Yu, feeling relaxed and comfortable, quickly fell into a deep sleep within just fifteen minutes.

Perhaps he subconsciously knew that he felt safe with someone he liked nearby, so he was completely unguarded, both physically and mentally.

He was already less than half an arm's length away from Wang Xiyue, so after he fell asleep, his head unconsciously drooped towards her, and his head was right next to the top of her head.

Wang Xiyue had slept very well last night, so she wasn't sleepy now. She had just been thinking with her eyes closed. When her brother leaned against her like that, she was startled and instead of pushing him away, she immediately looked at her brother opposite her.

Seeing that her brother was also asleep, she felt relieved and didn't move her body or head, which she had been trying to avoid.

Well, the young man is still an important subordinate of Dongfang Yu. Maybe he really has never been this tired before. Maybe he didn't rest well yesterday because the inn was in poor condition. Since the two of them have already hugged, leaning on each other for a bit doesn't seem like a big deal. That's how Wang Xiyue comforted herself.

Dongfang Yu woke up after sleeping for half an hour. Even a short period of good sleep can have amazing effects, and yesterday's fatigue was completely gone.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with Wang Xijie's fiery gaze.

Dongfang Yu narrowed her eyes. Why was this brother-in-law always so inexplicable? He was so young, yet he was always getting angry. Wasn't he afraid of aging quickly?

He only realized when he moved that his head was resting against Xiyue's head, and her head was resting on his shoulder.

Her breathing was steady and her whole body was relaxed; she seemed to have fallen asleep. Because of his earlier movements, Xiyue seemed a little uncomfortable and mumbled something. So he immediately stopped moving and continued in the same position so as not to wake her.

He now understood why Wang Xijie was so angry. He had watched helplessly as a man who wasn't even his brother-in-law snuggled so closely with his sister. If it weren't for the fact that his sister wasn't fully awake, his brother-in-law would probably have drawn his sword and stabbed her the next second.

Although Dongfang Yu was a little embarrassed to be so close to Xiyue in front of his brother-in-law, he had no choice but to lower his eyes and continue to ignore his presence.

Wang Xijie was both hurt and puzzled. Although in the past, when he and his sister went out in a carriage, his sister would sometimes rest on a pillow when she was tired, she had never been completely asleep like today.

My sister, who is usually wary and unapproachable, was able to sleep so soundly against Dongfang Yu on her first trip with him.

If he weren't outmatched by Dongfang Yu and didn't hesitate to stab his sister, who was always a light sleeper, he really wanted to stab a few holes in Dongfang Yu.

In truth, he had to admit that the sight of the two of them snuggling together was truly beautiful and a perfect match. Just looking at them, one could feel a warm sense of happiness emanating from them. Anyone who didn't know them would only think that the two of them were a loving young couple.

He was actually a little reluctant to break them up, so when he accidentally opened his eyes and saw this scene, he was more surprised than angry. Since there was nothing he could do, he could only glare at Dongfang Yu.

After sulking for a while, seeing that Dongfang Yu was still so shameless, Wang Xijie could only sigh silently and simply close his eyes to continue resting, out of sight, out of mind.

For his sister's sake, he gritted his teeth and compromised, deciding to deal with Dongfang Yu privately later. Besides, his sister was probably about to wake up, and she would definitely be embarrassed if she woke up and found out that her brother had seen this scene. So it was better for him to continue pretending to be asleep.

He didn't feel anything when he was asleep, but after waking up and continuing in that position, Dongfang Yu felt unbearably hot all over. Xi Yue's mouth and nose were right close to his neck, and her soft, gentle breath made his body suddenly heat up. It was warm and alluring, and he couldn't ignore it at all.

Just as Dongfang Yu was about to reach his limit, Xiyue finally woke up.

When Wang Xiyue woke up, her first reaction was to look at her brother. When she saw that he was still asleep, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she felt Dongfang Yu's head pressing down on hers. Fortunately, he hadn't woken up yet. She had to use both hands to support his head and slowly straighten it against the back of the carriage wall. Then she moved herself a little further into the corner. After doing all these things, Wang Xiyue had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly, so none of the three of them felt awkward when they woke up.

Wang Xiyue had thought she would feel awkward being leaned on by the young man, but perhaps because his body temperature was too warm, or perhaps because she was really too tired yesterday, she actually fell asleep on his shoulder, which was something she had never expected.

While she was still wondering why she was so dependent on Xiao Ge, Dongfang Yu woke up at the right time. He turned his head to look at Xi Yue and found that she was frowning and looked unhappy, so he asked with concern, "Xi Yue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Xiyue turned to look at the young man who had just woken up. Feeling guilty, she quickly shook her head. Luckily, she had woken up a little early, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to explain herself.

Upon hearing Dongfang Yu's voice, Wang Xijie naturally pretended to have just woken up as well, and he also noticed that his sister's expression was a little unnatural.

He wasn't really asleep, so he naturally knew what had happened. He guessed that his sister herself probably didn't expect to be so close to a stranger.

To prevent his sister from continuing to feel helpless and anxious, he had no choice but to change the subject.

"Yueyue, have you rested enough? Are you hungry? How about we get out of the car and rest for a while?"

Wang Xiyue nodded. She needed to get some fresh air outside. She felt like she couldn't breathe as long as the young man was in the carriage.

Wang Xijie immediately stopped the carriage. He estimated that the carriage had been traveling for about an hour, and both the people and the horses needed to stop and rest.
