The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

From the moment Dongfang Yu left, Wang Xiyue was filled with anxiety and restlessness.

Throughout the entire day, Wang Xiyue's heart remained in suspense, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to relax.

"Miss Xiyue! I have something to report."

When Wang Xiyue saw Xiao Yun, she assumed it was something urgent and hurriedly invited him in, asking impatiently, "Is there any news from Xiao Ge's side?"

Xiao Yun looked grave. He bowed slightly and said in an extremely serious tone, "Yes, Miss. This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to report to you privately."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Young Master Wang Xijie, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

This sudden glance surprised Wang Xijie greatly. He wondered to himself what kind of matter concerning Dongfang Yu could be so taboo that even his brother-in-law couldn't hear about it.

Could there be some hidden secret here? Thinking of this, Wang Xijie's brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, Wang Xiyue's heart was in her throat, fearing that something bad might happen to the young man.

So, she turned around anxiously and pleaded with Wang Xijie, "Brother, please go out for a moment, okay?"

Wang Xijie's lips curled down slightly, feigning a pitiful and wronged look, and then said sarcastically, "Fine, fine, since I'm an unrelated outsider, I'll obediently leave now, so as not to get in the way and interfere with your family's serious business."

Wang Xiyue looked at Mingzhe and instructed, "Mingzhe, take Zhuzhu for a stroll in the garden outside, and get her some good food while you're at it."

"Yes, Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of Zhuzhu."

Mingzhe knew perfectly well that what Brother Xiao was about to say was highly confidential and definitely not something someone of his status could know.

So, he very tactfully coaxed and tricked Zhuzhu into walking out the door with him.

After everyone had left the room, Xiao Yun cautiously walked to the door, pressed her ear against it, and listened carefully for a while. Once she was sure there was no noise outside, she slowly turned around and closed the door tightly.

Wang Xiyue, who had been sitting in the chair the whole time, kept a close eye on Xiao Yun's every move. Seeing how cautious he was, her unease grew stronger.

She suddenly stood up, strode over to Xiao Yun, and urgently asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

After confirming several times that no one was eavesdropping, Xiao Yun suddenly knelt down with a thud, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud. Then, in an unusually heavy tone, he called out, "Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, I humbly beg you to persuade the Prince to return to the country as soon as possible!"

"His Highness has been away from the Prince Xian's residence for more than half a year. If he continues to linger here, it may ruin his life!"

"If Your Highness doesn't return to the manor to take charge soon, everything he has carefully planned and prepared could very well be reduced to nothing in an instant!"

At this point, Xiao Yun's eyes welled up with tears, and her face was filled with worry.

"Both Mo Yun and An Ying received urgent secret letters from the four chief officials of the manor. The Dongyang Kingdom's court has been in turmoil recently, with several major events occurring one after another. And these four chief officials alone will probably find it difficult to hold out for long."

"If the other princes find conclusive evidence and use it to report to the Emperor that the Prince is not currently in the country, then the entire Prince Xian's Mansion will surely face annihilation!"

However, what shocked Wang Xiyue most was not this astonishing news, but rather Xiao Yun's address to her—Princess.

She looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why do you call me Princess Consort? I am not yet married to your prince!"

Xiao Yun blushed slightly and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Could it be that His Highness did not bestow upon you a 'Night Jade Seal' carved from white jade in the shape of an eagle?"

Wang Xiyue nodded in response, "He did indeed give it to me six years ago, but what's so special about this seal?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and then explained slowly, "This jade seal is of extraordinary significance! It is a symbol of all the power that the Prince controls. Whoever holds this seal can command everyone in the Dark Night Pavilion and the Prince Xian's Mansion. Moreover, this jade seal is the only token representing the Princess's identity."

After a brief pause, Xiao Yun continued, "His Highness has deep affection for you, so he established this rule early on. Even after six years, when His Highness reunited with you, he did not take back the jade seal, but instead gave it to you again. Because of this, we subordinates have long accepted in our hearts that you are the rightful Princess Consort."

"For the past six years, Your Highness has been concerned about your safety every day and has been urging us to find you. It is our dereliction of duty that we have been unable to find you."

"But the Prince's feelings for you are a fact that everyone in the Prince's Mansion can see. In order to be able to protect you, he practiced martial arts every day without regard for his own safety. For you, he often locked himself in a small iron house to drown his sorrows in alcohol. He also always blamed himself for not protecting you well, which caused you to leave home to seek medical treatment."

"Moreover, you possess this special jade seal, which undoubtedly indicates that you are the future mistress of the Prince Xian's mansion, and also the Prince's only beloved wife in this life."

At first, Wang Xiyue thought that Dongfang Yu's letter to her was just a thank you for saving her life and some ordinary polite words. She never expected that he had already sincerely put her in his heart so early on.

"Ever since I learned that you, young man 'Dark Night,' are your prince, I have realized the seriousness of the matter. How can a prince of a nation, with such a noble status, be allowed to appear in another country at will?"

“Originally, I did want to persuade him to go back as soon as possible, but participating in the martial arts tournament has always been a grand event that my brother has dreamed of participating in. As his sister, I naturally want to help him achieve his wish, so I had no choice but to accompany my brother here first. Who would have thought that we would encounter the God Worshiping Cult stirring up trouble on the way?”

"Don't worry! Once your prince returns, we can set off to return to the prime minister's residence."

"After I explain the whole story to my parents, I will go back to the Prince Xian's residence with him."

Xiao Yun was so moved he almost cried. He had only hoped that the princess could persuade the prince to return to the manor to take charge of the overall situation, and then ask for the princess's hand in marriage once the situation was stable. This was the best plan, but it would take a long time and the prince and princess would have to endure the pain of separation.

This task is very difficult; even he felt that the princess might not be able to persuade the prince.

However, now that the princess is also going with the prince, the prince will definitely be very happy. As long as the princess is by his side, the prince will have no worries about doing things.

"Thank you, Princess!"

"Thank you!"

"Long live the Princess!"

"On behalf of everyone, I thank the Princess for her immense kindness!"

"Thank you for saving my life!"

……

Wang Xiyue gently helped Xiao Yun up, saying, "Alright, if you keep kowtowing, your head will get bleeding. If your prince sees you like this, he'll think our Prime Minister's Mansion is deliberately bullying you. Wipe your snot!"

She solemnly promised, "I don't know what the future holds for him and me, but as long as he stays with me, I will never abandon him, and I will share everything with him."

“He really should go back to his own business now; he can’t always be revolving around me.”

She suddenly felt like laughing. He was always so childish, stubborn, and domineering towards her; at the same time, she felt sorry for him because he always silently bore everything alone.

Perhaps he had finally understood his own heart, or perhaps he had finally understood Dongfang Yu's true feelings.

Every breath and every moment of that day was torture for Wang Xiyue. The various terrible scenes and speculations that her brother encountered kept flashing through her mind, almost driving her to the brink of collapse.

She now understood that this was what it meant to be deeply missed, this was love!

Just when she felt she could no longer bear the torment and wanted to go find him, that familiar and reassuring figure finally appeared in her sight.

He walked slowly towards her unharmed and unharmed. In that instant, all the fear and worry in Wang Xiyue's heart receded like the tide, replaced by endless joy and excitement.

Before she could even think, her body instinctively rushed towards him, as swift as an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Dongfang Yu. Without hesitation, she reached out and hugged his waist tightly, burying her head in his chest, trying to absorb the warmth from his body.

At this moment, all she wanted was to feel his presence and confirm that he was truly safe and sound.

"You're back!" Wang Xiyue's voice trembled slightly, containing indescribable emotions: the joy of regaining what was lost, excitement, heartache, and happiness.

Dongfang Yu was somewhat flattered by the sudden hug, but he quickly recovered and hugged the person in his arms back tightly.

“You are here, so I will definitely come back,” he said softly, his tone firm as if making a lifelong promise.

Wang Xijie, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He watched as Dongfang Yu openly embraced his sister, and a nameless fire suddenly welled up in his heart.

I really wanted to rush forward immediately, kick this arrogant guy far away, and then pull my sister back behind me and hide her properly.

However, he remembered that Dongfang Yu had indeed made a great contribution today, so Wang Xijie had to grit his teeth and forcibly suppress his inner impulse.

Hmph, let's let this guy off the hook for now, we can deal with him later!

Wang Xijie had originally planned to say a few more sarcastic remarks to vent his anger. However, just as he was about to speak, he subconsciously turned his head to look around, only to find the place empty.

He then realized that the people who had been watching just moments before, except for himself, had all vanished without a trace, as if they had slipped through his fingers.

On the other side, Mo Yun effortlessly grabbed Mingzhe and Zhuzhu by the hands of each of them, then forcibly pulled them into the room like chicks, and slammed the door shut.

The others, however, acted with great tact.

Some people acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and running back to their rooms as if nothing had occurred.

Some quickly left the yard and began patrolling.

Several others simply turned their backs to the couple embracing in the courtyard, wishing they could hide in a corner and busy themselves with useless tasks: picking up stones, pulling weeds, sharpening swords with the air, and wiping knives with their sleeves.

Seeing this, Wang Xijie felt a surge of anger, but there was nothing he could do. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Then, he rolled his eyes at Dongfang Yu several times, muttering curses under his breath, and turned to go back to his room.

He couldn't bear to watch this scene any longer. Out of sight, out of mind, he sighed to the heavens once more, "Alas, daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up!"

Wang Xiyue finally came to her senses. She suddenly realized that there were so many people around her, and immediately felt that her behavior just now was really too inappropriate. So, blushing, she prepared to leave the embrace she had been longing for.

Seeing the delicate body in his arms about to turn and leave, Dongfang Yu did not hesitate at all. His left hand swiftly reached out like lightning and tightly embraced Xiyue's slender and soft waist.

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, he vanished like a ghost in the blink of an eye, and the two of them were already inside his room.
