After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

Chu Yan led two horses out of the stable.

Xuanfeng jogged over, carrying the documents.

"Young master, I've finished."

"Let's go!"

"I have something else to say!" Chu Yan suddenly turned to look at the person beside him, his eyes filled with seriousness and earnestness.

"Young master, I just went to the Shu Kingdom's post station to make arrangements! But I found out that our post station has been seized!"

Xuanfeng said hurriedly, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety.

"Have you found out who did it?" Chu Yan frowned, his tone becoming tense.

"Our people say it's a group of secret guards!"

Chu Yan frowned. The Shu Kingdom's post station was such a hidden station, and it had always been peaceful in Wei Kingdom. How could it be seized at this time!

How did Cao Ji discover it?

Could it be that someone else is helping him?

He couldn't think of anyone else besides Xiao Hanjing!

What is he planning to do now?

"Young master, do we have to leave in such a hurry? It seems like a lot of things are coming at us at once! Are we just going to leave like this?"

"Shouldn't we find out the truth before we leave?"

Xuanfeng was puzzled. He had been told to leave before but hadn't, so why was he in such a hurry to leave this time?

"If we are still in the capital tomorrow, Cao Ji will definitely impeach Father, and then we will be in a passive position."

"Alright, let's leave the capital and hide for a while, then come back when things calm down!"

"Ok!"

Chu Yan and Xuan Feng quickly reached the city gate, where there were more and more people.

Chu Yan happened to walk behind the two women who were queuing to leave the city, and they were talking quietly.

"Wow, I just saw Minister Xue! He's so handsome!"

"Really? Where did you see it?"

"At the entrance of the Ministry of War, is the woman he's holding in his arms Princess Huayang, the one who once made the Fourth Prince parade through the streets?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Princess Huayang is now His Highness Prince Shuo!"

"Oh right! They're such a perfect match!"

Xuanfeng glanced at Chu Yan out of the corner of his eye without making a sound.

Seeing that Chu Yan remained silent, Xuan Feng explained on Cao Yuan's behalf, "Well... actually, it's nothing for them to hug and cuddle as a married couple!"

Chu Yan glared at him, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Xuanfeng didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, they were going back to Shu, and he and Cao Yuan should no longer have any involvement.

The gate tower ahead is checking exit permits.

"Young master, it's almost our turn!" Xuanfeng looked up at the soldiers checking them, and they passed through the checks one by one.

"Why are you investigating so thoroughly!"

-

Cao Yuan lay on the bed, her eyes, which had been tightly closed, twitched slightly and slowly opened.

She looked around somewhat bewildered. It was a completely unfamiliar room, simply yet elegantly furnished, exuding a faint scent of sandalwood.

Cao Yuan tried to recall what had happened. She remembered having dinner with Xue Xinian just now, and then...

Cao Yuan tried to get up, but found that her body was unusually heavy, her limbs were weak, and she could not move at all.

She felt a wave of panic, but when she checked her clothes, she found they were still intact, but her current state made it impossible for her to relax.

Xue Xinian actually drugged her; she had fallen for his wicked scheme again.

No, she has to get out of here right away.

Cao Yuan used all her strength to finally flip over and fall directly to the ground.

She slowly moved towards the door.

Just one last step was needed. The door was pushed open, and as they looked up at the person in front of them, their last hope was extinguished.

"you.…"

Xue Xinian looked down at me with a smile on his face, his expression sinister and terrifying!

"Ah Yuan, how come you woke up so quickly!"

Xue Xinian closed the door, squatted down, and gently lifted her onto the bed.

"What...what do you want to do?" Cao Yuan was terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Xue Xinian gently stroked her cheek, then slowly slid down her face, as if admiring a precious treasure.

Cao Yuan was filled with fear and helplessness, but she was powerless to resist.

"Don't touch me, Xue Xinian."

Cao Yuan closed her eyes tightly, her face full of pain.

"Ah Yuan, do you know? The dose of medicine I gave you was enough for two adult women. Even so, you still managed to wake up. Indeed, women who know martial arts have different physical abilities!"

Xue Xinian's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in his eyes.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have ordered two more packs!"

His voice was deep and tinged with a hint of mockery, sending chills down one's spine.

"What do you want to do?"

"Ah Yuan, we've been married for a while now! Shouldn't we take things a step further?"

Xue Xinian got up and walked to the tea table, seemingly taking out another medicine packet and putting it in the tea.

Cao Yuan panicked. What should she do?

Jinzhu is at home, Chu Yan is gone, and there's no one to help her anymore.

We can only stall for time for now.

"Xue Xinian, you already have a younger sister. Aren't you truly in love? It wouldn't be good if your younger sister found out what you're doing!"

Don't mention her to me!

Xue Xinian said angrily, squatting down next to Cao Yuan, "If she hadn't lied to me and to His Majesty, why would I have married her!"

"Do you know how much my heart ached when I learned you had died in Chen? But thankfully you survived!"

"You...you also feel heartache because of me?"

"Of course! Ah Yuan, you're the only one I love!" Xue Xinian held Cao Yuan's hand.

Cao Yuan shook her head. "You love my status, my status as a princess who possesses the Tiger Tally. If I didn't have the Tiger Tally or military merits, would you still love me?"

"You're talking nonsense! That's not true at all. I, Xue Xinian, only love you. I've liked you ever since you started following me around every day! Although I met Shang'er first, she always stayed close to me. She said she would marry you because you could help my career, and that's what I thought too!"

"It wasn't until you were with Chu Yan that I realized I only loved you! I was jealous, so jealous I was going crazy. I was jealous that he could have you, jealous that he could be in your room, and even more jealous that you could smile at him!"

Xue Xinian became more and more agitated as she spoke, grabbing Cao Yuan's shoulders and saying, "Why! Why don't you despise him even though he's clearly disabled!"

Why!"

"Is it because his leg has healed?"

Cao Yuan was startled by him, her body trembling slightly. His gaze was like a sharp blade, causing a sharp pain in Cao Yuan's heart.

His cold face and fierce eyes seemed to take her back to her past life, when he had mercilessly forced her to drink poison.

Xue Xinian seemed to realize that his emotions were getting out of control, so he quickly composed himself and tried to hide the turmoil in his heart.

He picked up the teacup on the table and put his arm around Cao Yuan.

"Ah Yuan, drink it!"

"What is this? Can I not drink it?"

Xue Xinian smiled and said, "Let's drink it! If we drink it, we can have a wedding night together!"
