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

Chu Yan covered his face and turned away. When he turned back, Cao Yuan was already lying on the ground unconscious.

When Cao Yuan woke up the next day, she didn't remember how she got back to the camp.

I just felt a terrible headache.

I hope it won't be the same as last time!

After Cao Yuan finished washing up, she went to Chu Yan's tent, just as Bai Lu came out from inside.

The two bumped into each other.

"Princess!" Bai Lu's flustered appearance made Cao Yuan look at her strangely.

"What are you two doing in there? Why do you look like that?" Cao Yuan asked curiously.

"No. We have nothing. I'm leaving now!" Bai Lu hurriedly left.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Cao Yuan entered Chu Yan's tent, "Brother Xiao!"

Chu Yan was packing his bags.

"Brother Xiao, are you leaving too?"

"Yes! Bailu has been traveling with me all the way! We'll take our leave here!"

Cao Yuan walked to the table and looked at the steaming jade ball on it.

"How come there's a jade ball here?"

These jade dumplings are only available on the border; the imperial chefs in the palace never make them, and she didn't get to eat any last night.

"Bai Lu brought it just now! She gave it to me especially!" Chu Yan noticed that Cao Yuan seemed to like it.

"If the princess is hungry, then eat this bowl first! I don't like sweets."

I only drank alcohol last night and didn't eat much food, so I'm quite hungry.

Would eating other people's food make me seem greedy?

"Then I won't be polite!"

Cao Yuan ate heartily; it tasted just like before.

"By the way, Brother Xiao, did you bring me back yesterday?" Cao Yuan asked, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.

Her gaze fell on Chu Yan, her eyes filled with a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

Chu Yan paused, then turned around. "Hmm!"

"Then I didn't say anything nonsense! And I didn't do anything to you, did I?" Cao Yuan blinked at him, waiting for his answer.

Chu Yan shook his head, "No!"

"I didn't take your clothes off, did I?"

Chu Yan did not reply.

"I wouldn't really do anything to you, would I?"

Chu Yan shook his head violently, "The princess was so drunk yesterday that she fell into a deep sleep."

"That's good!"

This puts her at ease.

After eating, Cao Yuan's troops were to return to the capital to report back.

"Yuan'er, you must take good care of yourself! The capital is not like here. People there are very cunning, so you must be careful."

"Grandfather, don't worry, I'm not the same as before. Please take care of yourself! I'll come back to be with you after I've finished dealing with things in the capital, so please wait for me!"

Cao Yuan mounted Ma Chong and waved to Shi Wennuo.

"Okay, okay!" Shi Wenno thought it was just a farewell joke and didn't think much of it.

"Princess, princess!"

General Liu rushed over, holding a neatly folded piece of clothing in his hands.

"What's the matter?"

"I've made a dress for the princess. Would the princess like to take it home and try it on?"

General Liu said happily.

Cao Yuan knew from the color of the clothes that they weren't meant for her.

"General Liu, when did you leave the military camp to make clothes?" Shi Wennuo asked, puzzled.

"Forehead……"

“Yes, why is this color still blue? Doesn’t General Liu know that I never like blue?” Cao Yuan teased him deliberately.

"Um... doesn't the princess like it? I thought she would!"

"What a pity! But it's alright, if the princess doesn't like it, someone else can wear it!"

"Oh, okay then! I'll give it to Bailu!"

Cao Yuan deliberately said, "White Dew..."

"No way! Bai Lu isn't in good shape, she can't wear it!"

Cao Yuan and Shi Wennuo both laughed.

Bai Lu pointed to herself, looking at them in disbelief. No one had ever said she had a bad figure!

"General Liu, I understand. I will convey your sentiments to Jinzhu!"

"Thank you so much, Princess!"

After delivering the clothes, Liu quickly ran into the military camp.

"This General Liu is embarrassed, hahaha!" Shi Wennuo laughed.

Chu Yan led Bai Lu all the way.

To prevent her from leaving with him, Chu Yan tied a rope around her.

"Your Highness, this is not fair."

"If you speak again, I'll rip your tongue out."

That's so ungentlemanly! Yesterday, when he carried the princess back to his tent, he was so gentle!

Bai Lu pouted. Anyway, she was going to die soon, so let's see how long she can be so arrogant.

"You really aren't coming with me?" Cao Yuan asked.

“Princess, I’ve been with you all the way. Quickly, make him untie this tattered rope.” Bai Lu winked at her.

"No need, Princess. We have other matters to attend to, so we won't travel with you," Chu Yan said.

"In that case, I won't force you. We'll be going now."

"Farewell! Until we meet again!" Chu Yan bowed.

"See you again if fate allows!"

The two rode their spirited horses at breakneck speed until they reached a small, dilapidated temple to rest.

Chu Yan gave her some dry food.

Bai Lu slapped the rope away, saying, "I'm not eating! I'm starving! Untie me! Do you think I'm an animal?!"

"I can't beat you, so why are you tying me up!"

"To prevent you from running away halfway, so that I can go back and report."

"Innocent!"

Chu Yan glanced at her sideways.

"You don't actually think Xiao Hanjing will go back to Shu with you, do you?"

Chu Yan said firmly, "He said he'd come with me when you get back. He never lies to me."

"Why do you trust Xiao Hanjing so much, even though you are half-brothers?"

"Although we don't share the same mother, we grew up together. His mother was a maidservant of my mother. We were closer to each other than the other princes from a young age."

"so good?"

Even Bai Lu was somewhat skeptical.

How can things be so harmonious after stealing a husband?

"How did you know Xiao Hanjing faked his death? I remember he had the Crown Prince spread the news of his death. Did you really come looking for him specifically because he didn't want to be the Crown Prince? Don't other people fight to be the Crown Prince?"

"Why are you talking so much today? We're not that close yet!"

"Are you really going to try out my hidden weapon?"

"That's strange, how come you're completely unharmed?"

Bai Lu confessed frankly.

"What do you mean?" Chu Yan asked, puzzled.

"Was the bowl of jade dumplings I gave you delicious?"

Chu Yan's body stiffened, a chill ran down his spine, and he grabbed her collar, saying, "What do you mean? What did you put in there?"

"You scared me! Yes, Xiao Hanjing asked me to poison you. He said he doesn't want you to come back!"

Chu Yan's forehead veins bulged as he flung Bai Lu against the doorframe. Bai Lu felt a sharp pain in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"cough......"

"If the princess has any problems, she should go down to the underworld and apologize to the crown prince," Chu Yan said coldly.

Chu Yan left her side, and Bai Lu hugged his leg, "What did the Crown Prince just say? Princess, what's wrong with the Princess?"

Chu Yan kicked her away. Bai Lu felt as if her internal organs had been shattered by the kick, and she fainted from the pain!
