  Huang Pu Jinghao's slender body was also somewhat disheveled, and she actually said such words in front of everyone, it was truly unexpected and speechless!

  Xiao Bing left and Chen Xi naturally wouldn't let herself stay in the damaged carriage, exposed to the wind and sun all day. Before long, she had someone switch carriages for her.

  "Your Highness, why must you provoke him?"

  "Morning and evening, spreading hands outside innocent: 'Do I? You didn't hear me speaking well of him just now when Jing Ze asked questions, did you?!'"

  He gave up, not wanting to argue anymore. Beitang Junlian personally poured a full cup of tea, thinking of quenching his thirst, but unexpectedly the cup he had just filled was taken away by a slender jade hand.

  She raised her eyes and saw a certain woman drinking a cup of water with great satisfaction, and finally deliberately licked her red lips: "Ah, you're the one who understands how to be considerate! Junlian, is this how you won Water Smoke's heart?"

  Beidong Jun raised an eyebrow at her, Water Smoke was just a woman of humble origins, did he need to lower himself to please her?

  No, he just poured water and it's not like he was being considerate of her, she took it herself without asking!

  "Junlian, why did you say that water smoke wants to follow me as a servant?"

  Bei Tang Jun Lian felt annoyed at this and said in a bad mood: "How would I know, maybe she likes following you!"

  "Ha ha, how is that possible? I'm guessing she's trying to retreat in order to advance, yeah, following me will give her the chance to meet you!"

  "This..." Beitang Junlian was not a fool, nor was he an ignorant young man, and naturally understood some of the struggles between women. The backyard of the Beitang family had seen its fair share since childhood.

  Perhaps she just wants to see you purely and has no other thoughts, as long as she sees you, she is satisfied.

  Beidong Junlian looked at her with a puzzled expression in her eyes, he didn't think that Chiyang Princess would be so simple-minded as to believe the rumors about him, and that she was just trying to probe him by saying this. "Princess, rest assured, before the time is right, I won't harm your reputation no matter who it is, this is my promise to our Emperor."

  "Uh, I believe you, Xia - your country's leader is quite good, and I believe he also believes in you." Chen Xi knew the weight of things and wouldn't reveal her relationship with Xia Shangyu until the end. If people found out, as Xia Shangyu said, it would make many people in Ya Country even more jealous.

  Beidong Junlian looked at her and suddenly lowered his voice to advise: "Princess, although the emperor is good to you, there are some things I must remind you of."

  "Oh, just say it directly."

  "You are the Red Sun Princess of Yanyu Country. If you were an ordinary princess, marrying the Emperor would not be a big deal, it could be considered as a good relationship between the two countries. But you're different. You have 100,000 elite soldiers under your name, and no one is not envious. The Female Emperor will not let you marry someone from another country. Just like I can only become one of the princess's husbands, but it's impossible for me to marry you into the North Tang family."

  "Hmm, that makes sense. And then? I gazed at him with eager eyes, indicating my willingness to listen to the rest."

  Beidou Junlian stroked her forehead, couldn't she understand what he was saying? He sighed inwardly: "Princess, my intention is that the Empress would never allow you to be with our Emperor of Xia."

  Ah!

  "Morning and evening covering mouth and laughing, 'You - you're worried that I like Xia Shangyu? Haha... interesting, interesting..."

  "Princess, I'm serious!"

  "In the morning and evening, I've had enough laughter. Now, let's get serious. Looking at him, who was also being serious, she said: 'Northern Tang young master, Northern Tang family is a noble family, you can rest assured that this princess has no romantic feelings towards Xia Shangyu. My relationship with him is very pure, as you know, we are just business partners!'"

  "Okay—"

  "That's it, you can rest assured about this matter, I and he really have nothing, nor is it possible for us to have anything."

  Beidong Junlian looked at her and was entangled in his heart again. Was it just that the emperor had taken a liking to her, but she didn't have any thoughts about the emperor? Forget it, forget it, since she was so confident, what business did he have meddling in this affair?!

  ……

  All the way, Chen Xi spent her days chatting with different young masters, joking and listening to the beautiful music of the water smoke girl. That night, they stayed at an inn on the road, and the next morning, they continued their journey, rushing for two days before finally arriving in Fengcheng.

  As soon as she entered Fengcheng in the morning and evening, she felt a strange aura surrounding her, staring at her. Her intuition had always been accurate.

  "Princess, what's wrong?" Shui Yan asked with some trepidation as he saw her suddenly lower her head.

  In the morning, he walked down from his horse carriage and required to walk to General Wei Chi's mansion. Huangfu Jinghao and Beidang Junlian were ordered to go ahead and inform General Wei Chi.

  Chen Xi walked on the main street, with Zhuge Jingze, Ji Jingyuan, Lin Junchen and Xu Feishuang following behind him. Xiao Bing had been driven away by Chen Xi halfway through the journey and hadn't shown up for a day and a night.

  Zhuge Jingze followed Chenxi and asked inexplicably, "Princess, why do you want to walk? We just entered the city gate of Fengcheng not long ago. Walking will probably take another half an hour to reach General Wei's mansion!"

  "It's nothing, just think it's interesting."

  What's wrong with walking?

  Zhuge Jingze's face suddenly sank, and he silently glanced at the three people behind him: there is enemy information.

  Ji Jingyuan and Lin Junchen's martial arts skills were also excellent, and upon receiving Zhuge Jingze's gaze, they too discovered that someone was staring at them, but didn't know if it was for the sake of Princess Chiyang or just a petty villain.

  Four people, one on the left, one on the right, one in front and one behind, escorted her forward. Morning and evening looked at their appearance and knew they had discovered something wrong. The corners of their mouths slightly raised, it seemed that these four people could still be trusted a bit, at least they wouldn't want her life.

  Xiao Bing was different, the time she crossed over, he had clearly intended to drown her in water, if not for him drowning his own body, it wouldn't have been her turn to possess it.

  "Princess, let's hurry up and meet General Huo and Prince Huangfu!" Lin Junchen suggested.

  Xu Feishuang also nodded in agreement. Their martial arts skills were not weak, but they feared that if something unexpected happened, they would be unable to afford the consequences!

  Knock knock knock——

  The street ahead was surrounded by a crowd of people with the sound of gongs and drums, Chen Xi looked up and exclaimed: "It's a circus!"

  "Princess—"

  "Go, take a look, I've never seen it before!" Chen Xi excitedly ran forward, with Zhuge Jingze and the others closely following behind her.

  Lin Junchen reached out and took her hand, speaking in a low voice: "Princess, you can watch this street performance anytime by inviting the performers into the mansion. Let's not go to this unfamiliar place in Feng City."

  "It's no good just watching at home, you have to go out onto the streets to get a real flavor of it, and watch together with the common people."

  Chenxi said that instead of pulling Lin Junchen to run even faster, Zhuge Jingze helplessly exchanged a glance with Ji Jingyuan, and then followed up.

  Xu Feishuang furrowed his brow as he approached the Zajutuan, unaware of why he had caught a whiff of strange air. For a moment, he couldn't quite put his finger on what the smell was, only that it made him feel uncomfortable.

  Princess Chuyu and Jun Chen were watching a play together, having a great time, and didn't want to leave at all.

  The three of them inconspicuously protected her in the center, yet still felt a sense of unease that couldn't be put into words.

  Watching the acrobatic troupe's performance, I saw someone balancing on a bamboo pole upside down, while another person was holding up the pole from below. They were so engrossed in their act that it seemed like they either had martial arts skills or were seasoned veterans who had practiced for a long time.

  She's too arrogant, she can't even stand on a single bamboo pole, how tall is that!

  Lin Junchen felt a surge of heat emanating from his palm, causing him to break out in sweat. This was the first time he had ever appeared so intimately with a woman in public. The small hand in his was soft and boneless, and the strange sensation transmitted through his palm directly to his heart.

  At this time, he had already ignored the eerie atmosphere and the messy theater in front of him, and was only numbly feeling the temperature transmitted from his palm.

  Just when it was getting interesting, someone suddenly shouted "Murder!"

  The onlookers retreated in shock, and Chen Xi still held Lin Junchen's hand without letting go. When they came to their senses, only the five of them were left standing there, motionless.

  I looked around in the morning and evening, but I didn't see any murder scenes, what's going on?

  Suddenly, a few bursts of flame erupted, and a ring of fire sprang up, encircling Chenxiu and the other four.

  Zhuge Jingze's face sank, and indeed he came!

  "Jun Chen, take good care of the princess."

  ……

  Everyone, I'm going home a bit late today, so the update is delayed, sorry about that.
