The little maid that was always by her side had already made all the preparations necessary to replace her and marry in her stead. The two of them cried in each other’s arms, and then swore to the other that they would never give in to their fate.

Wenren Yingyue felt that royal life was not suitable for her. An assassin like her should be wandering through the martial arts world, and as long as she cultivated for several years and brought her own skills back to the level they had been in her previous life, she would surely be able to kill her way back and make the person called Wenren Hong feel regret.

Xue Ling didn’t think so much about it. When the delegation arrived at the Capital, there were many things that Zhan Shaoxi had to be involved in, and he was left to stay in the Manor all day, idling. He read some books that the system saved over from the previous world in order to prepare himself for the worlds he would experience in the future.

When Zhan Shaoxi came back, he was lying lazily in the courtyard reading a book.

Probably because they had already spoken about it, all the people who were in the courtyard had been driven out. When he was alone in the courtyard and his rooms, he wore men’s clothing, and while he was just idly passing the time by reading, the soft sunlight created a circle of light around his head, making him impossibly attractive, just like a living angel. The more the General looked, the more he felt that his wife was like a god descended from heaven. In any case, Zhan Shaoxi’s heart was full, and he moved forward to pick up the man and swing him in a circle.

Xue Ling was surprised, turning to toss the book back onto the reclining chair before wrapping his arms around Zhan Shaoxi’s neck and opening his mouth wide to bite down.

Zhan Shaoxi was amused, stopping his movements in order to bite him back and saying, “Why are you acting like a small dog all day long and biting people now?”

“I am a fox, not a dog.” Xue Ling harrumphed, motioned for Zhan Shaoxi to put himself down, patted his clothes, and asked, “How is it? Is everything going well?”

“The celebrations over these past few days have all passed without any waves or excitement, and tomorrow they will begin the journey back. I don’t think anyone will do anything at this critical moment under the eyes of both the Emperor and the delegation.”

“Hm.” It was true that the Capital had been too quiet these days. “What about proving the Prince’s guilt? Are you all set?”

“That’s almost done as well. His Highness the Prince’s ambitions have been large over the years. Other than operating businesses, he has also done many things that would make the Emperor pick apart his skin and bones with just a glance.” Zhan Shaoxi had a smile on his face when he spoke of this matter, and it was unknown whether it was irony or some other meaning. “He has involved himself in the iron, and salt industries, and he even dared to move gunpowder. He has been stupidly doing these things over the past years, but I strangely didn’t notice any of it.”

“That’s true. Weren’t you practically blind before?” Xue Ling picked up the book and spoke lazily, “So what if you didn’t notice the Prince? You didn’t even see me.”

As soon as he mentioned it, Zhan Shaoxi could only laugh along. Fortunately, his wife did not have time to bring up the past all day long, so the conversation went on after he coaxed her a bit. “The Prince used to be good at avoiding detection because he knew he could slowly make his move, and was therefore not arrogant or impatient, and hid it well. But now that I have wrecked his plans, he naturally started to feel uneasy.”

“Haven’t you noticed that Brother Emperor has not smiled at him at all in recent days?” Xue Ling sneered. “Although he is the Crown Prince, at the end of the day he is still a subordinate and so long as the Emperor is in good health, he does not need his help dealing with political affairs. After he is no longer in the Emperor’s favour, what is the use of his position in the Eastern Palace?”

“It would not be easy to recover. Everyone in court knows that once you make a mistake, it will be impossible to get rid of its shadow.” He propped up his head and leisurely continued, “Just like me. If Brother Emperor learns what’s wrong with me someday, not just me, but you as the husband who helped me hide it, will also follow me into hell.”

Zhan Shaoxi’s eyes fell on him with some pity, but there was more amusement in his gaze. “When the door is closed, who can learn anything about the Madame? When you’ve spent enough time in the Capital, I’ll quit my official post and go sightseeing with my Lady Wife for the rest of our life. At that time, the Emperor would probably have no time left to care about what happened to you.”

“Give up the centuries-old foundation of the General’s Manor and go with me to travel through the rivers and lakes?”

“I’ve always loved beauty, and not the rivers and mountains. Doesn’t Madame understand this best?”

“Well yes, I understand.” He reached out and pushed away the man who encircled him. “Speak properly and stop coming so close for no reason. When I said you would not be able to join me in bed, I definitely meant that there was no way for you to do so before I turn eighteen. Don’t think that speaking some sweet words would make me soft-hearted and change my mind.”

“Madam, it’s been difficult for your Husband to hold back.” Zhan Shaoxi had a bitter look on his face as he pretended to be pitiful.

“Well, you need to endure even if it’s difficult.” He still wanted two years of closeness. Some things could not be compromised on! At least until these affairs were over, he would not allow the man into his bed.

Otherwise, there would be no need to go on as he would never be able to find time to take care of the heroine.

The Emperor felt guilty towards the Gongqin Palace, and the level of Wenren Yingyue’s dowry was only slightly lower than Xue Ling’s when he had been married to the General. A large wedding delegation was sent to accompany the ambassadors as they set out.

There was nothing wrong with the delegation except that the bride had not shown herself much ever since she got into the carriage. The ambassador who had come all the way in order to request a marriage alliance had seen Wenren Yingyue and was very satisfied with her appearance, so he was not worried that Xi Country would make any unexpected moves. They were the recipients of Xi Country’s goodwill this time, and their attitude towards them also reflected that.

Naturally, he also had not expected any accidents to occur on the way back.

For example, one night, a fire broke out in the inn where the Princess and her maid servants were staying. They had worked hard throughout the night to save and rescue people but only a few corpses were found and the Mingyue Princess, the bride, was nowhere to be found.

It was an accident, and the faces of the people who had died were completely unrecognizable. They could not tell which one was the Princess, and could not bear the charge of having killed her. After thinking about it, the ambassador set his eyes on the good-looking maid who normally followed the Mingyue Princess. She had escaped the fire that night because she had gotten up early to prepare the Princess’ food for the next day.

This maid knew the Mingyue Princess extremely well, and would have no problems pretending to be the Princess at all. In addition, very few members of the delegation had seen the Princess before, and there was no danger of being discovered.

They still had a long way to go, and unless something unexpected happened, the Princess would never step into her homeland again, ruling out any possibility that they would be found out. So, choosing the maid was their best choice.
