Li Xiaochen squeezed Lin Yuxin's hand, gave her a reassuring look, then looked at the three people below, his gaze sharp, and spoke seriously:
"The six of you have been with me for many years. You know my temperament. Now that I have married the Queen, she will naturally be your mistress. She also represents me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness! Your subordinate swears to serve Your Highness and Princess to the death!!"
Wang Yu and the other two knelt down and respectfully addressed the two men.
"Alright! Get up! This time, when the King and Queen leave the capital, Shui Mei will stay in the capital, while Leng Han and Wang Yu will come with me. When we arrive in the Northern Frontier, Leng Han will go to exchange for Lie Yan, and the Queen will need a woman to serve her!"
Li Xiaochen gave the three of them a cold look and gave them a stern order.
"yes!"
The three men clasped their hands in response.
They would have no complaints about the prince's arrangements; as subordinates, they only needed to follow orders.
"Alright, you can all go and get ready!"
Li Xiaochen waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
After they all left, Lin Yuxin came to her senses and looked at Li Xiaochen:
"You don't need to do that, I can protect myself!"
"That's your skill. I won't feel at ease if I don't send someone to be by your side! Besides, you're a princess now. How can you go out without a maid? I know you care about Xiaodie, and you probably won't take her with you this time either. But she's just a servant. Serving you is her duty."
"It's fine if you don't take her now, she's not skilled in martial arts and can't protect you, and I'm not at ease with that. But I have to arrange someone for you who can both protect you and serve you. Xin Xin, listen to me, okay?"
Li Xiaochen said softly that his Xin Xin was still too soft-hearted and too protective of her own people.
"Okay!! I'll do as you say!"
Seeing the seriousness on Li Xiaochen's face, Lin Yuxin finally gave in. She knew that Li Xiaochen was thinking of her, and she didn't want to let him down.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have company on the road!
"Good boy! I know what you're worried about. They are all former secret guards and will not betray me. If Lieyan has any disloyal intentions, she may not be able to survive."
Seeing that she had agreed, Li Xiaochen felt relieved, patted her head, praised her, and also expressed her concerns.
After all, Xin Xin had too many secrets, and he didn't feel comfortable placing someone by her side who wasn't trustworthy.
Lin Yuxin felt relieved after hearing his words. It was so great to have everything arranged for you like this!
Lin Yuxin suddenly remembered that Li Xiaochen touched her head like he was petting a dog, so she immediately looked up and glared at him, then slapped away the hand that was still on her head, looking coquettish!
Where are you putting your hands?
But those few glances made Li Xiaochen's heart itch, and without saying a word, he picked up Lin Yuxin and walked towards the soft couch behind the study.
"Hey!! What are you doing?? Let go of me!!"
No matter how much Lin Yuxin cried out, she was still completely taken advantage of.
The next morning, Lin Yuxin, clutching her aching back, glared angrily at Li Xiaochen, but was still coaxed out of bed by him.
By the time the two of them had finished getting ready, Cheng Tinghao was also brought out of the palace by Li Xiaochen, accompanied by two guards, and there were probably quite a few more hidden around.
Since Lin Yuxin said she would take him along, she wouldn't leave him behind.
When they arrived at the city gate, Qiu Jingfan was already waiting there.
"What? Newlyweds, don't want to go out?"
After a few days apart, Qiu Jingfan still had that same cheeky attitude.
"Of course! There are advantages to getting married, something a single dog like you would never understand!"
Lin Yuxin didn't give him any face this time and directly confronted him.
"you…!"
Qiu Jingfan's mission was unsuccessful! This was the first time he had witnessed Lin Yuxin's sharp tongue. Previously, Lin Yuxin had always been tolerant, which made him think that the princess had a good personality. If she was really angry, she would at most say some harsh words, or let him fart all night like last time.
This is the first time I've seen someone so disrespectful.
Qiu Jingfan was so choked up that he couldn't speak. He waved his sleeve and stopped talking.
Lin Yuxin was happy after winning the first game, and her mood improved as she left home early in the morning.
Besides Qiu Jingfan, Zhao Yinglan and Zhao Yi, along with a hundred special forces soldiers, were also waiting at the city gate. However, since everyone was dressed in civilian clothes, Qiu Jingfan assumed they were just ordinary guards and didn't suspect anything else.
This time, the Emperor did not send his own people to accompany them; the people here are basically from the Zhao family and Li Xiaochen's faction.
In addition to the hundred special forces soldiers on the surface, Li Xiaochen also sent his Zhaixin Pavilion men to operate in the shadows.
The Emperor only sent secret guards to protect Cheng Tinghao, which means that regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, the Emperor is not involved at all! It is entirely up to Li Xiaochen to decide, and he will not interfere.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The hundred special forces soldiers' eyes lit up when they saw Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen arrive. They immediately became alert and respectfully clasped their hands in salute to Li Xiaochen and Lin Yuxin. The level of respect surprised Qiu Jingfan, who was standing to the side.
He knew to some extent that the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom respected Li Xiaochen, after all, he was the God of War of the Xia Kingdom.
But why are they so respectful to a princess? Could it be that these soldiers are infatuated with her because she is Li Xiaochen's wife?
Qiu Jingfan couldn't help but glance at Lin Yuxin a few more times, still unable to figure it out, and decided to observe her further along the way!
"Alright, let's set off!"
Li Xiaochen resumed his usual cold demeanor, looking indifferently at the hundred or so special forces soldiers, and said.
