With Chen Jingxi's ability to stir up trouble and his strength, it is impossible for him to just sit there and wait for death or be rescued.
Ling Ying nodded. The last time the prince locked the princess in the house, she still ran away. Unless she was tied up, it would be impossible to keep her under normal circumstances.
After figuring out all this, Ling Ying boldly said, "Your Majesty, since the princess has already escaped, why don't you return to the capital first? She will come back sooner or later anyway."
The later the prince returns one day, the more serious his crime will be. I wonder how the emperor will punish the prince then.
Chu Jinghuai glanced at him and subconsciously imitated Chen Jingxi's tone, "You will die sooner or later, why don't you die now?"
Ling Ying: “…”
Why did the prince become so sarcastic? Why did his words sound so familiar?
It's the princess. The prince has been led astray by the princess!

Here, Chen Jingxi found a simple farm family. She told them her story simply and sincerely, and without hesitation gave all the valuable things she had to the farmers.
Upon hearing this, the farming couple felt pity and agreed to Chen Jingxi's request without saying a word.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Chen Jingxi changed into the simple clothes of a farmer's daughter and went to Wuzhou City with the farmer couple.
After a long journey, the outline of Wuzhou City gradually came into view. The city gate was majestic and the city was bustling with people coming and going.
Chen Jingxi carried a basket of vegetables and followed the farming couple with his head down.
Everyone entered the city in turn holding a pass and a badge. The soldiers guarding the city checked very carefully and questioned anyone they saw who was suspicious.
Chen Jingxi is a member of the royal family, so she has a jade token, but she doesn't carry it with her at all times. Even if she did, she wouldn't dare use it.
She used the license plate of the farmer couple's daughter and passed the inspection.
After finding a dark alley, Chen Jingxi said goodbye to the farmer and his wife: "Thank you, uncle and aunt."
The farmer couple smiled innocently and waved goodbye, "Girl, be careful."
Chen Jingxi nodded.
Well, what she has to do next is revenge. Wuzhou is Chu Jingxun's fiefdom. Tuoba Wu brought her here, and she doesn't believe that it has nothing to do with Chu Jingxun.
She thought about it for a moment and then smiled.
…
Inside the governor's office.
"Sir!" The bailiff knelt on the ground, his voice filled with urgency. "Just now, a village girl came to report that several people were spotted behaving strangely near the Baisha River. Their accents didn't sound like those of local Wuzhou people."
Upon hearing this, the governor frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Someone acting strangely? What exactly is unusual about him?"
The yamen runner looked up and quickly repeated the village girl's description. At the end, he hesitated for a moment, but still dared to put forward his own guess: "Sir, do you think these people are spies?"
Upon hearing this, the governor fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he slammed the table and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Take a team and immediately go to the area near Baisha River to investigate. If it's true as the village girl said, those people are acting strangely, capture them and bring them back. I want to interrogate them personally!"
Upon hearing this, the yamen runner was startled and quickly responded, "Yes, sir! I'll make the arrangements right away!"
——
Tuoba Wu and his group soaked in the river all night. He had no place to vent his anger, and a group of yamen runners quickly surrounded him.
The two sides started fighting without saying a word.
After a fierce fight, Tuoba Wu and others were finally exhausted and subdued by the yamen runners.
The group was tied up and escorted into Wuzhou City.
Chen Jingxi hid in the crowd, looking at Tuoba Wu with disheveled hair and muddy body, and quickly covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud.
Tuoba Wu's gloomy face suddenly looked at the crowd.
The yamen runner beside him kicked him and said, "Behave yourself."
Chen Jingxi left with satisfaction, feeling that the kick had been avenged.
Next, it’s time to…
As night fell, a mansion suddenly erupted in flames. The servants panicked, carrying buckets and basins of water, and nervously but orderly moved through the sea of fire...
"Prince, be careful!" A servant shouted anxiously. He waved the wet cloth in his hand to try to disperse the smoke around him, and urged others to speed up the fire-fighting.
Chen Jingxi, who was standing not far away, heard the sound and looked back. She saw a man in gorgeous clothes standing not far away in the firelight with a stern face.
Chen Jingxi was shocked. Chu Jingxun was actually here. It seemed that she had set the fire in the wrong place.
At the same time, Chu Jingxun's eyes instantly caught sight of her figure.
He frowned slightly and said, "That person, stop!"
Chen Jingxi's body trembled involuntarily and she ran away...
Chu Jingxun quickly gave the order: "Bring that man back!"
Following his order, several well-trained guards immediately rushed out from the crowd and chased after Chen Jingxi swiftly.
Chen Jingxi ran towards a big tree beside the wall, climbed up the thick trunk in an instant, jumped up, and landed steadily on the ground.
Just then, a carriage came towards them. Without thinking twice, Chen Jingxi stopped the carriage, jumped on it, and shouted to the coachman, "Hurry up! Hurry!"
The coachman was startled by this sudden change, but he reacted immediately, whipped the horse whip hard, and the carriage rushed out like an arrow.
Seeing this, the guards drew their swords and tried to chase after them, but were stopped by another group of people who arrived.
Chen Jingxi gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and confirmed that there were no pursuers behind him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
