At the city gate, there was a large carriage pulled by two black horses. Sitting in the carriage were Xue Huan and Yuan Xi.
Xue Huan was waiting for Eunuch Cheng and his group, while Yuan Xi waited with her.
Eunuch Cheng and his entourage were accompanied by guards leading the way and following behind, and they marched in a mighty procession, attracting considerable attention.
Pedestrians on the road avoided it.
Xue Jing rode his horse and took Eunuch Cheng to the city gate.
"Okay, Master Xue, please go back. Miss Xue, our family will take good care of you."
In the carriage, Eunuch Cheng lifted the curtain and said to Xue Jingdao on horseback. When he said the word "look after", he emphasized the tone, which was meaningful.
Xue Jing bowed to him and said, "Although the eldest lady is not my biological daughter, she has been raised in my house for so many years. She is as good as my own. This separation is really painful for me. But with your words, I am relieved."
Xue Jing performed with true emotion in front of everyone.
Eunuch Cheng lowered the curtains, and just as the team was about to move forward, a voice rang out, "Eunuch Cheng, I'm here. Who is the person you picked up in the carriage? Could someone have impersonated her? If so, that person would be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
Xue Huan lifted the curtain of the carriage and came out, standing on the high shaft, speaking in a loud voice.
When she said this, Eunuch Cheng, Xue Jing and Xue Wan in the carriage were all shocked.
Eunuch Cheng: This woman calls herself "Miss Ben"? Could she be Xue Huan? But isn't Xue Huan already dead? Why did she suddenly appear?
Since they were already on the same boat, Xue Jing did not hide the news from Eunuch Cheng and told him that Xue Huan was dead. Eunuch Cheng, who had been worried that Xue Huan would appear again, was relieved.
Who would have thought that not long after he let go of his worry, the person who was dead in Xue Jing's words actually appeared before him alive again!
When he saw the face of the woman on the shaft of the carriage, Eunuch Cheng was shocked again. She looked extremely similar to Lin Lan from many years ago!
Eunuch Cheng had seen Lin Lan from afar many years ago. Because Lin Lan was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament, he had never forgotten that glance until now. When he first saw Xue Huan, he thought it was Lin Lan who was reborn and standing in front of him.
However, he and Xue Jing had already planned everything and would not tolerate any changes. Even if this woman was really Xue Huan, they could not acknowledge her identity!
Eunuch Cheng quickly analyzed the stakes and reacted, "You daring woman! Miss Xue, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changyang is in that carriage behind us. Where did you come from? Get out of the way! Don't block our way, or we won't let you go!"
Eunuch Cheng appears to be a tough guy but is actually weak inside and tries to scare Xue Huan away.
Anyway, as long as they don’t admit it, how can Xue Huan prove that she is Xue Huan?
However, in order to prevent this woman from running to the capital and causing trouble again, she must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Eunuch Cheng's eyes.
Xue Huan chuckled softly. At this moment, the curtain behind her was lifted and Yuan Xi walked out. "Eunuch Cheng is so arrogant. Who are you going to kill?"
Seeing Yuan Xi, Eunuch Cheng was almost paralyzed with fear. He quickly rolled out of the carriage and knelt on the ground to salute him: "Your servant greets His Highness Prince Yan. I was blind and did not recognize the great man. I have offended His Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
His head kept hitting the ground.
He looked so frightened that if you didn't know him, you would really think he had seen the King of Hell.
However, the reality is similar.
Speaking of King Yan, he is a household name in Dayong. Everyone knows that he is a bloodthirsty, cruel and brutal man who will kill people if he disagrees with them. When people talk about him in private, they call him "King Yan".
Although Prince Yan was young, just a young man of twenty years old, he was of the same generation as the emperor. When the prince saw him, he had to bow his head and call him the emperor's uncle.
His military achievements were so great and his power was so overwhelming that even the emperor was wary of him.
Everyone in the court and the country was in awe of him.
How could Eunuch Cheng not be afraid when he saw him? He was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble.
I kept wailing in my heart, how could I have met this King of Hell!
But he happens to be with Xue Huan, and his stance is clearly biased towards Xue Huan.
Eunuch Cheng knelt down, and the others also reacted one after another and knelt on the ground. In an instant, the originally bustling city gate became silent. Everyone held their breath and knelt down, praying that the legendary King of Hell would not start a massacre here.
Rumors are always exaggerated. The reason why Yuan Xi had such a terrible reputation was naturally related to his condition when the poison took effect. Coupled with the deliberate exaggeration and dissemination of rumors by some people with ulterior motives, his reputation became more and more exaggerated, almost to the point of being able to stop children from crying at night.
But Yuan Xi himself doesn't care much about it.
He even secretly added fuel to the fire.
Because of this, almost half of the ladies who had been pestering him and always trying to meet him by chance disappeared.
Even though the rest of them still hadn't given up on him, they didn't dare to run up to him easily.
It made him feel a lot more at peace.
However, at this moment, when Xue Huan gave him a puzzled and surprised look, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Huan Huan knew his bad reputation, so she wouldn't be scared by him and distance herself from him from now on, right?
In reality, his worries were unnecessary. Xue Huan had already seen his most awful side when the poison took effect, so how could she be frightened by him? After all, she wasn't raised to be scared. Hadn't she seen enough terrifying things in her past life?
As for distancing myself from him because of this, that is even more impossible.
When she looks at a person, she only considers her own feelings and does not listen to any rumors.
Can't she feel whether a person is good or not, and whether he is worth dating?
Xue Wan, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, also had to get off and kneel down to salute. Xue Huan was standing next to Yuan Xi, so she also accepted the salutes from these people.
Yuan Xi: "Everyone, get up."
He glanced at Eunuch Cheng, said nothing, and turned to get into the carriage.
Xue Huan didn't say anything else. Yuan Xi had already come out to support her. She thought that Eunuch Cheng would not continue to play the game of "substitute someone for someone else", right?
Eunuch Cheng really didn't dare to do it anymore. Even the great Buddha, Prince Yan, had shown up. It was obvious that he knew what he had done, and his attitude was leaning towards Xue Huan. If he continued to deceive, wouldn't he be waiting for him to break his neck?
King Yan kills people, but he never acts reasonably.
When it comes to life, power has to take a back seat. After all, if you lose your life, you lose everything.
Eunuch Cheng quickly climbed onto the carriage and ordered the team to follow Prince Yan's carriage in front, but not to overtake it.
As for Xue Jing and his daughter, he had simply abandoned them.
Xue Jing and Xue Wan, father and daughter, who were left there, looked at each other, unable to cry.
Is their dream of becoming a princess shattered just like that?
Prince Yan came forward and even just said one sentence, which scared Eunuch Cheng so much that he gave up the plan.
Xue Wan's gaze followed the tall carriage in front, and a hint of heat flashed in her eyes.
The most tragic thing in the world is not not getting it, but getting it and then losing it.
Originally, Xue Wan had never thought that she could become the Crown Princess, but when she had the opportunity to replace Xue Huan and go to Beijing to become the Crown Princess, her ambition suddenly swelled.
Yeah, why can't she?
Although her family background is not outstanding, as long as she becomes "Xue Huan", she will be the eldest daughter of the Changyang Marquis Mansion.
Not good-looking? The most important thing for a Crown Princess is to be dignified and virtuous. With her gentle and dignified appearance, perhaps she can win the favor of the Empress?
Finally, her talent is the best among all the sisters. She has now reached the fifth level of body refining, far surpassing her peers.
So, in the end, she was chosen by her father to replace Xue Huan.
They were already on the carriage heading into the city, so why did Xue Huan appear again? Why did she appear?
Why would she, a useless person who couldn't practice cultivation, come and snatch this opportunity from her?
