"Bring my rabbit." Jing Xiaotong instructed.

"Princess, your servant doesn't dare. The Crown Prince has decreed that you must wait until the princess is married before he can return the rabbit to you." She didn't want to anger Jing Xiaotong anymore. In order to please her, she quickly added, "But don't worry Princess, the rabbit is being well looked after."

"Alright, alright." Jing Xiaotong waved her hand and said irritably, "You actually took a rabbit as a hostage. No, you're a rabbit. Hmph, Nan Mingcheng, you really are something."

"Princess, please calm your anger. This humble servant will attend the meeting. Princess, you should go check on the little rabbit." Lyu Xiu's chance to show her sincerity had come. After staying at the court for so long, she had a good eye.

"Don't call yourself a servant anymore. Just call me Xiu. I can't stand hearing that." Jing Xiaotong's ten sentences to Lyu Xiu were almost like a cocoon, so she wasn't used to it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Xiu." This was the beginning for her master to accept her.

"Why did the team stop?" Jing Xiaotong opened the window and looked out.

Nan Mingcheng was standing not far from the carriage, and a dark-skinned man was respectfully talking to him. The man had a clear facial outline, was tall and sturdy, had shiny black skin, and looked very valiant.

"Who is that?" Jing Xiaotong asked casually.

"Reporting to Princess, that's the Great General Xuanyuan from Yun Country."

Yun Country person? Jing Xiaotong started to wail in her heart. Could it be that the people from Yun Country were just so intrepid? As she thought of this, her heart froze. This was too scary. Could it be that the future husband of the crown prince was also like this?

Jing Xiaotong had a bitter expression on her face. If General Xuanyuan had escorted them all the way, then he would definitely have troops with him. That's right, let's go down and take a look. We can't deny everyone just because of one person.

Thinking of this, she quickly got off the carriage and walked beside Nan Mingcheng.

"Xuanyuan Yi greets the princess." The sturdy man bowed politely towards Jing Xiaotong.

Jing Xiaotong did not answer. She looked at Xuanyuan Yi's face before scanning him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. She then looked behind him and asked, "Are you the only one coming?"

Seeing Jing Xiaotong's reaction, Nan Mingcheng smiled again. He had already seen through Jing Xiaotong's thoughts.

"I will be following you in the future, as well as some of your subordinates. We are here to welcome the princess on the orders of the emperor and the crown prince." Xuanyuan Yi replied respectfully.

Jing Xiaotong wasn't paying attention and wasn't listening. She was only looking behind her and saw from afar that Xuanyuan Yi's subordinates were all black, not white anyway, and none of them were good-looking. Perhaps in her heart, it was very natural to compare the different types of Yun Country with Nan Mingcheng.

She was instantly disappointed. Actually, she forgot that these were all soldiers. They had been training in the open air for a long time, so where could they go for nothing? She thought that there were beautiful men everywhere, but only Nan Mingcheng was here.

"Alright, prepare to continue on your way!" Nan Mingcheng said.

"I want convenience." Jing Xiaotong really did have to go to the toilet. When Xuanyuan Yi heard this, she awkwardly excused herself.

"Go to the carriage and ask Lyu Xiu to take you to the toilet." Nan Mingcheng pouted and said in a good mood.

"No, I'm going to the forest for convenience." With that, Jing Xiaotong turned around and headed into the forest. She really didn't want to pee in a pot like that.

Nan Mingcheng wanted to stop her, but he thought better of it. Thus, he followed her into the woods. Jing Xiaotong found a secluded bush and looked back at Nan Mingcheng. He stopped ten steps away from her and turned around to observe for three weeks.

Jing Xiaotong took off her pants and squatted down. She tried to let the water go as gently as possible so as not to make any noise. Just as she finished, just as she was about to stand up and pull up her pants, she heard a rustling sound, and then she felt her body go soft. Not good. Chinese medicine.

It's happening again, this is the tempo of suicide. Jing Xiaotong's entire body was powerless, she could send herself to the underworld's hall with a single piss.

"Nan Mingcheng." She screamed out in fear. When she heard about the unusual movement, Nan Mingcheng had already flown towards her. Then, he saw several men in black holding their swords rushing towards Jing Xiaotong's face.

Jing Xiaotong anxiously picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the black clothed man. One of the black clothed men let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

Just when the other black-clothed men were about to stab her, she thought she was dead for sure. She saw Nan Mingcheng swing his slender sword in the air, and along with the sword tip, a powerful force swept towards the black-clothed men.

Nan Mingcheng took advantage of the black clothed man's retreat to avoid the gap of strength and quickly grabbed Jing Xiaotong's waist. Then, he took advantage of the movement technique and quickly ran towards the direction of the carriage outside the woods. Everything happened too suddenly and too quickly. Jing Xiaotong didn't even have the time to pull up her pants, so she could only hold it in one hand and look miserable.

The black clothed person did not chase them. The escorts that accompanied them had already noticed them and sent a small group of people to chase them. Nan Mingcheng and Jing Xiaotong quickly got into the carriage, put her on the soft spot and chased after them.

This time, Jing Xiaotong had decided that once she had settled down, she must learn a skill to protect herself. The legendary Nine-tailed Fox Monster was simply too miserable to deal with. No, it was too sad.

Nan Mingcheng went back into the forest and tried to find some clues, but all he saw was the dead body of the man in black, who was too late to take him away. He was dead and had nothing on him.

The fatal wound was a stone thrown by Jing Xiaotong. The stone was only able to get 30% of the meat... Logically speaking, a stone should not be enough to kill people. Nan Mingcheng fell into deep thought: 'Is she really just an orphan?'

Nan Mingcheng returned to the carriage and stood in front of Jing Xiaotong, carefully observing her. The warm smile was no longer on his face. Instead, it was replaced with an unprecedented seriousness and scrutiny.

Her long hair was tied up high in the air, and a pair of eyebrows flew obliquely into her hair. Her long, slender, beautiful eyes were slightly raised on either side of her eyes, and as her gaze moved back and forth, a pair of deep, dark eyes seemed to want to sink into her. Her long eyelashes formed a silhouette on her face, and a pair of small, diamond-shaped lips under her elegant nose captivated her, causing her red clothes to brighten her skin even more.

Nan Mingcheng was confused. In the forest, when he flew towards her, he saw a pair of purple eyes. Jing Xiaotong was devilishly charming, and the red mark between her brows was like a tiny knife wound that was about to ooze blood.

On closer look, her pair of black eyes were clear and cold, and the corners of her mouth held a smile. Where was the sign of a purple pupil? Could it be that she was hallucinating?
