The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Xia Wenjin said with a half-smile, "I don’t mind, so does Young Master Xuan have any objections?"

Huangfu Yuxuan’s expression changed: "Xia Wenjin, do you know how others will perceive you if you do this?"

Xia Wenjin said indifferently, "I don’t know! And I don’t want to know! I live for myself, why should I care how others see me?"

Saying this, she waved to Huangfu Jingchen: "Get in the carriage!"

Huangfu Jingchen smiled, helped Xia Wenjin into the carriage, and got on himself. Gu Heng put away the mounting block. Over there, Jiang Ning, seeing Huangfu Jingchen board Xia Wenjin’s carriage, made a gesture with a beaming smile, indicating he would take the young master’s horse back.

Huangfu Yuxuan watched the two acting as if no one else was present, fuming with anger. The woman he had his eyes on disregarded him like this, yet was so close to Huangfu Jingchen. He wouldn’t let this slide!

The blue-cloth carriage moved slowly, leaving behind Huangfu Yuxuan’s luxurious carriage. Xia Wenjin laughed.

Huangfu Jingchen gazed at her softly, his voice even softer: "Why are you laughing?"

Xia Wenjin’s eyes sparkled, the smile on her face hadn’t faded, revealing her pearly teeth. She said cheerfully, "Do you know why he appeared in Jinzhou, why he wants to marry me, a Jianghu girl?"

Huangfu Jingchen said, "I know!"

Xia Wenjin asked in surprise, "Oh, you really know?"

Huangfu Jingchen nodded and said, "We’ve met Mo Qingfeng, he is an inheritor of the Stargazing Method, but there’s another Stargazing Method Fragment in this world!"

This topic was a bit abrupt, but Xia Wenjin wasn’t surprised at all, she laughed: "So, what have you found out?"

Huangfu Jingchen’s gaze fell on her beautiful face, her brows like distant mountains with grace, her eyes like autumn waters shimmering. Wenjin is truly beautiful! He said, "After you were kidnapped, I found Prince Zhuang suspicious, so I went to Prince Zhuang Mansion, but I didn’t find anything. However, I did discover that the Director of the Astronomical Bureau showed up at the mansion, sneaking around, and left in a hurry. When we followed him, we found out that this Director was no simple man; he had obtained the Stargazing Method Fragment, could observe the stars, determine blessings and misfortunes, foresee the future, and even know life and death!"

Xia Wenjin said with interest, "You’ve found out quite a lot, what else?"

Huangfu Jingchen said, "Prince Zhuang wants to get rid of me because the Director of the Astronomical Bureau said my destiny obstructed his. Huangfu Yuxuan wants to eliminate me because he wants to marry you! Your kidnapping was a setup, there’s no connection between Prince Zhuang and Huangfu Yuxuan, but this scheme was linked by that Director alone. Huangfu Yuxuan’s goal was to eliminate me and then save you, making you grateful to him! Prince Zhuang’s goal was to eliminate me and frame Huangfu Yuxuan!"

Xia Wenjin looked at him and said, "These are things you found out later, but how did you know I was at Fengming Manor before?"

"Prince Zhuang sent me the message! Since he set the trap, he had to lure me there, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste?"

Xia Wenjin said, "Knowing it was a trap, why did you still go?"

Huangfu Jingchen’s gaze landed between her delicate brows and eyes, with a soft sigh: "Even if it was a trap, you were truly at Fengming Manor, in danger, life or death unknown! How could I not go?"

Xia Wenjin put away her smile, her eyes gradually becoming misty, she said softly, "Fool! I wouldn’t have been in any real danger, Huangfu Yuxuan wouldn’t let anything happen to me, even if he wanted to harm me, I could protect myself! Don’t take such risks anymore."

Huangfu Jingchen gently held her hand and said, "Do you also know why Huangfu Yuxuan wants to marry you?"

Xia Wenjin said, "Yes! That Director of the Astronomical Bureau is up to tricks! As for astrology, destiny, I don’t believe in it, but Huangfu Yuxuan does!" She looked at Huangfu Jingchen: "If one day, Huangfu Yuxuan sits on that dragon throne, what do you think?"

Huangfu Jingchen shook his head and said, "If I didn’t know that the Yuqing County Governor was his man, if I didn’t know he sent people to control Shian Temple, and all those heinous things he did, maybe I’d think he’s bold and capable. But now I can’t. A man who disregards the people’s suffering just to achieve his aims and seize power sitting on that throne, would it be a blessing for the people?"

Xia Wenjin nodded and said, "Of course not! So, what will you do?"
