The following day, at the Prince of Jin's residence.

"Damn it, wasn't it said that Zhen Mi had already lost her virginity? This time she has made me lose face in front of the Emperor."

Chen Heng limped, his eyes filled with rage.

Even with two handsome young boys serving him at his side, Chen Heng's anger could not be quelled.

"Your Highness, why not summon the Seventh Prince and ask him what his strategy is?"

One of the boys raised her pinky finger and hooked it against Chen Heng's abdomen, making a seductive sound.

"Yes, Chen Zhi hates the King of Qin to the bone, he must have a good plan."

Chen Heng knew that Chen Zhi was well-read and knowledgeable. However, due to his background, his wisdom could not be given important positions, so he had been lying low, waiting for an opportunity to vie for the throne.

Now that he has the support of power, Chen Zhi will be able to use his talents to deal with the King of Qin.

"Summon the Seventh Prince to see me immediately," Chen Heng said coldly, his eyes narrowing.

"Yes, sir." The guard beside him bowed.

After a long while, Chen Zhi strode into Chen Heng's study and bowed to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng looked at Chen Zhi and frowned, saying, "We didn't succeed last night, yet Zhen Mi didn't lose her virginity."

"I expected this to happen," Chen Zhi said.

Chen Heng was visibly startled, and looked at Chen Zhi:

"Do you have any way to deal with the King of Qin? His influence in the court is growing stronger and stronger. I won't be at ease until he's eliminated."

"Brother, isn't there a hunting festival coming up soon? All the princes will be participating. This is a perfect opportunity to deal with the Prince of Qin," Chen Zhi said with a smile.

"You mean to send someone to assassinate the King of Qin?" Chen Heng's expression changed slightly. The King of Qin was currently favored, and assassinating him would inevitably alarm the court and the public.

"Of course not, but to create a tragedy in which Chen Xuan murders the prince."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty need not worry, I will take care of everything. This time, I will make sure that Chen Heng will be unable to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River."

Seeing Chen Zhi's confident expression, Chen Heng nodded in agreement: "I'll leave this matter to you. I don't care about the process, I only care about the result..."

……

Qin Wangfu.

Chen Xuan walked towards Zhen Mi, gently stroking her hair, a hint of doubt on his face.

"Mi'er, didn't we already do that before? Why is your handkerchief red? Who was it last night?"

Zhen Mi said calmly, "What do you mean 'red'? What are you talking about? We still have to go back to my parents' home today. Father and Mother are still waiting, husband, we shouldn't keep them waiting too long."

Chen Xuan then realized that today was the day for his wife to return to her parents' home, so he stopped asking questions.

"Your Highness, Madam, the sedan chair is ready. It's time to go for the homecoming visit."

Outside, a pretty girl walked over and bowed to the two of them.

The girl looked to be about eighteen years old and looked exactly like Li Yitong.

At first glance, Chen Xuan thought he was a big star.

It took a long time to realize that the girl was still quite naive, and besides, he was no longer in that world.

"who is she?"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"She is my personal maid, named Li Tong," Zhen Mi introduced.

Li Tong, being quick-witted, hurriedly bowed to Chen Xuan and said, "Your Highness, from now on, Tong'er will be responsible for taking care of your and your wife's daily life. When your wife is not available, Tong'er can serve you in her place."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at Li Tong. No wonder they looked so alike, even their names were similar.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the woman I shared a room with last night was Li Tong?

However, upon closer inspection of Li Tong's figure, it became clear that something was amiss.

The woman he shared a room with last night was very voluptuous, and had a mature, sophisticated face.

In contrast, Li Tong is tall and graceful with fair skin that looks so tender it seems like you could squeeze water out of it, and she clearly has a youthful innocence.

"Your Highness, is there something dirty on Tong'er?"

Li Tong looked around, carefully checking her clothes.

Seeing Li Tong's serious expression, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head, saying, "It's nothing, let's go."

Chen Xuan and Zhen Mi walked out of the mansion, with Deng Mei following behind them.

The carriage was parked at the door.

Beside the carriage stood a woman dressed in blue, holding a long sword, her expression as cold as ice.

Upon seeing the woman, Chen Xuan was instantly awestruck.

This woman had eyebrows like distant mountains and delicate features; her beauty was absolutely no less than that of any other woman beside him.

Those fair thighs and voluptuous figure would make any man who saw her unable to resist having wicked thoughts.

But on that cold face, there was always a hint of arrogance that kept people at a distance.

Even as Chen Xuan walked towards her, she didn't even glance at him.

"And who is this woman?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Her name is Qianmeng. She has a cold personality and her swordsmanship is superb. Your Highness, just a gentle reminder, be careful when speaking in front of Sister Qianmeng. If she gets angry, she won't care about your status and will draw her sword without hesitation..." Li Tong whispered in Chen Xuan's ear.

"Qianmeng? Not cute at all."

Chen Xuan made a sarcastic remark.

As he got into the sedan chair, Chen Xuan couldn't help but glance at Qianmeng.

A terrifying killing intent flashed in Qianmeng's eyes as she gripped the hilt of her sword.

Chen Xuan was no ordinary man; he was skilled in martial arts.

But the terrifying pressure he had just felt made Chen Xuan's heart pound.

Deng Mei, who was standing nearby, immediately realized that Qian Meng had malicious intentions.

She charged towards Qianmeng and threw a punch at her.

Li Tong instinctively covered her eyes: "This is a tragedy."

boom.

Qianmeng reached out and calmly grabbed Deng Mei's wrist.

Then, with a gentle pat on Deng Mei's chest, Deng Mei was sent flying backward.

Qianmeng simply crossed her arms, looking completely unconcerned.

"She subdued Deng Mei in one move? This...this woman is terrifying. But her name is too deceptive." Chen Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.

How could he not know Deng Mei's skill level?

The result was such a crushing defeat?

"Who exactly is this woman to your young lady?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"She is our young lady's bodyguard. Apart from our young lady, there are very few people in the world who can catch her eye," Li Tong said.

Guards?

Chen Xuan was so surprised that he was speechless.

In his view, although Zhen Mi was a traditional noblewoman, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she had no experience in the martial arts world. How could she possibly make such a master willingly become her bodyguard?

"Madam, the people around you are truly a hidden force of geniuses," Chen Xuan couldn't help but remark.

Zhen Mi smiled gently and said, "Husband, although Qianmeng has a cold personality, she is a very good person. As long as you don't offend her, there will be no problem."

Chen Xuan felt a jolt of fear. It seemed he would have to be careful when dealing with this woman in the future.

After all, if such a master were to attack him, he would surely die.

"Alright, it's almost time. We should go back to our parents' home for the traditional wedding ceremony," Zhen Mi said.

Afterwards, Li Tong helped Chen Xuan and Zhen Mi into the carriage.
