On the way the ssage was transmitted, Murong Xue had already been invited onto the ship. She was fully awake, and the other party treated her with respect, even assigning two maids skilled in martial arts to attend to her als and daily needs. Their intentions were very clear.
"As long as Princess Yunxi doesn’t act rashly or poison anyone, she will be given the utmost freedom."
She already knew the person who kidnapped her was Beiming Yi, her husband in the original story, who now turned into a stranger in this life. Remarkably, she couldn’t refuse this request because in her past life, it was indeed she who helped him with his leg injury and body poison.
In this life, although she lacked martial arts and inner strength, her proficiency in dicine and poison was not inferior. She only needed to carefully recall how the female lead in the original novel detoxified, so it wasn’t hard. The other party didn’t make it difficult for her, so if she didn’t cooperate, it would be unreasonable.
Thus, she contentedly enjoyed their servitude, ate well, slept well, and ate after she slept. She knew that with her current status, backed by Shui Yixuan, Murong Han, Xiran Island, and Yue Palace, she wouldn’t have to worry about what a crippled Prince could do to her.
With backers, she wasn’t worried or afraid. She cooperated fully throughout, letting the other party breathe a long sigh of relief.
From Lanyue to the Holy Dynasty, first by land, then by water, and then switching back to land, they tossed her around for a full ten and a half days before reaching the Holy Dynasty.
Just as she arrived at the port, before getting off the ship, Murong Xue saw Shui Yixuan standing on the shore, facing the sea breeze with a stern face. He seed quite displeased, and beside him was a horse carriage, entirely black, resembling Beiming Yi’s vehicle.
When she got off the ship, Shui Yixuan approached in a white robe, naturally taking her hand.
"How was it? Did they treat you well?"
Before she could speak, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Beiming Yi’s equally expressionless face.
"Young Master Shui worries too much. Princess Yunxi was invited as my guest; how could she be neglected? Moreover, n and won should not have physical contact; I ask Young Master Shui to respect himself."
With these words, the scene instantly quieted down. Not only were Beiming Yi’s people stunned, but even Murong Xue and Shui Yixuan were equally surprised.
As Shui Yixuan noticed that Beiming Yi’s gaze was constantly fixed on the hand he was holding, his brow furrowed uncontrollably.
With no movent from him, Beiming Yi coldly said, "Princess Yunxi is my guest, and I’ve already instructed King Han to take good care. Young Master Shui, as a man, should consider the princess’s reputation and not be so reckless. What do you say, Young Master?"
Though Shui Yixuan was displeased, given the awkward stage of their relationship under the scrutiny of the public, he indeed had no reason to hold her hand. It was quite impolite behavior, and the reason he did so secretly was to let Beiming Yi know that Murong Xue was his, not soone he could covet.
Under pressure, Shui Yixuan released Murong Xue’s hand. But as he was about to invite her onto his carriage, Beiming Yi spoke again.
"Young Master Shui, Princess Yunxi is my guest, please mind your manners."
"Guest? Is this the way to invite soone over? If you want her to treat your illness, fine, you must obtain permission from my Holy Water Manor. Compared to you and , you are a dangerous person, and I also don’t believe you can protect her well, isn’t that right, Xue’er? You want to co with , don’t you?"
Facing the childish Shui Yixuan, Murong Xue helplessly pulled at the corners of her mouth. Indeed, while the original female lead was more familiar with Beiming Yi, this was not the original story; it was a path according to her style. Moreover, compared to the sincere Shui Yixuan, the scheming Beiming Yi actually made her feel insecure.
Therefore, she politely walked towards Beiming Yi, bowed slightly, and saluted him.
"Thank you, Prince Yi, for appreciating . Considering you seem sincere, I can do you this favor. However... the location must be at Holy Water Manor’s Beijing residence. When you are free, you may co over, and I will take a look at you—but I can’t make promises, and you shouldn’t be dissatisfied if I am unable to help."
"Princess Yunxi, rest assured. I know my limits and have promised King Han. Since the princess has said so, then I won’t force it. When the princess has ti, please send a ssage to Prince Yi’s Mansion, and I can co at any ti for treatnt."
After agreeing, Murong Xue directly got onto Shui Yixuan’s carriage, watching as he drove off proudly, while Beitang Qing remained furious.
"Since when did the Shui Clan Young Master beco so sycophantic? This is not his style at all. Could it be... he likes this Princess Yunxi?"
