Hearing Nangong Xuan's words, Bai Zhixi's heart felt even more wronged. She threw herself into his embrace and started to cry loudly, crying until she was out of breath, and poured out all of the grievances and fear that she had suffered these past few days out.

Nangong Xuan's heart was currently sour, his eyes flickered with clarity and coldness with determination.

The night was as dark as ink, terrifyingly pitch-black. Waves of heart-wrenching cries came from the Red Dust Inn. It was especially ear-piercing in the silence of the night.

Sacred Yuan 24 June 20, the Emperor of Southern Frontier was sick once again, all the people in the imperial court were panic-stricken, internal strife quietly arose.

Zhao Shangshu, who had been missing for many days, suddenly appeared in the imperial court, causing an uproar. He also carried the emperor's personal letter, and under the name of support, he was on equal footing with the Prime Minister Qin, giving the latter the right to monopolize power.

With the Prime Minister Qin and Zhao Shangshu as the leaders, the two parties had a clear side to the battle. The two sides were evenly matched, with neither side giving in to the other.

After recuperating for a few days, Bai Zhixi's body gradually became better.

Although the Profound Emperor's poison had been detoxified, he had been poisoned for a long time. Adding to the fact that his body was extremely weak due to his years of hard work, it was unknown whether or not he would wake up.

After Nangong Xuan and Bai Zhixi discussed matters, Bai Zhixi decided to use her identity as the princess of Southern Frontier to head to the Southern Frontier Imperial Palace by herself to stabilize the situation there. He took the opportunity to investigate how many hidden pillars the Prime Minister Qin had planted in the Imperial Palace.

Nangong Xuan, on the other hand, continued to lurk outside the palace, gathering evidence of Prime Minister Qin's conspiracy, in order to conceal his identity.

Since the Prime Minister Qin had the intention to rebel, he would definitely not tolerate Nangong Xuan's existence. With the first murder, there would definitely be a second time. There were countless pairs of eyes hiding in the shadows, watching every move in the city.

The sun was shining brightly. A luxurious yet dignified carriage stopped at the eastern gate of the capital.

It was said that Minister Zhao had followed the imperial edict and picked up the princess who had been stranded in the outside world for several years, and brought her back to the Southern Frontier.

Her appearance caused an uproar, quietly changing the fate of this burning capital.

"Damn it, this damned Minister Zhao actually hid it from the Prime Minister and secretly brought the princess back." The situation now is not good for us! "

Within the Prime Minister's Estate, a few officials gathered together. Imperial Physician Chu Nu slammed his hands on the table, his tone carrying a hint of anger.

The Imperial Physician's banquet was an awe-inspiring feast, and he was very handsome. His gaze was like a pair of cold stars, his eyebrows were like two lacquers.

He was also a descendant of the founding elders of the Southern Frontier, and because he was dissatisfied with Nangong Xuanyi taking only Minister Zhao's sister as his concubine, he turned over the Prime Minister Qin to help the evil and maltreat the people.

Nan Gong Xuan Yi considered that he was a descendant of the founding family, so he turned a blind eye to it. He never thought that he would come back lawlessly, colluding with the Prime Minister Qin to murder Nan Gong Xuan Yi.

"No worries." A little girl who was born stupid could not stir up any big waves. Right now, we should first find Nangong Xuan, the most important thing right now is to kill him. "

After drinking the last mouthful of tea, a trace of gloom flashed through Qin Cang's eyes.

In his eyes, Bai Zhixi was just a silly little girl who had grown up. Even if she recovered, she was still someone who had not seen the world, who had no experience, and could not threaten his position.

"But where is this Nangong Xuan hiding? Our men turned the river upside down, but there was no sign of him, no body. Could it be that I've been taken as a meal by the hungry fish? "

The moment the words left his mouth, the room instantly quieted down. The officials looked at each other as if this was a reasonable explanation.

"If he is alive, I want to see him. If he is dead, I want to see his corpse. Nangong Xuan was definitely not as simple as he looked. Do you think that Nangong Xuanyi would give his mountains and rivers to someone who has nothing to do? "Stupid to the extreme."

Prime Minister Qin's face darkened as he glared fiercely at the officials.

"Let's go and welcome the princess whom we have never met."

After a long while, the Prime Minister Qin seemed to finally suppress the anger in his heart.

Early in the morning, the warm sunlight shone down and the capital, which had been deserted for several days, finally became lively. There were people coming and going at the market and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

The inn that was right in front of them had long been reserved so that they could gaze upon the appearance of the one and only princess in the entire Southern Frontier.

"The princess is here …"

Someone from the crowd shouted. Suddenly, the crowd burst into an uproar. They pushed and shoved each other as they rushed forward, stretching out their necks to look at the princess' posture.

In a split-second, the sound of trampling horses could be clearly heard. It was as if the horses' hooves had been premeditated for a beat, and no flaws could be detected. And thus came closer, and closer still, than ever, into the sight of the people.

The noble and luxurious carriage in his view moved, inch by inch, inch by inch, and was surrounded on all sides by expensive and exquisite silks. The golden panes of the window were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe, making it impossible for anyone outside the carriage to see the beauties in the luxurious, speeding carriage.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew the veil over the carriage, exposing the beauty within the carriage to the crowd.

Bai Zhixi was dressed in a light jade long skirt that dragged across the ground. The outer cover is the same color long gown, embroidered on the hibiscus flowers, the pattern is slightly complex, amber stone inlay in the cuff, with silver wire lock.

Her arm was wrapped in light green silk, and she had a dainty silver brocade dashing along her waist, revealing her slim figure and her dripping posture. Her black hair was tied up in a white jade hairpin made from plum blossoms. The green Green Jade Seal Stone was embedded in the stamen of her hair. A peacock silver step slanted into the black hair, tasseled share, inlaid with tender pink lotus, suffused with a little white.

The commoners were stunned as they looked at her in surprise.

Seeing that, Bai Zhixi smiled, with a smile on his face that was warmer than the sun in March, he waved to the people.

These were all citizens of the Southern Frontier. Regardless of whether they sincerely welcomed her, a princess who had been left behind since childhood, or decided to join the Prime Minister Qin and wholeheartedly fight against her, the Nan Gong Family's Jiang Shan.

They could not lose face for the royal father, the dignity and etiquette of the royal family in Southern Frontier.

"Witch, go to hell!"

Suddenly, a few black-clothed men in the crowd flew up into the air. With shining swords in hand, they rushed towards Bai Zhixi like a hot knife through butter, heading straight for her throat.

Bai Zhixi sneered. She knew that this trip to the imperial palace would be fraught with difficulties.

Since someone was courting death, wouldn't she be letting the others have their way and saving them from thinking that she was a weak and incompetent princess?

A shadow suddenly flashed in Soo Soo's eyes. With a palm strike, she shattered the horse carriage and flew into the air. She then kicked the chest of the man in black who was closest to her.

The black clothed man didn't seem to think that she knew martial arts. His eyes were glazed over as he looked at her in disbelief.

Bai Zhixi took the chance to kick her again and seized the sword in his hand. With a light wave, a head fell from the sky and rolled into the crowd.

When the rest of the black-clothed men saw this, their hearts could not help but tremble. They looked at each other, and rushed towards Bai Zhixi.

The wind blew, sweeping up the shredded curtains.

The sword qi attacked people, the world was filled with desolate and murderous intent.

Bai Zhixi raised his sword horizontally across his chest, his gaze never leaving the black-clothed man's actions.

The black clothed person and her, the sword in their hands flashed out at the same time, like a thunderbolt, they flew towards the wind in front of their opponent, only hearing the shattering cold light that flashed past them, Bai Zhixi turned his arm, the sword actually started spinning between their fingers, causing the sound that was spreading in the sky to fall down, almost including the black clothed man's hand. Suddenly, several swords flew out from their mouths and landed on the street with a 'chi' sound, creating countless sparks.

Bai Zhixi instantly retracted the sword in his hand, the black clothed man was like a disheartened cat, he rolled down and heavily crashed onto the ground, in an instant he was tightly surrounded by the imperial guards, unable to escape.

"Look, it's actually the Great Feast's man …" "He's going to commit suicide …"

A person with the appearance of a commoner shouted from the crowd. Looking around, he saw one of the men in black trembling with fear and was about to put some pills in his mouth.

Hearing that, Yu Lin Army shot a glance at Bai Zhixi, and immediately squatted down, pinched his mouth, and smacked him on the back with his palm, and spat out the pill.

"Your Highness, this old subject came late and surprised Your Highness. Please forgive me."

Zhao Shangshu ran over with a head full of sweat as he bowed to Bai Zhixi.

Ever since he received Nangong Xuan's orders yesterday, he had begun to make preparations.

He didn't expect that the criminal would take advantage of a loophole to place a bewitching incense in his room, pushing him into the countryside for hundreds of miles, wanting to kill him quickly.

Luckily the Crown Prince was careful and sprinkled the scent of flowers on his body, allowing his men to find him, and even save his old life.

"The letter just happened to come at the right time. This group of villains dare to assassinate this princess in the streets. They are truly lawless and do not put the Heavenly Might of the imperial family in their eyes. Even though this princess has been living in the outside world since young, I still possess the royal bloodline.

Bai Zhixi smiled as he walked over, holding onto one of the black clothed men's lower jaw, although he was smiling all the way, his gaze was bottomless, there was even a chill in his eyes.

"They actually dared to assassinate the princess. They really don't want to live anymore." "Men, escort him to the prison and await his punishment."

Prime Minister Qin looked at the dignified woman who had a smile on her face that was seemingly unable to be resisted, and was shocked in her heart.

No wonder the Emperor was so sure that she was a princess. No wonder she could stir up such a ruckus in the Eastern Prefecture.

"Wait a moment, could you tell me what this is?"

The imperial guards escorted the black clothed man away, but they did not expect Bai Zhixi's voice to suddenly sound out, interrupting their advance.
