Doing so would not only give Yu Mo a reason to wear the mask, but also prepare for the future attack on Xiyong.

"I understand." Since the master has made up his mind, Qing Feng said no more.

"By the way, Your Highness, do you need to contact His Royal Highness Prince Ming and ask him to lend a hand?"

Xiyong is a long way to go, so someone must pick you up when you go there.

"Okay." Xiao Zhan agreed. This time he could just repay Feng Yi for his previous favor.

When Jiang Xue opened her eyes again, it was late at night. She was lying on a cold wooden board, her hands tied behind her back and her feet chained.

What is this place?

It was dark all around, the room was cold and damp, and the windows were sealed tightly. I wonder how the child is doing now...

She was so weak that she could barely move, but she decided to conserve her strength for a later escape.

Thinking of the child she pushed into the river, my heart ached.

The water was flowing so fast, would the child catch a cold or get scared? Would the child be safe without her protection?

She planted a love poison in the child, and the fate of the two was closely linked. If anything happened to one of them, the other would not be able to survive.

She was fine, and the child should be fine too, which was the only consolation. Jiang Xue was filled with guilt for sending her newborn daughter away before she even had a name.

"Mo Li...Mo Li..." She looked at the ceiling and called softly. The bitterness in her heart surged like a tide. Tears flowed down involuntarily, wetting her cheeks.

She named the child Xiao Moli, with the courtesy name Jingui. "Moli, mother will definitely find you and bring you home!" She made a silent vow.

"What's the situation?" Chu Feimo came to the door early to ask the guard. Having learned from the previous lesson, this time he kept a close watch on Jiang Xue like an important prisoner.

Not only were the doors and windows sealed from the inside, the outer layer was also reinforced with wooden boards, and the guards were replaced with warriors with high martial arts skills.

"Your Highness, everything is normal, there is nothing unusual." The guard replied respectfully.

"Very good." Chu Feimo nodded and gestured to open the door. When he entered the room, he thought he would see a listless woman, but he saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Princess Changle is so strong. She can remain so calm in such a situation." Chu Feimo took a few steps forward and said with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

"It's nothing more than a few more restraints. When we get to Xiyong, you can't keep me tied up like this. What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Xue didn't even open her eyes and continued to regulate her breathing.

With her hands bound, her body appeared more upright, and the curve of her breasts became more prominent.

Chu Feimo's gaze fell on her chest, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he sat down beside the bed.

While she was unable to resist, he gently played with a strand of her hair, occasionally touching it with his lips, a hint of warmth in his actions.

Jiang Xue suppressed her discomfort, slightly opened her eyes, and met his frivolous gaze: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you didn't come here just to see Changle's embarrassment, did you?"

"Of course not." Chu Feimo was in a good mood and didn't argue with her too much. He snapped his fingers, and then the maids brought in trays one by one. "These are all gifts for you."

He lifted the silk cloth on the tray, revealing the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown he had carefully prepared. The bright red color caused a sharp pain in Jiang Xue's eyes.

"What does this mean, Your Highness?" She pretended not to see the gifts and continued to close her eyes and regulate her breathing.

Chu Feimo was not angry when he saw that she ignored his feelings. After all, she would soon become his, and by then, he would have the final say over her every move.

"This is in accordance with our Xiyong custom, proposing marriage to Changle." He held a strand of black hair in his hand, which felt soft and made people feel fond of it.

Letting go of her long black hair, Chu Feimo gently moved his hands and untied the ropes that bound her arms.

Now that he had put away the flute and used up all the golden needles, in her current state, it would be difficult for her to even deal with a small soldier, let alone the strong guards outside the door.

Therefore, he untied her hands without hesitation, but did not loosen the chains on her feet. Considering her outstanding martial arts skills, she might have some clever tricks, so he decided to keep the chains until Xiyong.

"The Crown Prince's way of proposing marriage is something Changle cannot bear."

There was a hint of mockery in Jiang Xue's words. She moved her wrists which were numb from being tied up, and suddenly swung a palm towards Chu Feimo. Unfortunately, she missed and he easily grabbed her wrist instead.

"Are you in a hurry to get close to me?" Chu Feimo held her hand and kissed it gently. The unique coolness made his heart move.

There has never been a woman who could make him feel this way. No wonder Xiao Zhan cherishes her so much. She is truly a woman who can make people lose their souls!

"The prince's goal has been achieved. Changle is not feeling well and cannot stay any longer. Please go back." She pulled her hand back and wiped it repeatedly with a silk cloth, as if she was afraid that it would be stained with something dirty.

She didn't stop until her fingers were rubbed slightly red.

"No hurry, you haven't tried on the wedding dress yet, how do you know if it fits?"

Chu Feimo watched her wiping and felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. He signaled the maid beside him: "Go, help Princess Changle put on this new wedding dress."

The maids followed orders and stepped forward. Three of them surrounded her to ensure that she had no chance of escaping. Chu Feimo sat aside, staring at her without providing any cover.

"what!"

Before they got close, the first maid suddenly screamed and the back of her hand quickly turned black.

Then, the second and third maids suffered the same fate, their skin color quickly changed from white to black, spreading all over their bodies. Soon, the three maids fell to the ground, their bodies twitching constantly, and white foam came out of their mouths.

"Hey, I almost forgot, Changle, you are also an expert in using poison."

Chu Feimo looked at the maids struggling on the ground, with no sympathy on his face and only indifference in his eyes. To him, these maids were nothing but insignificant existences. "Come on, drag them away and deal with them."

He stood up, bent down to pick up the wedding dress on the ground, and then walked towards Jiang Xue, intending to help her put on this gorgeous dress herself. But Jiang Xue put her hand on his chest and looked up at him.

"Your Highness, if you don't want to be like them, you'd better let me go."

"Changle, we will arrive at Fengxiao City in a few hours. Do you want to appear in front of everyone like this?"

Chu Feimo glanced at the blood on her skirt and the chain on her ankle, with a hint of warning in his tone.

"Now people in Fengxiao City already know that I am going to marry Princess Qian. If you show up like this, people will inevitably think that I am not treating you well. I don't want to be criticized like this right after returning to Fengxiao."

"Your Highness, you are joking. How could Changle be so lucky as to become the Crown Princess? There is no marriage certificate or engagement letter. Even the King of Qian Kingdom doesn't know when he and Xiyong were destined to be together.
