The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Chapter 9: Encounter in the Capital

They continued to go shopping in the capital, buying the books and daily necessities they needed. Li Yuan looked back at the cavalryman in the corner from time to time, silently praying for him in her heart. She knew that there were too many injustices and sufferings in this world, but she also believed that as long as there was love and hope in her heart, she could overcome all difficulties and challenges.

As night fell, the capital was shrouded in a mysterious night. Li Yuan returned to her room and was about to rest when she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside. She was puzzled and walked gently to the window and looked out through the gap in the curtains.

In the night, a figure was seen sneaking around the courtyard. The figure was thin and cunning, and it was Xuan Youyan's servant. He looked around and made sure no one was paying attention. Then he quietly walked to a door and knocked gently.

The door creaked open, and Hyun Woo-ryeon appeared at the door. He was wearing a dark brocade robe, and his face was handsome, but his eyes flashed with an indescribable sinisterness. He looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he pulled the servant into the room.

Li Yuan was full of doubts. She didn't know what Xuan Youyan and his servant were planning. But she knew that this matter must be related to their identity and status. She decided to observe secretly to see what they were up to.

So she gently opened the door and quietly followed them. She walked along the path in the courtyard, trying not to make any noise. In the night, her figure shuttled through the courtyard like a ghost.

Finally, she came to the window of Hyun Woo-ryeon's room. She squatted down gently and looked inside through the window. She saw a dim light burning in the room, and Hyun Woo-ryeon and his servant were sitting at the table talking in low voices.

"How are things going?" Hyun Woo-ryeon's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Sir, everything is going according to plan." The servant's voice was trembling, as if he was a little afraid of Xuan Youlian's majesty, "It's just...it's just that Li Jimian doesn't seem to be easy to deal with."

"Humph!" Xuan Youlan snorted coldly, "Of course he is not easy to deal with, otherwise we wouldn't have to spend so much effort. But don't worry, I have my own way to deal with him. You just need to follow my plan."

"Yes, yes, sir." The servant nodded quickly and agreed, "It's just...it's just that Li Yuan seems to have noticed our plan."

"Li Yuan?" Xuan Youlan frowned slightly, "How could she have known our plan? Are you sure you didn't reveal any flaws?"

"Sir, I'm sure there are no flaws." The servant explained quickly, "It's just that Li Yuan doesn't seem to be a simple person. She often secretly observes our actions, which makes me a little worried."

"Humph!" Xuan Youlian snorted again, "This Li Yuan is indeed a bit unusual. But you don't have to worry. She is just a woman after all. What kind of trouble can she cause? You just need to continue to act according to my plan. Don't worry about the rest."

Li Yuan listened to their conversation outside the window, and she felt an indescribable anger and uneasiness in her heart. She didn't expect Hyun Woo-ryeon to be so insidious and cunning, and to use such despicable means to achieve his goals. And she herself was also listed as one of their targets, which made her even more angry and unwilling.

The days in the capital were like a slowly unfolding painting, with each stroke containing deep meaning. In this land of prosperity and power, Li Jimian and others quietly waited for the moment to meet the emperor. Li Yuan, on the other hand, used this seemingly peaceful time to teach Li Wenzhi how to read and write. Her voice was gentle and firm, like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, illuminating Li Wenzhi's heart of seeking knowledge.

"Wenzhi, remember, a person's handwriting reflects his character. You need to pay attention to every stroke." Li Yuan held the brush and gently sketched on the rice paper. The handwriting was like flowing clouds and running water, revealing an extraordinary aura.

Li Wenzhi opened his eyes wide and carefully imitated every move of Li Yuan. Although his little hands were still a little clumsy, his concentration and persistence made people feel pity for him.

However, under this seemingly calm appearance, the undercurrent of the capital is quietly surging. One day, when Li Yuan was walking alone on the bustling streets, her eyes suddenly froze on a figure in front of her - Shan Dongshu, Cheng Yuanshui's counselor, an unfathomable man.

Li Yuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the memories of her past life came flooding back. She clearly remembered that this Shan Dongshu had been Cheng Yuanshui's most capable assistant, who had planned many conspiracies with vicious means. She couldn't imagine that if her identity was discovered by this old fox, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, she quickly lowered her head and turned to leave, but her steps seemed so flustered at this moment. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she bumped into Xuan Youyan who was walking towards her. Xuan Youyan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, followed by deep inquiry.

"Li Yuan, where are you going in such a hurry?" Xuan Youlian's voice was low and magnetic, but it concealed an indescribable majesty.
