Wen Yuan is now the center of conversation in the capital, and she is being discussed in street shops.
What happened that day after she was lured to the palace by the emperor's trap is now divided into several stories by the storytellers.
"So Princess Xianyang is really a demon?"
"The rumors from the palace are still false! I heard that a group of demon hunters in front of the imperial family didn't capture her at that time. You can imagine how skilled she is."
Several people were chatting here, but they hadn't noticed the master and servant standing behind them.
Wen Yuan stood behind the two of them. The woman kept talking, and no one around reminded her, "In addition, at that time, our emperor's protective golden dragon and Wen Yuan's demonic dragon fought hard, and in the end it was the Holy Emperor's protective body. The golden dragon is even more powerful. After conquering the demonic dragon, we still don’t know why Wen Yuan was let go.”
"But I still think that the emperor did not touch her just for the sake of King Dingnan, otherwise she would have been reviled long ago because of her domineering temperament."
What she said was true. The emperor had indeed rewarded Wen Yuan with so many gold and silver jewels for the sake of King Dingnan. It was also because of King Dingnan's military industry that he made an exception and made Wen Yuan a princess.
But more of it was to check and balance King Dingnan, "Where did you hear these stories? They are quite exciting, why don't you tell them to me again?"
Wen Yuan's sudden voice frightened the woman, and she quickly knelt down in front of Wen Yuan, "Princess Xianyang... I didn't mean that... I..."
But Wen Yuan helped the person up from the ground with a kind face, "Why are you shaking like this? Can I still eat you? I just want to hear your story. Tell me."
Chunhua took out her handkerchief and wiped the wooden stool clean, "Sit down, princess."
"Say it."
Under Wen Yuan's pressure, the woman could only tell the story she heard again, "That's it... Princess, you went to force the emperor to hand over the jade seal, but you were trapped in the magic circle by the demon hunter serving in front of the emperor. Here, at this moment the emperor’s protective golden dragon suddenly appeared, and princess your black dragon protector Xinjie also appeared.”
"The two dragons were locked in a stalemate, and the emperor's protective golden dragon ended up victorious. There are many different opinions among the people... They are all speculating on why you were able to escape unscathed."
Wen Yuan looked at the woman like a small animal, "Where did you hear all this?"
"I...someone in my family works in the imperial kitchen. From what I heard..."
So that's it... Wen Yuan thought about it carefully, and realized that such a departure from the original story could only have come from the palace. It seemed that the emperor had done it intentionally...
Wen Yuan smiled playfully and seemed not to take this matter to heart, but he belittled the emperor in his words, "You are really just a story. At that time, the emperor's golden dragon was so frightened that he came back from nowhere." Where did it go, and... do you really think that your emperor is innocent? For his own benefit, there is nothing he can give up. "
After saying that, Wen Yuan left with Chun Hua, and her words successfully caused several people present to fall into deep thought. They were all wondering what Wen Yuan meant by this... Could it be that the emperor had something to do with the demon clan?
The next day, a group of young ladies from aristocratic families came to the princess's mansion with their own demon hunters, which was really troublesome.
A group of people sprinkled water on the door of the princess's mansion, saying it could drive away evil spirits. This was obviously embarrassing for Wen Yuan.
The first one to go out and stop was Chunhua, "What are you doing?! This is the princess's mansion, there is no room for excess!"
"You still think that your young lady is the beloved princess of the Holy One? She is just a monster. I specially brought a monster hunter here to see if I can clean up all the monsters in this princess's house!"
Then Xuan Yuan came out. The man's inherent sense of oppression made several paper tigers afraid, "What are you doing? This is a place where you can run wild? Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The woman dragged out the monster catcher next to her and blocked her in front of her, "What are you doing? Let me tell you, the people we brought this time are all famous monster catchers from the Dragon Kingdom, just to catch the monster Wen Yuan. It’s been subdued!”
"Really? Then come and take me in. It just so happens that staying in the capital all day is boring."
The sudden appearance of Wen Yuan startled a few people, but the girl in the lead was very disdainful of the monster hunter she brought with her, "Before, she was clearly a waste with no spiritual roots, but now she has become the emperor's capital." You have nothing to do with the demon girl, did you... make some shady deal with some big demons of the demon clan?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Xuan Yuan grabbed her neck and threw her away, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you all, do you believe it?"
That group of people really didn't dare to offend the current Wen Yuan, so they quickly left with their own people, but the woman who was thrown out couldn't stand up for a long time.
If Chunhua hadn't helped her at Wen Yuan's signal, she would have been able to sit there paralyzed now.
"I always feel that things will not be that simple." Wen Yuan looked at the streets where people were coming and going, and found that there were many new faces here.
As soon as the news of King Dingnan's resignation was released, many hostile countries that had been eyeing the Dragon Kingdom began to make moves.
It didn't take long for Wen Yuan to get news about Keqi's troops stationed there, "What's the attitude over there now?"
"It's not clear yet...but it feels like it's coming soon. Keqi has even united with the leaders of many surrounding small tribes. It seems that he will conquer the border of Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop."
Quan's men often travel around various countries and naturally understand their movements. Wen Yuan never doubted it, "In this case, let's tell the old emperor the news and see how he will deal with this without King Dingnan." There’s a crisis.”
How else could the emperor deal with it? He himself knew that without King Dingnan, the God of War, the Dragon Kingdom would be coveted by those small border countries.
But small countries also have tricks, which he, as the emperor, cannot ignore.
"It's not like the Dragon Kingdom has no one to lead the troops in the war without King Dingnan. So, let's first send people to Keqi to find out their details before making a decision."
Wen Yuan did not intend to interfere in human affairs. Recently, she heard that something was wrong in the demon realm deep in the Demonic Abyss. She had to go back and take a look.
As soon as she arrived at Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss, Wen Yuan saw Shen Huaiyan who had been waiting for her to go back. She instantly forgot about the incident in Demonic Realm.
"What are you doing sitting here alone?"
After saying this, Wen Yuan was surprised to realize that it seemed like he had said this to himself before, but Shen Huai's words at that time were very gentle, not at all like his harsh self now.
"Wait for you."
"Wait for me?" Wen Yuan chuckled, "What are you waiting for me for?"
Shen Huaiyan stood up, pulled Wen Yuan over and sat down, "I'm just waiting for you, why don't you take me back to the Dragon Kingdom with you."
He didn't have the ability to tear apart space, so he could only watch Quan and the others go to the capital with Wen Yuan.
A pair of soft and thick hands squeezed Wen Yuan's shoulders, and Wen Yuan narrowed her eyes comfortably.
She heard the sourness in Shen Huai's words, and stretched out her hand to cover the big hand on her shoulder, "Then next time I go, just follow me."
The maid on the side couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, and Shen Huaiyan heard it, "What are you laughing at?"
The maid knew that Shen Huaiyan was not as hot-tempered as Wen Yuan, so she joked with him, "Master Chengen is so lucky to be favored by the commander-in-chief."
Seeing Shen Huaiyan's puzzled expression, she quickly explained: "Before those male demons left, one day I happened to see the commander-in-chief reading a book in the garden. The male demon covered the commander-in-chief's eyes with his hands from behind. The commander ordered his arm to be chopped off on the spot..."
"So, Mr. Cheng'en, you are so lucky. The Commander-in-Chief only lets you get close to him. And with you by his side, the Commander-in-Chief smiles a lot more, unlike his usual cold..."
After saying this, she immediately regretted it. She just said what she said before. Why did she say what was in her heart?
Seeing Wen Yuan's increasingly cold expression, the maid thought that she must be finished this time. Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan did not make things difficult for her, "Okay, let's go down."
She was also curious if she really smiled more when she was with Shen Huaiyan.
"I think you have changed a lot, Ayuan..." As far as these days are concerned, Wen Yuan has indeed changed.
"for example?"
For example... Shen Huaiyan thought for a while, "For example, you used to look strong, but in fact you were very timid at heart, probably because you had no spiritual roots. But now you are completely different, decisive and resolute... very domineering."
Wen Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard what he said. At that moment, a breeze blew through and messed up Wen Yuan's hair. Shen Huaiyan tidied her temples just like before.
The atmosphere between the two heated up. Seeing that Shen Huaiyan was about to kiss, Falcon barged in at an inappropriate time, "Princess..."
Seeing the two of them, he also knew that he had come at the wrong time, so he quickly turned his back.
Wen Yuan rolled his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
But at this time, she was still sitting on Shen Huaiyan's lap, moving around, but it was a pain for this strong-blooded man.
"The emperor has gone to the palace..."
At this time, the emperor went to the palace, probably because of the Keqi issue. Wen Yuan frowned and said nothing for a long time, and Shen Huaiyan simply waved his hand to signal Falcon to retreat.
After seeing the man leave, he simply picked up Wen Yuan in his arms and said, "What are you doing?! I have something to think about, put me down quickly!"
At this moment, she is as charming and bright as before.
"It's not too late to think about it later. Now let's think carefully about the fact that you just sat on me and moved around."
But for Wen Yuan, Shen Huaiyan was as high-spirited as he was back then.
The two gradually regained their former selves. Wen Yuan buried her head in Shen Huaiyan's chest and said nothing.
…
"I can always be alone for a while now, right?"
"No." Shen Huaiyan insisted on sticking to Wen Yuan no matter what. "This matter is not difficult to handle. Why don't you just go to Shanlu Khan of Keqi? Have you forgotten what he promised you? ? And that woman..."
Yes, there is also the woman he placed in Keqi. Her affairs were not handled well and she betrayed her trust... but she needs to have a good talk with them.
But Wen Yuan still had to go back to see what happened. The emperor actually went to the Dingnan Palace in person.
Shen Huaiyan grabbed Wen Yuan's clothes from behind, "We agreed to take me back with you."
