Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 154 - 140: No Pig Talk Allowed

"Your Highness, it has been urgently delivered."

"Hmm, we must return to the Capital quickly. Let’s ensure nothing else happens in the meantime. If she emerges again, control her if possible, and if not, pacify her."

Dark One was a bit troubled. Every time she showed up, chaos ensued, disregarding others completely. How could she possibly listen to reason?

"Your Highness, if she uses your body as leverage..."

"Find Fu Xuan, he will know what to do."

Shen Jingxian had a hunch, though she wasn’t sure why, but she believed Princess Yuan would heed Fu Xuan’s words.

Just before arriving at the Capital, the Princess acted up again, this time threatening to end her life, leaving everyone helpless.

The Princess realized that what they feared most was her harming herself, so she acted recklessly.

Whenever someone approached, she would use a hairpin to cut her skin, keeping everyone on edge.

Although they had already confiscated everything dangerous from her, they hadn’t expected she would hide a hairpin.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Dark One recalled Shen Jingxian’s words to him and quickly sought out Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan, unlike his previous enthusiastic demeanor towards the Princess, showed some hesitance when asked by Dark One to soothe the Princess. "It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the Princess has become quite dangerous. What if the Demon within her harms me?"

Dark One seemed to anticipate his reluctance and reiterated the script taught by Shen Jingxian, "The Princess said if the Commandery Prince could assist her, she would treat him to sweets upon returning to the Capital."

Fu Xuan paused, a complicated expression crossing his face. Dark One couldn’t comprehend, but felt the Commandery Prince seemed quite sorrowful at that moment.

Fortunately, the feeling didn’t last long. Soon, Fu Xuan regained his lighthearted demeanor, shaking the Folding Fan in his hand. "Since the Princess has said so, how could Fu Xuan refuse?"

Dark One eyed Fu Xuan skeptically, doubting whether the Commandery Prince, who seemed slightly off, could truly pacify the Demon within the Princess’s body.

This thought emerged, and Dark One immediately shook his head, no, no, he could not question the Princess’s decision.

Fu Xuan approached the Princess’s carriage and saw a scene similar to that day, his expression unchanged, "Your Highness."

The Princess turned upon hearing the voice, her demeanor relaxing slightly when seeing Fu Xuan, but immediately tensed again. "What are you doing here? Are you one of them?"

"I’m not. I’m just concerned for the Princess, so I came to take a look."

Hearing Fu Xuan express his concern for her, some of the resentment from being abandoned that day dissipated, but she still didn’t plan to show Fu Xuan kindness. "I didn’t see you worried about me that day."

Fu Xuan noticed the Princess’s tone had softened and displayed a difficult expression, "Your Highness, Fu Xuan is human, not a deity. If I had intervened that day, the Princess might have been hurt. Fu Xuan couldn’t bear to see the Princess injured."

With one sentence, he turned the conversation around, reframing his abandonment of the Princess as protection. If Shen Jingxian were here, she surely wouldn’t believe it and would likely give Fu Xuan a "what on earth are you saying" look. But now, with Princess Yuan in control of the body, she believed it.

Not only did she believe it, but she also felt a long-missed warmth.

This whole time, she had been under the watchful and disdainful eyes of those around her, her subordinates betraying her for unknown reasons. Only Fu Xuan extended any kindness towards her.

It’s said that adversity reveals true emotions; the Princess couldn’t help but be moved at this moment.

Fu Xuan seized the opportunity to say to the Princess, "If the Princess is willing, we can have a chat."

The Princess was clearly tempted, but upon seeing those surrounding her, she became wary again. "Make them leave."

Fu Xuan feigned negotiation, pulling Dark One aside, "When the Princess wakes up, remind her that I want not just sweets, but also sugar-roasted chestnuts."

Dark One maintained a serious expression, as if hearing something difficult to accept. He glanced at the Princess; she was watching him too, her eyes full of disdain and hatred.

"I will convey the message to her as is."

Fu Xuan chatted a bit more with Dark One, using the guise of calming the Demon to ask about the Princess’s daily interests. Dark One selectively answered some questions, and only then did Fu Xuan leave satisfied.

Returning to the Princess, Fu Xuan looked at the hairpin in her hand and her disheveled hair, smiling, "Doesn’t the Princess like this hairpin? Fu Xuan has a dignified hairpin from Elegant Hall. Would the Princess care to see if she likes it?"
