Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 155 - 141: The Corner of My Mouth: Shoulder to Shoulder with the Sun

The Princess glanced at the hairpin in Fu Xuan’s hand.

The entirely silver piece was quite eye-catching, graceful and elegant yet not old-fashioned, especially with the small deer at the end bringing the entire hairpin to life.

Adorned with lace decorations around it, it was beautiful but not conventional, and the blue gem in the middle was the finishing touch, with tassels underneath further enhancing its beauty.

The Princess could even imagine how she would look, swaying with grace after putting on this hairpin; it would surely look good.

Yet she stubbornly said, "What a shabby hairpin, I don’t like it."

Fu Xuan, as if he didn’t hear, said to himself, "If the Princess were to accept this hairpin from Fu Xuan, not only could it hold up her hair, but it also could serve as protection."

Fu Xuan’s gaze fell lightly on the hairpin in the Princess’s hand, though it was feather-light, it made the Princess feel the hairpin in her hand weigh like a thousand pounds, making her somewhat at a loss, instinctively not wanting Fu Xuan to see this side of her.

The Princess lowered her head, seemingly making a tough decision.

Fu Xuan did not rush her, keeping the posture of handing over the hairpin, with a gentle smile on his face.

Until the Princess looked up again, Fu Xuan saw the answer in her eyes.

"Fu Xuan, can you protect me?"

The Princess asked suddenly, without any prior warning, but Fu Xuan answered fluently, "I have always been protecting the Princess."

The Princess blushed slightly watching Fu Xuan, and remembering what he said that day, she finally put down the hairpin in her hand.

The Princess did not notice the coldness hidden beneath Fu Xuan’s smile.

"What are you standing there for, give it to me."

The Princess suddenly demanded, but Fu Xuan, unfazed, handed over the hairpin.

The Princess took it, wanting to put up her hair, but found she didn’t know how, casting an uneasy glance at Fu Xuan.

Of course, Fu Xuan understood what the Princess meant, but he wouldn’t do a hair arrangement for anyone other than his sister, so he pretended to not understand, looking innocently at the Princess.

The Princess hinted for a while, but seeing Fu Xuan didn’t catch on, she felt too embarrassed to ask directly and had to give up.

Seeing the Princess didn’t put up her hair but kept the hairpin well, Fu Xuan said softly, "Princess, let’s return to the Capital together."

The Princess looked up, surprised at Fu Xuan, "What?"

"Fu Xuan knows the Princess wants to go north because Wen Ranchen is there, but Princess, where was he when you were in distress? Where was he when your subordinates betrayed you? Even if he knew your current situation, would he save you? He wouldn’t, he simply doesn’t care about you."

The Princess was hit where it hurts, her expression turning grim, "That’s not true! Ranchen promised not to leave me!"

"If he truly promised the Princess, why didn’t he return to the Capital with you?"

Yes, why ― the Princess was stunned, realizing she had no memory of that part.

She was pushed by Ranchen, and when she fell to the ground, she woke up already on a carriage.

Right! Ranchen must have been deceived by the vile subordinates around her!

"Ranchen just doesn’t know, he doesn’t know I left, it was these people who secretly took me, the Princess, away!"

Fu Xuan absolutely didn’t buy the Princess’s reasoning, "Princess, this is forty thousand elite soldiers, all on horseback, how could they leave without a sound? Wen Ranchen knows, he just doesn’t want to bother, for him, your life isn’t important at all."

Fu Xuan seemed on the surface to be jealous, disparaging Wen Ranchen to win the Princess, but he actually managed his words well.

With every sentence, he observed the Princess’s expression, adjusting his words if he went too far, holding back slightly, but if it was still within the Princess’s tolerance, he would continue to probe.

And now, Fu Xuan considered himself to have gone too far, but the Princess still showed high tolerance for his words, indicating she thought the same inside.

She was just stubborn in her disbelief.

How foolish, to make such a disgrace of her sister’s body for a man, if not for fear of hurting her sister’s body ...

Thinking this, Fu Xuan still unkindly said, "He knew it was dangerous, yet let you return to the Capital with the army, Princess, returning north now is falling into a trap, it would be better to let Fu Xuan escort you back to the Capital."

"Ranchen ... Ranchen must not know ... he will help me! He promised me, he said wherever I am, he will be there too!"

Far in the north, Wen Ranchen suddenly sneezed.

He was patrolling, and because he looked good, whenever he went on patrol, many love-struck young girls would follow.
