Chapter 2023 - 2025: Flirting with Me and Still Trying to Escape?

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2025: Flirting with Me and Still Trying to Escape?

The guard of You Xueling is named Ye Xuan, and he is currently standing before the Fourth Prince to accept his punishment.

"Subordinate has failed in his duties, please punish me, Master!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Xuan knelt down on one knee, awaiting his punishment.

The Fourth Prince, dressed in a purple silk robe and a gold belt at his waist, with purple trousers tucked into brocade boots, appeared luxurious yet not ostentatious; his aura of imperial majesty was unmatched.

He sat there listening to Ye Xuan’s report, a mysterious smile playing at the corner of his lips, his slender fingers rubbing the rim of the teacup.

This situation made Ye Xuan’s heart tremble; the Master was indeed angry.

He immediately repeated, "Subordinate accepts punishment!"

Cool lips finally parted, "You indeed deserve punishment, go back and retrain. Return when you’ve improved."

This statement made Ye Xuan shiver, but he dared not complain, it was true that he had failed in his duties.

He uttered, "Subordinate obeys."

Then he retreated.

The Fourth Prince sat there, his right hand occasionally twisting the jade thumb ring on his left thumb.

How many has it been now?

Almost a year, all the guards, maidservants, and old women planted around her have fallen at her hands.

Her tricks are indeed numerous. This time, she publicly claimed Ye Xuan had a penchant for dragon males; what else might she do?

If she were allowed out, she would inevitably cause trouble and be discovered by those with ulterior motives, hence he kept her close all along.

Having struggled with him for a year, still planning to escape—she is quite remarkable.

A corner of his mouth inadvertently lifts, the Prime Minister Sima’s daughter is indeed interesting, but truly worrisome.

Two hours later, Ye Huan, the Hidden Guard following You Xueling, returned.

The Fourth Prince looked down, took a sip of tea, exuding confidence, and asked, "Was the person captured?"

"Reporting to Master, no!" replied Ye Huan.

This statement caused the Fourth Prince’s hand to pause, freed from Ye Xuan?

But then he soon realized that couldn’t be right; after a year without freeing herself from Ye Xuan, she wouldn’t now.

He thus asked, "What happened?"

"Reporting to Master, the young lady returned to the inn with Yang Ming and his group. Subordinate intended to capture her while she slept, yet discovered earlier that the young lady knows Yang Ming’s wife, and they’ve confided many shocking secrets. So, subordinate decided to report first."

Such words left the Fourth Prince somewhat puzzled; since then, he had investigated Yang Ming, naturally extending to his family. Yang Ming’s wife was just a country woman; how could she know the noble Concubine Ling?

"Quickly, tell me everything."

"Yes, Master, it’s like this..."

Listening to Ye Huan’s report, the initially calm face of the Fourth Prince now bore traces of alarm.

Transmigration? Soul exchange?

She isn’t Simaling but called You Xueling!

Though these events were inconceivable, they explained his internal doubts.

Rumor has it that Prime Minister Sima’s daughter, Simaling, is gentle and lovely. He had interacted with her before, and she exhibited the qualities of a great family.

But the current one, bold and quirky, is indeed quite different from Simaling.

His shocked heart seemed to calm down, "Continue your role as Hidden Guard, take action when necessary to bring her back."

"Also, you know the consequences of leaking this matter!"

How could Ye Huan not know? He immediately accepted orders and left.

Leaving the Fourth Prince alone in the room.

You Xueling, trying to flirt with me and then run?

Claiming I’m not capable, I’ll let you see whether I am or not!
