When Xiao Huayong was playing with the late Emperor in the back garden when he was young, he accidentally ate poisonous cherries hidden by others. Although he was rescued by the Taiyuan Hospital's full treatment, he suffered from chronic physical weakness. Everyone in the capital rumored that he was a frail and sick man.This time he and his attendant Tianyuan returned to the capital. They saw merchants in the streets and alleys decorated with lights and colorful decorations in preparation for Princess Zhaoning who was about to enter the capital. However, the overwhelming rumors confirmed that the princess and the always frail prince were definitely not destined to meet.At the same time, Lie Wang Xiao Changying woke up in the guest room of the princess mansion. Seeing that Shen Xihe did not come to visit immediately, he suspected that she was deliberately neglecting him and using hard-to-get tactics to manipulate people's hearts.

After Shen Xihe learned about it, he bluntly said that his culture, Taoism and military skills were not as good as those of the other princes. Xiao Changying was furious on the spot. It was not until he caught a glimpse of the shallow scar on her arm that she had been scratched by a knife blade when she saved her last night that she was filled with guilt and speechless.Shen Xihe relied on the memories left by Gu Qingzhi to become familiar with the intricate situation in the court and the temperaments and methods of the princes. She secretly determined not to repeat the mistakes of the Gu family in her previous life, and she would have to make her own decisions in the future for this life she had saved.At this time, Xiao Changqing, the King of Letters, learned that the important evidence recording the secrets of the princes - the Rouge Record - had fallen into the hands of Shen Xihe, and immediately sent his dead men to secretly sneak into the princess's mansion to regain the object.

At the same time, Prince Xiao Huayong also deployed people to seize the opportunity. Both of them wanted to use this leverage to overthrow other opponents competing for the throne and seize the opportunity in the battle for the heir apparent.A group of dead soldiers disguised as bandits ambushed Shen Xihe on his way to Beijing, and suddenly rushed out of the interception vehicle.Xiao Huayong, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, planned to immediately rescue him. Unexpectedly, Shen Xi and He had already known what was going to happen. They hid special poisonous smoke in the carriage in advance and released it when the bandits rushed up. When the bandits discovered that they had been tricked, they became confused and could only run away in embarrassment.

Xiao Huayong took the opportunity to pretend to be the embroidery envoy of the palace secret guard and rushed forward to kill all the dead soldiers. However, the unique cold plum fragrance on his body made Shen Xihe, who was hiding behind the car curtain, feel particularly familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.On the day Shen Xihe first entered the capital, he picked up a milk cat whose leg was injured by a stone at the entrance of an alley. He couldn't bear to take it back to his house and adopted it carefully.The gentle way she squatted under the eaves to bandage the kitten's wound happened to be seen from a distance by Xiao Huayong who was hiding at the street corner tea stall. This was completely different from her usual fierce and decisive appearance, which made him understand her a little more vividly, and the vague good impression in his heart gradually sank.

A few days later, Xiao Huayong, under the pseudonym Cui Jinbai, an official of Dali Temple, boarded the ship to investigate the case of the maid Linglong's betrayal of the master, and asked Shen Xihe for details.Although separated by a layer of gauze, the familiar cold plum fragrance on his body still made Shen Xihe recognize him at once. He was the person who pretended to be the embroiderer that day.She smiled and invited Cui Jinbai% into the cabin to talk. As soon as he stepped in, he noticed that he was smelling a faint scent, and he managed to get out with the last bit of strength. Instead of being angry afterwards, he became more and more attracted to Shen Xihe. He had never seen such a clever and neat woman, and many of her temperaments and styles were just in line with his wishes.

On the day when Shen Xihe officially entered the palace for the banquet, when he was walking to Zhuque Street, the horse of the third son of the Jining Marquis was suddenly frightened. Fortunately, Shen tide and the guards around him stepped forward in time to subdue the frightened horse.Unexpectedly, this Third Young Master, who has always used his power to bully others, saw that Shen Xihe's carriage refused to give way, and immediately stepped forward to teach him a lesson arrogantly.Shen Xihe slowly opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, directly pulled out the riding crop from his waist, and whipped the dandy who didn't understand etiquette back again and again in a few strokes.

After hearing the news, Jing Zhaoyin rushed over and recognized the identity of Princess Zhaoning at a glance, and quickly stepped forward to intercede for the third son of the Hou Mansion.Shen Xihe had already noticed that someone had secretly tampered with the horse. Apparently someone wanted to give her a showdown before she entered the palace, so she immediately ordered someone to bring a basin of water. The poisoner who had just touched the horse stretched out his hand, and the powder in his palm revealed itself when it touched the water. It turned out to be the second young master of the Hou family.At first, he only dared to admit that he was jealous that his third brother was favored by his father, so he wanted to take the opportunity to frame him. However, under Shen Xihe's close gaze, he finally confessed that he was ordered by the prince Xiao Jing, just to make his aunt who was a concubine in the palace feel bad.
