Chapter 251 Jin Fa's Rescue
"Miss, I told you that Young Master Liu was interested in you, but you didn't believe me at the time!"
"Cailian, only you and I know about what happened today. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, especially Xuanyuan, understand?"
Xin Moyan repeatedly emphasized that she still remembered that when Xuan Yuan was still Yuan Huaixuan, it was because he was jealous of Fu Chen that Xuan Yuan forcibly kissed her in the carriage, and it was her first kiss...
"Miss, why are you blushing?"
"Uh... I, I'm fine, let's go!"
She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, grabbed Cailian's hand, and was about to head towards West Street when suddenly a hissing sound came from behind her...
They instinctively turned around and saw a man in black riding a horse towards them, his long knife flashing coldly.
"Cai...Cailian, run!"
Needless to say, they were there to assassinate her. She never expected that those people would be so brazen in broad daylight, even though she didn't know who they were.
Xin Moyan was also clever; she took Cailian and ran directly into the bustling city, which at least distracted the man in black.
"Wow~"
With a swing of his long sword, the man overturned all the stalls along the way, leaving behind a group of wailing vendors.
"Miss!"
Cailian cried out in surprise and fell to the ground instantly.
Xin Moyan hurriedly turned around and helped her up, her heart pounding wildly. Was she having a Mercury retrograde this month? Why did someone keep trying to kill her?
Seeing the horse about to charge at her, Cailian cried out in terror, "Miss, run!"
She shook her head. "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."
"Da da da~"
In the blink of an eye, the man in black rode up to them. With a "boom," he leaped off his horse, his long sword pointing directly at Xin Moyan, forcing the two of them into a corner.
"do not want!"
Cai Lian spread her arms and stood directly in front of Xin Mo Yan.
Her nose stung with tears, and she pulled Cailian away. "Cailian, you should leave now."
This person is targeting her. If she can stall for a little longer, Cailian should be able to escape.
The man in black didn't speak, but a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. He raised his knife and slashed straight forward, causing the two men to close their eyes in tension.
"Ugh~"
The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and the man's long sword fell to the ground.
Xin Moyan quickly opened her eyes and saw that the man in black had his back to them, and there seemed to be a man standing opposite him.
"Pfft~"
The man knelt on the ground, which was covered in blood, and just like that... he died.
"My Lady, are you okay?"
Xin Moyan came to her senses and saw that the man's clothes were glittering gold, and his face was elegant and handsome, with a vermilion dot between his eyebrows that made him look particularly charming.
"Crown Prince Jinfa? What are you doing here?"
"Hehe~ I came out today with my wife and daughter, intending to explore the local customs and culture of Yuanqi, but I ended up encountering this dangerous situation."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman walked gracefully out from behind Jin Fa, holding the hand of a teenage girl.
"Princess Danhua, are you alright?"
Bai Xinhan smiled. They had witnessed the perilous scene from the very beginning, and she was well aware of the Crown Prince's strength, so naturally she would not allow the princess to suffer any harm.
Before Xin Moyan could speak, Jin Cijue sweetly called out, "Auntie~"
"Little darling, this is Her Highness the Princess, not your aunt. You can't call her that!"
Jin Fa withdrew the fierce expression he had just displayed, lowered his head and stroked his daughter's head, his face full of fatherly tenderness.
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Your Highness and Your Highness." She gave the two of them a grateful look.
"This is not a suitable place for a detailed discussion. I wonder if the Princess has the time? May I invite the Princess to have a cup of tea?"
Jin Fa had a faint expression of goodwill on his face, but Xin Moyan couldn't tell whether it was genuine or feigned.
"Your Highness saved my life today. In truth, I should be the one treating you both to tea and a meal. There's a Yunxiang Restaurant not far ahead. If Your Highness and Crown Princess don't mind..."
"Hehe~ We don't mind."
Bai Xinhan was also dressed in a golden gown, but her hair ornaments were extremely simple, with only a rose-gilded phoenix hairpin holding up her dark hair. She had a beautiful face, light makeup, and a smile in her eyes. Her gentle and tender gaze showed that she and Jin Fa had a bit of a resemblance.
Because Jin Cijue kept calling Xin Moyan "Auntie," Jin Fa had no choice but to carry his daughter and walk beside Bai Xinhan, while Xin Moyan walked on the other side of Bai Xinhan, keeping the two at a distance.
Xin Moyan was extremely confused. Although she was very grateful to the Crown Prince Jinfa for saving her, the couple had been treating her kindly from the very beginning. Why was that? She couldn't see any hostility from them, and the young princess even kept calling her "aunt"...
Along the way, Xin Moyan chatted politely with Bai Xinhan while being completely puzzled. As soon as she entered Yunxiang Tower, she sent someone to the General's Mansion to deliver a message.
They chose a window seat on the second floor, where they wouldn't be disturbed by passing guests and could enjoy the view below.
“Princess, we only had a brief meeting at the banquet that day. Xinhan and I have always said that we want to see you again, but we have never had the chance.”
Xin Moyan was somewhat confused. "Why does His Highness the Crown Prince want to see me?"
Jin Cijue held up a small sugar figurine in front of Xin Moyan and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, have some~"
She was completely charmed by the little girl in front of her and coaxed her softly, "Thank you, little princess, but I won't eat it. You can eat it yourself!"
Xin Moyan's eyes sparkled; daughters are so cute! If only she and Xuan Yuan could have a daughter someday…
wrong!
Why did you think of this?
Her face flushed red at a visible speed, leaving the couple bewildered.
"Princess, I'm sorry, my daughter is young and doesn't know the proper etiquette."
"It's alright, it's alright! I like the little princess very much too."
As she spoke, she bent down and gently pinched Jin Cijue's little cheek.
"Little princess, you're so cute! You're a princess, and so am I. What a coincidence!"
"Auntie~Auntie~"
"Hehehe~"
Seeing Xin Moyan's winking and making faces, the two of them chuckled at the same time.
“Princess, I wonder who was chasing you just now? How dare they do such a vicious thing in broad daylight?”
She shook her head, feeling frustrated, and said, "I don't know either. There are always people trying to get back at me, but I don't know who they are."
"Then the princess must be extra careful when going out in the future."
Bai Xinhan's tone was extremely concerned, which puzzled her somewhat.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Um, why have you and Crown Prince Jinfa treated me so kindly?"
The two were taken aback when they heard this, then smiled gently at her.
Jin Fa gently rubbed his daughter's head and explained in a soft voice, "Your Highness, you don't know, but I have a younger sister who is my daughter's aunt. She was very close to my husband and me since childhood and loved our daughter very much. Unfortunately, she passed away from an illness last year. Our daughter has been thinking about her aunt all the time. Recently, she came to court and saw Your Highness's beauty. Our daughter mistook Your Highness for her aunt."
"I see."
