Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 192 - 156: I’ll Say It Myself

Shen Jingxian ultimately could not attend the poetry event.

For her, it didn’t really matter, but she later heard that the people at the event were quite regretful because the Princess didn’t go, so they agreed to have another one in a month.

To this, Shen Jingxian’s comment was, "People with too much free time."

On the way back, Shen Jingxian suddenly remembered something—once, when she woke up, she seemed to see something strange at Song Yan’s house. She wanted to say something at the time, but given the unusual circumstances, and not knowing how long she could control her body, she prioritized handling more urgent matters.

What was that strange thing again?

Gasping... clothes disheveled... Li... Li Yan!!

Oh, Li Yan!

Shen Jingxian suddenly recalled Song Yan’s explanation for confining Li Yan, and her suspicions grew increasingly absurd.

Li Yan did indeed flee due to a misunderstanding, as in the original story, but Song Yan didn’t rescue him and care for him as in the story, but rather...

Imprisoned him for a full six years.

Goodness, Shen Jingxian didn’t know whether to lament the changed storyline or sympathize with Li Yan for his undeserved misfortune.

If someone else had unjustly imprisoned an innocent person for six years, Shen Jingxian would certainly criticize the person immediately, but...

Now, this person is Song Yan.

It’s Song Yan.

"What’s wrong, Princess? Feeling unwell?"

Song Yan dashed with Shen Jingxian in her arms, faster than a carriage, clearly using the legendary Qinggong, and they were almost at the Imperial Palace in no time.

Shen Jingxian looked up at Song Yan, meeting her gaze by chance, and noticed Song Yan’s eyes, which had changed from resentment to... to...

The gaze was quite peculiar, and Shen Jingxian struggled to describe it.

Perhaps deeply affectionate? A sisterly bond, right!

"No discomfort, just thinking of Li Yan."

Upon hearing Shen Jingxian mention Li Yan, Song Yan’s expression became somewhat strange, "Why did the Princess suddenly mention him?"

"Sister Song Yan, the person who attempted to assassinate me at the birthday banquet wasn’t Li Yan’s people."

Song Yan, hearing this, didn’t change her hold on Shen Jingxian, only calmly asked, "Then who harmed the Princess?"

For some reason, Shen Jingxian sensed a hint of murderous intent in Song Yan’s words.

Shen Jingxian thought for a moment, Mu Yuan had already returned to his country, so telling Song Yan shouldn’t be an issue, surely Song Yan wouldn’t run to Dongwu Country to capture Mu Yuan?

Recently, Mu Yuan was doing quite well in Dongwu, contributing quite a bit of pocket money to her.

And so, Shen Jingxian honestly said, "It was Mu Yuan."

"Mu Yuan? That improper man?"

Shen Jingxian considered Mu Yuan’s usual demeanor, indeed not very proper, but oddly enough, Lord Song still remembered Mu Yuan, strange.

Shen Jingxian didn’t know that Song Yan would forget everything but never forget a man who intended to "seduce" the Princess.

"It’s that Mu Yuan." Shen Jingxian muttered quietly. For unknown reasons, she suddenly felt a bit guilty, "But he didn’t do it on purpose. He initially aimed to assassinate Li Yan, but somehow it turned into an assassination against me. Actually... it might be related to the previous strange occurrences with my body."

Shen Jingxian was certain the plot was the culprit, but she didn’t know how to explain it to Song Yan, only subtly hinted to prevent Lord Song from rushing to Dongwu to capture someone.

Shen Jingxian realized, Song Yan, adept both in martial and scholarly skills, was quite formidable; no, Song Yan also knew medicine and was wealthy.

Song Yan equals a pillar of support!

Shen Jingxian clung tightly to Song Yan’s waist and even nestled against her, Song Yan radiating the aura of robust support, "Sister Song Yan, if I’m ever on the brink of death, will you help me?"

Song Yan’s body initially stiffened from Shen Jingxian’s actions, but upon hearing such a dangerous question, she instantly snapped awake.

Tightening her hold on Shen Jingxian, Song Yan promised, "Song Yan will surely protect the Princess."

Gained the female lead’s promise x1.

Shen Jingxian felt the survival odds of Yunyi Country greatly improved, hooray.

"Yes, Sister Song Yan, I believe in you!"

Shen Jingxian was delighted and didn’t see Song Yan’s face flush slightly as she averted her gaze.

Song Yan didn’t enter the palace but watched Shen Jingxian leave until her figure completely disappeared before departing.

On the way back, she unsurprisingly ran into Fu Xuan.

Song Yan did not wish to engage with this man, intending to bypass him, but was blocked by Fu Xuan.

Song Yan’s face turned cold as she looked at Fu Xuan, "What do you want?"

Fu Xuan, though pretending to be composed, clearly showed signs of nervousness, completely different from his previous confident demeanor, "What did you tell the Princess?"

Song Yan understood Fu Xuan’s implications immediately; she revealed a mocking smile, seemingly penetrating Fu Xuan’s thoughts, "I originally wasn’t sure, but now I’m certain—you deliberately didn’t evade, causing the Princess harm."

Fu Xuan did not deny, just looked at Song Yan, "You... told the Princess?"

Song Yan let out a cold laugh, "No comment."

Song Yan pretended to turn away, unexpectedly finding Fu Xuan didn’t stop her.

Song Yan initially believed Fu Xuan stopped her to silence her, but now it seemed otherwise?

Song Yan didn’t speak further, quietly observing Fu Xuan for a moment, eventually deciding talking to him was a waste of time, and turned to leave.

As she departed, she heard a voice from behind, "I will speak to the Princess myself."

Song Yan paused, then continued forward.

Whether this person spoke or not was none of her concern; after all, she would never allow ill-intentioned people to approach the Princess.

...

After returning to the palace, Shen Jingxian first changed her clothes, looked in the mirror, discovered her complexion a bit pale, applied some rouge, looked slightly better, then headed toward the Imperial Study Room.

The Emperor was in the Imperial Study Room, perfect for bringing up complaints.

Shen Jingxian walked to the study, passed through like always without hindrance.

She flung open the door, shouted, "Dad, did you receive the gift I sent you!"

As soon as the words were out, a figure flew over from afar, and Shen Jingxian heard a voice, "Yi Fen ah～～"

Then she was enveloped in a strong embrace.

Shen Jingxian exerted considerable effort just to barely make a sound, "Dad, you’re hugging me a bit too tight... "

As soon as she spoke, the Emperor received a reprimand, "Our daughter is saying it hurts, and you’re not letting go! No moderation at all!"

Only then did Shen Jingxian realize the Empress was present too.

"Father, Mother, do you already know?"

The Empress sympathetically ruffled Shen Jingxian’s head, "Don’t worry, Mother will handle it."

Hearing this, Shen Jingxian happily took out the gifts she brought them, only to find upon opening the lid that the gifts had been water-damaged and were soaked through.

Shen Jingxian’s expression instantly froze.
