Chapter 149: Chapter 139: My Sister Finally Remembers Me

Shen Jingxian did not have the Hidden Guards deliberately hide her body’s peculiarity, nor did she silence the commoners who were aware of it.

After the commoners returned to their own regions, they could talk about the Princess’s matters to whomever they liked. Whether they hoped the Princess would recover soon or thought of her as a demon was anyone’s guess.

After all, people are diverse.

Prince Xingyang Fu Xuan also came to know that there are two personalities in the Princess’s body now. The kinder one is the original Princess, who wouldn’t curse casually and treats people with great kindness, though her eyes always appear very lazy, seemingly containing everything but actually nothing.

The other one seems fiercer, not putting anyone in her eyes, yet honest—if she wants to curse, she curses; if she wants to hit, she hits. She’s not someone to mess with easily, but is she quite endearing?

Yet Fu Xuan found that he seemed to be the only one who found the domineering Princess adorable.

There was some commotion not far away; Fu Xuan guessed it must be the demon Princess coming out again.

He had great freedom in the entourage. That day, the Princess talked to him, acknowledged his good intentions, and explained her current difficulties, saying she was unable to host him properly and letting him be at ease within the group, leave whenever he wished.

But Fu Xuan was just a playboy whose favorite pastime was admiring beauties. Now the most beautiful beauty was right before his eyes, where could he possibly go? He would stay here, watching the beauty every day!

Even if the beauty sometimes went mad, a beauty is a beauty; the same face showing such drastically different expressions—it was a sight worth seeing!

Feeling cheerful, Fu Xuan walked in the Princess’s direction, ready to see what mischief the demon Princess had been up to today.

He still remembered the first day he arrived, the demon Princess slapped a beauty, and then got knocked out by the Hidden Guard.

The second day, she shouted about beheading everyone daring to defy her, the vicious glint in her eyes letting Fu Xuan know she meant it. But before she could act on her words, she was knocked out again.

The third day, the demon Princess started self-harming to threaten them into letting her return north, and the result was she got knocked out again.

The fourth day, the demon Princess seemed to have learned her lesson; she neither yelled nor showed a domineering attitude. Calmly, she grabbed a horse and tried to flee, only to be caught again.

Fu Xuan thought this demon was really quite pitiful.

Let’s see what’s going on today.

Fu Xuan trotted his pony over to the usual spot, took out some sunflower seeds, and chatted with a nearby Hidden Guard, “Brother Four, what’s happening today?”

Dark Five glanced at the extended sunflower seeds and modestly took only one, “The Princess is trying to throw Miss Xin Le out of the carriage.”

“Miss Xin Le, is that the younger sister in the carriage with the Princess?”

Perhaps Fu Xuan’s tone was too frivolous, for Dark Five glanced over with some discontent.

Fu Xuan quickly explained, “I didn’t mean anything by it, just asking.”

After speaking, Fu Xuan felt a bit frustrated; he’s a Commandery Prince! Why was he behaving so timidly!

“Miss Xin Le is someone the Princess cherishes dearly,” Dark Five commented, looking in the direction of the carriage.

The meaning of these words was that they didn’t regard the current Princess as the real Princess.

Fu Xuan popped another sunflower seed into his mouth, watching as the Princess held a dagger at her neck threateningly, shaking his head.

This probably isn’t the demon, for if it were, it wouldn’t be so incompetent.

“Brother Five, are you sure something dirty got into the Princess’s body, and it’s not witchcraft?”

Witchcraft is unique to the Miaojiang people; though the little bugs may seem insignificant, they can accomplish a great many things.

Fu Xuan was just reminding out of goodwill; he knew how formidable those little bugs could be. Dongwu Country had people from Miaojiang; who knows if the Princess fell victim to something.

Dark Five was about to answer when the Princess inside the carriage heard their conversation and asked, “Is there a Miaojiang person outside?”

It had been several days since Fu Xuan had a chance to speak with the Princess. Even if it was now the demon-Princess being talked about, he eagerly approached, “Princess, there are no Miaojiang people, but I do know something about them. If you would like to hear, I can tell you.”

After a long silence, a voice came through, “What’s your name?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow. He clearly introduced himself that day he met the Princess, yet now she seemed completely unfamiliar, which he found very intriguing.

“I am Fu Xuan, Prince Xingyang.”
