> Princess Agents Recap

Yuwen Yue asked Noble Consort Wei to investigate a woman with profound internal martial arts. The Noble Consort did not disappoint; she searched through all the imperial secret agents and indeed found someone for him—Luo He's daughter, the new master of the Fengyun Order, but she had already drowned in the Yellow River a year ago. Inside the room, incense smoke gently rose; it was utterly silent. Xiaoba knelt on the ground, terrified and uneasy.

Yuwen Yue sought her to understand Chu Qiao's background. Xiaoba hid nothing and told him Chu Qiao's situation in detail. Chu Qiao was not their blood sister born of the same mother; she was born to her father's concubine. After being brought home, she spoke little and had a reclusive personality. Her father once read her fortune, saying she was a lone star of ill omen and would bring disaster to those around her.

She stayed at home for over a year before leaving without saying goodbye. Not long after, the village was massacred. Later, the Jing family sisters were sold to the Yuwen family. After Chu Qiao arrived, the sisters all died tragically, which made Xiaoba even more convinced that Chu Qiao was destined to be a lone star of ill omen. In Yuwen Yue's view, this was precisely what a natural-born warrior possesses.

The bamboo forest was serene, and the grass was lush green. Yuwen Yue stood quietly there. Yuwen Huai brought up the matter of Madame Song, implying something. Yuwen Yue's expression was calm; he approached Yuwen Huai and told him that he hated it most when others touched his things. Yuwen Huai's smile did not reach his eyes as he proposed a tea party, which seemed more like a Hongmen Banquet. On the day of the tea party.

Imperial Princess Yuan Chun's carriage slowly arrived. She was dressed in pink and exuded charm. As she stepped out of the carriage, a female servant accidentally bumped into her. Yuan Chun did not wish to pursue the matter further, but with that collision, the box in the servant's hand dropped open. Yuan Chun looked curious and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

Just as she was about to touch it, a pale hand suddenly appeared and took the box away. Chu Qiao quickly covered the box with a handkerchief and told the imperial princess that it was rat poison, extremely potent, and must not be touched. Yuan Chun thought about her actions just now and still felt lingering fear. Yuan Song saw Chu Qiao, filled with surprise and joy, and shouted her name, Xing'er, as he came to greet her.

Yuan Chun heard the name Xing'er, her eyes widened in surprise, and she sized up Chu Qiao. So this was the Little Wildcat that Brother Yan Xun often talked about. She originally wanted to ask her in detail. Yuan Song noticed her intention and, laughing heartily, forcefully pulled her inside. Before Yuan Chun went in, she told Chu Qiao to follow her inside. Red pillars and gray tiles; in the garden, flowers bloomed profusely, exceptionally vibrant.

Yuan Chun saw Yan Xun, full of smiles, but Yan Xun's gaze remained fixed on Chu Qiao. Annoyed, Yuan Chun deliberately ordered Chu Qiao around, instructing her to brew tea for everyone to enhance the atmosphere. Yuwen Huai had always held a grudge against Chu Qiao. At this moment, he maliciously brought up the matter of a corpse in a forbidden lake nearby.

Subsequently, Yuwen Huai took out a box of incense, which was made from his grandfather's maiden's blood mixed with medicinal herbs from the Western Regions. To this day, the Old Master's Bliss Chamber still burns Zhixiang's blood incense. Zhixiang was Chu Qiao's older sister. Yan Xun advised Yuwen Huai not to go too far.

Not only did Yuwen Huai not restrain himself, but he became even more reckless, telling Chu Qiao to smell it and see if there was her sister's scent in the blood incense. Chu Qiao actually smelled it and said expressionlessly that she did not have such unique taste as Mister Huai. She then retreated to Yuwen Yue's side, her face extremely grim, and claimed to be unwell and left. Chun'er felt depressed and came out alone to daydream.

Suddenly, a piece of clothing was draped over her shoulders. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she excitedly called out Brother Yan Xun and turned around. When she saw that the person who came was Yuwen Huai, her smile froze on her face. Yuwen Huai cared for Imperial Princess Chun'er attentively. Chun'er did not like Chu Qiao, so he intended to make things difficult for Chu Qiao.

The Cold Food Holiday in three days would be a good opportunity. Chun'er, being kind-hearted, admonished Yuwen Huai not to go too far. Three days later, Xiaoba was working in the kitchen when she heard other maids gossiping about Yuwen Huai being about to dredge the bottom of the lake. Her heart was in a turmoil, and she ran back to find Chu Qiao to discuss a countermeasure.

Chu Qiao had already packed her belongings and carefully put away the wood bead her mother gave her. When Xiaoba came, Chu Qiao told her and Xiaoji to leave the manor that night and wait for her at the teahouse by the city gate. If she did not arrive past midnight, they should leave first. Chu Qiao was hurriedly copying something in Yuwen Yue's room and finally stamped it with Yuwen Yue's seal. Suddenly, she heard Yue Qi's voice.

Yuwen Yue and Yue Qi then walked in. Chu Qiao was already cleaning with a feather duster. Yue Qi carried a new set of clothes; these were specially prepared for Chu Qiao by Yuwen Yue. Chu Qiao changed her clothes and walked out dressed in flowing white, with a detached and cool demeanor. At this moment, outside Chang'an, a woman with her face veiled in white gauze arrived.

Looking at the bustling Chang'an, the woman thought to herself: Brother Yue, I have finally arrived in Chang'an, but not to meet you, only for slaughter. Meeting is not as good as longing. She was Xiao Yu, Princess Mingzheng of Southern Liang. Although she was just a woman, she possessed a clever and astute mind. With her was her attendant Yinxin, who had always followed her. He was highly skilled in martial arts and a qualified assassin.

Xiaoji and Xiaoba waited anxiously at the city gate, discussing Chu Qiao's background. Chu Qiao was not their blood sister, and the wood bead was the key to her true identity. Xiaoba worried that Chu Qiao, upon learning the truth, would no longer protect them. The wood bead was originally in her sister Zhixiang's hand, but what they didn't know was that Chu Qiao had already obtained the wood bead.

On the Cold Food Holiday, a white rainbow pierced the sun. This was probably a sign from heaven to mortals. The people of Chang'an discussed it animatedly. At the same time, the Emperor felt a sudden north wind rise and muttered to himself, "Could it be from Northern Yan?"

Meanwhile, Yan Xun received a letter from his father, stating that all was well in Northern Yan, telling him not to worry too much and to stay in Chang'an with peace of mind. The sky gradually darkened. Yuwen Yue and Chu Qiao, each riding a swift horse, slowly rode along the bustling streets. Passing a lantern stall, Yuwen Yue surprisingly dismounted and bought a cute rabbit-shaped lantern for Chu Qiao.

He clearly had good intentions but was too embarrassed to admit it, saying he bought it because the lantern resembled Chu Qiao. He then naturally extended his sleeve for her to hold and seriously said he was afraid she would get lost. As night deepened, Chu Qiao had been looking for an opportunity to escape. Asking Yuwen Yue for a horse earlier was also preparation for her escape.

She secretly observed the surrounding situation; many people gathered at the riddle-guessing spot. Chu Qiao pulled Yuwen Yue, saying she wanted to guess riddles. Both were dressed in white, spotless, and exceptionally striking in the crowd. A young man nearby tried to flirt with Chu Qiao using a candied hawthorn. Yuwen Yue arrogantly swatted away the candied hawthorn. Then, the two got down to business and started guessing riddles. The riddle was: "It's better to say it early than late."

Yuwen Yue looked at the riddle and said with a hidden meaning, "Some things, it's better to say them early than late; saying it late would mean losing the initiative." Chu Qiao gave him a deep look and gave the answer to the riddle, which was the character Xu. Chu Qiao won a prize. She had originally intended to use the opportunity of collecting the prize to leave and not return.

But she didn't expect Yuwen Yue would personally go to get it for her. Watching his tall figure walk away, Chu Qiao turned around and led the horse away. While walking quickly, she encountered a man and a woman, who were Xiao Yu and Yinxin, having just entered the city today. Yinxin found the rabbit lantern cute and asked where it could be bought. Chu Qiao sized up the two of them, gave the address, and then presented her own lantern to Xiao Yu.
