Chapter 254 The Princess Loses Her Temper
Mo Wen did not have her family send a message to Xu Ke about the pregnancy.

So, he doesn't know yet.

But Princess Yu'an found out first.

It turns out that the second young mistress of the Xu family is related to the widowed princess that Mo Yi met at the princess's mansion last time.

Today is the princess's birthday, and she invited her friends to her home.

Second Madam Xu passed away, and Princess Yu'an also passed away.

Everyone was eating, drinking, and having fun; the atmosphere was very relaxed. A few people were playing mahjong, hanging up the wins and losses, so they were all quite enthusiastic.

Princess Yu'an didn't play; she sat to the side.

When Granny Xu went to touch up her makeup, she passed by on her way back, stopped, and chatted respectfully.

Princess Yu'an then realized that this was Xu Ke's sister-in-law, and the thought of her stirred her heart.

I haven't seen him in so long... I miss him terribly.

So I gave her a smile and was very polite...

After exchanging a few words, the conversation somehow turned to Xu Ke and Mo Wen. Second Madam Xu laughed, "Third Brother's wife is pregnant, and Third Brother is in the western suburbs; he doesn't know yet!"

At first, Princess Yu'an didn't understand. "What? You said someone is pregnant?!"

"It's Xu Ke's wife, Madam Mo. We just found out yesterday..."

Princess Yu'an's eyes widened; she was stunned...

How could this be?! How is this possible?!
Didn't Xu Ke say he didn't consummate their marriage?!

what?
That damn liar! How dare he lie?

Just then, the woman playing mahjong called out to Grandma Xu, "Can you take over for a moment? I need to go to the restroom."

Grandma Xu walked away with a smile, leaving Princess Yu'an dumbfounded.

She almost fainted from anger!

OK……

He lied to me! How dare he lie to me!
That bastard, that dog of a man, how dare he outwardly comply with my wishes while inwardly defying me?

He's making me find him a job while he's all lovey-dovey with that vile woman...

Are you playing games with me?

She stood up, ignored everyone, and went straight out of the mansion to get into the carriage. "To the western suburban camp!" Her voice trembled, her chest heaved, and tears streamed down her face.

Xu Ke, you're really something! I swear I won't rest until I've killed you all!
She rushed out without even calling her personal maid or the guards in the gatehouse.

The driver was also her bodyguard.

Knowing the princess's temperament, he thought to himself, "How can I just accompany her out of the city by myself?"
It's only about 200 li (100 kilometers), and if there are any problems on the road, we might not even arrive before dark.

If he were alone with the princess and they were still in the wilderness after dark... he might get into trouble, and his own life might be in danger.

So he whispered, "Your Highness, shall I go and call the other guards?"

With a thud, it was unclear what the princess had slammed against the car door, but a chilling voice followed: "Say another word, and I'll chop off your head!"

The driver dared not utter a sound, thinking to himself: Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is not at the West Suburb Camp, nothing will happen.

Once we get there, everything will be fine... Just please don't cause any trouble on the way!

What bad luck...

But he dared not say more and hurried out of the city.

Princess Yu'an cried throughout the journey in the carriage, her throat choked with sobs, and she almost suffocated several times.

She made up her mind that if Xu Ke dared to deceive and toy with her, then she would teach him a lesson: playing with fire will get him burned!
And that bitch Mo Wen, she'll die along with her unborn child!
Mo Yi... she also needs to be raped and then killed!

Li Jing, don't even think about running away!
Along the way, she thought about the suffering she endured as a child, that feeling of constant fear and anxiety, which she could still dream about now!

And then I think of that bitch Ming'an... and that dog beast Dongfang!
"Everyone who has wronged me must die!"

"Anyone I dislike shall die!"

She bared her teeth in hatred, tears and snot streaming down her face, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. Her eyes held a bottomless, sinister malice.

The princess's carriage was luxurious and sturdy, and the horses were excellent.

The road wasn't difficult to travel, and they only had the driver and her with them.

We traveled light and the journey was smooth. But even so, it was almost evening when we arrived at Xijiaoying.

Upon reaching the camp gate, the guards who had driven the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived...

Soldiers at the gate stopped them: "Who comes here?"

"Princess Yu'an's carriage is here." The driver also became arrogant.

The guard at the gate was somewhat surprised; looking at the car, it was indeed quite luxurious.

But when a princess travels, why is there only one carriage and one person rushing to catch it?

Although he was just a gatekeeper, he had seen how the Crown Prince behaved several times.

Surrounded by a large entourage, what an impressive sight!

And... what's a princess doing here? "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Prince Qi both returned to the city yesterday. Are you here to see the Fourteenth Prince?"

"How dare you! Do I need to tell you who I want to see?"

After Princess Yu'an finished speaking fiercely, she thought again that if she continued to ramble on, that dog Fourteen might find out!
She slammed the car door open.

The gatekeeper saw that the inside was empty except for a woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a phoenix hairpin, who was very beautiful.

They didn't dare stop her anymore, "Please come in, Princess!"

Princess Yu'an gave him a cold look. "I have important business to attend to and need to see Lord Xu Ke. Do you know where he is?"

"Your Highness, I understand. We'll go straight down this road, and then..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow the directions." With that, the princess closed the carriage door herself.

The soldier quickly took the horse and led the cart forward.

We walked along the forest path, past several barracks, and continued for quite a while before finally stopping at the entrance of a courtyard.

"Your Highness, Lord Xu works right here."

"Alright, go back now. Keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense!" Princess Yu'an's voice was icy.

Upon hearing this, the man turned his horse around and rode away, thinking: "If I let people into the camp, how can I not say anything?"

Princess Yu'an slowly stepped out of the carriage, her eyes coldly fixed on the courtyard a dozen or so steps high.

There was no need for a groom to announce her arrival; she simply lifted her skirt and ascended the steps.

Just as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a soldier came out from inside.

In the large military camp, the soldier was startled to suddenly see such a noblewoman. "May I ask, madam, who are you looking for?"

Princess Yu'an spoke with difficulty: "Xu Ke, is he here?"

"Lord Xu? He's here. Shall I fetch him for you?"

"it is good……"

The soldier took off running inside in a flash.

Xu Ke finished her work for the day and was tidying up, preparing to go have dinner.

A soldier called from the doorway, "Lord Xu!?"

"Come in."

The soldier grinned mischievously, "Lord Xu, there's a lady looking for you at the gate." Although he was quite gossipy, he was also clever enough not to say anything out of line.

Xu Ke was puzzled. In the military camp, apart from some women who cooked, washed clothes, and cleaned, where were the ladies?
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he hurried out the door, taking three steps at a time to reach the gate.

When I saw her, my mind went blank. What was she doing here?

Then, I saw the princess's face; her makeup was ruined, and her eyes were swollen.

His eyes and expression were menacing.

What's going on now?!
He was furious and said in a low voice, "Why did you come? I told you to go outside..." He didn't dare to linger and went out first.

Princess Yu'an was even angrier when she saw his timidity, his fear of letting others know.

"Stop..." she said fiercely.

But Xu Ke ignored her and went straight down the steps.

She could only follow behind resentfully.

Xu Ke saw the princess's luxurious carriage and stopped at the bottom of the steps! He secretly cursed, "This woman is insane!"
I plan to get straight into the car...

Princess Yu'an followed closely behind him.

Just then, Liang You finished his day's work and accepted a friend's invitation to dinner.

The soldiers here all eat in the communal canteen.

But people from well-off families, like Xu Ke and Liang You, would bring servants and cooks with them.

Each campsite has its own small kitchen.

Actually, Liang You's residence is quite far from here; someone is treating him to dinner today.

He was riding his horse with a few people along a side path when he inadvertently turned his head.

Suddenly I saw a woman!
And her attire, even from a distance, was clearly not ordinary. I was puzzled: this was a military camp, a place of great importance; where did this noblewoman come from? Upon closer inspection, it was… Princess Yu'an, wasn't it?

Looking at that car again... it must be.

But then he looked again at the man... Xu Ke?!

How did they get together?!

As soon as they could see clearly, the two people got into the carriage.

Liang You's heart was pounding. How could these two people possibly get into the same car?
It's impossible from a legal, ethical, and moral standpoint!

The group had already moved on, and Liang You had his horse stop behind a tree...

Xu Ke got into the car, feeling extremely angry.

Before he could even speak, Princess Yu'an slapped him across the head...
