Xiao Heng was startled.

He stared at Gu Jiao, dumbfounded.

Gu Jiao didn't pull back, but continued to gaze at him up close, blinking her pair of eyes at him.

A wave of heat surged in Xiao Heng's chest.

At his youthful age, how could he resist such temptation?

Xiao Heng's throat moved slightly, his eyes looking at her eagerly.

A small voice of righteousness in his heart shouted “don’t, don’t“, and then another evil voice slapped the righteous one to death.

Xiao Heng reached out and grabbed the back of her head, leaning in for a kiss.

Just as he was about to kiss her, there was a sudden heavy cough at the door, "Ahem!"

It was Princess Xinyang's voice.

Xiao Heng stumbled on his foot and bumped into the bedpost beside Gu Jiao, leaving a big bump on his forehead.

Yu Jin and the servant girls suppressed their laughter.

Princess Xinyang couldn’t bear to look at it.

If she had come alone, she could have just slipped away quietly.

However, she brought a bunch of people with her, and with so many eyes witnessing the scene, it was impossible to leave unnoticed.

"Everyone... withdraw." She frowned.

"Yes."

Yu Jin chuckled and led the servant girls out.

Princess Xinyang, hating the iron for not becoming steel, looked at her nineteen-year-old son, who was still as innocent as a child. She said, "Hopeless! In broad daylight, don't you know how to close the door?"

Gu Jiao interjected, "Don't scold my husband."

Princess Xinyang retorted, "And why can't I scold him?"

Xiao Heng felt his face swell, cheeks redden, and neck thicken.

Not only had he almost kissed his wife in broad daylight, but he had also been caught by his own mother and Yu Jin.

This was simply against the rules that he had learned since childhood. He had indeed crossed the line.

But what was even worse was, he was accused of misconduct without even getting to enjoy the moment.

He almost kissed her.

What a pity!

“Ahem.” Xiao Heng stepped between Gu Jiao and Princess Xinyang, addressing his mother with seriousness, "Why did you come over, Mother?"

Princess Xinyang chuckled, "Am I not allowed to come? Did I disturb your good time? Xiao Heng, don't you know there's something called a door? Can't you close it?"

Gu Jiao peeked out from behind Xiao Heng and retorted, "That's not as exciting."

Xiao Heng: “...!!!”

Wife, please stay silent!

Xiao Heng broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly supported Princess Xinyang's arm and said awkwardly, "JiaoJiao needs to rest and recuperate. Let me help mother go for a walk outside."

"Humph!"

Princess Xinyang flicked her sleeve and turned around.

Gu Jiao turned her head away and also harrumphed, "Humph."

Princess Xinyang widened her eyes in disbelief, turning around, "Hey! This girl——"

Xiao Heng blocked her, guiding his mother out. With one hand supporting her, he used the other to close Gu Jiao's door.

Princess Xinyang glared at him, "Forgetting about your mother now that you have a wife!"

Xiao Heng looked innocent, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Princess Xinyang raised an eyebrow, "Then let me ask you..."

Xiao Heng sighed and interrupted her, "If you and JiaoJiao fell into the water at the same time, who would I save first? Of course, I'd save you. JiaoJiao and I will save you. JiaoJiao can swim!"

Princess Xinyang:“...”

Princess Xinyang didn't actually come to find fault with people. After a few grumbles, she then got down to business.

Roughly speaking, she was going away for a few days, and she would return after a while. She had already instructed the Crown Prince about the court affairs, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

"Don't leave the capital unless absolutely necessary. If there's something, don't go out either. Wait for me to return."

"Alright."

After advising her son, Princess Xinyang, accompanied by Yu Jin and Long Yi, boarded the carriage for their journey.

Yu Jin asked, "Princess, where are we going?"

Princess Xinyang replied, "We're going to find another faction of the State of Yan."

She had long suspected that the reason that that group of Yan people didn't dare to act in the capital was because there was another State of Yan’s faction present.

This faction might not necessarily be there to protect Xiao Heng.

They were more likely to be the State of Yan's spies embedded in various countries, tasked with monitoring intelligence of various nations rather than interfering in their state affairs.

The Nangong Family must have acted without authorization and were thus being careful not to be discovered by the State of Yan, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

Princess Xinyang lifted a corner of the curtain and said to Yu Jin, "Look at the people on this street, they all dress like ordinary commoners, but one of them might be a spy from another country——Yan, Jin, or Liang..."

Yu Jin exclaimed, "So many spies?"

Princess Xinyang replied, "We also have spies in other countries."

Yu Jin was slightly surprised, "Even in the upper states?"

Princess Xinyang replied casually, "In the State of Liang, yes. But not yet in the State of Yan or Jin."

Yu Jin asked with confusion, "How do we know which one of them is a spy from the State of Yan?"

"We’ll guess." Princess Xinyang answered.

The carriage stopped outside a luxurious fabric shop.

The coachman went down to negotiate with the shop's owner, and soon the owner personally came up to the carriage to report, "Reporting to the princess, the Yan pharmacist is going out of the city today to collect herbs. I've spread the word that the herbs he wants are available in the Cangbei Mountain."

Behind the fabric shop was an underground martial arts arena.

No one knew that this inconspicuous fabric shop was actually set up as Princess Xinyang's intelligence network many years ago.

Yu Jin frowned, "Princess, are you suspecting that the Yan pharmacist is the spy from the State of Yan planted in the capital of the State of Zhao? Isn't that too blatant? Shouldn't they conceal their identity as a person of the State of Yan?"

Princess Xinyang snorted coldly, "Sometimes, the more open you are, the less suspicious you seem. Besides, the State of Zhao is just a lower country, the State of Yan doesn't need to be too cautious. Whether he is the person I'm looking for, we'll find out by following him."
