As for the Grand Princess, she stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.

On the other side, Meng Fanxuan suggested, "Grand Princess, although Li Cheng is a member of our King's Manor, the things he has done have threatened Princess Changan. He is willing to be arrested to atone for his sins."

The Eldest Princess was already feeling uncomfortable, because of Meng Liangxuan, she still wanted to contradict him and not let go of Li Cheng Yan. After all, Li Cheng Yan was the most beloved son of the King, and even though she was a princess, if the court really did make a move, she wouldn't be able to say it clearly in front of the Emperor. Meng Ling Xuan's attitude undoubtedly made the Eldest Princess happy, so she said, "Alright, your highness, you should pay attention to your safety."

Meng Fanxuan clasped his fists, "Fountain up, Fountain up. I'll definitely bring Li Cheng back."

The Grand Princess nodded. "I trust in your ability. I'll leave this matter to you."

Meng Liangxuan replied, "Yes, Grand Princess."

After bidding farewell to the Grand Princess, Meng Fanxuan left Song Xiangsi there as well. Afterwards, he brought his men to search for the remnants of Li Chengyan's remnants.

Since the Grand Princess had already received Princess Changan, she naturally wanted to uphold justice for her. She gave the order on the spot, "Mistress Liu, if you commit an offense, you will be punished according to the law for attempted murder of a member of the imperial family."

On the other side, when Meng Ling Xuan rushed back, Li Cheng had already run away cunningly, leaving Meng Ling Xuan and his men empty-handed. Meng Ling Xuan was unwilling to accept this. He had brought people with him to search the surrounding hundred kilometers, door to door, but they still failed to find anything.

Helpless, Meng Huaxuan could only return with his men. By the time he returned, it was already late in the evening. The Grand Princess was planning to rest here for the night and hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Meng Ling Xuan walked in and found Song Xiang Si looking at him from not too far away. She was waiting for him.

Meng Ling Xuan walked up to her and stood still. He took off his outer robe and put it on her, resting his chin on her shoulder. With a gentle tone, he said, "Why are you standing here? Don't you get a cold outside."

Song Xiangsi looked up and smiled at him. "I'm fine, but you're the one. I can see that your expression isn't good. What happened?"

Meng Fangxuan sighed and said, "We should still let Li Chengyan escape."

Song Xiangsi pondered for a moment before reminding him, "This person is cunning and ever-changing. We were careless this time. We should be careful in the future."

Meng Liangxuan nodded. "Don't worry, I'll definitely catch him."

Song Xiangsi walked over and hugged Meng Lianxuan. "I believe you."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was especially enchanting. Meng Fangxuan lifted his hand to brush away the hair that had fallen off Song Xiangsi's face, replying with a warm smile.

Song Xiangsi was at a loss for words at Meng Ling Xuan's sudden gentleness. She pushed him and said, "Quickly go in. The Grand Princess is still waiting for you inside."

Meng Ling Xuan hugged Song Xiangsi greedily and refused to let her go. He paused for a while before saying, "I got it. Quickly go back inside and take a breather."

Song Xiangsi nodded obediently, "Ok."

After seeing Song Xiangsi back into the house, Meng Fangxuan walked over to the Grand Princess.

Walking up to the Grand Princess's door, the guard at the door greeted him with a salute, instructing him to wait for the guard to enter and report to the Grand Princess. Not long later, he walked out and opened the door to allow Meng Huanxuan in.

"Lai Xuan is here." Hearing the voice, the Grand Princess spoke up.

Meng Ling Xuan walked in and saw that the Grand Princess was seated on a couch. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Grand Princess."

The Grand Princess nodded and stretched out her hand to greet him, "There's no need to be so courteous between us. Come here."

"Thank you, Princess."

The Grand Princess asked, "Have you caught him yet?"

Meng Huaxuan frowned. "No, he still escaped."

As long as she had this attitude, she wouldn't be afraid of complaining to the Emperor when she returned. She said, "It doesn't matter, he will eventually return to the hands of the Son of Heaven, and he will definitely pay the corresponding price for his wrongdoings. Please be at ease."

Meng Liangxuan said, "Yes."

No longer chatting about such things, the Grand Princess stood up and changed her tone, "In the future, I will be returning to the capital. Are you willing to return with me?"

Meng Liangxuan paused for a moment, then said, "Reporting to the Grand Princess, Li Xuan still has some matters to attend to. This time, we can't accompany the Grand Princess back to the capital. Please forgive us, Grand Princess."

The Grand Princess sighed, but didn't force him.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Liangxuan bowed to the Eldest Princess, "Eldest Princess, Li Xuan has a request for you."

The Grand Princess: "What is it?"

"This place is very far from the capital. Li Xuan can't always be by my mother's side is Li Xuan's unfilial act. I hope that the Grand Princess can take care of my mother when she returns to the capital."

The Grand Princess sighed, it was hard for him to keep thinking about his mother. All these years, his father had only doted on his side concubine, which was why he was able to raise such a lawless thing like Li Chengyan! What he had done to Princess Hua-Yang was indeed chilling to the heart. If he didn't have a son like Meng Ling Xuan, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep his main wife's position.

The Grand Princess patted his hand, saying, "Good child, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of her. You, on the other hand, will always take good care of yourself."

Meng Ling Xuan: "Li Xuan understands. Li Xuan thanks you too long for this."

The Grand Princess sighed and nodded to him.

In truth, over the years, Meng Liangxuan's father had always been fond of the imperial concubine, and had long since forgotten that he was the principal concubine of his mother. Not only did he treat her coldly, he even allowed the side wangfei's influence within the estate to grow day by day.

She knew that the prince didn't have any love for her, so she didn't want to fight over other things with other women. She didn't care about the other princesses making trouble for her, but over time, she became even more arrogant.

Since the Grand Princess had already promised him, she would keep her promise. As such, Meng Liangxuan felt slightly more at ease.

The next day, the Grand Princess was about to leave for the capital. Before she left, Meng Ling Xuan and Song Xiang Si came out to send her off. Princess Changan hesitated for a while before finally mustering her courage to walk in front of Meng Ling Xuan.

Princess Changan clutched her skirt until her palms were sweating from nervousness. She raised her head to smile sweetly at Meng Ling Xuan. "Big brother Li Xuan, thank you very much for this."

Meng Fanxuan said calmly, "There's no need to be so courteous, Princess Changan."

Princess Changan lowered her head and said sorrowfully, "I'm about to return to the capital. Elder brother Li Xuan, take good care of yourself."

Meng Fanxuan nodded. "Many thanks to you, Princess Changan. You should take good care of yourself and never put yourself in danger again."

Princess Changan's face turned red as she replied, "I understand."

"Big Brother Li Xuan, I will miss you." With that, Princess Changan shyly turned to leave.

Song Xiangsi stood not too far away, watching them as Princess Changan shyly ran from Meng Lianxuan to him. He thought that something bad must have happened, and sure enough, Princess Changan immediately returned to her arrogant and lovable expression. She said to Song Xiangsi, "Don't think that just because you saved me, I'll be grateful to you."

Song Xiangsi glanced at her indifferently and said, "I don't expect you to be grateful to me."

Princess Changan snorted coldly. "No matter what you do, it won't change your identity."

Song Xiangsi frowned and said, "I've never felt that there was anything wrong with my identity, and I never thought of changing it."

Princess Changan disdainfully said, "Alright. Since that's the case, you'd better recognize the truth. Don't think too highly of yourself for thinking about things that don't belong to you."

Princess Changan turned and walked to the Grand Princess. The two said their goodbyes as they boarded the carriage and left in a formidable array.

Song Xiangsi became angry when she thought about the scene where she was with Meng Ling Xuan just now. She turned around and glared at Meng Ling Xuan before turning her head away.

Just as she was about to come over, she was glared at by Song Xiangsi. She rubbed her chin, wondering how she had angered her so much.
