"I wouldn't dare young master . The wound might gross you out . It isn't a sight for a n.o.ble person like you . " The "injured" man said in panic .

"I said it earlier, I am a doctor . I've seen more severe wounds than that before . There is no need to look at the difference in our status . " Lin Xulian said calmly while trying to approach him again .

As expected, the other man stepped between Lin Xulian and the "injured" man . "There is no need! If you don't want to give, then don't . We will just find a way to get him treated . I just hope your conscience won't let you sleep, you oppressive and stingy n.o.blemen!" He then supported his partner up . Seeing that the situation is unfavorable for them, they decided to flee and abandon their plan .

Seeing this, Xing Tanxing wanted to stop the men from leaving . She decided that she would pay for his treatment first then settle the dispute later on . As someone in charged, she needs to keep the peace and be fair to both her citizens and the foreign travelers .

But before she could call out to the men, her guards approached her and presented two scrolls of wanted notice . Her face darkened after seeing the content . Xing Tanxing shove the scrolls back to the guard's hands and immediately blocked the two men . She then pulled the "injured" man's robes and tear it open showing his entire upper body . And as expected, there is no wound present .

Lin Xulian, Rui and the bystanders around them went agape by Xing Tanxing's next move . She punched the men one by one in their gut . Because she exerted a lot of force, the two vomited blood and curled up while rolling on the ground . She didn't even stop there and stepped on their chests . "You dare to fool this princess?! You wanted to extort my people?! You should've asked where you are and who I am first!"

When her anger is finally appeased, Xing Tanxing lifted her head towards Lin Xulian and Rui's direction . Seeing the shock in Rui's face, Xing Tanxing's face reddened in embarra.s.sment . Lin Xulian on the other hand smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt seeing the way the princess dealt with the criminals . She can't help but compare her with her sister Xing Baihe who is very pet.i.te and feminine . Xing Tanxing in contrast is valiant and her body is very well developed in all areas .

Xing Tanxing tried to regain her composure . She temporarily forgot her position when she realized that the people she wanted to help were criminals . She hates being fooled the most so she wasn't able to control her temper . "*cough* These two are criminals from the capital and are wanted all over the country . " She said towards the crowd .

She then faced her subordinates . "Investigate if they have some other victims in this town . Then send these two back in the capital for their punishment . " Xing Tanxing gave few more instructions to her subordinates . She is oozing with charisma of a leader and her subordinates clearly respects her despite the fact that she is a woman .

"Woaw! That's the eldest princess! I just heard from my relatives in the capital that she is really strong despite being a woman but with a face of a fragile fairy . I can't believe that it is actually true . " One of the bystander said . The crowd looked at the princess with admiration and respect .

After dealing with the criminals, Xing Tanxing approached Lin Xulian and Rui . Then she bowed in apology . "Please forgive this princess for causing inconvenience to you two young masters . "

Lin Xulian refused her apology . "Please don't lower your head for us lowly subjects, your highness . It wasn't your fault . We should thank your highness instead for saving us the trouble of dealing with those two . "

"You are too kind young master . It is this princess's responsibility to keep the peace in this town and be fair with both my citizen and visitors . " Xing Tanxing said respectfully .

"Lian'er!" Without warning, Lin Xulian suddenly felt weak and almost fell forward . Luckily Rui caught her and held her arms while Xing Tanxing caught her by her shoulders from the front . Because of this, Xing Tanxing felt the b.u.mp in her belly . She subconsciously looked down and confirmed the b.u.mp .

"You are a (woman)! And you're also (pregnant)! Then is he (your husband)?" Xing Tanxing said while stuttering but Lin Xulian can understand her clearly despite the fact that her sentences were not complete .

"He is really my brother . " Lin Xulian said understanding the inner turmoil in Xing Tanxing's mind . Xing Tanxing visibly heave a sigh of relief . Lin Xulian smiled at her meaningfully that caused Xing Tanxing's face to redden in embarra.s.sment . Rui on the other hand is still completely oblivious to the two women's mental conversation .

When Lin Xulian finally regain her strength, Rui and Xing Tanxing helped her stand properly . "It was probably because of your condition in addition to the cold weather . It is almost night time already and the inns around here cannot protect you from the cold . How about you both stay in our manor for the meantime?" Xing Tanxing offered .

Lin Xulian doesn't have any reason to decline so she takes on Xing Tanxing's offer . "Then I can only thank your highness in advance . I hope we are not an inconvenience . "

"Not at all . My elder brother surely wouldn't mind and would understand your circ.u.mstances . It would be a bigger bother for me if you get sick during your stay on our town . " Xing Tanxing said with a smile .

"You have an elder brother with you?"

"Yes . The eldest prince, Xing Guang . "

Lin Xulian was surprised . She knows who that is . The hero of the Zhixiang country who became blind years ago because of an encounter with a group of bandits . And also Lady Han Yimei's supposed to be fiancé .
