Su Jin looked at the man in black with disdain. "You're so dense. Do you think I could fly away without you?"

The man in black shook his head.

Su Jinxia continued, "If you don't pursue it, won't a huge conspiracy go undetected?"

The man in black nodded.

Have you figured out which is more important?

The man in black... "Alright."

"Report back to me immediately after you've finished investigating," Su Jin ordered.

So, the man in black went to check the guards.

However, after taking a few steps, the man in black suddenly realized, "How did I start working for Su Jin?"

Oh well, never mind, His Majesty and Su Jin are siblings, family, they're all the same!

The man in black always felt that angering Su Jinxia would be more terrifying than angering His Majesty, after all, Su Jinxia was the first person to beat up His Majesty and make him cry!

So, you'd better just listen to them.

Su Jin returned to the courtyard and met Xiang Wei again.

"Why did you go out, young lady? You'd better not wander around, lest you offend any important people!"

Xiangwei straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, her eyes haughty, and her words carried a lecturing tone.

Knowing that Xiangwei was about to launch a major operation, Su Jinxia did not suppress her arrogance and silently returned to her room.

Xiangwei snorted and muttered under her breath after Su Jin closed the door, "Hmph, so not so arrogant anymore, not so great after all!"

"Hey, stop right there!"

Xiangwei saw a maid carrying fresh fruit, a rare sight in winter, and stopped her.

The maid was a little afraid of her, and shrank her neck, asking, "Xiangwei, what's wrong?"

Xiangwei glanced at her. "Is this meant to be taken to the room?"

The maid nodded.

"How can we give her such good stuff? His Majesty doesn't even get to eat this on ordinary days!" Xiangwei snatched the fruit plate away. "Give it to me, I'll give it to His Majesty when I have time."

The maidservant immediately became anxious, "But this is what His Majesty ordered to be delivered."

"What do you know? Things in the palace can change in an instant. Open your dog eyes and see who you should be currying favor with!" Xiangwei scolded the little maid with her self-righteousness.

The maid stood there, unsure whether to go forward or backward.

"Hurry up and leave, what are you standing here for?" Xiangwei scolded.

The maid had no choice but to retreat with tears in her eyes.

Xiangwei looked at the rare fruit on the plate, licked her lips with longing, and then secretly ate half of it back in her room.

That evening, Xiangwei wandered around and found out that His Majesty was drowning his sorrows in alcohol alone in his bedchamber.

Xiangwei knew her chance had come, so she took the remaining half of the fruit from lunch and went to her bedchamber.

Because Xiangwei had always served His Majesty, she easily entered Zhou Chen's bedchamber.

"Knock knock knock".

A gentle knock on the door brought Zhou Chen, who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, back to his senses.

Who is it?

"Your Majesty, it is this servant, Xiangwei."

Zhou Chen immediately sat up straighter. "Come in."

Xiangwei pushed open the door and walked in gracefully. She had specially changed into a gauze dress before coming, which made her look ethereal.

Zhou Chen noticed this and wondered: Isn't it cold in the freezing winter?

The thought flashed through Zhou Chen's mind, but he didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he asked anxiously, "Why are you here? Did something happen to your sister?"

Xiangwei stiffened, feeling extremely displeased. Why was His Majesty still thinking about that woman?

Xiangwei walked up to Zhou Chen, put down the fruit, and said in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, why did you drink so much? Have some fruit to sober up."

As she spoke, Xiangwei picked up a plump, glistening grape, peeled it, and handed it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen suddenly remembered Su Jin's words: "Did you break your hand?"

Zhou Chen shuddered, then turned his head away, saying unhappily, "I won't eat, get out!"

Xiangwei immediately became anxious. Her eyes darted around, and she said softly, "After all, it's a token of the young lady's affection. She ordered me to deliver it specially. Doesn't Your Majesty want to try it?"

"What?" Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, as if stars had suddenly fallen into them. "Did my sister ask you to deliver this?"

Xiangwei tightened her grip on the grapes slightly, inwardly furious, but still maintaining a gentle smile on her face. "Yes."

Zhou Chen looked at the plate of fruit and grinned foolishly. Was his sister feeling sorry for him and giving in to him?

Zhou Chen picked up a grape, stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating it, completely forgetting about Xiang Wei.

Xiangwei looked at the sticky grapes in her hand, angrily threw them aside, and then stared at Zhou Chen with an unfathomable gaze.

As Zhou Chen ate, he began to feel something was off.

I just drank quite a bit of alcohol, and my stomach is burning. Eating fruit made it feel cool and relieved it a bit, but only for a short while. For some reason, after eating too much, I felt even hotter.

Zhou Chen took off his coat uncomfortably, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiang Wei was still there.

Why are you still here?

Xiangwei saw that Zhou Chen's cheeks were getting rosier and his eyes were getting a little unfocused, and she knew that the time had come.

She leaned closer, placed her hand on Zhou Chen's arm, and tried to make her voice as sweet as possible: "Your Majesty did not allow me to leave, how could I dare to leave? It is getting late, let me serve Your Majesty to bed."

The girl's rich fragrance wafted into Zhou Chen's nostrils, making him even more dizzy. He shook his hand and said in a deep voice, "No need, you can go."

"Your Majesty, you are Your Majesty, how can you be without anyone to serve you? Let Xiangwei serve you."

Zhou Chen not only didn't shake off Xiang Wei, but instead made her stick even closer.

Zhou Chen frowned deeply, disgust rising in his heart. He then forcefully pushed away the person clinging to him, shouting, "Get off me!"

Due to inertia, Zhou Chen not only pushed Xiang Wei away, but also knocked himself down.

Seeing this, Xiangwei rushed over worriedly, "Oh dear, Your Majesty, be careful!"

The girl's body was cool as water, and the moment she pounced on him, Zhou Chen's brain went blank.

Seeing that Zhou Chen no longer resisted, Xiang Wei became even bolder. She slowly touched Zhou Chen's chest and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, may I serve you?"

Zhou Chen's brows furrowed tightly. Although he felt disgusted, his body craved the cool sensation, and a certain part of his body began to stir with desire.

Xiangwei revealed a dangerous hint of victory, slowly peeled off her clothes, then took Zhou Chen's hand and placed it on her cool skin.

Zhou Chen's hot hand suddenly gripped Xiang Wei's shoulder.

Just as Zhou Chen lost his temper and was about to take further action, the door to the bedroom was kicked open!

A cold wind howled in, giving Xiangwei goosebumps and also waking up the fiery Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen blinked, looked at his hands, and then at Xiang Wei's bare skin.

"ah!"

Zhou Chen screamed as if he had touched something dirty, and shoved Xiang Wei away.

Xiangwei was a little stunned and frightened. After she came to her senses, she found a group of guards standing behind Su Jin staring at her. She finally realized how indecent she was in her current state.

"Ahhh!"

Screams erupted, and Xiangwei frantically searched for her clothes.
