Upon hearing Jian Yang's accusation that she had been having an affair with a man, Consort Yu immediately became furious and embarrassed.

When asked to explain why, she hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood us," the man finally spoke up to save the day.

"Who are you?" Jian Yang didn't even bother to look at him!

The man was taken aback, not expecting that Jian Yang didn't recognize him.

Consort Yu was also very surprised.

Then, the man cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "Your subject Zhou Jing'an greets Your Majesty the Empress."

Zhou Jing'an?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Jian Yang frowned and thought for a moment before finally remembering.

The dog emperor's elder brother, Prince Chen, was named Zhou Jing'an.

No wonder he could freely enter and leave the palace.

So they really are royalty!

Since he was a prince, she couldn't refuse to give him face.

She straightened up and said calmly, "I injured my head a few days ago, and apart from some important people and things, I have basically forgotten everything. I hope Your Highness Prince Chen will not take offense."

The implication was that Prince Chen was an unimportant person and not worth her attention.

"However," before Prince Chen could answer, Jian Yang changed the subject, "I wonder what Your Highness Prince Chen and Consort Yu are doing here? Aren't you afraid of being reported to the Emperor for improper conduct?"

Prince Chen chuckled softly, “Your Majesty is too kind. Consort Yu and I merely met by chance here, and there was absolutely no improper behavior between us. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask the people around us.”

When gods fight, what mortal dares to speak?

Upon hearing what Prince Chen said, those around him quickly lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear into the ground, fearing that the Empress would actually come to ask!
