Zu An was a bit of a headache. How could the Crown Princess appear and disappear so mysteriously? He kept running into her.

Now we're in trouble. Although Yun Jianyue doesn't seem to have any flaws on the surface, the Crown Princess is quite familiar with Jin Pai Eleven. Once she opens her mouth and starts communicating, she'll be exposed.

"Greetings, Crown Princess!" The guards near Yunlong Gate bowed upon her arrival.

The Crown Princess nodded slightly in acknowledgment, her elegant demeanor earning praise from everyone who saw her; she was destined to be a future empress.

She waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to move away, before approaching Yun Jianyue: "Eleventh Lord, I didn't expect to meet you again by such a coincidence."

"Hmm~" Yun Jianyue responded vaguely. Of course, she knew that she would be exposed if she spoke. She had heard the Crown Princess chatting with Jin Pai Shiyi outside the courtyard. Because of the last time she saved someone, the Crown Princess seemed to be very grateful to him and value him.

Suddenly, a thought struck her: why not take this opportunity to kidnap or even kill her?

The two were so close that she didn't even need to use her Grandmaster abilities.

However, she immediately dismissed the idea. Not to mention that killing a Crown Princess alone would be meaningless, even if it were meaningful, it would put Zu'an in danger. The other party had helped her so much, how could she repay kindness with enmity?

The Crown Princess didn't seem to mind her "aloof" attitude. She smiled slightly and said, "Eleventh Prince, were you satisfied with the gift I gave you last time? If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask."

Yun Jianyue was speechless. Everyone said that the Crown Princess was aloof, so why was she so talkative?

Fortunately, the Crown Princess didn't wait for his reply and continued, "By the way, I heard that Consort Bai summoned Lord Eleven afterward. I wonder what she gave you as a reward? What does Lord Eleven think of her?"

Rong Mo, who was not far away, looked at his master with some doubt. The Crown Princess was never like this on ordinary days. She was always aloof and indifferent to everyone. Many servants even thought she was a bit fierce.

Normally, if anyone else dared to be so indifferent, the Crown Princess would have been angry long ago. But today, she was different. She even had a smile on her face and was talking more than usual. Could it be that she had some feelings for the Eleventh Prince?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she was startled and immediately stopped herself from letting her mind wander. As the Crown Princess's personal maid, she knew the Crown Princess's character and that she would never do anything to dishonor the family. Moreover, the Crown Princess was a strong woman at heart; she needed power, and only the Crown Prince and her current status could give her that. She would never act recklessly.

Well, I suppose she was just grateful to the Eleventh Master for saving her.

Thinking back to that night when the group from the Eastern Palace were in dire straits, and then the Eleven Golden Soldiers descended from the sky, Rong Mo nodded secretly. To be honest, the Eleventh Lord was really quite handsome back then.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue looked at the smiling Crown Princess in front of her. The expression behind the mask was ambiguous, and as a woman herself, she keenly realized that this Crown Princess had a strange fondness for Zu An.

I never expected that Red Tears would have such a rival in love...

Pshaw, when did I agree to Hong Lei's relationship with him?

Since Hong Lei can't lose her virginity for a long time anyway, it's better to end it now than to suffer a long pain. It's better to take this opportunity to end it so as not to affect Hong Lei's pursuit of cultivation.

I will find another way to compensate him for his help to the Holy Church during this short period of time.

Speaking of which, this kid really is a reincarnation of a peach blossom spirit. He's only been here a few days, and even the Crown Princess is captivated by him.

No wonder my well-behaved apprentice, whom I had painstakingly trained for over a decade, fell into his hands.

As her thoughts raced, the Crown Princess, having received no response for a long time, finally began to wonder: "Why isn't the Eleventh Prince speaking?"

Yun Jianyue was somewhat anxious. She could sense that the mysterious pursuer was nearby, and if they were exposed, Zu'an's situation would be in danger.

Just then, he heard Zuan's voice transmission: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

He then transmitted his voice to the Crown Princess, saying, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. Consort Bai is of noble status, and it is not appropriate for us, as her subjects, to comment on her."

Wearing a mask, Yun Jianyue, whose cultivation level was insufficient, could not distinguish whether it was a transmission of spiritual energy or the other party speaking.

"She's of noble birth?" The Crown Princess sneered, clearly displeased. "That woman may not be good at much else, but she's quite adept at putting on a pitiful act."

Yun Jianyue looked surprised. Because it was a transmission of energy, she couldn't hear what Zu An was saying. Based on the Crown Princess's words, she wondered if she was talking about Consort Bai.

However, the Crown Princess quickly recovered and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a moment and made a fool of myself in front of the Eleventh Prince."

Yun Jianyue shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Zu An pondered that the Crown Princess harbored a deep resentment towards Consort Bai. Could it be because Consort Bai had given birth to a son for the Crown Prince, making her feel threatened in the future?

However, now was clearly not the time to worry about such things. He was worried that if the Crown Princess continued to talk like this, Yun Jianyue would be exposed sooner or later, so he simply took a drastic step: "Why does the Crown Princess care so much about my opinion of Consort Bai? Are you jealous?"

The Crown Princess's fair face flushed crimson in an instant, and she glared fiercely at Yun Jianyue: "You lecherous scoundrel!"

After saying that, she turned and left, but her hurried manner made it seem more like she was running away.

Rong Mo and the others were startled by the sight and hurriedly went to greet her. They wanted to ask what had happened, but the Crown Princess remained silent, so they dared not ask and could only follow her in haste.
