After playfully fighting for a while, Zu'an pressed her hand down and asked, "I want to leave the palace. Do you have any ideas?"

In fact, he had the identity of an Embroidered-Robe Envoy, so it wasn't impossible for him to leave the palace, but the emperor was aware of these identities, so it was difficult to hide them.

"No," the Queen answered without hesitation.

Zu'an was furious: "You are the Empress, how can you not even send someone out of the palace?"

“Even if I could manage it, I can’t send you away,” the Empress snorted. “The Emperor has made it clear that he wants to keep you in the palace to prevent the news from leaking out. Sending you out of the palace would make too much of a commotion. My visit to you today was already the limit of what an Empress could do. If I help you any further, the Emperor will definitely suspect the relationship between us.”

Zu An thought about it and agreed. The emperor was such a suspicious person; if he were to become suspicious because of this, it would be a loss rather than a gain.

However, he refused to admit it aloud: "Hmph, then what use is the Empress to you?"

The queen chuckled, looking at him provocatively: "What do you think?"

The current queen is like a ripe peach, sweet and juicy.

In this situation, no man could resist the temptation, and Zuan was no exception.

Outside the door, Eunuch Lü was filled with envy and jealousy; the young man's stamina was truly remarkable.

...

When Zu'an woke up the next day, the beauty in his bed was nowhere to be found. Clearly, she couldn't have stayed there for long and had left in the middle of the night.

He didn't feel empty at all; it's actually quite good for mature men and women to get what they need in this way.

"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Zuan was taken aback; things were actually quite lively here.

"Please come in!" He lay back down on the bed, continuing to feign weakness.

The door was quickly pushed open, revealing a pair of long, shapely, and straight legs.

Normally, Zuan would have been full of praise, but now that he was in the Sage's Time, he found everything utterly boring.

"Oh, it's Principal Sister." Zu An was a little surprised because the person who came was Jiang Luofu. How did she end up in the palace?

"What's wrong? You don't seem very welcoming," Jiang Luofu said with a smile.

Zu An replied, "How could that be? I just didn't expect you to be able to enter the palace."

“My identity is special; to some extent, I can represent the National Academy and even the Chancellor, so I wasn’t stopped from entering the palace,” Jiang Luofu explained. “I just visited the Crown Princess and came to see you on the way.”

As she spoke, she turned around and said with some surprise, "Princess Consort, why don't you come in?"

Zu An was taken aback and subconsciously looked towards the door. Had Bi Linglong come over too?

A beautiful young girl stood gracefully at the door, but her face no longer had the usual insincere smile that won people over; instead, it seemed as if it were covered with a thin layer of frost.

Anger from Bi Linglong: +22 +22 +22...

Zuan was startled, wondering what he had done to offend her, why she was so resentful so early in the morning.

"It might be inconvenient for me to come in, so I'll just stay here," Bi Linglong replied indifferently, without even glancing at Zu An.

Jiang Luofu didn't take it to heart. Given the other party's special status, it was understandable that she might have some reservations about a male subordinate coming to her room so early in the morning.

Zuan felt it was inconvenient to talk while lying down, so he got out of bed and tried to sit up and lean against the bed.

Seeing his movements, Jiang Luofu hurriedly went to help him, after all, in her eyes, he was still a seriously injured person.

Smelling the fragrance on the other person, Zu An secretly compared them. In fact, Jiang Luofu was also a mature and sophisticated woman, but there was still a clear difference between her and the Empress.

The Empress's fragrance was rich and luxurious, while Jiang Luofu's fragrance was relatively more subtle.

Just then, Jiang Luofu wrinkled her nose: "Huh, what's that smell?"

Upon hearing this, Bi Linglong instinctively turned her head to look at him.

Zaun Waterfall Khan, he fought with the Queen all night and hasn't had time to clean up the mess yet.

If we get caught, that would be terrible.

Despite a moment of panic, he remained outwardly calm: "Oh, it must be the smell of medicine used by the Imperial Hospital."

"Oh, this medicine tastes so strange." Jiang Luofu was a little puzzled, but since she had no experience with this before, she couldn't quite tell for a moment. She glanced at Zu An and couldn't help but say, "You are indeed badly injured; you look so unwell."

Upon hearing this, Bi Linglong also took a closer look at him. She saw that Zu An had dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and looked somewhat weak and frail.

"It's alright, nothing serious. With some rest, I should recover." Zu An thought to himself that anyone who had fought with the Empress all night and had a lot of their life force drained by her would probably turn into dregs.

Speaking of the Empress, she was at the peak of her womanhood, and her fighting power was truly astonishing, making her a veritable juice extractor.

Jiang Luofu had no doubts, but Bi Linglong was very puzzled. She secretly transmitted her voice through her inner energy: "What's wrong with you? You were fine yesterday, how come you're like this today?"

Zu An quietly replied, "Yesterday I pretended to be unconscious, and the emperor wanted to question me again, so Zhu Xie Chixin had the imperial physician give me some potent drugs to wake me up. This must be a side effect."

He admired his own wit, realizing he had found a plausible reason so quickly.

Bi Linglong felt a mix of heartache and anger: "Are you stupid? You can't just take those kinds of medicines randomly!"

“Zhu Xie Chixin was watching from the side at the time, so he had to eat,” Zu An explained. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, he’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”
