Nanzhi was completely stunned by his hug.

What shocked her even more was that this guy actually kissed her without regard for the occasion.

He held her waist with one arm and gathered her hair with the other, tentatively exploring deeper and deeper.

His lips were soft and carried the fresh scent of apples. He kissed her gently, as if trying to please her, his touch careful not to upset her.

Nan Zhi, who had originally intended to beat him to death, paused for a long time before being completely captivated by him and began to respond willingly.

He seemed even more excited by her response, and his grip on her waist tightened.

Nanzhi was even more unruly, and while they were kissing, she started to tear at his clothes.

As she was stroking it, she touched something that felt like someone had poured cold water on her, instantly bringing her back to her senses.

She pushed him away abruptly and, amidst his bewildered gaze, fiercely wiped her red lips.

"I don't like men. If you ever try to seduce me like that again, I'll kill you."

After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, she quickly slipped through the window and left.

Watching her figure disappear quickly.

Chu Yi touched the corner of his lips, his eyes as black as ink.

Nightblade could hardly bear to look. He never expected his master to become like this, and judging from the situation, his master seemed to be the weaker one...

After waiting for a while, he dared to approach. "Master, what should we do with this man?"

That sleazy man was still lying on the ground.

Chu Yi's lips curved coldly, his eyes devoid of any warmth. "Send him to Princess Chu's room."

Since the Princess Consort of Chu is so eager to tarnish her reputation, then she should experience what it feels like to lose it.

Princess Chu secretly had someone do this, and even ordered the maid who served Nanzhi to stand guard by her side, so that she could "coincidentally" see it on the way back with Chu Rui after the banquet.

Not seeing the maid on the way back, she dared not act rashly and had no choice but to go back with Chu Rui.

On the way, Chu Rui missed Nan Zhi and went directly to her courtyard.

Princess Chu had no choice but to return to her own courtyard.

She reeked of alcohol, which was nauseating. She sent someone to find the man and ordered people to help her take a bath.

Unexpectedly, halfway through her bath, the maids around her disappeared. She turned around and saw a naked man lying on the ground, which made her scream in fright.

The man was awakened by her scream.

The man didn't recognize the Princess of Chu. He only saw that the woman in front of him was beautiful. He was a little confused and thought she was the target of his mission. Fearing that others would find out, he quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Stop yelling, or I'll kill you."

As he spoke, his hands were not idle either, and he started moving them around.

The Queen Consort of Chu was in pain from his recklessness, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried to call for help, but he strangled her with his belt, leaving only her sobs and the man's panting.

Nan Zhi had intended to take advantage of Chu Rui's drinking at the banquet to sneak into his room to check if he had any spirit rhinoceros horns, but she couldn't find any no matter how hard she looked. Just as she was about to continue looking, she heard a sound coming from outside.

It's Chu Rui.

Since she wasn't in the room, Chu Rui didn't see her and ordered people to search for her everywhere.

Nan Zhi did not linger any longer. The moment Chu Rui entered the room, she quietly climbed over the wall and left.

When Chu Rui sent people to search for Nan Zhi, they discovered something significant.

That is, the Princess of Chu was having an affair with a man, and the battle was so intense that the bathtub broke.

The belt around the Queen Consort's mouth had fallen off, but she had long been tormented by the man to the point that she no longer had the strength to scream.

Upon seeing this, Chu Rui's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This was the first time he had ever been cuckolded, and anger made him lose his mind: "Guards, beat these two bitches to death with sticks!"

"Your Highness, you mustn't! The Princess Consort cannot be killed..." If the steward hadn't stopped them, Chu Rui would have skinned them alive.

The Princess Consort of Chu cannot be killed, but that man must be killed.

Nan Zhi finally found two perfectly shaped apples, intending to bump into Chu Rui, but then she overheard this amusing story.

She never expected that the man would end up going to the Princess of Chu.

She subconsciously thought of Chu Yi.

Did this guy do it for her again?

That's completely unnecessary.

However, with Princess Chu helping her stall, and Chu Rui being in a fit of anger, he couldn't think of her for a while, so Nan Zhi went to other places to check on the whereabouts of the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn.

Unexpectedly, after the Princess of Chu regained consciousness, she insisted that she had been framed, and in the ensuing back and forth, Nan Zhi was implicated.

The personal maidservant of the Princess of Chu sought justice for her.

“Your Highness, I saw this man secretly following the South American after the banquet. She must have brought him here to frame the Princess.”

"During the time since the Princess's incident, the South American has also disappeared without a trace. It's highly suspicious, Your Highness..."

Soon, several people testified on behalf of the Queen Consort of Chu.

Chu Rui couldn't help but become more suspicious.

He was about to order people to continue the search when he saw Nanzhi arrive late.

"What happened?"

Nan Zhi walked in with a puzzled look on her face. She first bowed to Chu Rui, then glanced at the people around her, her brows furrowing slightly.

Chu Rui asked coldly, "Where did you go?"

Nan Zhi explained, "Your Highness, after I left the banquet, I walked for a short while and then my maid disappeared. I'm afraid of the dark and don't know the way very well, so I wandered around in the outer courtyard until I finally found you..."

The Queen Consort of Chu's personal maidservant angrily retorted, "What a joke! The South American's explanation is far too far-fetched!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi looked at Chu Rui and smiled helplessly: "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, then so be it."

When Chu Rui saw that she was angry, and since he had been completely captivated by her lately, he couldn't bear to make her angry.

"Alright, I believe you."

"Your Highness, please don't say that. The Princess's reputation is very important, but is my reputation not important?" Nanzhi glanced at the Princess of Chu kneeling on the ground with her head bowed. "If Your Highness truly believes in me, then investigate the facts and give me justice."

"Very well, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly."

After saying that, he glanced at the trembling man on the ground, "Drag him away and use every form of torture on him. I don't believe he won't confess."

"And the maid who serves the South Americans, bring her here, it's the same method."

Upon hearing this, the Princess of Chu's eyelashes trembled, and she nervously tugged at her sleeve.

Nanzhi glanced at her indifferently.

She's heard far more stories and seen more of the world than she's eaten salt; trying to pull this on her is simply overestimating yourself.

The matter was quickly investigated and found out that it was all the work of the Princess Consort of Chu, who wanted to humiliate Nanzhi. However, she ended up losing more than she gained.

Chu Rui was furious, but not wanting the matter to spread and embarrass him, he completely neglected the Princess Consort of Chu and even forced her to drink a large bowl of safflower, making her unable to have children again.

When he wanted to find an opportunity to formally take Nanzhi as his concubine and have her bear him children, he did not expect that Nanzhi's illness would become more and more serious.

The doctor who had examined her sighed, "Your Highness, perhaps only the legendary rhinoceros horn, which is said to cure all diseases, can save her life."
