Seeing that Zhen Shan was still terrified and seemed unwilling, Jiang Ming frowned and said, "Since you are unwilling, then I will have Eunuch Li send you to the Court of Justice!"

"No! This servant is willing!"

Zhen Shan was terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Excellency, please don't send me to the Court of Justice! I'm willing to give myself to you, please! But... what if the Princess finds out? I... I..."

Jiang Ming was too lazy to listen to her nonsense, so he grabbed her and dragged her towards the imperial garden behind the palace.

"Your Excellency, what brings you here?"

"We're right here..."

Jiang Ming dragged Zhen Shan behind a rockery.

"Your Excellency, this...this won't do! It's broad daylight, and there's not even a place to hide..."

"What are you afraid of? It's dark now, what do you mean by broad daylight?"

Jiang Ming smiled and picked up Zhen Shan, placing her on a large rock.

"Your Excellency, this is utterly embarrassing..."

Shh! Take off your clothes! Stop talking nonsense!

......

Half an hour later, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Jiang Ming pulled up his pants with satisfaction, while Zhen Shan, like a banana leaf ravaged by a storm, slowly sat up, supporting himself with his weary arms.

This girl was right; she was indeed inexperienced in such matters.

Jiang Ming had already noticed it; she had been subconsciously covering something with her clothes—it must have been a letter that was about to be sent out.

I just haven't exposed her yet, for fear of affecting her happy state.

"What's this?"

"Your Excellency, no!"

When she saw Jiang Ming rummaging through her clothes, Zhen Shan immediately tried to protect him, but she was no match for Jiang Ming's strength.

Jiang Ming pulled the letter out in one swift motion.

This... Zhen Shan was so frightened that he froze on the spot, forgetting even to put on his clothes!

By the moonlight, Jiang Ming read the contents of the letter: Yan intends to destroy my Ji Kingdom, quickly seek help from Qi!
