Chapter 46

After entering the side hall, Zhou Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the couch. Looking at the small coffee table in the middle of the couch, he glanced at Chang Xi and said,

"Chang Xi, move the table."

"Okay~" Chang likes to move the coffee table downstairs.

There was no obstacle on the bed, so Zhou Xuanqing lay down, took the scripture in his hand, and looked at Tang Mitang.

"Tang Mitang, play by yourself for a while. I'm sleepy. Let me take a nap~"

Tang Mitang looked at the dark circles under Zhou Xuanqing's eyes and nodded, "Go to sleep, I'll help watch over you."

"Okay~" Zhou Xuanqing responded. Listening to the sounds of chanting and reciting Buddhist scriptures outside, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He quickly covered his face with the book to block the sunlight outside the window and fell asleep immediately.

Chang Xi walked to the window with a smile, waved his hand and a thin quilt fell into his hands.

Afterwards, Chang Xi took off Zhou Xuanqing's boots and covered her with a blanket like a nanny.

"This Buddhist scripture is like hypnosis. When the emperor suffers from insomnia in the future, I will tie Le Wu up and bring her to the palace, and stand beside the emperor's bed to recite scriptures for her..." Chang Xi muttered to himself, sitting on a small chair and looking at Zhou Xuanqing lying on the bed.

Tang Mitang sighed and sat down in another chair. Why did it seem like Zhou Xuanqing had become even more reckless after his death? Was this seeing through life, or understanding life?

But no matter how much she indulged herself, Zhou Xuanqing never lost her social animal nature. She woke up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs, wandering around the same place every day, working year-round. Despite her high status, she was still a social animal, and a social animal that paid for her work.

Tang Mitang suddenly felt so happy. She was no longer a social animal. She ate well, drank well, slept well, and had fun every day. Although she was gaining weight and getting rounder, she was happy!

When Gena saw that Zhou Erlan and the others did not come, she ran out of the hall under the pretext of going to the toilet.

After searching for a long time, she saw Zhou Erlan and Angus talking. Gena opened the medicine bottle with her hand in her sleeve, smeared some on her sleeve, and walked over charmingly.

"Gena attends His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

Zhou Erlan nodded and said lightly: "Please stand up."

Gena stood up, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and rushed forward in panic. Zhou Erlan reached out to help her, but was hit in the face by her sleeve, and then her vision went black.

Angus covered his mouth and nose, looked at Gena with dissatisfaction, then reached out to support Zhou Erlan's sliding body and took the two to a monk's room.

The medicine was so strong that if I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have smelled it!

"Hurry up!" Angus said, then closed the door and went out.

Gena took off Zhou Erlan's clothes with a smile. Under the effect of the drug, Gena kissed Zhou Erlan's lips anxiously, trying to arouse Zhou Erlan's interest.

Then Zhou Erlan narrowed his eyes, grabbed Gena's arm, raised his hand to tear open her clothes, and hurried over.

…

About an hour later, the chanting outside stopped. Zhou Xuanqing straightened his clothes and walked out slowly.

Just as everyone was about to pay their respects, a young monk ran in. He walked straight up to Master Wu and whispered a few words into his ear.

Master Liao Wu's face turned pale with anger. Just as he was about to speak to Zhou Xuanqing, he heard a terrible scream outside.

Everyone was shocked.

The concubine hurried to Zhou Xuanqing's side. After all, no place was as safe as Zhou Xuanqing's.

"What happened?" Zhou Xuanqing asked in confusion.

Master Liao Wu shook his head, gestured to Zhou Xuanqing to invite him in, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please go and see it yourself!"

Zhou Xuanqing nodded and walked over there.

Arriving at the monk's room, Chang Xi kicked the door open and saw two people on the bed, both naked, without even a quilt. Ge Na looked at the people beside her with a pale face.

Isn't that Zhou Erlan? Why is he a monk?

"Your Majesty, my sister has encountered such a thing here, please give me an explanation!" Angus walked over and said at the right time.

Zhou Xuanqing glanced at him calmly and said in a slightly cold voice, "What does this have to do with me? Angus, I want to punish you, Xirong, for an unruly crime! As a princess, you are too willful and reckless!"

"Your Majesty, it takes two to tango. Is the man in the room innocent in what happened today? Or is Your Majesty going to protect him indiscriminately?" Angus said with his neck stiff.

After he came, he didn't look at the people inside and spoke with confidence.

Zhou Xuanqing's eyes flashed with a cruel look. Why do people say it takes two to tango? So he said coldly: "Since Xirong has no regard for his dignity, I will deal with him according to the laws of the Great Zhou! Chang Xi."

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, if anyone commits an indecent act in the Buddhist land, each person will be punished with 100 strokes of the cane if they are both willing. If one person is unwilling, the other person will be punished with 300 more strokes! If it is done with calculation, one person will definitely die!" Chang Xi said word by word.

Originally, this law was intended to protect women from being violated and to set a good example for the Great Zhou. Such incidents have hardly occurred in the past two years, but unexpectedly it was used today.

"This..." Angus was speechless. Doesn't Zhou Xuanqing care about the royal family's reputation at all?

"Chang Xi, get the person out, Tang Mi Tang, check if there's any drug-related cause."

"Yes." Tang Mitang nodded excitedly. It was the first time she encountered such a thing!

Gena was thrown out with the monk in her monk's robes. She sat on the ground and felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. She was really aggrieved. How could Zhou Erlan become a monk?

Angus was stunned when he saw him. How could he be a monk? Thinking about the laws of the Great Zhou, his face turned pale. He just hoped that the medicine would dissipate. Otherwise, Gena would be finished!

"Isn't this the monk that Miss Tang bumped into?" a young lady said in surprise.

The others took a closer look and nodded, "Indeed."

"So it is Princess Gena who likes this monk~" Someone said this, and everyone laughed when they thought of what happened in the morning.

Gena hadn't come to her senses yet and was staring at the monk in a daze.

"Your Majesty, I'd like to ask you about this matter..." Angus had just said this when Tang Mitang came out.

"Your Majesty, there is something on Princess Gena's sleeves, and there is also a bottle of the same medicine in her skirt." Tang Mitang came out with a porcelain bottle, and Chang Xi held Gena's clothes in his hand.

"Okay, Angus, do you understand? I don't want to get involved in the affairs of Xirong. Come, throw these two people in front of the King of Xirong and let him deal with them!" After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, two black shadows flashed out, picked up Gena and the other two on the ground, and slipped away.

It was so fast that Angus didn't even have time to say anything before Gena was sent away.

The author has something to say:

PS:

Gena: I logged off too quickly! @噫嘻喵

Zhou Xuanqing: Why do you still want to show off?

Gena: Where is Zhou Erlan?

Zhou Xuanqing: If you can guess, I’ll give you my head!

Tang Mitang: Are you trying to risk your life again? @周玄倾

Zhou Xuanqing: No, no, she can’t guess it with her IQ…
