Chapter 62: Beauty Trap

"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Min'er is absolutely right!" Hearing Zhong Min's intention to search Rong'er, the county magistrate quickly said, "Inspect, absolutely inspect thoroughly. The prince's safety is more important than anything else."

He knew in his heart that there were many people who wanted to assassinate King Mu, so as long as it involved safety, they would naturally be extremely cautious. The inspection that Zhong Min just mentioned was just routine, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.

Seeing this, Zhong Min ignored the county magistrate and walked straight towards Rong'er. Seeing the woman looking at him with a hint of uneasiness, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I'm just checking if you have any dangerous items on you that you shouldn't be carrying."

As she spoke, she carefully examined Rong'er from head to toe. Because it was difficult to inspect some areas outside, she probed a bit. After a moment, she knew that Rong'er was indeed just a gift from the Lin County Magistrate to curry favor with Xiao Mingzheng.

"Is everything alright?" Seeing Zhong Min had finished examining Rong'er, the county magistrate quickly said flatteringly, "I'll have to trouble Miss Min'er to say a few good words for me later."

"That's natural. Your Excellency is thinking about the prince wholeheartedly, so the prince will naturally not turn a blind eye. But there are some things I have to say in advance, so please don't mind, Your Excellency." Although Zhong Min felt that any man would not refuse such a beauty, he still had to leave a way out for everything, so it was better to make some things clear to the county magistrate first.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate quickly said, "Please explain clearly, Miss Min'er. I will listen attentively."

"I'm only responsible for bringing you the person and explaining the situation. As for what the prince will do, I can't guarantee that." Zhong Min said with a hint of meaning, "After all, the final result depends on how much effort you, Miss Rong'er, put in."

"Of course, of course. I understand. I am very grateful that Miss Min'er can help me. As for the rest, it is naturally none of Miss Min'er's business." The county magistrate was a smart man. He naturally understood Zhong Min's intention. He spent two hundred taels of silver just to ask Zhong Min to build a bridge for him. The rest depended on Rong'er.

"I'm glad you understand. I'm going to be frank with you. Actually, in my opinion, how could His Majesty reject the affection of a beauty like Miss Rong'er?" Zhong Min's expression suddenly changed slightly, as if she had thought of something. Then, she immediately looked at the Lin County Magistrate and asked with a hint of doubt, "By the way, my Lord, please don't blame me for being nosy. Miss Rong'er's identity..."

Zhong Min suddenly remembered this. First, she was afraid that Rong'er was found by a brothel. With Xiao Mingzheng's status, he should not bother to play with someone else's. Secondly, she was afraid that Rong'er was not here voluntarily, but was forced by the Lin County Magistrate. If something happened, she didn't want to be implicated.

Upon hearing Zhong Min's words, the county magistrate reacted incredibly quickly, immediately understanding her meaning. He quickly assured her, "Miss Min'er, rest assured. Miss Rong'er is the daughter of a wealthy local merchant. She is innocent and has long admired and loved the prince. She truly desires to serve him."

"Really?" After hearing this, Zhong Min turned to Rong'er and asked.

When Na Rong'er saw Zhong Min asking her, she nodded shyly, looking like an embarrassed little girl. It was obvious that she did it voluntarily and did not look like she was forced.

"That's good." Seeing this, Zhong Min nodded slightly and had no other questions.

At this moment, Luo Jiaxing came out of the house, apparently having finished his work. Seeing Zhong Min and a few others standing at the side of the yard, he walked over without thinking too much.

"Why is County Magistrate Zhu here?" Luo Jiaxing glanced at the County Magistrate of Lin County standing next to Zhong Min, and then glanced at Rong'er, and he understood everything in his heart.

Hearing Luo Jiaxing's question, the county magistrate quickly saluted and replied, "General Luo, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower here, so I specially sent someone over to help Miss Min'er."

"Really?" Luo Jiaxing looked at Zhong Min and saw the girl's smile, so he said to her, "It's getting late. Why are you still outside? There's no one on duty inside right now."

"You just came out, didn't you? I'm going in right now." Zhong Min couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so he just said, "It's getting late. Go get some rest. You have a lot to do tomorrow morning."

As she spoke, she gestured to Rong'er beside her, then walked towards the house.

"Wait a minute, are you going to take her into the prince's room?" Luo Jiaxing grabbed Zhong Min. Couldn't this girl understand the intentions of the Lin County magistrate? Why would she actually do such a thing for others?

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've checked it and there's no problem." Zhong Min patted Luo Jiaxing's shoulder nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal.

Seeing this, Luo Jiaxing looked at the county magistrate beside him, then pulled Zhong Min aside, avoiding the others and said, "You're not crazy, are you? You dare to accept such a thing? Be careful, the prince will punish you to death."

"I haven't done anything wrong. Why is His Majesty punishing me for no reason?" Zhong Min said as he glanced at Na Rong'er and continued, "Didn't you see what that beauty looks like? Maybe His Majesty will reward me soon. Even I like her, so how could you men not like her?"

Luo Jiaxing was at a loss for words when he heard Zhong Min say this. He had no idea what was going on in this girl's mind. He stared at Zhong Min for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If you insist on bringing someone in, then go ahead. But don't blame me for not reminding you later."

"Okay, okay, you're so nagging. Don't worry, when the lights are turned off, the prince will be busy rolling in the sheets, and I can sleep peacefully. It's killing two birds with one stone, so why not?" Zhong Min had a sly smile on his face, and it went without saying what he was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Luo Jiaxing suddenly looked embarrassed. After a moment's pause, he said unnaturally, "I really don't know if you are a woman at all. You are a girl and you speak without restraint at all. If people hear you..."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I really have to go in. You just go and do your own thing." Zhong Min didn't want to listen to Luo Jiaxing's nagging anymore. First, she had taken advantage of him, so naturally she had to do something practical. Second, she did feel that Luo Jiaxing was too cautious in this matter.

Everyone loves beauty. Although Xiao Mingzheng usually appears cold, he is still a normal man after all. It is impossible to change his nature. It would be strange if he did not show his animal nature when seeing such a beauty.

Seeing this, Luo Jiaxing had no choice but to stop talking and shook his head slightly, watching Zhong Min and the woman named Rong'er slowly walk in. The woman was indeed good-looking, but based on his understanding of Xiao Mingzheng over the years, he was afraid that this matter would not be as smooth as Zhong Min thought.

After a while, seeing that the person had already gone in, he looked over to the county magistrate standing beside him. Seeing that the magistrate seemed to want to stay and see how the situation developed, he said, "Master Zhu is truly well-intentioned. This general has nothing to do right now, so why not stay here with you for a while."

After hearing what Luo Jiaxing said, the county magistrate suddenly felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to say. He could only bend over and smile.

After Zhong Min brought Rong'er in, he saw that Xiao Mingzheng had put down his public belongings, stood up and moved his hands and feet slightly. It seemed that he looked a little tired because he had been sitting in the carriage for too long today.

Seeing Zhong Min coming in, he was about to speak when he saw the woman following closely behind Zhong Min. He frowned slightly and looked at Zhong Min, waiting for her to explain what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhong Min naturally understood what Xiao Mingzheng meant and quickly explained, "Your Highness, this girl's name is Rong'er. She was specially hired by County Magistrate Zhu to serve Your Highness. I've checked her out and there's nothing wrong with her. Your Highness, don't worry, don't worry..."

At this point, Zhong Min suddenly didn't know what words to use. "Enjoy yourself"? That seemed a bit disrespectful. "Enjoy the wedding night"? That seemed too direct.

"What can I be assured of?" Xiao Mingzheng didn't expect that Zhong Min would act on her own and dare to arrange such things for him. His face darkened for a moment and he stared at her sharply. He really didn't know what was going on in this woman's head.

When Zhong Min heard this, an idea suddenly struck her. She couldn't help but chuckle and said with a hint of ambiguity, "Your Highness can rest assured. I'll take my leave."

After saying this, she considerately helped Rong'er to Xiao Mingzheng's side, then immediately turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, a night of spring is naturally worth a thousand gold. As a person who knows what's good for her, how could she not know this truth?

The moment she walked out and closed the room, Zhong Min seemed to hear Rong'er's gentle voice. Such a voice stimulated male hormones. Not to mention men, even she couldn't help feeling numb.

"Miss Min'er, what did the prince say?" Seeing Zhong Min coming out, the county magistrate, who had been anxious for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a flattering look on his face.

Zhong Min smiled complacently, then glanced at Luo Jiaxing, who was standing beside him with a look of disbelief, and said as if it was a matter of course, "How would I know what the prince said? Why don't you go ask Miss Rong'er yourself tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, yes, haha, look at my brain, it's so stupid!" The county magistrate was overjoyed and excited, as if he had already seen a bright future waving to him.

Luo Jiaxing was genuinely surprised this time. He asked Zhong Min, "Did the prince really keep her?"

"Of course, how could I possibly lie to you about this?" Zhong Min said with a smile, as if he had expected this a long time ago. "I reckon there must be a lot of erotic activity going on in there right now!"

"Zhong Min, can you be less reserved?" Luo Jiaxing felt very uncomfortable with Zhong Min's straightforwardness. He was really impressed by her. In front of several men, a girl like her could talk about these things so easily and comfortably.

Zhong Min heard this and said nonchalantly, "Tell me the truth, what's the big deal? If I give you a beauty like a fairy, any man would..."

"Stop it, stop it!" Luo Jiaxing suddenly interrupted Zhong Min, looking behind her and saying with amusement, "Look, who is that?"
