Ji Fengyao looked at the cramped courtyard they had chosen, and the people outside had surrounded it in layers. If there was no one to help her, and if she were just an ordinary bandit, she would really be trapped here today, with no one to turn to for help.

Hearing what Qin Mama said, Ji Fengyao chuckled softly, "Your Majesty has great courage. Helping me at this time is like snatching chestnuts from a fire. I accept this favor."

Granny Qin nodded, her heart pounding with shock:

No wonder the Empress helped this bandit at this time.

Listening to what this bandit is saying, he doesn't seem like the crazy and unruly person he is in front of others at all.

She deceived the entire court, even the Emperor and Empress. How powerful she is!

Shang Nanjue and his personal servant Zhong Ding were outmaneuvered by the empress and left behind the crown prince. They could only watch helplessly as the empress's men led the young female bandit into her trap.

Zhong Ding couldn't help but feel anxious: "Your Highness, why don't we send someone to inform the Emperor?"

"No need," Shang Nanjue said thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I have a feeling that this female bandit was too compliant today. There might be a trap. It would be good to let the Crown Prince go and find out what's going on."

“But…” Zhong Ding looked puzzled. “Your Highness, if we don’t stop it, but if the Emperor succeeds, then we’ll be in deep trouble!”

Shang Nanjue looked indifferent and scoffed, "I had no intention of getting involved in this. If the Crown Prince dares to take this step, will that female bandit be willing? And how could the Ninth Prince be so easy to deal with? It would be best if the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince fought to the death, so that I could reap the benefits."

Zhong Ding: "..."

His Highness's heart is truly as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the sea;

He clearly said before that if he got that female bandit, she might be a great help. Why is he now going back to being the fisherman?

Shang Nanjue glanced at Zhong Ding, whose face was full of confusion, and remained noncommittal.

He enjoys the feeling of leaving others bewildered; it gives him a sense of exhilaration, like "You idiots are only fit to carry my shoes."

The crown prince was inside the room at this moment, and he was in a very good mood.

Ever since that special "interaction" with the little female bandit in the lake in the palace, he often hums a few lines in his dreams, like "shaking his head to the left and right." No woman has ever given him this feeling before. He's practically bewitched; it's so exhilarating.

Once this is all done, he'll marry that little bandit girl, and the days to come will be amazing!

I heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Shang Dongyang quickly jumped onto the bed and wrapped himself completely in the quilt.

The two old women at the door took Ji Fengyao's bundle from Granny Qin, their old faces expressionless: "Granny Qin, that's enough. A fragrant bath has been prepared inside. Please come with us, Princess Chonghe, to bathe and change."

Granny Qin handed over the bundle and looked at Ji Fengyao meaningfully, saying, "This old servant can only escort the princess this far. Princess, please take a bath and change your clothes."

Ji Fengyao stretched lazily, impatiently grabbing the gold hairpins and jade ornaments from her head, and said in a roguish tone, "Alright, stop nagging. I don't need you gossipy old women to serve me. You all wait outside. I'll go in and wash myself. I'll call you if I need anything."

Hearing her say that, the two old women were more than happy.

They knew exactly what was inside!

After sending Ji Fengyao and her bundle into the house, the two nannies couldn't help but smile and quickly slipped away.

The incense in the room was burning very heavily, and a large amount of muscle relaxant was added to it!

They were servants before the ancestors, and were extremely pure;

I don't want to be lying in my room listening to live sex shows!
