Zhou Yuan shrugged indifferently, while Han Luoxue looked at the two of them suspiciously, especially at Princess Yaoxiang, who had several hickeys on her neck.
Her skin was so vibrant and fresh, and looking at her complexion, Han Luoxue's gossip-loving heart burned fiercely.
She had a feeling that something had happened between the two of them!
"Zhou Yuan...you two?" Han Luoxue looked at them with a gossipy expression.
"The princess needs your help, so I brought her here to complete my mission. You two can talk now!"
Zhou Yuan didn't offer any further explanation, and Han Luoxue looked regretful.
After everyone left, Han Luoxue beckoned to the princess, signaling her to come over: "What's wrong with you? How come you're with Zhou Yuan?"
You should know that Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jie are both major troublemakers in the Zhou family!
Both of them were quite attractive and had decent appearances.
They're not young anymore, but none of them want to get married, which makes the adults extremely anxious.
"Your Majesty the Empress..." Princess Yaoxiang opened her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
At the time, I only thought this young man was good-looking; I never imagined his family was so prominent.
Thinking about her current status, Princess Yaoxiang felt that the road ahead was somewhat bleak.
"Don't cry, tell me what happened!"
Before Princess Yaoxiang could even speak, she started sobbing. Her pitiful appearance made Han Luoxue feel a little sorry for her.
"Hey, don't cry. That was Zhou Yuan. Don't worry, if he bullied you, I'll make him take responsibility!"
"He's still single, not married yet. You don't know how much his family is urging him to get married, but he's not in a hurry at all!"
Princess Yaoxiang's crying subsided a little when she heard that the man was not yet married.
But when she thought about other people's status and position, she felt worried about her future.
At least in the past, Zhou Yuan never wanted to get married. How could she, a princess from another country, possibly change his mind? Moreover, the Zhou family is different from other families. They are real royal relatives, and their requirements for a daughter-in-law are much higher. Is her status suitable?
Seeing that Princess Yaoxiang had finally stopped crying, Han Luoxue cautiously asked, "Princess, is there something you need from me?"
They probably didn't just come here to cry, did they?
Princess Yaoxiang sobbed, her eyes red and swollen. She recounted what had happened in the dungeon in broken sentences, then ran out. She had originally intended to find Han Luoxue, but she was feeling too unwell to wait, so she ran out on her own and accidentally ended up on Zhou Yuan's carriage.
Han Luoxue was indeed quite surprised. She couldn't believe such an outrageous thing existed in the world.
"Your luck..."
For a moment, Han Luoxue didn't know what to say.
Ouyang Zhen once told her not to trust Princess Yaoxiang too much, as he always felt that Princess Yaoxiang had other motives.
Now that she has accidentally had a relationship with Zhou Yuan, Han Luoxue doesn't know what to do.
"What exactly do you think your father meant?" Han Luoxue frowned slightly; she was more concerned about the Western Emperor.
This old man is truly ruthless; he's so cruel to his own daughter.
"This..." Princess Yaoxiang hesitated for a moment, looking timidly at Han Luoxue: "Your Majesty, actually I don't know what my father means, but I think I should go see him. He doesn't know what's going on outside, and he probably won't have the chance to know. So when I see him, I want to say that I'm with the Emperor..."
Han Luoxue frowned, knowing that the two of them hadn't actually had a relationship, but she still felt a little uncomfortable knowing that it was only being told to outsiders.
"Can!"
"Agree to whatever conditions he has that you can! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything else!"
"As for Zhou Yuan, don't worry. I'll talk to him later."
Actually, it's not appropriate for Han Luoxue to talk to him. If all else fails, she should ask Ouyang Zhen instead.
"Your Majesty, I know that Lord Zhou is innocent. In fact, I can pretend that this never happened!"
Princess Yaoxiang lowered her head: "I know my identity, and it is not appropriate for me to be with Lord Zhou!"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue shook her head disapprovingly: "You're wrong about that. What's wrong with it? The Zhou family is very open-minded. As long as Zhou Yuan's side is fine, no one else matters!"
"But Zhou Yuan..."
Thinking about this cousin, Han Luoxue was a little confused about his meaning.
The two of them were in the carriage... She believed that if Zhou Yuan was unwilling, he would definitely find a way to get out of the carriage!
But he didn't object, which suggests that he wasn't entirely without feelings for Princess Yaoxiang!
...
After Zhou Yuan returned home, he looked unwell.
He went straight to the study, locked himself in, and didn't come out.
After Zhou Jie returned home, she went to see him.
Unfortunately, he was in his study and wouldn't see anyone.
Zhou Jie scratched her head suspiciously, and in the end, she could only leave first.
"I don't know what's wrong with my older brother. He's even disappeared without a trace," Zhou Jie complained.
Madam Zhou also noticed her son's unusual behavior. She called over the servant who was driving the carriage. The servant lowered his head, his face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
When pressed, the servant only said one sentence: "I don't know anything. If you want to know anything, you can ask the young master."
The lady is terrifying, but...
The young master is even more frightening. She still wants to live. She doesn't know if she will be silenced by the young master if she tells him anything!
Seeing the servant's resolute and fearless demeanor, Madam Zhou became even more curious!
Zhou Jie was extremely anxious!
She remembered that her elder brother came from the palace, so...
Han Luoxue should know, right? Zhou Jie's eyes darted around. Originally, she didn't want to go to the palace at all, but now that she thought of her elder brother's situation, she took off running.
"Zhou Jie, where are you going?"
Mrs. Zhou glared at her daughter. Neither of her children was easy to deal with. It was one thing for her son not to find a wife, but her daughter was the same!
My son used to never lock himself in his study, but today he did!
"I... I'm going out for a bit. I've already talked to them!"
Zhou Jie dared not say she was going to the palace. If she called out "Sister Xue'er," her mother would chase her with a stick for ages.
Come back soon!
This daughter was used to going out and having fun, so Madam Zhou didn't bother to say anything to her.
Anyway, my daughter knows what she's doing; she'll come back after playing outside for a while.
"Okay, I'll be back later!"
After saying this, Zhou Jie took a very quick step.
Even as she walked to the gate, she glanced back at her mother, afraid that her mother might chase after her.
