"Get lost, I need to heal my injuries." Yun Jianyue sternly chased him away. If someone had said this to her in the past, she would have slapped them to death long ago.
Unfortunately, after spending time with him these past few days, she gradually got used to his style of making random jokes all the time.
However, she couldn't bring herself to offend the senior expert for the time being, and since she couldn't kill him, she had no choice but to drive him away.
Zu An left the courtyard with a smile. He did not go to find the Crown Princess as Yun Jianyue had told him to do so under the identity of Gold Medal Eleven. Instead, he changed into the attire of the Crown Prince's attendant.
Arriving at the new East Palace, the Crown Prince's tutor had been injured and unable to attend classes, so the chubby Crown Prince was happy to play games with the eunuchs in the palace.
Zu An glanced at it, then went to find the Crown Princess.
Having received the message, Zu An went inside and found the Crown Princess resting her chin on her hand, gazing blankly at the horizon outside the window. A gentle breeze blew by the window, and one could vaguely see the fine downy hairs on her face, a unique feature of a young girl.
Zuan sighed inwardly. This woman must be quite exhausted to have such a husband.
He coughed lightly to indicate his arrival. The Crown Princess snapped out of her reverie, crossed her hands over her lower abdomen, straightened her back, and resumed her usual dignified and composed demeanor: "What do you want with me?"
Zu An glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs around him with a troubled expression: "I have something important to discuss with the Crown Princess in private."
The Crown Princess frowned immediately, scrutinized him for a while, and then waved her hand to signal the palace maids to leave: "If it is found later that you do not have anything of sufficient importance, do not blame me for punishing you."
The palace maids and eunuchs left, but the gate remained open. Clearly, palace rules prohibited the Crown Princess from being alone in a room with another man.
“I do have something important to say to the Crown Princess…” Zu’an, worried that it was a secret and that someone outside might overhear, took a few steps forward to close the distance between them.
The Crown Princess looked somewhat displeased: "What are you doing? Just stand there and talk."
This woman is quite wary.
Zu An then asked, "Does the Crown Princess know about the Cheng Xiong case that has been making headlines recently?"
