When the Crown Princess saw Zu An so close to her, her eyes were initially glazed over, as if she were dreaming. She subconsciously reached out to rub her eyes, but the action made her feel a chill.
She subconsciously looked down and saw that she was lying naked in his arms, and her expression changed instantly.
Ah~
She cried out and immediately covered her mouth, the sound abruptly stopping.
Clearly, even in this critical moment, she hadn't lost her mind. She knew that if her scream attracted people in, Zu'an would definitely be sentenced to death, and she would be finished too.
At the same time, without the slightest hesitation, he kicked him in the stomach.
Anger from Bi Linglong: +999 +999 +999...
Zu'an, of course, wasn't stupid enough to let her kick him. He reached out and grabbed her foot, sighing, "Princess Consort, we've clearly been set up!"
The Crown Princess's face turned bright red. "You don't need to tell me, of course I know I've been set up!"
Anger points from Bi Linglong: +888 +888 +888...
"Let go!" the Crown Princess whispered, her expression filled with shame.
Her kick was an instinctive reaction; she never expected her foot to be caught.
Neither of them is wearing clothes now, so this position is as indecent as it gets.
Zuan involuntarily glanced down, then his expression froze, and he awkwardly let go of her hand: "Sorry, sorry, it wasn't on purpose!"
The Crown Princess's face was practically dripping blood. At this moment, her heart was churning and roaring. She hurriedly pulled the blanket next to her to cover herself, but her delicate collarbone and rounded shoulders were still exposed, looking incredibly alluring.
"Did you do anything to me just now?" After her initial anger and panic, the Crown Princess gradually calmed down. She understood that the most important thing was to resolve this matter, and she could settle the score with him later.
Zuan hesitated for a moment: "I don't know either."
"You don't know?" The Crown Princess's blood pressure spiked immediately.
Anger from Bi Linglong: +666 +666 +666...
Zuan said, "I didn't wake up much earlier than you either. I was also feeling a bit dazed. I think I just touched you and hugged you, but I don't think I did anything else... You don't know for sure whether I did anything or not!"
"Touched and hugged? And you still say you didn't do anything?" The Crown Princess's eyelids twitched. Actually, she had just asked while feeling around in bed and there were indeed no signs of being violated. But why did she want to hit him so much after hearing his words?
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and looked around: "Where are my clothes? Quickly, bring me my clothes."
Her current condition is clearly not suitable for looking for things around, otherwise she would be seen naked.
Zu An turned to the side and started searching. Because he stood up, the Crown Princess's gaze sharpened, and she thought to herself, "Is this guy a donkey?"
After a quick glance, Zuan shook his head: "There are no clothes."
Since others are trying to frame them, why would they allow them to put on clothes?
It seems I woke up early, before the other party's evil scheme could be launched.
Wait, why did the Crown Princess wake up early as well?
But now is not the time to worry about that. He hurriedly looked around and asked, "Your Highness, do you know where this is?"
It doesn't seem to be in the main hall from before, but rather in a courtyard. Could it be that they've already left the palace?
Impossible. If they wanted to frame someone, they would definitely do it within the palace.
Upon hearing that there were no clothes, the Crown Princess's face turned deathly pale. She instinctively replied, "This is not the Hundred Flowers Palace. That vile Consort Bai made me afraid to be in my own place."
Having lived in the palace for many years, she was very familiar with the specifications, ranks, and styles of those buildings. The materials used for the furniture and the patterns on the window frames around her were not up to the standards of a concubine.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside: "It's over there! I think I just saw someone suspicious heading that way."
Zu An was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar; it was the voice of Shi Jun who had made things difficult for him at the palace gate that morning. This guy was actually going to play this big? He even dared to mess with the Crown Princess.
At this moment, he suddenly realized why Shi Jun dared to openly target him without any regard for the influence of the Eastern Palace behind him. It turned out that he had planned to take down the Crown Princess as well from the very beginning.
Why was he so bold as to touch the Crown Princess?
The Crown Princess's face was deathly pale, and she was on the verge of tears: "It's all over, it's all over..."
She was completely distraught. When those people barged in and saw the two of them naked, no amount of explanation would be of any use.
Even if she says nothing happened, no one will believe her. Moreover, the royal family will definitely make her die silently in order to cover up the scandal, and even the Bi family will face annihilation.
Zu An's hair stood on end. He knew he was also at a critical moment. The emperor had wanted to cut off his hand when he found out he had hugged the crown princess. If he knew that he and his daughter-in-law were so open with each other, he would definitely grind him to dust.
Just then, he heard a faint voice beside him, its tone extremely anxious: "Run! I'll hold them off for a bit!"
It was a woman's voice, but he didn't recognize it; he probably hadn't heard her speak before.
His first reaction was that this was yet another trap set by the other party, luring him out to walk right into their snare.
However, he immediately dismissed this speculation. Given their current state, it would be enough for those outsiders to simply barge in; there was no need for any further action.
But who in the palace would help me?
