Despite her complaints, the Crown Princess was also a very clever person. She immediately realized what was happening and started crying and shouting, trying to hit him: "You heartless bastard! You used to say how much you loved me under the moonlit flowers, but now look what you've done!"
Zuan secretly gave a thumbs up. The Crown Princess was indeed not just a pretty face; she immediately realized what was going on and knew how to cooperate.
Zhu Xie Chixin frowned, looking at Zu An with some disgust. Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. What's more, these two are not even husband and wife.
This guard probably knew that this was a crime that could lead to the execution of nine generations of his family, so naturally he wanted to find a way to clear his name. But could he really clear his name?
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
"Which class are you in? Who is your supervisor?" Zhu Xie asked in a deep voice.
"I'm from the Imperial Guard, and my superior is Lord Qu Zhishang," Zu An replied. Having spent quite some time in the palace recently, he could answer these questions off the top of his head.
Zhu Xie looked to the side, where an embroidered-robed messenger nodded to him, indicating that Qu Zhishang was indeed a member of the Imperial Guard.
Zhu Xie Chixin was relieved, then looked at the Crown Princess beside him: "And you, which palace are you from? Which nanny took care of you?"
The Crown Princess lowered her head and answered cautiously, "This servant is from Chuxiu Palace, and I was taken care of by Granny Liang."
Having been in the palace for so long, she was more familiar with these situations than Zu'an.
Zhu Xiechixin's subordinate nodded, indicating that there was indeed such a person, and he had no more doubts: "Men, take them to Eunuch Wen and let him decide their fate."
He has no time to deal with their messy affairs right now. He just received news that the Crown Princess and Zu An seem to be having an affair. He must find them immediately and suppress all news as soon as possible.
"Yes!" Two embroidered-robed messengers accepted the order and led the two to Eunuch Wen's side.
Zu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was betting on this, betting that Zhu Xie Chixin was not in the mood to care about anything else. Moreover, as the emperor's secret agent, he was in charge of matters of utmost importance. Such illicit affairs between palace guards and eunuchs were naturally under the jurisdiction of the Grand Eunuch.
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but secretly admire Zu An's brilliant move. No one would suspect that someone would impersonate a guard or palace maid to have an affair, since that was a capital offense and might even implicate the family.
But with this series of actions, it seems like they're doomed on the surface, but they can actually use the Embroidered Robe Envoy to lead them out of this encirclement.
At that time, two Embroidered-Robed Envoys alone will definitely not be a match for Zuan and me... Well, I'll just be an extra; Zuan should be able to handle it by himself.
It truly was a case of being put in a life-or-death situation and then surviving!
She admired him even more. You really can't judge a book by its cover with Zu An's usual carefree and irresponsible appearance. No wonder the eldest daughter of the Chu family wanted to marry him. He is indeed a top talent.
Zhu Xie Chixin had already walked dozens of meters when he suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and turned around to look at the palace maid's back.
As the leader of the Embroidered Robe Envoys, he handled countless cases, developing a level of insight far superior to that of ordinary people.
Although this woman had an ordinary appearance, she had a graceful figure and walked with a straight back, exuding an innate noble air, which made her seem unlike an ordinary palace maid.
"etc!"
Upon hearing Zhu Xie Chixin's voice from behind, Zu An and the Crown Princess's expressions changed drastically.
The two immediately realized that something must have gone wrong.
The Crown Princess hurriedly gave Zu An a meaningful look, suggesting that since Zhu Xie Chixin was still dozens of meters away, the two of them should fight back and desperately escape.
Zuan shook his head imperceptibly. This distance was nothing to a half-step Grandmaster; running ahead was completely pointless.
The Crown Princess bit her lip, completely panicked. Only when she saw that Zu An remained calm did she calm down slightly.
Zhu Xiechixin led his men to the two men and waved his hand: "Interrogate them separately."
The embroidered-robed messengers immediately understood; they were already very familiar with this kind of thing.
Although they were unfamiliar with game theory, their extensive experience in handling cases told them that even the most closely cooperating prisoners would reveal various flaws when interrogated separately.
Zu'an and the Crown Princess's hearts pounded. They hadn't even had time to exchange their statements. If they were to question each other separately now, wouldn't they be exposed immediately?
But there was nothing they could do now, and they could only let the embroidered-robed messengers lead the two of them to opposite sides.
Zhu Xie Chixin personally interrogated Zu An: "What was that palace maid's name?"
Zu An's heart sank. He realized that the Crown Princess was facing the same problem, but everything had happened too hastily to pay attention to these details.
He secretly controlled the jade cong, intending to use ants to form characters on the ground to notify the Crown Princess.
However, he immediately abandoned the idea. Firstly, even if he solved this problem, what about the more complex problems that would follow?
Besides, the Embroidered-Robe Envoys are all very perceptive and have keen eyes and ears. If I were to use ants to inform the Crown Princess, it would be difficult to hide it from them. In doing so, I would only expose one of my secrets.
Zhu Xie Chixin's face darkened: "What, is this question so difficult to answer?"
At this moment, his aura had locked onto Zu'an, as if he would immediately attack at the slightest provocation.
Zu'an replied, "Her name is Tian Xiao'e..."
Just then, a figure flashed by not far away. Zhu Xie Chixin, with his cultivation level, suddenly turned around and looked: "Who!"
The man didn't answer and quickly sped away into the distance.
"Take them to find Eunuch Wen, the rest of you follow me!" Zhu Xie Chixin immediately flew off to chase after them. Although the two palace guards and maids having an affair were a bit suspicious, they shouldn't be too much of a problem overall. On the contrary, the figure that flashed by just now seemed to be a woman. Could it be Yun Jianyue from before?
