The adults standing nearby looked completely bewildered: "That's it?"
Murong Tong was the most anxious and subconsciously blocked his way: "Lord Chancellor, have you finished asking your questions?"
"Yes." The chief priest seemed to be sparing with his words.
Murong Tong grew anxious: "But isn't this a bit too hasty? Why don't we ask more questions in more detail?"
The chief priest glanced at him indifferently: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Murong Tong felt a chill run through his body for a moment, and even had difficulty breathing. He was startled and hurriedly apologized, "I wouldn't dare!"
Jiang Boyang, who was standing nearby, also spoke up for him, saying, "Please don't take it to heart, Your Excellency. That's just his honest and straightforward personality."
The chief priest nodded slightly: "I've asked everything I needed to ask. The person is innocent. Release him."
After saying this, he didn't wait for these people to stop him. He took a few steps, and his figure turned into nothingness, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Zaun was also shocked at this moment, because he had not used the "I have a friend" skill just now, because the question asked by the other party was very strange.
The chief priest did not ask him whether he was with the crown princess that day, or whether the two of them had taken off their clothes, but instead used an ambiguous question.
Are you and the Crown Princess innocent?
Although to most people, this problem seems unremarkable.
However, as the person involved, he was well aware of the intricacies of the matter, as everyone has a different definition of innocence.
In other people's eyes, his relationship with the Crown Princess was anything but innocent, let alone being naked together.
But as a time traveler, it's actually quite normal for strangers to touch each other's bodies; it's only when they reach third base that things are truly not innocent.
Therefore, he could answer this question directly without using any skills, and the other party confirmed his innocence without asking any further questions.
If it were an ordinary person, they might doubt the other person's professional competence or that it was a momentary oversight.
But the other party is the Grand Master of Ceremonies, one of the three people with the highest cultivation in the entire court, with the most transcendent status. How could such a person make such a low-level mistake?
The Grand Master is secretly helping me!
But why would he help me?
After careful consideration, Zuan was quite certain that he had never seen him before, and that he had only heard of his name from these geniuses.
There's no reason for them to help someone as insignificant as him. Am I overthinking this? Is it all just a coincidence or an accident?
He was conflicted when Guo Zhi ran over and said with a smile, "Those officials have gone to report to the Emperor the results of the Grand Master's interrogation. It shouldn't be long before Brother Zu regains his freedom. Congratulations in advance."
Zu An smiled slightly and said, "I must thank Brother Guo for taking care of me during this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have had a very difficult time."
Guo Zhi felt a little embarrassed: "Brother, you're too kind. To be honest, I almost let an assassin get you, and I've been feeling really guilty ever since."
Zuan said, "It's indeed difficult to guard against someone who is prepared to attack someone who is unprepared. By the way, was that assassin found later?"
Guo Zhi replied, "We found him, but unfortunately he had already committed suicide when we found him. We couldn't find anything about his interpersonal relationships either, so it became an unsolved case."
"I see..." Zuan seemed thoughtful.
Not long after, someone came to inform him that he could be released from prison.
As Zuan stepped out of the cold, dark cell and felt the sunlight outside, he was momentarily disoriented.
Sigh, he was a model citizen in his past life, but how many times has he ended up in jail in this world?
"Brother Zu!" Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun led several guards over with smiles. "We heard you were released from prison, so we came here to welcome you back."
Zu An felt a warmth in his heart: "Don't you guys have to be on duty today?"
"The Crown Princess gave us a holiday," Jiao Sigun replied.
Zu An was taken aback. He figured that sending them to greet him was also the Crown Princess's idea. However, after what had happened, she couldn't openly send people over, so she resorted to this method.
This little vixen still has some conscience; it wasn't for nothing that I saved her.
Park Duan-diao then leaned over and winked, saying, "Brother Zu, shall we head to the brothel? Let's vent all our bad luck on those young ladies."
Ever since I learned the word "little sister" from him, he's been using it with great enthusiasm.
Zuan chuckled to himself. This guy was right about his surname; he had an extraordinary passion for this kind of thing.
The group headed straight for the palace gate. Zu An seized an opportunity to whisper, "Has the Grand Master gone to the East Palace?"
Park Dan-diao shook his head: "No."
Zu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had been worried that something might go wrong with the Crown Princess. Since the Grand Master of Ceremonies did not interrogate her personally, she was intelligent enough to handle any other troubles.
"How is the Crown Princess doing lately?" Zu An then asked.
Park Duan-diao chuckled: "It's only because I understand you. If it were anyone else who heard you ask that question, they might have guessed something."
Jiao Sigun retorted, "What do you know? Brother Zu is utterly loyal. You yourself have filthy thoughts, but I won't think otherwise."
Park Dan-diao was used to bickering with him and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He continued, "Don't worry, the Crown Princess has been staying at home lately and is fine. It's just that she seems to be in a bad mood."
Zu An thought to herself, "No wonder she's in a good mood after going through something like this."
A group of people walked out of the palace gate arm in arm, discussing which girl they should choose from at the brothel later.
Now that Qiu Honglei and Yun Jianyue have both left, Zu An has no real interest in going there.
No matter how alluring those courtesans may be, they still pale in comparison to the beautiful women who are close to me.
