The Crown Princess smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trust. You really have been wronged this time. It was all thanks to you that we were able to get through this difficult time. But how exactly did you manage to get past the Grand Master of Ceremonies?"
This was what she was most curious about: what kind of person was the chief priest, since no one had ever been able to lie to him in all these years?
When she first learned that the chief priest was going to come and question her in person, she was filled with despair, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Zuan gave an ambiguous reply: "I have my own methods, so the Crown Princess doesn't need to worry."
He didn't say that he felt the Grand Master was secretly helping him, but he felt that something was hidden behind it and he had to investigate it himself.
The Crown Princess looked at him with a somewhat dazed expression. Although this man usually seemed unrestrained and dissolute, she never expected him to have so many secrets, and that he could even get away with the Grand Master of Ceremonies.
If she had only viewed him differently before, by now she had imagined him to be unfathomable.
“By the way,” Zuan asked curiously, “why didn’t the High Priest ask you? I was afraid something might go wrong on your end.”
The Crown Princess thought to herself, "As expected, this guy is indeed not afraid of the Grand Master's questions. I wonder what his trump card is. I need to find an opportunity to investigate him." She continued, "After all, I am the Crown Princess. The Emperor also has to consider the face of the royal family. If your interrogation results are negative, then I will naturally be fine. But if your interrogation finds problems, all that awaits me is a white silk noose."
Hearing the rare sorrow and lingering fear in her voice, Zu'an knew she was truly terrified this time, and instinctively comforted her, "Good people are always blessed by heaven. The Crown Princess is destined to be the mother of the nation, and will surely be protected by the heavens."
The Crown Princess smiled sweetly: "You have quite the sweet tongue."
Zu An suddenly remembered that day in the artificial hill, when the two of them hugged and kissed each other to avoid Zhu Xie Chixin, and blurted out, "The Crown Princess's mouth is still sweeter."
The Crown Princess had just spoken when she also remembered what happened that day, and a blush crept onto her pretty face. However, after hearing his words, her face immediately darkened: "Lord Zu, I don't remember what happened before. I hope you can forget it as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good for either of us. We don't know how many eyes are watching us now, and we can't afford to make any more mistakes."
Zuan also regretted it a little, and readily said, "Okay!"
The Crown Princess stood up and said, "Come with me now."
"What are you going to do?" Zu'an asked, somewhat taken aback.
"Of course, we should go and settle accounts with the culprits behind this!" A chilling killing intent flashed in the Crown Princess's beautiful eyes.

Sigh, I got the news today that a very important opportunity for an author was rejected because of my previous book. I feel a bit down.
The previous book was actually very popular online, even reaching the top ten of Baidu's Novel Popularity Chart. Even now, with many pirated apps promoting it on Douyin and using it to drive traffic, it still ranks highly on those app charts.
Actually, if this were a normal book, the author would have already been promoted, received a raise, and married a rich and beautiful woman... But as everyone knows, due to the subject matter of the previous book and some well-known reasons, it was removed from many official channels, which led to the book being very popular, but almost all of them were pirated copies, and I didn't make much money.
The only gain is a lot of loyal readers who have always supported me silently. No matter how slow the updates were in the past or when I started a new book, everyone has stayed with me. Many people even come to Zongheng to support me.
So overall, I'm still satisfied with the previous book.
But today's events have dealt me a very heavy blow, and I'm even thinking that I might only be able to make a name for myself if I change my pen name.
I heard that another author I admire, Ji Cha, was also forced by various circumstances to prepare to change her pen name for her next book. Perhaps this is the fate of authors in our genre.
I don't know if I should change jobs in the future. Right now, I feel desolate and confused, and my mind is in turmoil.
I'm taking a day off today, this is the only update, I need to rest.
