Zuan's expression was playful: "What do you think?"
Mi Li was taken aback at first, then a blush appeared on her pretty face: "You brat, you dare to flirt with me? Believe me or not, I'll castrate that filthy thing with one stroke!"
Anger from Mi Li: +111 +111 +111...
Zuan laughed and quickly ran forward.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gates, the other embroidered-robed messengers, seeing how fast he was running, all changed their expressions and hurriedly drew their swords, surrounding him.
"Boss, are you alright?"
"Are people from the Prince's mansion chasing you?"
...
Zuan felt a warmth in his heart. Although the people outside thought the Embroidered-Robed Envoy was sinister and terrifying, after getting to know him over this period of time, he found that many of them actually had warm hearts.
"Don't worry, this is still under the emperor's nose. What can the Qi Prince's Mansion do to me?" Zu An glanced at Mi Li, who felt his gaze, glared at him fiercely, and then turned into a wisp of smoke and returned to the Tai'a Sword. Clearly, she was too embarrassed to chat with him again for a while.
Zu An smiled, and on his way back, he quickly gathered his men and assigned them tasks. When they learned that the case had taken a turn for the better, they were all invigorated: "Don't worry, boss. With our Embroidered Robe Envoy's intelligence network in the vicinity of the capital, as long as he appears at the casino, he will definitely be caught!"
Zuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After parting ways with them, he changed back into his original appearance and went straight to the palace.
I haven't had a chance to roll call today yet; I can't let anyone with ulterior motives suspect anything.
After arriving at the East Palace, Pu Duandiao and Jiao Sigun whispered to him as they passed by, "Brother Zu, be careful. The Crown Princess seems to be very angry because you were late today."
Zu An cupped his hands in greeting, gave the two a grateful smile, and then quickly went inside to request an audience with the Crown Princess.
I ran into the Crown Prince as I passed through the hall. He didn't play Gomoku today. It was clear that although the game was simple, it was still a bit beyond his ability. He lost interest after playing it a few times.
He, Xiao Xu, and Xiao He seemed to be playing a game of selling vegetables at a market, with him acting as the vegetable seller. He priced all kinds of vegetables at ridiculously low or ridiculously high prices, and Xiao Xu and Xiao He didn't dare to correct him, so they could only smile and play along.
Zuan sighed inwardly, realizing that he had really put these two young eunuchs in a difficult position.
He arrived at the study, where the Crown Princess was dealing with a vast amount of official documents, something that should have been the Crown Prince's job.
"Greetings, Crown Princess?" Zu An bowed.
The Crown Princess remained expressionless, still writing something with the official document in hand, as if he didn't exist.
Zuan knew she was angry and planned to give him the cold shoulder, so he didn't get annoyed and just quietly watched her.
With her willow-leaf eyebrows, starry eyes, delicate nose, and cherry lips, it must be said that the Crown Princess is indeed a first-rate beauty. Even while working there, she still presents a beautiful picture.
Although she didn't look at Zu An, the Crown Princess's pretty face gradually blushed, clearly indicating that she could feel his gaze on her.
She coughed lightly, waved her hand to signal the maid beside her to step back to the door, and then glared at Zu An with annoyance, saying in a telepathic voice, "What are you looking at?"
Anger from Bi Linglong: +55 +55 +55...
Zu An smiled slightly: "Of course, the Crown Princess is a feast for the eyes. Just quietly staring at you is the ultimate relaxation and care for the eyes."
The Crown Princess was raised in seclusion from a young age, receiving the strictest etiquette. She was chosen as the Crown Princess at a young age, and no one dared to speak to her casually. She had never heard such sweet talk from experienced men of later generations. In an instant, she lost her composure: "We agreed before that we would not mention that matter again. Do not think that you can use it to blackmail me and give rise to any unrealistic thoughts."
Zuan shook his head: "Your Highness, you misunderstand. I had no other meaning. It was just a simple praise of beautiful things."
The Crown Princess's heart skipped a beat, but she feigned composure and said, "Don't think that just because I'm saying nice things I won't hold you accountable. Why were you late today? Do you know I urgently needed you to do something..."
She then recounted how she had met Gold Medal Eleven and how she was worried he might find out something.
"It's infuriating that you weren't there when it mattered most!"
She couldn't let anyone else investigate this matter, and the thought made her grit her teeth in frustration.
Zu An calmly replied, "The reason I was late is because I was investigating this matter. Your Highness, you can rest assured. Eleventh Gold Medal didn't find anything about us. He went to Ou Wu's residence but found it empty. Ou Wu's family had already left the capital. Then he had a conflict with the gatekeeper Murong Luo at Chongwen Gate... After that, he went to Prince Qi's residence..."
After hearing this, the Crown Princess was excited: "So that's how it is! This matter is indeed related to Prince Qi. Hmph, we can't let such a good opportunity slip by."
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly frowned, her eyes becoming incredibly deep as she stared at Zu An: "Why do you know so much about Gold Medal Eleven? Do you have some connection with him? Or are you two... the same person?"
