After leaving Baihua Palace, Zu'an went straight home. Since the Crown Princess had given him leave and the case of the Embroidered Robe Envoy had been handed over to Zhu Xie Chixin, he was happy to be free of any trouble.
The gains at the Hundred Flowers Palace this time were extraordinary. Many doubts in my heart during this period were completely resolved, and most importantly, a friendly alliance was established with Consort Bai.
Well, I must say, Bai Fei smells really good.
...
Lost in thought about various issues along the way, I found myself back home before I knew it.
Hearing the noise at the door, several beautiful figures came out to greet them:
"Azu!"
"Brother-in-law!"
"Brother Zu!"
Zu An was immediately delighted when he saw that it was Chu Chuyan and her sister, as well as Murong Qinghe, who was inseparable from Chu Youzhao and Meng.
"I just received news that you seem to have been assassinated. Are you injured anywhere?" Even though she could see Zu An standing there safely, Chu Chuyan still kept checking him over.
"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Zu An felt a warmth in his heart. Sure enough, his wife knew how to take care of him. Those women outside were all more alluring than the last.
At this moment, Murong Qinghe said, "I heard from the army that all the camps in the suburbs are currently undergoing reorganization. I heard that siege crossbows were used in this assassination attempt, and there seem to be marks on the scene of the assassination attempt where someone was hit by a siege crossbow bolt..."
"A siege crossbow!" Chu Chuyan's expression changed. She naturally knew how powerful a siege crossbow was. "Where exactly are you injured? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing her almost crying expression, Zu An felt even warmer inside: "Don't worry, luckily I dodged in time. I was only grazed and suffered a minor injury, but I'm almost fully recovered now."
He didn't want to recount what happened, lest Chu Chuyan worry unnecessarily. Besides, there were Murong family girls present; if word got out that he had been pierced by a crossbow bolt but recovered so quickly, people would definitely become suspicious, and a whole bunch of them might come to investigate him.
Chu Chuyan was still worried and hurriedly pulled open his clothes: "Let me see."
Murong Qinghe, standing to the side, blushed slightly and turned her face away in embarrassment.
I never expected that Zuan, who looks so skinny, would be so strong inside.
In contrast, Chu Youzhao stared shyly at his body, her fair cheeks flushed red, yet she was reluctant to look away.
After finally confirming that he had no injuries, Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness."
At this moment, Chu Youzhao suddenly exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, why do you smell so good?"
Murong Qinghe sniffed it too: "It smells quite nice. I've never smelled such a pleasant fragrance before."
Chu Chuyan's eyes turned dangerous as she looked at Zu An with a half-smile: "This smells like another woman?"
