Zuan hesitated for a moment, then briefly recounted his investigation into her death, how he almost got discovered, and how he had to hide in her coffin.
“No wonder you recognized me at a glance,” Nanxun said in shock. Finally, she bowed to him gracefully. “Thank you for clearing my name.”
Zuan couldn't help but say, "Although I have found out the truth about your murder, I may not be able to clear your name."
“I know,” Nanxun smiled sadly, “The Emperor will most likely not make this public.”
She was a highly trained secret agent, so she naturally understood the intricacies of the matter.
“However, I still want to thank you, young master,” Nanxun said with a beautiful smile. “Back then, when you were hiding in the coffin, in a sense, we were sharing a bed.”
Zuan: "..."
Sensing his tense body, Nanxun chuckled: "Young master, don't worry, I serve you willingly, not out of any other reason."
Zuan made a last-ditch effort: "I just feel like something's off."
“Young master, you don’t need to move, I can do it.” Nanxun smiled at him, then swept her long black hair to one side, slowly squatted down, revealing her fair and jade-like neck.
...
The next morning, when Zu An left, Gao Ying and Pei You had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw him, they hurriedly surrounded him. The reserved Pei You winked and asked, "How was it?"
Even the usually composed Gao Ying perked up her ears, her eyes filled with gossip.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said nothing happened?" Zu An's expression was strange. Nothing really happened between the two of them yesterday. He wasn't that lustful. He just kindly gave the other party some of his essence. However, the other party was so insistent on using his essence.
"Unless you're not a man." The two men clearly didn't believe it; they had witnessed Nan Xun's charm firsthand, how could anyone resist her allure?
Zu An thought to himself, "Of course I'm a man, but unfortunately your goddess isn't human."
"Fine, don't believe me then." He clearly didn't want to delve deeper into the topic.
After parting ways with the two, Zu'an went straight to the palace to report to the emperor about what happened last night. It wasn't that he wanted to be so eager, but rather that such matters would lose their timeliness if delayed.
At the palace gate, they unexpectedly ran into Prince Qi, who was on his way to court. The prince said in surprise, "What a coincidence! I heard that you had a good time last night. Why are you up so early? Did that courtesan not serve you well?"
It was clear that the events that happened at Hongxiuzhao last night had spread. Although the two had their own ulterior motives, they had formed an alliance in private, so he had to exchange pleasantries to get closer to them.
Zuan's expression was extremely strange at that moment, after all, Nanxun had been the other party's concubine before: "No, she is great, she knows how to serve people very well."
