Bi Linglong felt wronged, confused, and somewhat angry. She finally found an opening and asked, "What are you doing?"
But Zuan didn't respond to him; all that remained were the other's burning gaze and heavy breathing.
Her carefully chosen beautiful dress quickly turned into pieces, like butterflies fluttering in the sky.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she was even a little worried that someone had disguised themselves as Zu An.
However, she quickly realized that the person on her body was indeed that person. After all, the two had already been intimate in the secret realm and she was very familiar with him.
Once she confirmed his identity, she felt even more aggrieved. She had waited for him here specifically, and this was how he treated her?
Zuan was filled with negative emotions. He recalled the information he had found out before. Although he told himself that his background had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but think of how Zhao Hao and his son had bullied Meng Chao's orphan and widow.
His heart was filled with a fierce and ruthless energy, especially when he thought that the woman in front of him was the Crown Princess of the Zhou Dynasty. He had an urge to make her cry, so the whole process was quite brutal.
Bi Linglong is like a lone boat on the vast sea, constantly subjected to the ravages of storms and torrential rains.
...
He didn't know how much time had passed when Zu An suddenly felt something cool on his face. He looked up and saw two lines of clear tears sliding down Bi Linglong's cheeks.
Zuan was startled, wondering what he was doing.
Even if there is a grudge, it is against the Zhao family father and son, what does it have to do with her?
Moreover, those were just guesses before. It's not even certain whether I am a descendant of the Meng Dynasty. I don't know what got into me that made me so obsessed with the idea.
He gently wiped away Bi Linglong's tears and said apologetically, "I'm sorry!"
"Finished venting?" Bi Linglong looked at him coldly. She could tell that he had only lust for her, not love.
Zu An didn't know how to answer for a moment. Bi Linglong had already pushed him away and tried to find some clothes to cover her body, but the largest piece of her dress was no bigger than a palm, and it couldn't cover anything at all.
At that moment, she felt a warmth spread across her body, and a garment was draped over her shoulders.
Zuan buttoned up her clothes for her and said apologetically, "I wasn't in a good mood just now, I'm sorry I hurt you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bi Linglong coldly interrupted him: "I don't want to hear this now. You should leave. I don't want to see you again."
Zu An opened his mouth as if to say something, but Bi Linglong's cold and beautiful eyebrows furrowed: "If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"
Zuan knew that saying anything more at this point would be futile, so he silently turned and left. When he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "I didn't have time to help you recover your vitality just now. After you go back, you should properly refine what I left in your body, otherwise, prolonged depletion can easily lead to chronic illnesses."
Upon hearing this, Bi Linglong, who had reached the entrance of the secret passage, trembled and a hint of shame and anger flashed across her face: "Get out!"
After returning to her palace, she hadn't walked far when she suddenly stopped, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, her anger growing stronger. That bastard!
It took her a while to recover, and then she called for a maid to come in: "Prepare hot water for me, I want to bathe and change."
"Yes." The maid was about to leave when she suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, why is your hair such a mess?"
Bi Linglong said calmly, "It's probably because I slept in a mess just now."
"I must say, the Crown Princess seems even more radiant and beautiful than usual after taking a nap..." the maid praised, her gaze suddenly falling on the princess's clothes, and she froze.
As one of the palace maids serving Bi Linglong, she naturally knew that she had been wearing a different set of clothes before. More importantly, she was familiar with every piece of clothing worn by the Crown Princess, but the one in front of her was not the Crown Princess's.
Being in the palace, countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant. Her pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "This servant will go and prepare a bath for the Crown Princess."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but a gust of wind swept past her ear. She instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but it was too late. She slowly fell to the ground, and there was no sign of life left.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Rong Mo rushed over upon hearing the news, and what came into view was the palace maid's corpse. She was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly looked up at Bi Linglong on the bed, "Are you alright?"
Bi Linglong lay on her side on the bed, tightened the blanket around herself, covered her clothes, and said calmly, "She plotted something and I have already sentenced her to death. Clean up her body, and then investigate her background to see which force sent her."
"This servant failed in her duty and did not notice in advance." Rong Mo broke out in a cold sweat. The thought of what would happen if something happened to the Crown Princess was unimaginable, so she hurriedly apologized.
"Go down, I'm tired." Bi Linglong waved her hand.
"Yes!" Rong Mo took the maid's body out and cleaned up the scene as well.
Bi Linglong's gaze remained cold and aloof. The palace maid's behavior just now seemed too normal; she only hesitated for a moment before she managed to cover it up.
Clearly, an ordinary palace maid would never have such composure under pressure; only a highly trained spy possesses it. Therefore, she acted without hesitation, determined not to let anyone else know her current state.
Of course, even if the maid wasn't someone else's spy, she still had to die because she had just seen things she shouldn't have. Being in the royal family, she would never show mercy.
