Rong Xi naturally understood what he meant.
But she never expected that her mental power would be useless to him, and she remembered what he said behind her.
"Ninth Princess, it was you who was masked that night, wasn't it? What were you doing in the Fifth Princess's palace?"
There were many people around at the time, so she didn't ask immediately, but now she also wants to find out.
"Let them go down first."
"Ninth Princess, I'm not discussing this with you."
Seeing him like this, she knew he would not give up until she saw it with her own eyes, so she stood up, walked to a eunuch, tapped him lightly on the shoulder, and then pointed at Shen Zean and said, "Kill him."
The eunuch originally thought that his life might be in danger because of the situation today. He had been sweating profusely since he came in, and his calves could not stop shaking.
When Rong Xi slapped him, he felt the danger even more, but suddenly his eyes dimmed. After hearing Rong Xi's order, he rushed towards Shen Ze'an desperately, wanting to strangle him to death.
However, before he could get close, Shen Ze'an threw a teacup at him, knocking him to the ground and making him unconscious.
Rong Xi didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he was disappointed because he didn't succeed, and his expression showed it clearly.
Shen Zean saw it this time, and it was even more shocking than the last time.
He did not care about the Ninth Princess's intention to order people to kill him. He waved his hand and several eunuchs withdrew respectfully.
"Why, Du Gong doesn't want to watch anymore?"
"The Ninth Princess is indeed quite capable, but if you are so capable, why have you been confined to the cold palace for so many years?"
He wanted to know where her extraordinary ability came from?
"Don't worry about that, Governor. But why do you remember what happened that night?"
"Maybe you're not good enough."
What Chen Ze'an didn't tell her was that he had done this kind of training countless times. As one of the most trusted confidants of the previous emperor, countless royal secrets and military essentials had to pass through his hands. In order to prevent him from betraying and to keep secrets from the enemy, he naturally experienced much more than others.
He didn't want to say it, and Rong Xi wasn't angry.
But she walked to Shen Ze'an, getting closer and closer, so close that their eyes met, almost kissing each other.
She placed her hand on Shen Ze'an's shoulder, feeling his instantaneous murderous intent and the stiffness of his body, Rong Xi decided to end the battle quickly.
"Tell me what your purpose is in bringing me here."
If it were an ordinary person in the past, the person opposite would have confessed everything by now. However, Shen Ze'an's eyes only trembled slightly before returning to clarity.
"Ninth Princess, I have already said that none of your tricks will work on me."
Rong Xi did not give up and wanted to test him again. She moved closer, put one leg between his legs, and wrapped her arms around his neck, using her mental strength to the extreme.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in bringing me here?"
This time, Shen Ze'an was obviously not as relaxed as before. His brows were furrowed, his hands clenched into fists, as if he was resisting something in his body, and his lips opened and closed several times.
When Rong Xi thought he had finally succeeded, his eyes became clear again.
"It's no use what I say, and you still won't get off me."
Rong Xi saw his resistance to her and did not dare to go any further, for fear of really angering him.
She retreated to her seat, picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
"Whatever the Governor wants me to do, I'll kill the Emperor and let you do it."
Shen Zean almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He had thought about the old emperor countless times in the past, but several plans failed.
Now he had no interest in that position any longer, but he didn't expect the Ninth Princess to say it so casually.
"That's really treasonous."
He likes it.
"What's so treasonous about that? That position belongs to the most capable. If you are interested, this princess is not incapable of helping you."
"Help me, how can you help me, you are a dodder that depends on the royal family for survival..."
Shen Ze'an suddenly stopped. After what she had just experienced, she didn't look like a dodder at all, but more like a thorn.
"Why did the governor bring me here? Could it be..."
Rong Xi walked to his side, lifted a strand of hair from the side of his ear, and twisted it between her fingers.
"Could it be that the Governor wants to find me as his concubine?"
Shen Zean had never thought of this before. He thought he had already visited Tiangang, but he didn't expect that saving the princess would also be the same. So...
"Princess Nine is overthinking." He pulled out his hair.
"The Ninth Princess's value is not to be a food for this Governor. I think the Ninth Princess also knows that people from Qing Kingdom are coming. If nothing unexpected happens, the Ninth Princess may be able to become the Imperial Concubine of Qing Kingdom."
Rong Xi had a cold face. Perhaps it was because of the original owner's personality, he couldn't help feeling disgusted when he heard about Qing Kingdom.
"Then don't worry, Governor. Even though you didn't tell me, you brought me to your house because you must have something for me to do. But I'll also tell you, Governor, that if I don't want to do something, I won't do it even if you kill me."
.
Rong Xi followed the young eunuch to the residence that had already been prepared. It was really strange that he had not seen a single maid or old woman since he arrived.
I originally wanted to wash up and go to bed early, but now there is one most important issue that needs to be figured out.
Is Shen Ze'an a eunuch?
"How do we see this?"
“System, can you transfer the image of Shen Ze’an bathing to me?”
The system was speechless. [Rong Xi, this picture is mosaiced when we see it. How can we transfer it for you?]
"You are so useless."
The system took a deep breath and calmed down. She was still young and didn't keep a tight rein on her words. Calm down.
“Otherwise, let’s go and peek at Shen Ze’an taking a bath at night.”
system【……】
What's wrong with Rong Xi? I've never seen her so perverted in the past.
I don’t think you should go.
"Why? If we don't go, how can we know if he is a real eunuch?"
System [The guards at the Governor's Mansion are comparable to those at the Imperial Palace. If you go there, you'll just be walking into a trap.]
"How can you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? It's all because of the crappy mission you took. If he wants a child, I'll give him one. How can I give him one if he doesn't pursue me?"
The system is completely speechless. Rong Xi's quality needs to be improved.
System: [Anyway, I suggest you don't go. The quest subjects in this world are not easy to fool, and your progress isn't enough to make him kill you if you peek at him taking a shower.]
Rong Xi thought it made sense, but...what was there to be afraid of?
So at night she took out the night clothes from the spiritual space, put them on and was about to go out.
The system couldn't persuade her and could only help her keep an eye on her surroundings.
System [Rong Xi goes this way, there are more guards there]
After many twists and turns, she finally arrived at the gutter outside Chen Ze'an's house. She waited for a long time until she was almost frozen, but he still didn't ask anyone to bring water. Finally, when she was about to give up, she saw him enter the bathroom.
The candlelight flickered, and Shen Ze'an's clothes were taken off piece by piece, until only his underwear was left.
