Chapter 1937: You Don’t Want the Crown Prince to Know About This Either, Right?

“Your highness, that is the crown princess’ territory, and not even the crown prince can enter. This servant cannot just barge inside and invite Sir Zu, can I?” Eunuch Lu said with a troubled expression. After witnessing Zu An’s power today, he knew that if he truly offended the other side, he risked dying without even realizing how it happened. But when he thought of that strength, he actually felt a mysterious sense of excitement.

Only a man that powerful would be worthy of subduing a woman like her highness! Only a man like that could win Eunuch Lu's approval wholeheartedly. The stronger and more courageous Zu An was, the more he could completely win over the empress in both body and heart, and the more Eunuch Lu would be satisfied. If Zu An had been as weak as a chicken, Eunuch Lu would only be filled with disdain, to the point of even considering getting rid of him, because that kind of person wasn’t fit to approach the woman he had loved his entire life.

Liu Ning said in annoyance, “I didn’t say to force the issue. Do you not know how to just wait outside the Eastern Palace? What, do you think Bi Linglong will make him stay the night?”

“It is still your highness who has the most clarity. This servant will head over right now," Eunuch Lu said, his eyes lighting up. After saying that, he hurried over to the Eastern Palace with light and quick steps.

When she saw the grin on his face and the flushed excitement on his cheeks, Liu Ning couldn't help but release a cold snort. The two of them had been master and servant for so many years that she naturally knew his strange fetishes well. Out of respect for how loyal he had been all these years, and how he had remained infatuated with her all this time, she hadn't really paid it any mind. Sometimes, she even played along to satisfy his special cravings.

Of course, that was all because she truly felt that Zu An was outstanding. Whenever she thought about the scorching hot sensation that accompanied him going inside, her cheeks would gradually turn red. Ever since she had begun to spend time with him, her withered and dismal heart seemed to have received a fresh shower of spring rain. She had started coming back to life and producing tender buds again.

When she thought of those things, she immediately ordered the maids to add some more milk and fresh flowers to the bath. She wanted to greet Zu An in her most wonderful condition.

…

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace, Bi Linglong was clinging to Zu An like a koala. Her satin-like skin glowed enchantingly under the candlelight. Her body shook slightly as she powerlessly brought her fists down on Zu An’s chest. She said, “You bad guy… Even though we already blocked all sound from escaping, you still didn’t say anything on purpose.”

Zu An moved his finger gently down her back and said, “When I saw how you were pursing your lips, I wanted to see just how long you could endure.”

“You’re a bad guy~” Bi Linglong replied, looking at him with a completely red face. In the end, she had still given in and embarrassed herself so much. She leaned against Zu An’s embrace and acted like a spoiled child for a bit longer. Eventually, however, she said with a sigh, “Ah Zu, do you think I’m a bad woman?”

Even though she didn’t share any feelings with the crown prince and they were only married in name, they were still married, after all… Earlier, she had actually been doing those things while her real husband was outside… Even though she'd keenly sensed that Zu An only got even more excited, and that she had also gotten more into it, once her head cooled she couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

Zu An couldn't help but laugh. “Why would I? I like you so much that I don’t even know how I can properly express it, so why would I think you were bad?”

Besides, in his previous world, there had been countless keyboard warriors praising 'bad women' as being unstoppable, and many fictional works portrayed 'bad women' in dazzling ways.

“Really?” Bi Linglong replied. She felt happy for a moment, but she suddenly felt strange. She looked down and said with a blush, “Ah Zu, whatever you want… You can do it.”

“Will you be alright?” Zu An asked doubtfully. Her body was already as soft as cotton, and her eyes had almost rolled back and she'd almost fainted.

“I’ve rested enough,” Bi Linglong said. She suddenly moved closer to his ear and asked in embarrassment, “Can you put on… Golden Token Eleven’s clothes?”

Zu An's eyes widened. He had never expected her to like uniforms.

Bi Linglong was a bit alarmed when she saw his expression. She said, “It’s okay if you don’t put it on too, but since you’re the same person, I actually kind of like…”

“No problem!” Zu An quickly replied as he set her down. Then, he took out Golden Token Eleven's clothes and put them on before asking, “Do you want me to wear the mask?”

Bi Linglong pursed her lips, then voiced her agreement extremely softly. Then, she buried her face in her blankets and didn’t dare to look at him again.

Zu An chuckled and put on the mask. He was about to say something when he heard a knock outside.

“What is it?” Zu An called out in annoyance. These people really were something; they just never stopped coming!

“Crown princess and Sir Zu, the Palace of Peace’s Eunuch Lu has come to request a meeting,” Rong Mo said.

Eunuch Lu had come to express the empress’ intentions, so she didn’t dare to overlook him the way she had the crown prince. She could only go over to report the information.

“Have him wait,” Zu An said impatiently.

“Understood!” Rong Mo replied in surprise.

From start to finish, she had never heard the crown princess say anything, as if she'd tacitly allowed Zu An to take charge of the conversation. Still, she didn't suspect that anything was wrong. The Eastern Palace was already used to Sir Zu’s presence and his special role. Additionally, now that he had revealed his strength, people respected him even more.

She ran over to Eunuch Lu and said apologetically, “Eunuch Lu, Sir Zu and the crown princess still have more matters to discuss. We’ll have to trouble Eunuch Lu to wait a bit.”

“There is no issue. I can just wait outside,” Eunuch Lu said with a big smile.

He was a bit curious as he looked at the brightly lit room inside. What were those two talking about for so long? If it were anyone else, he would have already probed around with his divine sense to investigate. But since Zu An was the one inside, he didn’t dare to offend him, and withdrew outside the courtyard to wait instead.

Sir Zu really is something. The wonderful empress is waiting for him, so just how could he hold himself back?

If I had his abilities, I would stay in the empress’ palace every day and never come out.

…

Meanwhile, inside, Bi Linglong’s eyes finally recovered their usual clarity. She said, “The empress is looking for you. Are you not going to head over?”

Zu An walked over and said, “Not even the celestial emperor himself could stop me from keeping the crown princess company if he came here right now.”

Suddenly, a trace of bashfulness and flirtatiousness appeared in Bi Linglong's eyes. She asked, “Sir Eleven, just what is the reason behind you barging into this crown princess’ palace today?”

Zu An was shocked and happy. He had never expected the usually proper and inflexible Bi Linglong to be so forward. She was already getting into roleplay? He naturally wouldn’t spoil the fun and completely threw himself into the act, replying, “I greet the crown princess. I heard that there was an assassin that infiltrated the Eastern Palace, so this humble one came to offer my assistance.”

Bi Linglong pursed her red lips and replied, “There was indeed a despicable assassin who came into the palace not long ago. From start to finish, he penetrated this one several hundred times…”

Zu An was speechless. In that instant, he almost broke character. This woman could even have been a first-class actress in his previous world, right?

He replied, “May I ask where that assassin penetrated the crown princess? This humble one is proficient in traditional medicine and can help the crown princess with an examination.”

“There is no way this one can just let Sir Eleven look at the places that assassin attacked, but this princess can roughly describe my symptoms. My entire body feels weak and powerless, and my body feels a bit hot. There are a few other symptoms that are too embarrassing to admit. Since Sir Eleven is proficient in traditional medicine, can you help me check my pulse?” Bi Linglong replied.

She felt a bit embarrassed, but she also felt a novel and stimulating sensation. She had felt estranged from Zu An for some time, but now, she decided that couldn't continue. They had to properly interact with each other to dissolve any misunderstandings. And what could be better than to create this kind of situation between lovers to boost their feelings for each other? That was why she had been completely invested from the very start. Perhaps because of the impression Golden Token Eleven had left on her in the past, she had actually started this game of her own volition.

“Men and women must not touch hands when they give or receive things. The crown princess’ status is special, and this lowly one doesn’t dare to offend you," Zu An said.

Bi Linglong felt a bit annoyed as she looked at him.

You’re actually saying you don’t want to offend me? Did you already forget what you just did to me moments ago?

She took a deep breath and said, “It is fine. The crown prince is not here, and the servants who are usually at my side are not around, so I can only ask Sir Eleven for your help.”

“This humble one has a special way to relax and invigorate the body. I can help the crown princess in that way first,” Zu An replied.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Sir Eleven. You should come over here first,” Bi Linglong said as she waved her hand toward him. In that instant, she returned to being the beautiful and dignified crown princess.

“The crown princess must lie down first. This method will first activate the acupoints on your back and shoulders," Zu An said.

Bi Linglong bit down gently on her red lip. She looked at the masked Golden Token Eleven in front of her and felt her heartbeat becoming faster, asking, “Will it hurt?”

“It might hurt a bit at first, but it will soon become better.”

“Alright then. Sir Eleven is not permitted to treat this princess with disrespect.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

…

A while later, a voice cried out in alarm, “Stop! Sir Eleven… Where are your hands moving?!”

“Crown princess, please do not worry. This is merely part of that special treatment process.”

“Really?”

“Really. I have never lied before.”

“Then please continue, Sir Eleven.”

…

A while later, a voice asked in embarrassment, “Sir Eleven, does the treatment really require me to be in such a strange position?”

“Crown princess, you currently have some nefarious heat attacking your body. You need fever-reducing acupuncture to cure your ailment.”

“Why have I never heard of such a thing from the imperial physicians before?”

“How could those imperial physicians compare to me? Crown princess, please lower your waist a bit; right, just like that. Crown princess, your flexibility seems to be quite excellent.”

“Sir Eleven speaks too highly."

Immediately after, a cry of alarm filled the air, accompanied by a slightly exaggerated struggle. A voice exclaimed, “What are you doing? Take it out! I don’t want to be treated anymore! Can I choose not to be treated anymore?”

“This decision is no longer up to the crown princess. You don’t want the crown prince to know about this either, right?”

“Mmm… I understand…”

…

After an unknown amount of time passed, their game finally ended. Zu An changed back into his usual attire, and Bi Linglong huddled in his arms, too embarrassed to raise her head. Finally, she couldn't hold herself back and shouted, “Pervert!”

Zu An chuckled and said, “Your performance earlier seemed to be even more professional than mine.”

“You’re not allowed to talk about it anymore!” Bi Linglong cried, covering his mouth. She was really embarrassed as she said, “Hurry and leave; you’ve already spent too much time in my room. It’ll be bad if those by the Palace of Peace start suspecting us.”

Zu An knew that she was easily embarrassed. Now that she was clear-headed again, Bi Linglong was too embarrassed to face what they had just done. He didn’t tease her further and gave her a peck on the lips, saying, “Get some rest.”

Then, he left while laughing.

Bi Linglong buried her entire body under her covers, moaning, “Ahhh… That was way too embarrassing!”

She suddenly became alarmed. She stuck out her head and stared coldly at Rong Mo, asking, “Why did you come in?”

Rong Mo had a conflicted expression as she said with a sigh, “Young miss, being with Sir Zu like this is just way too dangerous."
