With a proud smile, Jun Xu took the lead, and Feng Qin followed. The black and white figures were like a breeze, so fast that the naked eye could hardly distinguish them, and they were as quiet as drizzle, silent and without a sound.
If this was not a trap, Jun Xu and Feng Qin could enter and leave the princess’s chambers without being noticed, even if Jun Xu was wearing a snow-white nightshirt.
The magnificent princess’s bedroom was full of tension. A woman who looked like she could be a forest spirit stood quietly among the archers, her almond-shaped eyes
‘Princess, it’s been a long time.’
Jun Xu gave a faint smile, calmly lifted her skirt, knelt down on one knee, and her movements were like flowing water
‘Your servant, with a guilty heart, greets Your Highness the Crown Princess. This matter is extremely urgent. I apologise for visiting so late at night and for any shortcomings.‘
’Extremely urgent? Haha, the princess sneaked into my palace with an escort and no one noticed, and you’re apologising for any shortcomings?‘
Jun Xu looked up, his eyes clear and innocent. He blinked and said
’This… Isn’t this imperial envoy someone from Your Highness’s household? Shen Da is dressed in white, and he doesn’t seem to be trying to sneak in while it’s dark.‘
The crown princess’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Jun Xu said with a smile
’May I be allowed to rise and respond? It’s not too late for the crown princess to listen to me before deciding whether to punish me.‘
The crown princess met Jun Xu’s slightly provocative gaze with a faint smile
’The princess is very skilled in martial arts.‘
’To show my sincerity, how about you ask Feng Qin to seal my acupressure points?’
‘That’s not a good idea.‘
’If you agree, you’ll be doing Shen Da a great favour.‘
The crown princess looked at Jun Xu with a smile, indicating Feng Qin behind her
’Then I’ll do as you say.‘
Behind her, Feng Qin’s finger punctured Jun Xu without hesitation. Jun Xu lowered her eyes, and the crown princess gave a gentle wave of her hand
’Leave us. Feng Qin, help your master up.’
Using Feng Qin’s stiff arm to stand up, Junxu sighed
‘Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace.’
‘Tell me about your urgent matter.’
‘I beg Your Highness to save Shen Da’s life.’
The crown princess sat on the long couch, tilted her body slightly, and smiled lightly
“Princess, you are amusing me.’
