Chapter 618: Phoenix Trap (6)
Shortly afterwards, Senior Servant Lan found Royal Princess Duanjia unconscious within the room. They also found Jinxiu, who had been moved into a dark corner after being knocked unconscious.
Senior Servant Lan had also brought along a maidservant who was knowledgeable in medicine. After examining Royal Princess Duanjia, she concluded that the princess had only fainted and that there werenāt any other problems with her. Senior Servant Lan was finally relieved after hearing her confirmation.
By this time, Royal Princess Duanjia and Jinxiu had both regained consciousness. Senior Servant Lan couldnāt help berating Jinxiu, who had her head lowered as she stood in front of her. āAs a maidservant, what were you doing letting the royal princess run around like that?ā
Royal Princess Duanjia hastily stopped Senior Servant Lan. ācame over too quickly. I still have something to say to him, but I didnāt have the time to tell him just now.ā
Chu Lian knew about Royal Princess Duanjiaās feelings towards He Changjue, but she hadnāt expected their relationship to have reached this stage so suddenly. If this was set during modern times, then it wouldnāt really be considered a major issue. At most, they would just date as a couple, which was still a rather pure relationship. However, it was entirely different in the Great Wu Dynasty. It was still a period of time when unrelated men and women had to avoid having close relationships. Thus, the relationship between the two of them could already be considered rather scandalousā¦
A royal princess and an imperial guard. The two would rarely have the chance to meet.
Chu Lian didnāt have the heart to stop them from speaking to each other right now.
Under Royal Princess Duanjiaās pleading, she could only nod in agreement and promise to help deal with Senior Servant Lan, who was waiting outside.
When Royal Princess Duanjia jumped out of the window, Chu Lian again reminded her to act quickly.
Royal Princess Duanjia replied with her guarantee.
Once out of the room, Royal Princess Duanjia cautiously approached a small room in the adjoining palace hall.
Earlier, she and He Erlang had agreed that she would pretend to be unconscious, while he would hide in a small room nearby.
Royal Princess Dunajia was in the middle of slowing down her pace as she got closer when she suddenly heard a manās muffled moan. She froze and took a moment to distinguish the voice, only to realise that it belonged to He Changjue.
Her cheeks instantly flushed. In her heart, she wondered, āWhat is that man doing inside!ā
Royal Princess Duanjia hastened her steps and swiftly entered the room. When she pulled apart the blinds hanging over the entrance, she witnessed an unforgettable scene.
