The Crown Princess said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, go and check on Little Seven. I'm fine. Don't be too angry with him. Remember to speak up for him in front of your imperial father. His Majesty likes your brotherly affection. Don't let a woman ruin your bond with your brother."

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and said, "I wish I could just pick him up and give him a good beating!"

The Crown Princess smiled, "Please heed my words, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince let out a sigh, "Alright, alright, I understand. I'll listen to you."

When Gu Jiao sneaked into the East Palace, the Crown Prince had just left from the front entrance.

At this early hour, it wasn't suitable to hide on the roof since her figure would be easily discovered. Therefore, Gu Jiao decided to climb in through the back door into the small storage room of the Crown Princess's courtyard.

This was the Crown Princess's private storage room, just one wall in distance from her bedchamber. Due to the wide-open windows of the bedchamber, Gu Jiao could see and hear the movements on her side through the gap in the door of the storage room.

But never did Gu Jiao expect to see another person inside the storage room!

Apparently, that person also didn't expect anyone to come into the storage room at this time. He had obviously calculated the right time to sneak in!

Never mind, he would just knock her out first and then figure things out later!

Coincidentally, Gu Jiao also had the same idea.

Hence, they both made their moves at the same time, only to recognize each other and stopped their movements at the same time.

"It's you!"

"It's you?"

They even spoke simultaneously.

Gu Jiao: Can't she ever do anything alone? Why does there always have to be someone doing mischief with her?

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Tang put down his hand and asked.

Gu Jiao glanced at him, "In what position are you asking that?"

Yuan Tang was choked by her question.

Indeed, if she shouldn't be here, then, as the prince of the State of Chen, he had even less reason to be here.

Yuan Tang shook the folding fan in his hand and snorted, "It's all because you didn't tell me anything, I had to investigate myself. I'm not stupid. After suspecting that I had some secret dealings with the Crown Princess of your State of Zhao, I encountered an assassination attempt. That means, as long as I keep an eye on her, I'm bound to find some clues!"

Gu Jiao made a sound of acknowledgement, "You didn't forget to bring your brain today."

Yuan Tang: "..."

Was it really necessary to be so mocking?

Gu Jiao noticed that his fan was back to normal, but she wasn't sure if he repaired the pierced fan or replaced it with a new one.

The fan had hidden mechanisms and could be used as a weapon when needed.

"Someone is coming!" Gu Jiao suddenly said with alertness.

Yuan Tang carefully sensed his surroundings and indeed heard a very faint sound from above.

At first, he thought this girl's martial arts were inferior to his, but after witnessing her losing control and killing so many assassins, he didn't dare to underestimate her anymore.

However, he was still very surprised.

This girl's senses were too sharp.

Both of them held their breath and minimized their presence.

They both wanted to see what was happening in the Crown Princess's bedchamber, but the gap in the door was their only viewing spot.

Yuan Tang winked at her while crouching down.

Gu Jiao held his neck and forced him to crouch down completely.

Yuan Tang was dumbfounded, I meant for you to crouch down!

Gu Jiao mouthed, "You're welcome."

Yuan Tang: "..."

Never mind, a real man wouldn’t fight with a woman.

Yuan Tang stayed crouching down, giving Gu Jiao the higher view point.

Both of them closely stared at the movements in front of them. Since the person had used qinggong to sneak in, they must be cautious about exposing themselves. Both of them looked towards the window, worried that the person might close it.

Fortunately, the intruder seemed to not notice them and didn't close the window.

After all, the small window faced not an open yard but a cold storage room.

The intruder was a tall and muscular man exuding an air of elegance. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying and suffocating aura seemed to emanate from him.

Unlike the terror Gu Jiao displayed when she lost control, Yuan Tang thought that this aura was filled with evil dominance and possessiveness.

Yuan Tang only saw the man's back, and for a moment, he couldn't figure out who he was or his intentions.

He tried to read something from Gu Jiao's expression, but when he looked up, all he saw was a small chin seemingly mocking him...

The man approached the bed.

The Crown Princess was resting, lying on her side on the soft bedding, her glossy hair shining like silk.

She wasn't wearing any makeup, with her eyes lightly closed, but her beauty was still evident, a captivating sight.

Suddenly, the man sat down by the bed.

Yuan Tang was startled.

The Crown Princess was asleep and hadn't noticed someone entering the room for a while.

However, she soon felt a cold hand gently touching her cheeks and hair.

Thinking it was the Crown Prince returning, she mumbled in her drowsy state, "Your Highness..."

Not now, this consort wants to rest.

She thought she had said the last part, but in reality, it was just in her dream.

The man's hand, which was gently caressing her hair and cheeks, suddenly tightened around her neck!

Yuan Tang, an imperial prince of the State of Chen who had experienced many turbulent events, nearly gasped in shock.

What on earth was going on?

He had assumed it was an imperial expert under the Crown Princess, but he ended up committing an offense and presumptuously touched the Crown Princess.

He had then thought it was the Crown Princess's lover, but now he seemed to want to kill the Crown Princess!

What enmity, what grudge!

Gu Jiao appeared calm, and her aura was very relaxed.

The corner of Yuan Tang's lips twitched. He couldn't even compare to a teenage girl in terms of composure.

Inside the room, the Crown Princess was finally awakened by the strangling sensation, and she saw a familiar face, causing her to tremble for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The man's voice echoed in the empty bedchamber, carrying a hint of cruelty and mockery.

Yuan Tang felt a chill in his heart.

The voice was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

He seemed to have heard this person's voice before, but it shouldn't have sounded this cruel.

Yuan Tang suddenly felt conflicted.

Gu Jiao, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying the scene, her eyes shining with excitement.

Yuan Tang: Uh... Are you for real?

The man tightened his grip slightly, making the Crown Princess's face turn red.

With great effort, she squeezed out the words from her throat, "This is the East Palace! Are you courting death?"

The man's tone was both malicious and teasing, "It's you who is courting death, Wen Linlang. It's you who wants to die."

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" The Crown Princess was almost out of breath.

The man showed no mercy, "I warned you not to get too close to other men."

The Crown Princess looked at him coldly, "He is the Crown Prince, and I am the Crown Princess! Your words are truly ridiculous!"

The man's voice turned cold, "At least don't do it in my presence!"

After saying that, the man quickly released his grip just before the Crown Princess fainted, and forcefully pushed her back onto the already cold bed.

The Crown Princess gasped for breath, lying on the edge of the bed and panting heavily.

The man's icy fingertips pointed at her heart, "Wen Linlang, remember this, you provoked me first. This place belongs only to me. If you dare to have feelings for another man, I will kill him!"

The Crown Princess sneered, "He is the Crown Prince! If you dare, then go ahead and kill him!"

The man coldly laughed, "Do you think I won't dare?"

As though she recalled something, the Crown Princess's expression froze, and she turned her face away.
