San Chun came out of the front hall, and it was already late. She was originally planning to return to her residence, but on the way, she ran into Princess Ying's maid. The maid inquired about Lord Jun's whereabouts, mentioning that Lord Jun hadn't visited the princess for quite some time.
San Chun felt a bit guilty; she had been so focused on Ji Xun these days that she had forgotten there was still a princess living in the Embassy. Zhong Xue had been busy with external affairs and had no time to attend to others, so naturally, someone was unable to visit the princess. He had initially wanted to invite Princess Ying to live in the palace, but the princess refused, insisting that a married couple should stay together, and since she was married, there was no reason for her to return to her family home.
Zhong Xue also couldn't be bothered to think too much about her, so he let her be. However, after a long time of being alone in an empty room, it was inevitable that Princess Ying would feel sad. She tried to find Zhong Xue several times, but either he wasn't there or he had urgent matters to attend to; no matter where she went, she couldn't find Zhong Xue. Sometimes he was clearly in the Embassy, yet no matter how she asked, she couldn't figure out where he was.
The maid learned that during this time, Lord Jun often spent time with a guard from Yan State, which is why she specifically sought out San Chun to inquire about Lord Jun's whereabouts.
San Chun naturally knew that Zhong Xue didn't want to see Princess Ying. He had never been sincere about marrying the princess and had no feelings for her at all; of course, he would be impatient to see her. She wanted to help, but they were a legitimate married couple after all, unlike her as his newly wed concubine. Especially since her current status was merely that of his personal bodyguard, on par with Kazama, it seemed inappropriate for her to interfere in their marital matters.
She said, "I saw Lord Jun in the front hall just now; he will probably rest in his study tonight. You can look for him there." In truth, she wasn't sure where Zhong Xue would stay tonight, but given his personality, he would most likely be up all night researching how to attack Korea.
After thinking for a moment and feeling uneasy in her heart, she hurriedly added, "Please don't let him know I told you."
"Understood." The maid smiled and pulled out a heavy purse from her bosom and handed it to her; it seemed quite full.
San Chun found it somewhat amusing; this maid really treated her like a bodyguard. If she were a real bodyguard, that would be one thing; unfortunately, as a fake bodyguard who leaked Zhong Xue's whereabouts, if he found out, who knows what punishment she would face?
Thinking of his fierce expression as if he wanted to bite her head off made her shiver involuntarily. She silently prayed that he wouldn't suspect it was her.
When San Chun returned to her residence, she felt a bit hungry after all the busyness. The food from the kitchen wasn't very good, so she asked Winter Bamboo Shoot to cook a few dishes for her. Ever since her rebirth, she had noticeably become more carefree; while enjoying the delicious food, she quickly forgot about the earlier incident. In her heart, she secretly hoped that with Zhong Xue being so busy, he wouldn't think too much about things.
She thought she had made a good plan, but sometimes things often went contrary to expectations.
When it was time for lights out and she was about to undress for bed, suddenly someone kicked open the door with a loud bang that startled her into shivering.
Turning around, she saw Zhong Xue striding in. A wave of inexplicable fear surged within her as she covered herself with her clothes and hurriedly said, "I have nothing going on with Ji Xun, please don’t misunderstand."
Zhong Xue gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Do you still have anything with Ji Xun?"
"Of course not," she stammered without knowing what exactly she was afraid of; it was the first time she had ever stuttered in front of him.
He shot her a glare filled with such intensity that it seemed like he wanted to strangle her. He coldly said, "This is your doing."
San Chun trembled slightly as she suddenly remembered that earlier today she had revealed his whereabouts to Princess Ying. What trouble could this princess have gotten into?
"Could it be that the matter has been exposed?" he asked cautiously. "Lord Jun, what happened?"
Thinking about today's events, Zhong Xue felt like she could bite him to death; this girl seemed to have been born just to thwart him.
Originally, he had planned to carefully study the route map for attacking Korea tonight, considering how Wei Kingdom would deploy troops and where they should be stationed. The homeland of Wei Kingdom needed defense, and since Chu Kingdom had just conquered a territory, there also needed to be troops stationed there. Currently, the number of people he could use was quite limited, and if he wanted to achieve a surprising victory, he had to find some external assistance.
He instructed Kazama to bring over all the documents he had brought and began flipping through them one by one, hoping to find Korea's weaknesses that could be exploited in a single strike. He preferred quiet when reading, so in order to avoid being disturbed, he didn't even let Kazama stay behind and was alone in the room studying late into the night.
Just as he was engrossed in his reading, a sudden "knock knock" sound came from outside the door. The sound of a woman's fingers tapping on the window was crisp, while this sound was slightly duller, suggesting that the fingers were rather thick. This couldn't be a woman's hand; he thought Kazama had returned with some late-night snack and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a heavy figure entered. The sound of their feet hitting the ground made it tremble slightly. With such weight, Zhong Xue found it hard not to notice. He looked up and saw Princess Ying approaching with her hefty body. She was carrying a tray with steaming bowls of food on it; he couldn't tell what it was. Looking further at her attire nearly made his eyes pop out.
It was quite cool at this hour; normally, people would feel cold wearing just a single layer. Yet this princess was wearing a semi-transparent bright red thin gauze dress that clung tightly to her body, accentuating her ample flesh in stripes that reminded one of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) from the Dragon Boat Festival—too much rice with meat filling almost spilling out.
Especially her waist, as thick as a barrel and as strong as a robust man’s frame, was truly shocking. Her tightly bound chest revealed two round bulges that looked like oversized steamed buns offered by priests—definitely too large for one person to finish. After staring for a while, he finally confirmed that those were indeed a woman's breasts, causing him to break into a sweat.
In the middle of the night, a woman delivering supper to a man dressed so scantily—what on earth did she intend to do?
Princess Ying lightly parted her lips and said sweetly, "Husband, it's chilly at night; you should rest early. I made you a bowl of wontons; drink it to warm yourself up."
Zhong Xue replied with an "mm," saying, "You can put it down there; this Lord still has matters to attend to. You may leave now."
"Understood." Princess Ying responded but walked to the door without leaving; instead, she closed it behind her.
Turning back with a charming smile, she said softly, "Husband..."
This prolonged call sent shivers down Zhong Xue's spine. He usually had great self-control when it came to beauty; even if she looked noble like this, not even an immortal beauty could easily entice him.
But now... for some reason, seeing her like this suddenly made him feel uncomfortable and gave him an urge to use the restroom.
Clearing his throat, he said, "If the princess has nothing else, please leave."
Princess Ying chuckled softly. "I finally found Lord Jun here; let me serve you a bowl of wontons before I go."
Zhong Xue felt a stir in his heart. Very few people knew about his activities in the study. Who was so careless as to leak his whereabouts? He would definitely skin them alive later.
Now, he was on Zhao country's territory, and he didn't want to cause any trouble. Otherwise, he would definitely have four subordinates carry this fat pig out.
He forced a smile and said, "Princess, please show mercy. I really have urgent matters to attend to. How about I come to see you tomorrow if I'm not busy?"
Princess Ying was displeased and twisted her body, saying in a delicate voice, "I don't want that."
Zhong Xue almost vomited his dinner at that moment. After finally coaxing Princess Ying away, he immediately called Kazama in. Without saying a word, he kicked him hard twice.
Kazama knelt on the ground, whimpering, "Lord Jun, please go easy on me."
Zhong Xue angrily said, "Who told you to let her in?"
Kazama grinned, "She is my lady. The moment she stood at the door, she pushed me aside. I wanted to stop her, but how could I?"
Zhong Xue kicked him again. "You! Who told her I was here?"
"Definitely not me." He raised both hands in assurance.
Zhong Xue coldly said, "You have half an hour to find out who it is, and then chop them up to feed the pigs."
Kazama gasped, knowing that only a few close people knew Lord Jun was here—himself and two guards outside, plus... San Chun.
"Could it be Consort Chun's doing?"
This was just a guess, but Zhong Xue took it seriously. These few people had been with him for a long time; aside from San Chun... yes, only San Chun. This girl probably thought of reuniting with Zhong Xue and wanted to set him up.
When a man gets jealous, he usually becomes unreasonable. He was filled with anger inside, which is why he used his feet when entering and kicked so hard.
He really wanted to reach out and grab her by the neck, but halfway through he couldn't bring himself to do it. He said angrily, "Did you lead Spring Princess to me?"
San Chun blinked her eyes, wanting to feign ignorance. However, seeing his expression made her hesitate to lie. In truth, she hadn't meant it; she had just unconsciously revealed it when asked. She also didn't know what Spring Princess would do and had no idea that he disliked seeing her so much.
Nervously not knowing how to respond, she could only softly say, "I was wrong."
"What were you wrong about?"
"I shouldn't have told the princess about your whereabouts."
Zhong Xue snorted. This girl didn't even know where she went wrong; she was truly infuriating. The biggest mistake she made was pushing him onto another woman. Did he not mean anything special to her? Was he someone who could be casually given away?
San Chun felt a deep sense of regret. For the sake of Ji Xun, he didn't know how much jealousy he had swallowed, and now he had to push him into Princess Ying's arms. No wonder he was angry.
Zhong Xue was filled with rage and needed to find a way to vent it. He immediately started tearing off her clothes, venting his frustrations on her.
San Chun became a bit anxious from his actions and shouted, "For such a small matter, why do you have to torture me like this?"
Zhong Xue's expression darkened as he said angrily, "This Lord treats you like this, yet in your heart, I'm still someone you can casually give away. Have you been wishing to offer me up so you can fly together with Ji Xun?"
She thought to herself, "This is bad." His face wore a smile, but it was colder than when he wasn't smiling. His gaze fixed on her face, not missing a single change in her expression, making her complexion turn pale as paper.
