Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Second Update

Zheng Tianxin smiled, radiant as a blooming flower, her gaze slightly intoxicated. She wanted to move her hand, but couldn’t, so she simply stopped trying.

"Is that all?" The young man finally spoke. He had done all of this before, lingering even longer, having felt almost every bone. Yin He was puzzled; he had patiently waited three days only to find that the outcome was something he had already achieved through effort.

"What?" Zheng Tianxin was momentarily startled, not understanding what the young man was asking. Then she smiled again; what difference did it make whether she understood or not?

"Of course it’s not just these, this is only the beginning," Zheng Tianxin managed to wriggle free, and the young man let go. She withdrew her hand and glanced at the young man’s slender, jade-like fingers. Hmm, a bit too thin, those hands could be more attractive.

Jin Luo bowed her head submissively, the wine pot still in her hand, unoffered. Zheng Tianxin’s hand reached out to the young man again, this time to his lapel, and Young Master Yin He showed no intention of pulling away. In Jin Luo’s eyes, it was not a matter of whether the young man was willing, but more like he had no idea what their princess was planning to do.

The wine was of course unnecessary, inadvertently bowing to the caprices of the princess.

Zheng Tianxin was very pleased with the young man’s lean chest, leaning in even closer, her fingers tracing the lines, instantly feeling the young man’s rapid breathing.

Zheng Tianxin slightly lifted her head, looking at the young man with interest, sensing his change, and playfully withdrew her hand.

"Does it feel terrible?" Zheng Tianxin asked with a mischievous intent. She knew full well it wasn’t discomfort; without teasing the young man, what fun would there be?

Yin He’s eyes misted over slightly, his heartbeat quickening, yet in his mind, he was thinking that something seemed different, and so, he needed to know what would come next.

The young man grabbed Zheng Tianxin’s hand and stuffed it back inside his collar, as if grasping for something elusive.

Seeing this, Zheng Tianxin’s eyes, flushed with a rosy tint, seemed to also be caught up in the mood, and with a wave of her hand, the dancing girls filed out, leaving only a fluttering of light gauze in the hall.

"There’s more," Zheng Tianxin said, unusually patient and not in a hurry, her fingers wandering over the smooth skin, the delicate sensation between her fingertips blanking out all her thoughts, even her breathing starting to quicken.

"Has anyone ever touched you like this?" Zheng Tianxin leaned against the young man’s shoulder, her glance sly, seeing the young man shaking his head in a flurry, she contentedly lowered her head, continuing what she was doing.

Yin He’s breathing grew more rapid, some memories seemingly slowly inching closer to the truth. Until the woman’s hand reached his waist, Zheng Tianxin suddenly stopped, the smile at the corner of her mouth was one of sensory satisfaction.

"So what about here, has anyone..." The young man suddenly grabbed hold of the woman, somewhat bewildered, somewhat puzzled, feeling something unfamiliar spreading within him.

"Princess—" Just then, Lan Xing’s voice sounded from outside the door.

Jin Luo glanced at the door, wondering why Lan Xing would come at this time. He surely knew what the princess would be up to now; even Lan Xing, if he offended the princess’s mood at this time, the princess would...

"Get out—" Zheng Tianxin’s voice was indeed displeased.

Jin Luo thought about stepping out to see what had happened.

"Princess, your subordinate—"

"Clang—" A wine cup was flung at the door, and there was immediate silence outside.

Lan Xing saw this and knew that even if the sky fell, the Princess would not open the door. He turned around and hurriedly left, heading straight to the entrance of the courtyard.

"Lord Lan—" Ju Nanyi bowed with his hands clenched into fists, and glanced behind Lan Xing, noticing that he had not brought any guards and frowned.

"Lord Ju, the Princess has some matters at the moment and cannot see you," Lan Xing said, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Ju Nanyi was startled by his words. These were no ordinary times, but he also thought of the Eldest Princess’s eccentric personality. As things had come to this point, and seeing her was not possible, he could only explain the situation.

"Lord Lan, I am here by the order of the Crown Prince to pursue the monster that broke into the Northern Border. My men have discovered traces of this creature near the Princess Mansion. The Crown Prince places great importance on this matter and has instructed me to make this visit in person," Ju Nanyi said, feeling somewhat puzzled. If the Princess was occupied with matters, why wasn’t the Prince Consort there?

"Lord Lan, if the Princess is occupied, then reporting to the Prince Consort would be appropriate, so I can inspect the Princess Mansion and then return to report back."

Lan Xing felt somewhat troubled; he had been looking for that Ghost Shadow for several days without success, and at this moment, it wasn’t even in the Princess Mansion. It wasn’t that he feared a search.

Lan Xing had a flash of inspiration and immediately moved aside.

"Lord Ju, we are all concerned for the safety of the Princess, and I of course understand that. The Princess truly is preoccupied at the moment. However, since this is an order directly from the Crown Prince, it will not be a problem for you to come in and have a look around, as long as you do not approach the Princess Hall and disturb the Princess," Lan Xing said, gritting his teeth. Although risky, this could at least clear their affiliation with the Ghost Shadow.

Seeing this, Ju Nanyi made arrangements for his men to follow Lan Xing inside.

Although Zheng Tianxin was eccentric, she deeply trusted her people. When Lan Xing allowed others inside, her Hidden Guards quietly made space, allowing these investigators to thoroughly check the premises.

In fact, these Hidden Guards had once worked with those in the Crown Prince’s residence. Though they had now separated, they still had some private contact. The guards from the Crown Prince’s retinue had been a special group that had stayed with the Hidden Guards for a year or two before being mysteriously reassigned.

Coming across them once again, many were very curious, noticing that the weapons in the hands of these guards were distinctly different from their own, carrying some weird and bizarre things, two people lifting them and moving slowly through the mansion.

"Lord Lan, our people just need to take a round around the Princess Mansion. If the creature is hiding within, it will be detected. If it’s not here, both you and I can be at ease," Ju Nanyi said as he glanced at his swiftly moving men and spoke to Lan Xing.

"Then please take the trouble, Lord Ju," Lan Xing said, not particularly worried; with Elder Can in the mansion, even the Ghost Shadow would be enough to handle.

Ju Nanyi looked up at the vast empty sky above the Princess Mansion, which, unlike Nanzheng State’s admiration for dense ancient woods, was very open. A group of dancing girls, with their heads bowed, gracefully passed by Ju Nanyi, wearing clothes that were incredibly cool and airy. Especially now, in the afternoon, such a group of dancing girls appeared in the Princess Mansion.

"Lord Ju, this way please," Lan Xing said, as if used to it, inviting Ju Nanyi to walk forward with a natural demeanor.

Ju Nanyi showed no particular reaction, and soon, the Princess Hall, towering as grandly as any hall in the palace, was before his eyes. Lan Xing intentionally avoided it, but Jin Luo secretly opened the door, glanced around quickly, and hurried toward Lan Xing’s direction.

"Lord Lan, is there something important?" Jin Luo had finally found a moment to sneak out and ask first.

At the moment the door opened, Ju Nanyi heard the joyous laughter of women coming from inside the hall, and with just one glance, he saw the Eldest Princess and the young man sitting by her side.

Uh, their clothes in disarray, Ju Nanyi instantly knew what the Eldest Princess’s "urgent matters" were.
