omething the East Palace needs to consider. At least for now, the East Palace cannot guarantee that it can completely suppress me, so before that happens, the East Palace's tolerance for King Zhao is...Chapter 96, Princess, What's Wrong With You

The maid curtsied and turned to go prepare hot water.

Zhao Rui let out a soft sigh, looking at the heavy snowfall outside her window and whispering: "Your Highness, I would never harm you. Let these secrets rot in my belly."

She didn't know that the maidservant who had just cleaned up the mess, carrying shards of a broken bottle and ashes, had left the Hundred Flowers Palace with her front foot, and two expressionless eunuchs appeared immediately behind her.

"I'm from the Dongchang. Give me the things."

The eunuch shot the palace maid a cold smile.

"Oh, it's the eunuchs from the Dongchang. This is just a vase that was broken in the room of the Crown Prince's Consort, isn't it" The palace maid said hastily.

Don't ask so many questions, just take the things from me and you can leave.

Even if you gave the maidservant a hundred sets of courage, she wouldn't dare to meddle in the Dongchang's affairs. So after handing over the items, she immediately scurried back to the Hundred Flowers Palace like she was fleeing for her life.

In the wine house, Hun Cui, whose heart was as troubled as a cat being scratched, struggled for an entire hour. Just when she was about to barge in, the door to the private room suddenly opened.

Huan Cui was startled.

She took two steps back, eyeing Li Chen warily.

Li Chen, refreshed and content, didn't mind the maid glaring at him. He walked away swaggeringly.

Hun Cui rushed into the private room.

She saw that everything in the private room was normal, except that at the dining table where people were eating, all the dishes were piled up on the left half, while the right half was empty, which was very unusual.

But she didn't think much of it, and hurried to sit beside Jin Xueyuan, who was sitting expressionlessly at the table.

"Princess, are you alright"

"It's fine."

Jin Xueyuan shook her head.

The hand hidden in the sleeve, clenched tightly a piece of innerwear close to a daughter's body.

Those panties, they are hers.

Above, there is evidence of her virginity being taken.

At this moment, Jin Xueyuan's mind was blank.

She didn't know why, in just a short time of less than two hours, the purity she had guarded for over twenty years, something she valued more than her life, was taken by a stranger.

Everything was telling Jin Xueyuan that this wasn't a dream.

But she'd rather it be a dream.

"Princess, how did you stay in there for so long without making a sound You scared me to death."

"Is that scoundrel still bothering the princess" she worried,

Jin Xueyuan's eyes flickered, she gritted her teeth and said, "From now on, don't mention this matter again."

She was startled by Jin Xueyuan's terrifying expression and her icy tone. "I understand," said Han Cui, her voice laced with grievance.

"It's getting late, Your Highness. We should return to the embassy."

Jin Xueyuan said, "Let's go, let's go back!"

She didn't want to stay in this room for a moment.

But the moment she stood up, she felt weak and shaky in her limbs.

"Princess, what's wrong"

With a swift hand, Hun Cui caught Jin Xueyuan before she could fall, her voice filled with alarm, "Are you hurt"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a cold. I don't feel well."

Jin Xueyuan felt like crying from injustice, but she had to force herself to keep it hidden.

Go get a carriage ready for me from the stable. I'll ride back in it. Hurry!

Hu Cuì dared not delay, and ran out like the wind.

As she watched Can Cui leave, Jin Xueyuan thought of Li Chen again.

She suddenly discovered with a sense of sorrow that her innocent body had been violated without her consent, and she didn't even know who the perpetrator was, their name, or where they came from.
