Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 159

"Ah? Who... who are you? Why are you here?" Chu Haoheng looked at Zhou Chengzhi in horror, whose clothes were half-taken off in the room. He was so scared that he took off half of his wet clothes and didn't dare to take them off anymore.

Zhou Chengzhi was also confused at this time. Just now, he heard footsteps and thought it was Chu Yuqing, so he quickly took off half of his clothes.

Then, he saw a man coming in, but before he could react, Chu Haoheng discovered him.

"Fifth Prince, I'm coming in." The maid heard Chu Haoheng's scream and pushed the door open without thinking.

When the maid came in, she saw Chu Haoheng with a wet body, looking angrily at the man on the bed.

Zhou Chengzhi couldn't figure out why a man came into the room.

Could it be that Chu Yuqing's plan has changed?

Then why didn't she come to inform herself?

Let yourself wait here foolishly.

He was just waiting for Qiao Anan to come into the house.

Trying to throw dirty water on Qiao Anan.

When Chu Yuqing heard Chu Haoheng's terrified cry, she had a bad feeling.

Chu Jingyao had been sending people to keep an eye on her, so even if she wanted to inform Zhou Chengzhi, she couldn't get away.

I could only pray silently in my heart that no one would enter the room where Zhou Chengzhi was hiding.

Just now, she was only paying attention to which room Qian Duoduo went to. Seeing that Qiao Anan did not enter the marked room, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she forgot that there was also the fifth prince Chu Haoheng who fell into the water.

"Who are you? Why are you here dressed like this?" The maid quickly drew her sword and looked at Zhou Chengzhi warily.

Zhou Chengzhi thought to himself that something was wrong and looked around for a chance to escape.

If the person who came in was Qiao Anan, he could still say that it was Qiao Anan who asked him to come here.

But the person who came in was a man, and he couldn't say that the man asked him to come.

"Tongxin, bring the person out. Lai Fu, go and help your master wash and groom." Chu Jingyao ordered in a deep voice.

"This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Zhou Chengzhi was thinking about how to excuse himself.

I was still wondering if I had boarded the wrong pleasure boat, otherwise why would these two people appear here.

After all, Qiao Chengcheng didn't see Chu Yuqing and thought it was another group of people.

Chu Yuqing's face turned pale when she saw Zhou Chengzhi coming out in confused clothes.

It's over, exposed.

Chu Yuqing looked at Zhou Chengzhi with a pleading look.

I hope Zhou Chengzhi won't betray her.

Otherwise, she couldn't even imagine what would happen to her, a princess of a foreign kingdom, if she colluded with outsiders and tried to frame the prince's wife?

Not to mention that it would disrupt her father's plan.

For this crime, the emperor might even want to execute all nine generations of the family.

Zhou Chengzhi's eyes rolled, and he also knew that their plan today must have failed.

Zhou Chengzhi looked at Chu Yuqing fiercely. Why didn't she inform him when the situation changed?

However, at this time, he couldn't ask Chu Yuqing about it, so he could only try to reduce the charges to the lightest possible level.

It is best not to reveal his identity, even if he is a citizen of Xijing.

After all, if the Emperor of Chu Yuan discovered his true identity at this time.

Not only that, he has troubles that he cannot solve, and even the Xijing Kingdom cannot escape its responsibility.

Then, he saw Chu Yuqing not far away.

Thinking that the two were allies, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Yuqing.

"She asked me to come." Zhou Zhou Chengzhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said.

"I didn't!" Chu Yuqing's first reaction was to deny it quickly. She couldn't have anything to do with this person.

"It was this girl who said she liked me and asked me to meet her on this pleasure boat today. When I saw her, I found she was quite pretty. I thought that since she also liked me, I took the risk to get on the pleasure boat." Zhou Chengzhi continued.

Qiao Anan looked at Chu Yuqing, then at Zhou Chengzhi.

Thinking about how Chu Yuqing invited him to go boating on the lake today, he didn't expect that she actually brought a man with her.

What is the purpose of this man appearing in this pleasure boat?

If they really were having a secret meeting, why did they invite me?

Qiao Anan looked at Chu Yuqing with some suspicion.

Qiao Anan had never suspected Chu Yuqing of having other thoughts before because she trusted Chu Yuqing.

But at this moment, her trust in Chu Yuqing has been greatly reduced.

At this time, Qiao Anan was a little confused as to whether Chu Yuqing was an enemy or a friend.

"Is that really the case?" Chu Jingyao sneered, then looked at Chu Yuqing with a half-smile and asked.

"Please forgive me, Princess. I was confused for a moment and brought him on board." Chu Yuqing had no choice but to kneel down and admitted that it was she who brought Zhou Chengzhi on board.

After all, compared to her collusion with a man and her attempt to frame Qiao Anan, her crime of having an affair with a man was much lighter.

Although, her reputation may be ruined and she will be despised by the world,

But it’s better than confiscating property and exterminating the entire clan.

When Zhou Chengzhi heard Chu Yubiao say this, he felt a little relieved.

Compared to the crime of framing a prince's wife.

Having an affair with a woman is at most a moral flaw.

If it really doesn't work out, he and Chu Yuqing can just pretend to get married.

"Princess Lin'an, do you know what you are saying?" Although Chu Jingyao is arrogant and domineering, she is not stupid.

She didn't believe that Chu Yuqing would do such a brainless thing.

She would rather believe that Chu Yuqing and this man wanted to frame Qiao Anan than believe that the two of them had any private motives.

"I don't know if Princess Lin'an invited me to go boating on the lake today to cover for you two?" Qiao Anan sneered in her heart.

She finally understood that Chu Yuqing's abacus beads were almost spraying on her face today.

Qiao Anan took another look at the man. Although he was quite handsome, he always felt that he was somewhat familiar and a little weird.

She couldn't remember where she had seen this person before.

"Big sister, please find someone to help keep an eye on this guy." Qiao Anan felt that someone should investigate the identity of this pretty boy.

Maybe he is a spy from an enemy country.

Otherwise, why would he be so determined to get close to me?

"Why are you arresting me? I haven't done anything harmful. I just like that girl. Is that a crime?" Zhou Chengzhi became anxious when he heard that these people wanted to arrest him.

Now Chu Yuan State and Xijing State appear to be on good terms. If they discover his true identity, it would be more trouble than gain.

"Take him away." Chu Jingyao didn't want to waste time talking to this guy.

After saying that, he looked at Chu Yuqing again.

It was her father who showed leniency to Prince Lin'an and allowed him to return to his fiefdom, so Wu Zhao was not allowed to return to the capital.

This time, Prince Lin'an asked his daughter, Princess Lin'an, to return to Beijing to congratulate the Second Prince and his family on their wedding.

The emperor was lenient and allowed her to stay in the capital for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, we became enemies after staying together for so long.

It seems that her good uncle Wang is also quite ambitious.

Otherwise, how could his daughter dare to frame the prince's wife?
