HRPM – Chapter 238 Caught in the Act (3)

Jin Luoluo hurriedly climbed off Xiao Luo, her mind racing at top speed.

She was dead, dead for sure. If she couldn’t come up with a proper explanation, the charge of seducing the imperial uncle would definitely be pinned on her. But in a situation like being caught in bed together, any explanation basically sounded like a cover-up. Would the old emperor even believe her?

Fine, she would just risk it all.

“Your Majesty, there’s a saying that what the eye sees may not be the truth, so what you saw isn’t what you think it is. There’s absolutely no affair between him and me. And there’s another saying that explaining is the same as covering up, so I have nothing more to say.”

The emperor exploded in anger. “You say you have nothing to say, yet you’ve already said so much! Jin Luoluo, your audacity truly knows no bounds. Just look at you, actually climbing onto your imperial uncle’s bed! Even if nothing happened between you two, what kind of behavior is this? You’re infuriating me!”

“Don’t be angry. Just pretend you didn’t see anything,” Jin Luoluo said with a flattering smile.

“How can I pretend I saw nothing? I ought to punish you.”

“You can’t. I have an immunity medal, so you can’t punish me. Alright, Your Majesty, I’ll explain everything. You are a wise ruler who sees through everything clearly, and you’re broad-minded too. Surely you wouldn’t wrong an innocent person. In the end, all of this came from a misunderstanding. Please judge fairly.”

Jin Luoluo first buttered the emperor up with compliments, then spilled everything like pouring beans from a sack, explaining how she had mistaken Xiao Luo for someone she knew in the past. Naturally, she skipped over the part about him bathing.

Xiao Luo calmly adjusted his clothes, sat upright, and slowly said, “Imperial Brother, the truth is indeed as Jin Luoluo described. Because I refused to cooperate, she became furious and pinned me onto the bed, trying to find a scar on my body as proof. You also saw the ferocious expression she had while grabbing my collar just now, didn’t you? If there truly were an affair between us, then it would be a rather unbelievable kind of affair.”

Jin Luoluo hurriedly echoed him. “Exactly, exactly. I was beating him up. If you hadn’t arrived in time, my slaps would already have landed on his deadpan face. I’d have beaten him into a fat pig.”

Hearing that, Xiao Luo’s face darkened. Did Jin Luoluo really intend to hit him? Fortunately, his imperial brother had arrived in time.

The emperor recalled the expression he had seen on Jin Luoluo’s face moments ago. It truly had been savage and terrifying. What woman would look at the man she liked with such a frightening expression?

Rather than saying she had an affair with Xiao Luo, it would be more accurate to say she held a grudge against him.

But Jin Luoluo had threatened him before. Now that he had finally caught hold of something he could use against her, how could he not take the opportunity to curb her arrogance a little, so she wouldn’t dare threaten him so casually in the future?
