528 The Secret About the Past 146 (1/2)

She casually pointed toward the room next to An Xiaoning's.

”What if he comes inside my room?” An Xiaoning asked.

”I helped him into his room before helping you into yours. I only went downstairs for a short while. Besides, he's already so drunk, how… how could he possibly go inside your room? Don't read too much into things. The only way he could end up in your room is if you bring him in. Her Highness is already asleep, I'll go make His Highness some tea to cure his hangover. Hurry and go to bed.”

Zhi Yin left as soon as she finished speaking.

An Xiaoning was dumbstruck and at a loss for words.

Since Zhi Yin thought she was drunk, An Xiaoning would definitely not be believed if she told her that Tuoba Gucheng was in her room.

The only solution now was to take Tuoba Gucheng to his room herself.

An Xiaoning was completely awake at this point.

The consequences would be dire if Zhi Yin was to discover that he was not in his room when she returns later.

She hurriedly ran inside her room and forced Tuoba Gucheng to wake up. She then carried him on her shoulders with all her might and slowly moved him against the wall.

Being tall and muscular, he weighed a ton although he was not fat, especially since all of his weight was on An Xiaoning.

She was almost crushed to death.

An Xiaoning clenched her jaw and struggled to help him into the room next door. Fortunately, no one else passed by.

She closed the door and moved him toward the bed.

As they were about to reach the bed, An Xiaoning could no longer support his weight and threw him onto the bed, forgetting that his arm was still around her shoulder. As a result, she fell onto the bed together with him.

She fell straight onto his chest, jolting him awake.

However, he was not completely sober yet.

”Who are you?” he asked, staring at her in the darkness.

”Your Highness, I'm Mu Ning. You're drunk, I was the one who helped you back inside your room.”

She tried to get up but slid back onto the bed when he flipped to the side, pinning her down with his thigh.

He began acting hysterically before she began to struggle.

He placed his hands onto her waist and shifted his gaze to her lower body. An Xiaoning reached out to move his hand aside and tried to flee with all her might.

To her astonishment, Tuoba Gucheng pulled her by the back of her collar, causing her to fall again.

An Xiaoning was exasperated. What an absurd person…

Yet, she could not be violent with him. Otherwise, he would definitely get to the bottom of the matter once he was sober.

If it were someone else, she would definitely beat them into a pulp.

However, she could not lay a finger on Tuoba Gucheng.

”Do you really dare to flee? Where are you going to run to?”

”Your Highness, I'm Mu Ning. Take a good look at who I am.”

”I don't care… I don't care who you are. It doesn't matter. I feel so warm, it's killing me,” he murmured with his eyes closed, his breath reeking of alcohol.

He then sat up and pinned An Xiaoning beneath him, greatly startling her.

In the pitch darkness, he opened his eyes and stared at the woman beneath her. ”I can't tell clearly… your appearance…”

”Your Highness…” An Xiaoning was ill at ease, though she did not know exactly what he might do out of drunkenness.

”Shut up.” He straddled her and sat up straight, reaching out to undress her.

Shocked beyond words, An Xiaoning grabbed his hand and reminded him, ”Your Highness, I'm Mu Ning, the ugly country bumpkin.”

”If… you… dare speak… another word, I'll… call my guards… and say… say that you seduced me. You'll be executed,” he warned.
