King Wu looked at Yun Yuqing and saw his wife's fair and rosy skin. His eyes were filled with infatuation: "Yuqing, you look so beautiful today."

Yun Yuqing bowed slightly and replied in a formulaic manner, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"

King Wu frowned, somewhat displeased with the other party's attitude. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed the puddles of water on the ground, and his expression changed.

He pretended to walk casually to the edge of the pool, and looking at the wet ground around him, where the shapes of splashed water were still faintly visible, his face immediately darkened: "What were you doing just now?"

"Of course I'm taking a bath, what else could I be doing?" Yun Yuqing replied, pressing down on the hem of her skirt as she sat down at the table. She poured herself a glass of water; she was really thirsty from being so dehydrated.

The King of Wu's gaze fell on his wife's waistline. Because she had just bathed, her body was still steaming with moisture, and her dress clung tightly to her skin, making her curves all the more alluring.

"Hmph, I wonder which fabric shop made these clothes. They become opaque after getting wet. The Prince's Palace will never buy clothes from them again." The Prince of Wu withdrew his gaze, still seemingly unsatisfied. "Why did you get so much water on the floor while bathing?"

Yun Yuqing said casually, "I just had a sudden urge to play in the water here, is that not allowed?"

Zu An, behind the screen, chuckled to himself. Sure enough, the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie. Yun Yuqing was indeed playing in the water just now, but she was playing with me.

At the same time, he was also a little puzzled. The tone of their private conversation was rather stiff, completely unlike the affectionate scene that Ji Beijun had seen last time.

King Wu smiled and said, "Of course, I didn't expect Yuqing to be so childlike."

Yun Yuqing put down her water cup: "What does Your Highness want with me today? Why did you insist on barging in despite the maids' attempts to stop you, as if you were here to interrogate me?"

The smile on King Wu's face gradually faded: "I just received intelligence that the assassination plan against Zu'an seems to have failed; there was no body of Zu'an at the scene."

He paused, then looked at his wife: "Did you go to save him?"

Zu An, hiding behind the screen, was startled. So they knew about the assassination attempt!

Almost instantly, he had listed all the possibilities in his mind, and at the same time, the case that had been troubling him for some time was finally cleared up.

But there is one question: what role does Yun Yuqing play in all of this?

At this moment, Yun Yuqing suddenly stood up and looked angrily at King Wu: "What do you mean by deliberately hiding your assassination attempt on Zu'an from me?"

Hearing her words, Zu'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The King of Wu snorted: "I'm just afraid you'll worry. Why are you so agitated? Do you still have feelings for him?"

Behind the screen, Zu'an secretly scoffed. This guy had pushed his wife to another man back then, and now he was here being jealous. Was this guy crazy?

Yun Yuqing said calmly, "Of course, he is a real man and a great man. It's normal that I still have feelings for him. I've already fallen for him."

Zuan was somewhat surprised. He never expected her to answer like that. He thought she would try to smooth things over, but she chose to be so confrontational. Why was that?

"What!" King Wu was also stunned. His first reaction was that he had misheard, but when he saw his wife's provocative eyes, he finally realized what was happening and roared, "So you like that street urchin, that piece of trash?"

Yun Yuqing snorted: "Heroes don't ask about origins. Why should we judge a man based on his background and identity? I only look at what kind of person he is. Obviously, he is an excellent man in every aspect."

Upon hearing the other party's cryptic words, King Wu nearly exploded. He angrily lunged at her, intending to grab her by the collar and interrogate her.

Zu An was somewhat worried and ready to step in to help at any time. At this moment, he was still full of doubts. Why did Yun Yuqing make this choice? He knew that completely breaking off relations would not do her any good. In addition to being a prince, King Wu was also a grandmaster!

Although these grandmasters were born into the royal family, Emperor Zhao Hao personally formulated a training plan for them, many cultivation masters gave them initiations, and they were fed countless rare and precious treasures—of course, all of this was on the premise that their aptitude was sufficient. For a fool like the crown prince, eating so many rare and precious treasures only made him a little fatter, which was of no use at all.

Although the princes of Wu barely reached the level of Grandmaster, their foundations were unstable and their combat experience was severely lacking. They should be considered among the weakest Grandmasters in the world.

Even if she's weak, she's still a grandmaster. If they really fight, Yun Yuqing will still suffer.

Yun Yuqing lightly touched the ground with her toes, and runes flashed on her toes as she quickly dodged the King of Wu's sudden attack, clearly having been prepared.

Yun Yuqing sighed: "Why are you angry? You should be even more excited to hear me say that."

The King of Wu's expression changed, and he stopped in his tracks, asking, "What do you mean!"

Yun Yuqing's originally beautiful face was now covered with a layer of frost: "Don't think I don't know what you've done."

"What did I do?" King Wu retorted, though his confidence was clearly not as strong as it had been at the beginning.

Yun Yuqing seemed lost in her memories: "Back then, I had to marry you because I was responsible for the future of my people. At first, all the information we found about you showed that you were an excellent prince in every way. You were handsome, had high cultivation aptitude, and were known for your virtuous governance. I even kept hypnotizing myself, trying to accept you and fall in love with you, so that marrying you would be a good ending."
