Wan Ge followed him and looked around. Among them were literary masters, martial arts experts with superb skills, and masters of calligraphy and painting who were worthy of respect... almost all the top talents in various industries were here, and even some skilled craftsmen were present.

…

"Your Majesty has made excellent preparations. It's getting late, and I should return to the palace."

Just as Wan Ge stood up, Yan Yunjing suddenly spoke up: "It's getting late. The kitchen has prepared dinner, cooked by a chef with exceptional skills whom this article hired. Would Your Majesty like to stay for dinner before returning?"

"Very well, then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is too kind. This way, please." Yan Yunjing led the way to the dining area.

Wan Ge felt that she was trying to find a way to stay, because she knew it was going to rain soon, and if she could just ask the other person to stay, she would save herself the trouble of pretending to be injured.

…

Just as Wan Ge had described, before dinner, a torrential downpour began, accompanied by constant thunder.

Seeing the heavy rain, Yan Yunjing suggested, "It's getting late and it's raining so hard, Your Majesty, why don't you stay at my humble abode for the night?"

"Then I will thank my royal brother in advance."

Yan Yun turned around and looked at the servant beside him. He actually wanted to take the people there himself, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he asked the servant to take Wan Ge there.

Wan Ge appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was overjoyed. Now that she had stayed, she could finally have a good look for it tonight.

I haven't felt anything since I came in, and I don't know if my guess is right or wrong.

Wan Ge went to bed early, trying to create the illusion that she had gone to sleep early.

I didn't get up until midnight, wanting to find the person I was looking for.

As soon as she climbed out the window, she suddenly felt a familiar presence again. At that moment, she knew she had guessed correctly; it was indeed the Regent's man.

However, just like last time, the sensation was only felt for a moment before disappearing.

Wan Ge knew very well that if she didn't find it this time, it would be even more difficult next time, so she wanted to search in the direction she sensed.

It was still raining at this moment, but it was very light, quite different from the rain at dusk.

As Wan Ge walked, her foot suddenly slipped, and she realized that she had stepped on a trap.

He intended to leap to his feet, but at that moment a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Your Majesty?"

This caused Wan Ge to stop instantly, so she could only let her body sink down. At that moment, the other person quickly grabbed her, seemingly trying to avoid her, but then something else crashed into Wan Ge.

To protect her, the other person turned their directions around, and he was bumped, so they both fell into the trap that Wan Ge had stepped on.

Looking at the somewhat deep area in front of her, Wan Ge feigned a confused expression: "Brother, is this a tunnel?"

Yan Yunjing looked at Wan Ge and asked sincerely, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Isn't it obviously a trap? Why would His Majesty appear here so late?"

Wan Ge scratched her head awkwardly and replied, "The chef my brother found made such delicious food that I couldn't sleep because I ate too much, so I came out for a walk. I ended up getting lost and stumbling here."

Yan Yun was surprised to find that the other party was lying, but did not expose him: "I see. Your Majesty, please do not worry. The mechanism has been activated, and my men will surely come to find us soon."

"Really?" Wan Ge was instantly relieved upon hearing this. After all, she felt a little nervous being alone with him, perhaps because the original owner still harbored some fear towards the Regent.

Seeing how happy the other person was, Yan Yunjing spoke again: "Does Your Majesty not want to stay with me?"

Wan Ge's thoughts were exposed, but how could she answer when the other person asked so openly? Of course, she shook her head and said, "How could that be? It's just that this place is indeed not suitable."

They are in a trap now, and it's definitely not a good time for them.

Yan Yunjing also felt that what the other party said was right, but he could also sense the other party's nervousness. It seemed that the other party really didn't want to be with him.

Unlike Wan Ge, Yan Yun Jing really wanted to spend time with her and hoped they wouldn't come so soon.

About fifteen minutes later, Yan Yun was surprised to find the other person squatting on the ground with his arms wrapped around his body.

Yan Yunjing took off her outer coat: "Even though this place won't get wet, it's still very cold now that it's raining."

Looking at the drainage ditch in front of her, it's no wonder she thought this place was actually a secret passage.

After all, what trap would have drainage ditches? Besides, the place they were in was like a secret passage, which is why they weren't getting wet.

Wan Ge tugged at his clothes, realizing how cold it was. To avoid revealing her whereabouts, she was dressed rather lightly, and her clothes were already wet. If her clothes were see-through, she risked exposing her true gender at any moment.

Now that the other party was willing to give her the outer garment, Wan Ge naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"There's no need to be so polite with me. They'll surely find us within fifteen minutes."

Wan Ge nodded again.

Sure enough, about five minutes later, a voice came from above: "Who's down there?"

As these words were spoken, a rope was thrown down from above.

Yan Yunjing tied the rope around Wan Ge's waist: "Pull His Majesty up first."

The guards holding umbrellas above the trap paused for a moment when they heard the prince's familiar voice: "Your Highness, is that you? Your Highness, let's pull His Majesty up now."
