"What's wrong with Yanbao?" Xie Zhiluo wanted to hear what she had to say.

Yan Bao is indeed different from ordinary girls. She lives as she pleases, doesn't care about other people's opinions, and has the capital to not care.

Xie Zhiluo knew very well how good she was.

When Wu Mingyue heard Xie Zhiluo take the bait, she glanced at the teahouse not far away and said, "Brother Crown Prince, this is a long story. Why don't we go to the teahouse and sit down to talk so as not to block others' way?"

Xie Zhiluo did not refuse. He jumped off the carriage, glanced at Wu Mingyue, and strode towards the teahouse.

Wu Mingyue blushed and her heart beat fast when Xie Zhiluo looked at her, and her legs and feet became weak. Success or failure depended on this one move.

Wu Mingyue wondered how angry the mute would be if he knew that she and the prince were drinking tea in the teahouse.

If she could sow discord between them, she would be one step closer to entering the East Palace.

Wu Mingyue secretly warned herself that this matter must succeed and not fail.

Ignoring the looks from others, Wu Mingyue carried herself with the haughty demeanor of a rich family's daughter, looking at no one, holding her head high and chest puffed out, as she walked towards the teahouse. If anyone didn't know better, they would have thought she was a peacock spreading its feathers.

The others recognized Xie Zhiluo and Wu Mingyue, and began to whisper to each other, curious about how this couple ended up in the teahouse.

It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in love with Princess Taining, and in order to avoid Princess Taining being jealous, he stays away from other women.

After they went upstairs to the private room, someone asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interested in Miss Wu?"

"Speaking of which, this Miss Wu is the daughter of the Empress's brother. If she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to have sex, it would be considered a close relationship."

"That's right."

"Didn't Princess Taining forbid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from associating with others?"

"That Miss Wu is none other than the Crown Prince's cousin."

Someone laughed obscenely: "Cousins, we are one family, hehe!"

Many people smiled knowingly.

The others laughed too.

Others were watching the drama unfold: "If Princess Taining knew they were meeting privately, I wonder if she would cause a scene. I heard Princess Taining is different from ordinary girls. She has a domineering personality, doesn't follow etiquette, and is very playful. If it weren't for the Emperor's favor, I'm afraid..."

Someone reminded him that words can cause trouble, and he stopped talking. Several people exchanged glances.

Those who understand will understand.

People downstairs were talking in low voices, while Xie Zhiluo upstairs was standing in front of the window, watching the passers-by outside.

Wu Mingyue glanced at the maid, who tactfully closed the door, looking like she was trying to cover up her crime. Baichuan didn't want to say anything.

Xie Zhiluo turned his back to Wu Mingyue and asked, "What do you want to say to Yan Bao? This prince doesn't have much time and doesn't want to hear nonsense."

Wu Mingyue didn't dare to get too close, so she confessed honestly: "A few days ago, Mingyue accidentally heard that Princess Taining didn't accompany Madam Shen to recuperate last year, but went to Daying. She is the one with blonde hair, blue eyes, a hooked nose, and looks different from us Dajin people. From that country."

Xie Zhiluo already knew about this, so she didn't need to say anything.

He had already guessed what Wu Mingyue wanted to say. Yan Bao did not hide what she had done in Daying, and she also told him about her hypocritical dealings with the prince named Jason.

She did that as a ruse.

She didn't like that Jason at all and was just using him.

Yan Bao's heart only has me.

Xie Zhiluo was very sure of this, and he would not be instigated by others.

Noticing Xie Zhiluo's indifferent expression, Wu Mingyue knew that he must know about this matter, so what he didn't know must be the part about the prince.

Wu Mingyue continued, "Princess Taining went to Daying and met the prince of Daying. They became very close. It is said that they went boating, horseback riding, shopping together, and even smoked a kind of cigarette that was the favorite of the upper class of Daying."

Xie Zhiluo also knew this.

What he didn't expect was that Wu Mingyue knew so much.

It’s a pity that what she saw was what Yan Bao wanted others to see.

Only she herself knows what is actually happening.

Yan Bao made great contributions during his trip to Daying this time, but the emperor could not reward him openly. Only he and his son knew how much he valued Yan Bao.

If it weren’t for Yan Bao, who knows how many people in Dajin would have been harmed.

The national destiny of Dajin will be affected.

She did so many good things, but in Wu Mingyue's mouth, she became an unforgivable sin.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiluo's face turned ugly.

Wu Mingyue mistakenly thought she had heard Yan Bao and Prince Daying were angry because of something unclear. Inwardly, she was overjoyed and gloating, but on the surface, she said, "Princess Taining must have some difficulties, otherwise she would never do anything to let her cousin, the Crown Prince, down."

"Don't be angry, my cousin Crown Prince. Princess Taining still cares about you, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it a secret from you. She also doesn't want you to be angry. Don't blame her. After all, she went to Daying, to someone else's territory, and had to deal with others. She must have been thinking about the Crown Prince..."

"Shut up." Xie Zhiluo's face turned black. "Don't keep calling me cousin the crown prince. You don't deserve to be called that."

Wu Mingyue's eyes widened in fear, revealing a look of grievance and pity: "Prince cousin..." Under Xie Zhiluo's warning gaze, she changed her words: "Your Highness... Mingyue knows you are very angry, please don't be angry first. The princess didn't tell you because it was for your own good. She..."

"How dare you!" Xie Zhiluo scolded, "Who gave you the guts to spread rumors and stir up trouble? This prince and the emperor are both aware of Princess Taining's affairs in Daying. She and that Prince Jason are innocent. How could you slander her?"

"Next time I hear you mention something about Yan Bao and Prince Daying, you can give it a try." Xie Zhiluo humiliated: "A daughter raised by your Wu family loves to slander others behind their backs?"
