Except for Xia Miaoyuan, everyone was shocked.
Because at the palace banquet tonight, Zhu Ling fell down, and when Mr. Han helped her up, everyone was kneeling on the ground with their heads down, and did not see their actions.
Only Xia Miaoyuan was careless and looked up, and only then did he see the two people's eyes that concealed their secret love.
Yue Haoyun thought the Second Prince was joking, and after a moment's pause he said, "Let's talk business now, don't make jokes."
Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth and complained, "I didn't expect my second brother's insight to improve. Tsk tsk tsk, this kid is teachable!"
My second brother wasn't kidding. I saw it all. The look they gave each other was so piercing.
[Also, Mr. Liang's movements in holding Zhu Ling's waist were incredibly smooth and expertly executed. There was definitely something going on between the two of them.]
After hearing his sister's words, the second prince felt more confident. He said seriously, "Who are you kidding? What I said is true."
"Today, the two of them exchanged glances and had some physical contact. It looked like they were having an affair."
Han Qingbo said thoughtfully: "After hearing what the Second Prince said, I also remembered some details."
"At the palace banquet, I saw Mr. Liang sitting at the table next to the Empress Dowager. I felt it was very awkward at first. It was not in accordance with etiquette."
"Later, I saw the Queen Mother bring him food from her own table. At the time, I thought the Queen Mother was showing great respect for her son's teacher. Now that I think about it, the two of them might have had an affair."
Yue Haoyun was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "Zhu Ling, as the Empress Dowager, actually did such a shameful thing!?"
The Second Prince poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. "My people have already found out that the Imperial Tutor, Mr. Liang, lives with Yao Jinse and Jiang. So he must be Liang Chaozong. However, we still don't know what kind of magic he used to change his appearance."
"Then Liang Chaozong and Zhu Ling's affair is most likely a move by Liang. He has always been concerned only with restoring his country and his own interests. Women are just his tools."
Xia Miaoyuan was nestled on the soft couch beside him, hugging Little Orange. After hearing what the Second Prince said, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Wow! My second brother's analysis is so right."
Liang Chaozong is just a hero, as if everything he does is great. In reality, he always does what he wants.
[He initially captured the hearts of many women with his handsome face. Coupled with his PUA tactics, these women willingly served him, becoming his spies who obtained intelligence through their bodies.]
Later, he met Yao Jinse, who was raised as a skinny horse in Yangzhou. Originally, he bought Yao Jinse with the intention of training her as a spy, but he didn't expect Yao Jinse to be different.
Yao Jinse was not only beautiful, but also capable of crafting many unusual and bizarre things, and possessed a wealth of novel ideas. Liang Chaozong, unable to bear the thought of wasting her talent, married her. Unfortunately, Yao Jinse, from the beginning, always believed that her and Liang Chaozong were truly in love.
[Later, Empress Dowager Jiang was also used.]
[Now, he is at the end of his rope. Relying on Han Lie, his cheap father-in-law, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve his goal of restoring his country. Besides, Han Lie is already in a high position and has great power. Why would he be so desperate to help him restore his country?]
[So, climbing onto the high branch of Zhu Ling is much more useful than Han Lie.]
The second prince listened attentively to his sister's thoughts and nodded secretly.
At this time, Han Qingbo said: "Second Prince's analysis makes sense."
"Although Han Lie is Liang Chaozong's father-in-law, considering the pros and cons, helping Liang Chaozong restore his country does not bring him any benefits. Instead, it adds a lot of risks to himself."
"So, even if Han Lie helps Liang Chaozong enter the court as an official, it is basically certain that it is just a face-saving job for old man Han to perfunctorily satisfy his old lover and precious daughter, and it is not out of sincerity."
"Liang Chaozong is such a smart man, he must have seen through this a long time ago. Therefore, he will definitely find a more reliable path for himself."
"Zhu Ling is the new path he has found. If he can win Zhu Ling's heart, he might be able to replace Han Lie and take the position of Prime Minister of Dai Viet. Then, with great power in his hands, wouldn't it be much easier to act than now?"
Everyone was stunned after hearing Han Qingbo's well-reasoned analysis.
Xia Miaoyuan also sighed inwardly, "As expected of a counselor, he's truly amazing! He saw through everything so quickly."
Yue Haoyun and the second prince both gave him a thumbs up.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the Dai Viet Royal Palace, inside the Shouxi Palace where the bamboo spirit lives.
The bedroom was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of crickets in the grass.
In the inner room, the pink curtains hung low, and two women's delicate whispers were heard from inside the curtains.
A pair of slender hands stretched out from the curtain, lifted up one side of the curtain and hooked it.
Looking at the bed again, a handsome man was sitting on the headboard with his upper body naked, holding a woman with skin as white as cream in his arms.
The whole room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
The man and woman were both breathing rapidly, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"Is the Queen Mother satisfied today?" asked the imperial tutor Liang Chaozong with a smile on his lips.
Zhu Ling said coquettishly: "Satisfied... Mr. looks gentle, but on the bed... he is so powerful!"
Liang Chaozong gently stroked Zhu Ling's waterfall-like hair and said, "As long as the Queen Mother is satisfied..."
Zhu Ling lowered her eyes, seeming a little shy. "Ever since I've been nourished by you, sir, my sleep has improved, and my skin has improved as well."
As she spoke, her delicate hands hooked around Liang Chaozong's neck, "I really can't live without you now."
A hint of pride flashed in Liang Chaozong's eyes, and then he pressed his lips against Zhu Ling's forehead.
There was another charming sound from behind the bed curtains.
After a long time, the two of them calmed down again.
Liang Chaozong got out of bed and began to put on his clothes quickly.
Zhu Ling leaned over and asked, "Can't you stay with me tonight?"
Liang Chaozong said as he tied his belt, "I also want to stay with the Queen Mother, but our relationship cannot be made public. I am really worried that if it is exposed, it will affect the Queen Mother's reputation."
"It doesn't matter to me. At most I'll die. But what will become of you, a fairy-like woman like you, my lady? I'm terrified when I think of it."
After hearing this, Zhu Ling's eyes were filled with tears. She leaned forward and hugged Liang Chaozong's waist from behind, "Sir, you treat A Ling so well."
Outside the most inconspicuous corner gate of the Dai Viet Royal Palace, an ordinary carriage was parked there.
A man in a black cloak, accompanied by a palace maid, walked out of the corner door quickly and jumped into the carriage.
