"Pah!" Bai Fei spat, her face flushed. "I just didn't want you to do something impulsive that we could never undo."
Zuan came to her side and looked at the rain of petals around them: "Now that you've blocked their view, doesn't that mean that whatever I do to you can be undone?"
Sensing the masculine energy emanating from him, Bai Fei unconsciously took a step back: "You...you don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Zuan hooked her smooth chin with his fingers and gently lifted her face. Her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, and her skin seemed to be oozing water. White jade inlaid with pearls could not compare to her beauty, and roses in their first bloom could not match her elegance.
"If you keep doing this, I... I'll lower the surrounding floral curtains." Bai Fei raised her hand, as if to cancel the light curtains.
Zuan smiled slightly, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Go ahead and put it down."
The closer you get, the more noticeable her fragrance becomes. It's rich and fragrant, yet not cloying at all; instead, it's fresh and natural. Could this woman be a flower fairy reincarnated?
"You... how can you be so shameless?" Bai Fei's voice was tinged with a hint of tears. Feeling the other person's warm breath, she tensed up and her neck broke out in goosebumps.
Seeing her reaction, Zu'an's expression became amused: "Your Majesty doesn't seem like a mature woman who has given birth."
"You don't act like a subject at all," Consort Bai said resentfully.
Zu An looked closely into her eyes: "Whose child is the Crown Prince anyway?"
The reason he deliberately "flirted" with the other person from beginning to end was mainly to try to find out the answer to the question based on the other person's reaction.
"It's definitely not yours!" Bai Fei broke free and hurriedly straightened her clothes.
Zuan chuckled: "I didn't touch your clothes, why are you tidying them up?"
Bai Fei blushed, feeling that she had been too flustered just now, and turned her face away, ignoring him.
Zuan continued, "Is it really the Crown Prince's child? But I don't think so. Even the Crown Princess has been married to the Crown Prince for so long and she is still a virgin. I think he probably doesn't have the ability or the awareness to have such a child."
"Could it be true, as the rumors say, that this child is the Emperor's? But if he really is his child, how could he, with his personality, bear to give his woman to another man?" He asked, his gaze fixed intently on her. "Even if the other man is his son?"
Bai Fei's breathing quickened suddenly, her chest heaving: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to ask anymore. I won't tell you."
Zuan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have to admire the methods of your Demonic Sect. Not only did you infiltrate the palace and sit in a high position, but you also became the mother of the Crown Prince. This way, after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Demonic Sect will have its day of resurgence."
"What, are you planning to report us?" Bai Fei sneered. "But don't forget, we're in this together now. If I'm finished, you won't be able to escape either."
“Don’t be so nervous,” Zuan smiled. “Given my relationship with Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei, why would I report you?”
Bai Fei said sullenly, "So you still remember the Sect Leader and Red Tears? You were treating me like that just now!"
Zuan shrugged: "You've seen everything, but I only pinched your chin. That's not too much, is it?"
Bai Fei thought to herself, "Otherwise, do you really want to see it again?"
She was secretly annoyed and simply turned her head away, ignoring him.
Zuan said, "Alright, it seems this is probably the biggest secret of your Demonic Cult. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. One last question: why did you ally with King Wu? You two are completely unrelated, how could you possibly ally with each other?"
Bai Fei hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "We had some contact in the past."
Seeing that she was speaking vaguely, Zu'an sighed: "Your Majesty's attitude is not like that of an ally, being so unreliable."
"What do you mean?" Bai Fei frowned, as if she sensed that there was something more to his words.
Zuan said, "If we were just ordinary friends, how could we dare to join forces with someone who would commit such a heinous act of exterminating nine generations of a family?"
Consort Bai said calmly, "I really have no relationship with the King of Wu. If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath."
Zu An shook his head: "You and he are indeed not related, but your relationship with Princess Wu is quite special. If I'm not mistaken, Princess Wu and your sect leader are sisters, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Fei's pupils contracted slightly, and her heart beat a little faster. However, she quickly recovered and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I do admire your imagination."
“Is that so?” Zuan smiled. “But your reaction just now has already told me the truth.”
Consort Bai remained silent.
Zuan continued, "You are the biggest and most mysterious spy planted by the Demonic Cult in the palace. Even with my relationship with Hong Lei and the fact that I saved Yun Jianyue and a group of high-ranking members of the Demonic Cult, Yun Jianyue still didn't tell me about you. It's clear that at most only two or three people in the entire Demonic Cult know your identity."
“Under such circumstances, how could you dare to expose your existence to the Prince of Wu? Even if the Prince of Wu is allied with the Demonic Sect, he is still a prince, and you would never dare to completely trust him. Moreover, he has ambitions for the throne and has a natural conflict with the Crown Prince. You cannot possibly leave any significant leverage in the Prince of Wu’s hands.”
“But your alliance is a fact, and there must be a middleman. Princess Wu is too involved in this matter. She knows a lot about the Shi family, but the Shi family doesn’t know about her. So she should be that middleman.”
