After the court session ended, the Fourth Prince Zi Mu returned to his bedroom in a good mood. He looked at everyone with a smile.
It made the servants and guards under him dizzy. They had never seen their master so amiable. There were even people who secretly guessed that their master was sick!
Zi Mu sat in the study room, swaying back and forth with his legs crossed, humming a tuneless tune.
Knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock.
His slightly evil eyes twitched." Who is it? What is it?"
"Your Highness, Lin Yi has returned and said that he has something to report to Your Highness.”the servant answered carefully.
Zi Mu narrowed his eyes." Let him in."”
Soon, Lin Yi pushed open the door and entered. Lin Yi was the guard who had met Crown Prince Zi Zhao at the courier station that day. He had a sharp mouth and ape-like cheeks. One look and one could tell that he was not a good person!
"Your Highness, I've investigated thoroughly. The Crown Prince seemed to be in love with the Princess of the State of Yue. Moreover, when the Prince and Princess of the State of Yue returned to the State of Yue, they brought back a person. However, no one knew who this person was, and no one had seen him before. He was very mysterious.”
"Very mysterious? He didn't even know who it was, and this was called finding out? Get out and investigate!" Zi Mu was furious.
"Yes." Lin Yi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Who told him that his master was in a good mood today? This is good? Sigh, what bad luck…
Zi Mu's expression was complicated. It was disgust, hatred, and jealousy.
His expression became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
No one could stop him, and those who blocked his way would die!
No one could…
A fragrance wafted from the door. It was the unique fragrance of a woman.
Her slender waist was as soft as if it had no bones.
Although she was dressed like a palace maid and her attire was ordinary, her entire body exuded a seductive aura. A single glance could seduce a man's soul.
After entering, she closed the door behind her.
She pressed herself against Zimu's body." Who made His Highness angry? This servant will help you calm down!"
A pair of soft little hands explored Zi Mu's body.
Zi Mu was unmoved and said coldly," Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I miss you! The Empress Dowager sent this servant to deliver something to the Crown Prince, so this servant came here.”The woman's voice was so soft that it seemed like it was going to melt into water.
"Little Er, you have to be careful. If you are discovered, it will delay the big matter! It's better to go back as soon as possible!" Zi Mu coaxed her gently, but his face was full of disdain.
"But before I go back, bengong has to be happy first.”As he spoke, he picked up Little Er and threw her on the big table…
Not long after, a man's heavy breathing could be heard from the room, mixed with a woman's pained yet happy cry...

The Crown Prince had just returned to the Crown Prince Palace and changed out of his court clothes when He Lian followed him.
"Crown Prince, Your Highness, I, He Lian, have come to see you.”Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first.
The sudden appearance of a loud voice scared the palace maid beside her so much that she trembled.
Zi Zhao smiled as he came out to welcome him. Zi Zhao, who was dressed in light-colored casual clothes, was like a refined scholar, as elegant as a chrysanthemum.
"You came to see me just after we separated? Do you miss me that much?" Zi Zhao joked about He Lian in a good mood.
"That's right. I just missed you.”
Zi Zhao shook his head helplessly.
Zi Zhao and He Lian grew up together and had a good personal relationship.
When they were young, they ate together, lived together, and played together. When they grew up, they each had their own things to do. Although they could not meet often, this friendship had never changed.
He Lian was not restrained in front of Zi Zhao and often made such harmless jokes.
"Alright, why are you looking for me? If there was nothing else, you would have gone home to make your wife happy!”
He Lian scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I was going to ask again when I had time, but you know my temper. I'm not like you, who can keep calm about everything. I really can't wait.”
Zi Zhao looked at his best friend who was as close as a brother and asked," What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
He Lian's eyes widened." What else could it be? It's just the old Prime Minister Ye from the court meeting just now. He had a good relationship with you, so why did he suddenly turn to support the Fourth Prince? Doesn't he know what kind of person the Fourth Prince is? Really, I'm so angry. Ask him, he even started to laugh with me! Sigh…"
He Lian was straightforward and said whatever he had to say. Zi Zhao was not surprised at all that he was in such a hurry to find him.
However, Zi Zhao felt even more helpless.
This good friend of his was a straightforward person without any scheming. He did not know what power tactics were at all. Even if he taught him, he would not be able to teach him. He knew this very well.
"This is called strategy. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. You just have to do your own thing!”
"Alright, as long as you know what's going on.”
He Lian had trusted him since he was young. As long as he said it was possible, he would not doubt it.
Zi Zhao heard He Lian's concern and was extremely touched.
"Tomorrow, we will set off. Be careful and return safely!”
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm leaving too, so I won't disturb you.”With that, she stood up and walked out, just like when she came.
As fast as lightning…
Come like the wind, leave like the wind.
Looking at the departing figure, a trace of warmth flowed through her heart.
It was enough to have such a confidant in one's life, especially in the imperial family.
I only hope that this friendship
Forever and ever.
