“Why do you know so much?” Murong Nan glanced at Chun Tao who was curled up in the carriage.
“Your Highness, I…” Chun Tao’s face changed, showing a look of sadness and shyness.
Chun Tao was much bolder than an ordinary maid. Like Qian Jieyu, she also had a crush on Wang Yi and was eager to climb up. After Wang Yi went to the northwest to fight, Chun Tao missed Wang Yi and wanted to find an opportunity with Shan Hengxin. Normally, Shan Hengxin was surrounded by beautiful women and it was impossible for him to favor her. But as long as she followed Shan Hengxin to the northwest, she would have the opportunity to see Wang Yi again and be favored by Shan Hengxin. In the future, she could even become a concubine… Although it was a little dangerous, the temptation was too great.
Under such a double temptation, Chun Tao stayed with Shan Hengxin and went to the northwest with him.
After arriving in the northwest army, Concubine Hui often sent letters to Shan Hengxin. Shan Hengxin was not as meticulous as Concubine Hui. He was occasionally lax in his words, and Chun Tao got all the words out of him in bed.
It turned out that Concubine Hui had been manipulating Wang Yi through Shan Hengxin. Wang Yi had a chance to return home a year ago, but Concubine Hui was afraid that he would reveal the fact that he did not love Concubine Qian after returning, persuaded him to stay in the northwest with sweet words and so he did not come back.
“Is it the same this time?” Murong Nan frowned: “After the great victory in the northwest, Wang Yi could have returned to Beijing with Shan Hengxin, but he did not come back. Was he also stopped by Concubine Hui?”
As soon as he asked this question, Li Yuebai had a bad premonition in his heart.
If Wang Yi just did not come back, Chun Tao would not have cried so much… and would not have been silenced.
Sure enough, Chun Tao’s tears fell like beads from a broken string again, and she said in a sad voice: “Wang Yi… has died at the border!”
The credit for this great victory in the northwest originally belonged to Wang Yi.
Although Wang Yi’s official position was lower than Shan Hengxin, his ability was much stronger. His commanding ability was flexible, and he cleverly arranged strange formations. He led his subordinates to fight desperately and finally died heroically, which determined the victory of this battle.
However, Shan Hengxin took all the credit and concealed the fact that Wang Yi died in the battle.
The battlefield in the northwest was far away, and Shan Hengxin held a high position. Wang Yi and his subordinates had been annihilated, so no one stepped forward. Shan Hengxin had the ability to manipulate the list at will, and only recorded a missing person, hiding it from the outside world.
He did this because he was entrusted by Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui believed that the fact that Wang Yi was dead should be concealed from Concubine Qian, at least until the success of their plan.
It was impossible to hide it for a lifetime, but it was still easy to hide it for a year.
Chun Tao originally had feelings for Wang Yi. So when she heard that he was dead, she was sad in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be attached to Shan Hengxin in every way. When she returned to Beijing this time, she originally planned to forget Wang Yi and be a concubine to Shan Hengxin safely, but she still couldn’t suppress her disgust for Shan Hengxin in her heart. So, after she heard Li Yuebai’s piano, her suppressed emotions finally broke out.
It was no wonder that she couldn’t hide her emotions. It was really that Li Yuebai’s piano sound was too contagious.
“Chun Tao, do you have any evidence for what you said?” Li Yuebai asked gently.
“Evidence? Wang Yi is dead, do we still need evidence?” Chun Tao said in a daze: “We can find out if we send someone to the army to investigate.”
“I mean, evidence that Wang Yi was in love with Concubine Hui.” Li Yuebai said.
“No…” Chun Tao said sadly.
“Forget it.” Li Yuebai sighed.
To convince Concubine Qian, maybe there was no need for evidence – the tacit understanding between women was enough to remind her.
After returning to the palace, Murong Nan found a secluded place and hid Chun Tao.
It was still too early. If Chun Tao told Concubine Qian the truth immediately, Concubine Qian would definitely be in a state of panic. She may directly question Concubine Hui and arouse Concubine Hui’s vigilance… It was better to wait for some time and let Chun Tao meet Concubine Qian when the time was right.
After settling Chun Tao, Murong Nan sent Li Yuebai back to Qingxin Pavilion. When they entered the room and there was no one around, Murong Nan became unrestrained. He first helped Li Yuebai take off his brocade robe and then took the initiative to untie Li Yuebai’s wet inner clothes.
After they came out of the water, their inner clothes were still wet, but they were covered with brocade robes or cloaks on the outside, so it couldn’t be seen.
“I’m getting more and more curious.” Murong Nan asked curiously while moving his hands and feet: “Why did you know everything tonight? You knew that Chun Tao has a secret, and you knew that she will be killed by the Shan family…”
From Murong Nan’s point of view, Yun Weizhi was too prophetic.
“To be honest.” Li Yuebai pushed the kid away and explained: “When I was in the palace, I saw that Concubine Qian looked different, and I was worried that she would harm the queen. At the banquet, I saw that Chun Tao looked different…”
“So many different looks, why didn’t I see it?” Murong Nan raised his eyebrows.
“…” Li Yuebai felt that he was about to burst.
Although he was good at solving problems, he was not good at covering up, especially not good at covering up in front of his teammates.
From the beginning, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Murong Nan was a teammate and was on his side.
“System.” Li Yuebai asked: “What will happen if I reveal my identity as a traverser in front of others?”
“It will cause some trouble.” The system said: “If it is serious, it may cause the world to collapse.”
“Then this world is probably in danger now.” Li Yuebai sighed.
He felt that he was about to be seen through by Murong Nan.
“Not necessarily.” The system suddenly said: “If you are exposed to another traverser, and it is another traverser who is a teammate, there will be no problem at all, and it will even be conducive to better communication with each other.”
“Another traverser?” Li Yuebai gasped in shock.
During the time he was communicating with the system, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already taken action without saying a word, pushed him down on the couch, and forcibly stripped off his inner clothes.
Li Yuebai felt a chill on his body and couldn’t help but feel a fear in his heart.
The difference in force value was too big, and he was completely unable to resist. If Murong Nan did something here… there was really nothing he could do.
After struggling in vain for a few times, he soon realized that he was already mad.
Unprecedented shame and anger made his skin hot. He glared at Murong Nan and was about to say something, but he saw Murong Nan silently pull a roll of bedding from the head of the bed and wrap him in it.
“You are weak, don’t get sick.” Murong Nan’s pair of black eyes looked straight at him.
Just now, Li Yuebai clearly saw the desire burning in those eyes, but now it had disappeared, probably because Murong Nan forcibly suppressed it.
Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, and then a warm feeling rose in his heart.
He was also a man, and he knew how difficult it was for a man to suppress his desire when it came up, and Murong Nan was the prince, who had the power to do whatever he wanted… In such a situation, Murong Nan still endured it, which showed that he really pitied Yun Weizhi.
“…” Li Yuebai was wrapped in the quilt, his whole body was burning hot, and he didn’t know how to respond to Murong Nan. After a long time, he said sullenly: “Thank you.”
“Yeah.” Murong Nan lowered his head, put his forehead against his forehead, and whispered: “You have a good rest these days, I will come to visit you often.”
“You should leave quickly.” Li Yuebai remembered that Murong Nan was also wet, and he wanted to rush him back to take a hot bath immediately.
“I’ll leave now.” Murong Nan smiled and kissed him on the forehead: “Also, there’s no need to pretend, time traveler.”
