Clever words and smooth talk

  Wei Tai gazed at the woman in front of him with astonishment, her cheeks flushed, her beauty unmatched, weakly leaning on the pear wood table, captivating people's hearts with her languid charm, even though he was surrounded by beauties, he had never seen such a stunning appearance.

  The flames surging in his eyes made Yuan Yi's heart skip a beat, and thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. She quickly calmed down, lowered her head and said: "I have seen the Crown Prince, but I am not feeling well and cannot pay my respects. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

  Although Wei Tai was drunk at this time, he also saw the inappropriateness of the woman. He originally thought she was resting on the desk, but it turned out that she had found someone else's way. The room was filled with thick incense, and he knew there was a cat's trick as soon as he smelled it. He extinguished the incense and opened the window in the room, and the fresh air suddenly poured in. Yuan Yi took a few deep breaths, and his body gradually recovered a bit of strength, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

  Her waist was wrapped, a pale face approached her eyes, his eyes had a faint blue color, thin lips were red like flames, although the facial features were handsome, but there was a cold and evil aura between his eyebrows, from his brown pupils, she saw her own pretending calm expression, at that moment, she felt as if she was about to be skinned and dismembered.

  He grabbed the hand wandering on his face, suppressing his disgust, and asked: "Your Highness has arrived at Grandfather's birthday banquet, and the party is in full swing. Why did Your Highness leave your seat? Is it because my father didn't entertain you well?"

  She was reminding him that she wasn't some casual cat or dog that he could treat lightly.

  Wei Tai's hand paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed with cold light as he asked, "Who are you?"

  Seeing him still had some scruples, Yuan Yi's heart relaxed a little and said: "Return to the Crown Prince's palace, my daughter's father is the Minister of Rites."

  Grandson of Zhu Weilu, daughter of Zhu Changren, this identity is indeed not simple. If it were in the past, with beauty before him, he would never have humbled himself, but now is different from then, because of the Li Cheng dike burst event, his power has greatly decreased, his father emperor is old and suspicious, and there are strong enemies on the side, so he cannot help but be more restrained.

  Moreover, the Zhu family was one of his few remaining important forces, not only supporting orthodoxy but also having a significant position among the literati in the world. Even he did not dare to do something ridiculous that would tarnish the reputation of Sun's daughter at Zhu Weilu's birthday banquet, not only causing the Zhu family to become estranged from him but also giving his good brothers a pretext for attack.

  Within this short period of time, Wei Tai's mind had turned over all sorts of sinister plots and he began to suspect that this was a trap set by his brothers. He looked around him at the unmistakable women's boudoir, and became even more certain of his suspicions.

  She saw his face turn pale and white, obviously understanding the situation. She couldn't help but feel relieved that the prince wasn't as cruel and lustful as rumored, but rather had some sense of decency. If he really didn't care about her reputation, she, a helpless woman, would be at his mercy, and ultimately suffer a loss of face.

  If there is anyone who hates her to the bone in Zhu's mansion, it must be Zhang's mother and daughter. This conspiracy was absolutely designed by Zhang and Yuanyi for her. First, they got her drunk, then arranged for a male guest to enter halfway through, and finally caught her in bed, under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if she had a clear conscience, she couldn't explain herself.

  What a ruthless heart, for personal grievances, even the reputation of the Zhu family is not spared.

  He then turned to the Crown Prince, his heart had already calmed down, after all, he was also being calculated, and as a fellow outcast, the resentment in his heart slightly decreased. He reminded him: "Your Highness, can you let my daughter go? If someone else sees her, it will tarnish your reputation, my daughter would rather die than bring shame to you."

  Wei Tai couldn't help but re-examine the woman in front of him, who had been calm and composed from start to finish, a glimmer of unusual light flashing through his cold eyes.
