The soft and tender embrace was unabashed, leaving Chen Yi momentarily stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Feeling the familiar touch, Chen Yi quietly transmitted his voice in secret.
Zhu E smiled faintly and responded softly with a secret transmission:
"The Prince wants to plant a covert pawn in the Capital City, so I accompanied him here."
This indeed aligned with Qin Qingluo's modus operandi. Besides, the one saying this was Zhu E—she wouldn't lie to him. So, Chen Yi nodded, turned his face, and deeply glanced at Feng Lan, who lay on the ground.
"What's her situation?"
Zhu E pondered briefly, then speculated:
"Perhaps the Prince sent her to test you."
Chen Yi shook his head and chuckled. He recalled that during their first meeting, Qin Qingluo had sent one of her tributes to test him.
Merely sending this Feng Lan for a test, even if she figured out his preferences, what good would that do?
Chen Yi turned his head and looked at Zhu E again:
"Why are you in this side room?"
