Chapter 20 - The Trap Unveiled

Su Jin come to him and tell him that Rong Tieshan had been visiting the pleasure house Tianyi Building for days to meet a courtesans.

Princess Xie Lianhua who is trying to help Yue Mingxuan had arranged for someone to disguise him as a courtesan in hope he could attract Prince Rong's attention.

When Yue Mingxuan heard that his beloved has been visiting a brothel frequently, he had been furious.

So, without a second thought, he had followed the secret passage straight into the Tianyi Building and even stripping himself completely to wait for Rong Tieshan.

However, the man who arrived in his room had not been Rong Tieshan, it had been someone else entirely.

That was the moment his world changed and the moment he had come into this body.

Everything that happened afterward had followed naturally from that fateful mistake.

Now, thinking back, it was obvious the entire thing had been a trap, it was a trap that has been carefully laid by Concubine Hua.

Rong Tieshan had never planned to go to the Tianyi Building at all.

The one who had gone there had been sent only to destroy Yue Mingxuan's innocence.

Could it have been that naked man?

No… probably not. At least, his body still seemed unharmed.

It shouldn't be possible, Yue Mingxuan thought. At least, his body still felt completely fine.

Even though he had never done such things with another man before, he knew enough to understand that after something like that, the body would show some trace of it.

But his body showed no sign of being touched at all.

Even so, he would never let Madam Zhen examine him.

Concubine Hua only wanted to force him and Rong Tieshan to break off their engagement, so that Rong Tieshan could marry someone else and prepare for the future throne.

Everyone knew that the emperor of Beirong Kingdom could never marry someone from another kingdom as his empress.

And that sly fox of an emperor, Rong Shengtian, he had clearly used Yue Mingxuan as bait, trying to test whether Rong Tieshan had ambitions for the throne.

Rong Tieshan was far sharper and wiser than his mother. He had seen through the emperor's plan immediately and had even pretended not to care about Yue Mingxuan's supposed betrayal.

But Yue Mingxuan had just arrived in this strange time and had already suffered so much humiliation.

He refused to accept it.

He hated it.

After understanding the emperor's hidden intentions, he decided he would no longer be anyone's pawn.

So, he turned the trap around a d pretending to go along with it by announcing the breakup himself, forcing Concubine Hua to reveal her true face before the emperor.

Yet, who would have thought that foolish emperor would actually agree so easily?

The warm water slid down his pale and smooth skin.

Yue Mingxuan wrapped a towel loosely around himself, his white arms exposed as he sat down before the dressing mirror.

He noticed Sui He staring at him from the side and frowned impatiently. "If you have something to say, then say it. Don't just stand there looking awkward."
