Chapter 209 His expression changed 12
Ziyue slipped into the secret room and immediately felt as if her eyes were about to be blinded by the light.
The gold and silver jewelry were piled up everywhere like free trash, along with porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and all sorts of other treasures.
"Tsk tsk, this second prince has quite a lot in his pocket. He must have made a lot of money in private."
However, Ziyue did not touch these things in the secret room for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy. She could take them away after the Second Prince was defeated.
If she left it to the imperial court, she feared it would fall into the hands of corrupt officials. It would be better for her to use the gold and silver to help the poor.
Ziyue swaggered around the Second Prince's residence, admiring the items in several secret rooms before returning home satisfied.
"Sigh, night after night, I need to go back to sleep."
-
The next day, around 3 p.m.
"Miss, the three young masters have arrived. As you instructed, we have arranged for them to be seated in the living room on the second floor."
Ziyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After their first encounter at the restaurant, Lin Yanzhi and Mu Yang came to ask for drinks the next day and gave Ziyue a token, telling her that she could use the token to find them if she needed anything.
Yesterday, Ziyue sent Xingchen to the Prince of Huainan's residence with the token, saying that she had important matters to discuss with several people.
Ziyue got up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to the second floor.
Yao Mingzhao, Lin Yanzhi, and Mu Yang were all immediately struck by the sight of the radiant and alluring woman in red who walked in.
Unexpectedly, Ziyue, dressed in red, was also so bright and dazzling, like a blazing fire, her brilliance shining brightly.
The prince's eyes deepened, and he exclaimed in admiration, "The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful."
When I first saw her, she was dressed in white, like a fairy descending to earth; when I saw her again, she was dressed in fiery red, her beauty dazzling.
It's truly...incredibly tempting.
After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and he was just an ordinary person in this mortal world.
However, he knew clearly that she was not suited for royalty, and that the seemingly high and deep palace walls could not confine her.
They only need to remain as they are now, maintaining a virtuous relationship and friendship, which is the best outcome for them. However, whenever he sees her, he cannot help but feel a slight ripple in his heart.
Lin Yanzhi didn't think too much about it. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Ziyue. Aside from being amazed when Ziyue first came in, he spoke first after recovering, "Ziyue, may I ask what brings us here today?"
Ziyue did not explain, but walked gracefully to the table and sat down. Then she took out a folded piece of paper from her wide sleeve and handed it to the Crown Prince.
At Ziyue's prompting, Yaomingzhao took the paper, opened it, and the contents clearly came into view. His smile deepened.
Lin Yanzhi and Mu Yang could tell from the Crown Prince's expression that things were serious. Usually, when the Crown Prince smiled like that, it meant he was really angry, or he was about to cause trouble, or someone was about to be in big trouble.
After reading the paper, Yao Mingzhao handed it to Mu Yang. Lin Yanzhi also peeked over to look, and instantly, their expressions changed.
"Is he bored out of his mind? What an idiot!" Lin Yanzhi cursed directly.
Mu Yang's expression was also icy: "Stupid and vicious."
"Where did Miss Ziyue obtain this?"
"Before you speak, extend your hand." Ziyue looked at the Crown Prince and gestured for him to extend his hand.
The prince's thick eyelashes drooped, and he obediently stretched out a hand. Ziyue placed her hand on the prince's wrist to take his pulse.
He couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart when he noticed Ziyue's slightly cool fingers resting on his wrist.
Although he had decided that it would be best for the two of them to remain friends, he had never been so close to a woman before. Given that she was an exceptionally beautiful woman who was outstanding in every way, it would be hard for any man not to be moved by such close contact.
From a young age, he received education as the crown prince. His tutor and other teachers taught him from childhood not to be obsessed with beautiful women, but to put the people and the country first.
He had always been chaste and averse to women, and he always prided himself on his strong willpower. In the harem, he had seen countless beauties, but he always felt that they were just beautiful skins, and that beauty would fade and eventually wither.
But Ziyue is different; she—
