Chapter 897: 414 Confession (two updates)_2

"Then, I apologize," Yuan Tang said, bowing with a hand folded in front of him, and then curtsied again.

After Yuan Tang left, Prince Ning looked towards the couple of Prince Rui with concern, "What just happened?"

The handkerchief on the ground had already been picked up and put away by the servants.

Prince Rui patted the Princess Rui’s shoulder reassuringly, "Right, did that guy just try to scare you on purpose?"

Princess Rui shook her head, "No, I was just... too surprised."

Prince Rui, puzzled, said, "Surprised about what? It’s not like you’ve never seen him before."

Yuan Tang was a hostage from Chen Country and usually did not attend gatherings of the Zhan Country royal family. However, when he first arrived in Zhan Country, to showcase the magnanimity of the royal clan, the Emperor did host a welcoming banquet for him and the emissary from Chen Country.

After some thought, Princess Rui decided to tell them about witnessing the Crown Princess meeting someone privately.

"You, you, you..." Prince Rui stammered in shock, "You didn’t hear wrong? It was really the Crown Princess and Yuan Tang?"

Princess Rui recalled, "They were deliberately speaking in low voices; I couldn’t make out whose voices they were. But, I heard the Crown Princess say ’What have you done to Chun Yin?’ Chun Yin is a personal maid to the Crown Princess. Afterwards, I saw the Crown Princess walk out from behind the rockery, so I am sure that woman was the Crown Princess."

"How did you confirm that the man was Yuan Tang?"

It was Prince Ning who spoke.

Princess Rui frowned and said, "I heard the Crown Princess slap him behind the rockery. Just now, I saw Yuan Tang’s face was red and swollen, with distinct marks, like the remnants of fingerprints. It immediately reminded me of that man..."

This kind of matter sounded like nothing noble; the Crown Princess fraternizing with a hostage from Chen Country, if the news got out, it would be a capital offense.

Prince Rui said in disbelief, "This Yuan Tang... he’s too daring... And the Crown Princess, why would she collude with a hostage from Chen Country? She doesn’t seem like that kind of person..."

Prince Rui said, "Anyways, getting back to the subject, if she really... I mean if... she actually did this, can she still be worthy of the Crown Prince? Can she be worthy of our father the Emperor and the people of Zhan Country? Big brother, should we report this to the Emperor immediately?" _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
