Mingzhu and Consort Xu left the table together.
About half an hour later, the palace maid on surveillance returned to report that the Crown Prince had already entered the side hall.
She also said that Yun Zhen was guarding outside, making it impossible for her to get close to assess the situation.
The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly in her heart; that incense was something she had specially commissioned at a high price during her time in the residence.
She knows best about its effects.
Mingzhu, a weak woman, is destined to embarrass herself as long as she smells it.
The Crown Prince, though strong and healthy, cannot resist its uncanny effects on men.
From the moment he stepped inside, wishing to leave clear-headed would require extraordinary willpower.
She twisted the jade ring.
The Imperial Concubine thought that once the Crown Prince saw Mingzhu's "ugly state," even if he did not touch Mingzhu, Yun Zhen would turn against him.
No man can tolerate being cuckolded.
