Su Bin approached and respectfully greeted the Third Prince. “Greetings, Third Prince. ”
The Third Prince kindly replied, “No need for formalities.”
Observing Su Bin closely, he sensed that Su Bin might be concealing something from him.
“I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was searching for Primus Su everywhere but couldn’t locate you. May I ask where you were just now?”
Su Bin explained with a hint of embarrassment, “I had to use the restroom earlier.”
He proceeded to describe the situation to the Third Prince, sharing that the Crown Prince had sent someone to fetch him and led him to the backyard. However, the Crown Prince got called away, leaving him waiting alone. Su Bin remained in the same location, expecting the Crown Prince’s return, but no one informed him otherwise, and there were no guards nearby to provide information.
As time passed, he began to feel discomfort in his stomach, likely due to overindulging in seafood. The discomfort intensified, and he eventually decided to find a nearby restroom to alleviate his discomfort. Unfamiliar with the surroundings, he sought help from an elderly worker in the backyard, who directed him to the restroom. After spending an extended period there due to his condition, he emerged to discover that the Crown Prince had been searching for him extensively, leading to a misunderstanding that he had gone missing. Su Bin expressed his embarrassment, attributing the situation to his overindulgence in seafood.
The Third Prince listened attentively to Su Bin’s explanation.
The Third Prince also learned that the Crown Prince had assembled a group of people to search the backyard’s rockery for Su Bin.
Given this new information, he felt a sense of urgency to head to the backyard.
Although Su Bin’s explanation seemed plausible, the Third Prince suspected that there might be more to the story.
The Crown Prince had initially summoned Su Bin to the backyard, only to later claim he had other matters to attend to, leaving Su Bin waiting alone.
It appeared clear to the Third Prince that there was a plot against Su Bin.
As the Crown Prince organized an extensive search for Su Bin after his apparent disappearance, the Third Prince concluded that Su Bin was likely inside the fake cave in the backyard.
His Highness the Crown Prince had brought numerous individuals to the rockery, implying that he intended to catch them in a compromising situation.
However, Su Bin had emerged from elsewhere, complicating the situation.
The Third Prince felt a sense of frustration. Ever since the cruise ship incident,
he had wanted to assign someone to monitor the Crown Prince and the fifth
princess, ready to intervene if they posed any harm to Su Bin. However, his
strategic advisor had cautioned against interference, emphasizing the
potential repercussions of such actions. The Third Prince reluctantly had to
heed this advice and refrain from meddling in the matter. He understood that
if the Crown Prince reported to the Emperor that he had been surveilled, it
could result in a severe offense.
With these limitations in mind, the Third Prince was determined not to provide any ammunition for the Crown Prince’s use. He was left to bear the burden of enduring the situation.
Upon hearing that Su Bin was missing, the Third Prince couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
The Third Prince couldn’t help but regret not assigning someone to monitor the Crown Prince and the fifth princess. However, as he observed Su Bin now, a
sense of realization washed over him.
It seemed that the Crown Prince’s intentions to scheme against Su Bin had been foiled, and instead, the situation was reversed.
With a complicated expression, the Third Prince proposed, “Let’s go together!” “Okay,” Su Bin agreed.
The two of them hurried to the backyard and arrived to find a large crowd gathered around the rockery. The area was teeming with people trying to get a closer look at something that had transpired within.
The Third Prince was informed by a guard who had observed the situation. “His Highness brought a group of people to the rockery to search for Su Bin when they heard strange sounds coming from within. They rushed inside and discovered a man and a woman who had just been engaged in an intimate encounter. Both of them were undressed.’
“The shocking revelation was that the woman turned out to be the fifth princess, while the man was purportedly a male courtesan from Yihong
Courtyard..”
