Wen Yan'er came to the grove where she and Lu Youwei had many trysts with ease.

As usual, Zhu'er watched from afar in the dark.

Lu Youwei was extremely anxious. As soon as he saw Wen Yan'er enter the grove, he rushed forward impatiently, hugged her in his arms, and then touched her all over, as if he wanted to make up for all the time in one breath.

"Hey, Brother Lu, please slow down, we have plenty of time."

Wen Yaner said coquettishly.

"I don't like you being so impatient."

Lu Youwei felt a little itchy because of Wen Yan'er, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiao Yan'er, I just miss you so much. It feels like a long time since we last met."

The two of them flirted with each other in the woods.

Zhu'er in the distance rolled her eyes and complained in her heart.

These two are so annoying every time they meet, it's really unbearable.

That man looks like a fat pig. I really don’t know how the Crown Princess could eat him.

A breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if cheering for the pair of wild geese.

However, a strange noise suddenly came from the depths of the woods, as if some unidentified object was approaching quietly.

Zhu'er pricked up her ears alertly, trying to capture more information.

The strange noise was getting closer and closer, and finally a figure jumped out from the woods, shouting loudly.

"Ah! There's a ghost!"

Wen Yan'er and Lu Youwei's hearts instantly rose to their throats, but after they saw who the person was, their hearts quickly fell back to their original positions.

It turned out to be the prince's concubine, Zhou Hanyi.

Somehow she had come to this grove, and was now looking around in a panic, talking non-stop.

"I clearly saw a shadow moving just now, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Wen Yan'er covered her mouth in fear, praying in her heart that Zhu'er would give her some help.

Zhu'er was also acting at her best.

"Concubine Zhou, it's your servant. I'm in urgent need of going to the bathroom."

Zhou Hanyi stopped. The woods were dark and she didn't dare to go there alone.

"It's Zhu'er, why are you running so far to pee? Be careful that your sister won't be able to find you later."

"Yes, thank you Concubine Zhou for reminding me. I will go back right away."

Zhu Er pretended to walk out, and after a few steps asked, "Concubine Zhou, why are you here at this time? This place is still some distance away from the Crown Prince's Mansion."

"Oh, I just couldn't sleep, so I just walked around. Why, do you want to control this sister too?"

"No, I will leave now."

After Zhu'er finished speaking, she really acted as if it was true and hurriedly ran in the direction of "going back", but in fact she took a detour and continued her "guarding" mission.

When Zhou Hanyi saw Zhu'er leaving, he also prepared to go home.

Zhou Hanyi had just taken two steps when she was almost staggered by the sudden sound.

Turning around, he saw that it was Wenjie, the third son of the Prime Minister.

He walked out from the shadows of the trees with a look of affection and pride, as if he was the hidden boss of this grove.

Young masters from other families have been working hard to bring honor to their families since childhood. Wenjie traveled around since he was a teenager because he had an older brother to support him.

In fact, no one knew that he had already joined Ling Jinhan's camp.

He also has an engagement with his childhood sweetheart, Zhou Hanyi, the daughter of Minister Zhou of the Ministry of War.

But Zhou Hanyi was given to the prince as a concubine by the old emperor.

"Yiyi, I know you still have me in your heart. Even though the night is dark, it cannot hide my true love for you."

Yes, Zhou Hanyi was not just walking around casually. She came to the grove today because she received a note from Wenjie.

Wen Yan'er and Lu Youwei were stunned as they listened and looked at each other.

As if to say: "The plot twists are faster than turning the pages of a book!"

"Master Wen San, your affectionate confession comes a little too suddenly. My little heart can't bear it."

Zhou Hanyi was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, but there was a subtle flash of complex emotions in her eyes.

"Yiyi, stop pretending. I know you had no choice but to marry the prince. But I am willing to wait for you until the day you truly accept me."

Wenjie spoke passionately, as if he were the male lead in a romance drama.

"Master Wen San, we are already in the past. Please don't contact me again in the future."

As soon as Wenjie finished speaking, Zhou Hanyi took out a piece of paper with a serious look on her face and solemnly stuffed it into Wenjie's hand as if issuing a "breakup notice".

Wenjie couldn't believe it. This girl loved him to death, so how could this happen?

He hugged Zhou Hanyi.

"Yiyi, we are childhood sweethearts. Didn't you say you would wait for me when I went traveling..."

"Didn't you say that even if I traveled all over the world, you would plant peach blossoms outside your house and wait for me to come back?"

Zhou Hanyi gently pushed Wenjie's arms away and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But I am married to the prince now."

Wenjie suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning. He tried to save the situation.

"Yiyi, you have changed. You were not like this before..."

"Yes, I have changed." Zhou Hanyi interrupted him, with pain flashing in her eyes.

"I used to be a simple little sheep; now I am an upgraded version of the 'smart little fox'. So, Mr. Wen San, let's part ways in peace and find a new life for each of us."

After saying that, Zhou Hanyi turned around and was about to leave, leaving Wenjie with a dazed look on his face standing there in the wind.

Wen Yan'er appeared out of nowhere, with a look of excitement on her face.

"Oh, Mr. Wen San, this is the legendary 'failure in love', right? But it doesn't matter. We don't have anything else in the palace, but there are many beauties. You can take your time to choose."

Wen Yaner had a gloating expression on her face, as if to say "I knew it would be like this", and the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears.

"Oh, Third Brother, your expression is comparable to an ice sculpture in winter, but don't worry, the warmth in our palace does not only come from the fire."

"Don't be discouraged. As the saying goes, 'The world is so big, I want to go see it and find where true love is.'

There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should we have unrequited love for a flower?

Who knows, your soulmate may be wearing small steps, waiting for you at the next corner to perform a "corner encounter with love"."

Wen Yan'er spoke with great excitement, as if she was the heroine who was about to appear.

Wen Jie looked at Wen Yaner coldly, and his eyes changed from cold to complicated.
