The speakers were two maidens, and by the sound of it, it was clear they had sneaked out to gossip about affairs concerning Xiang Yun and Wanyan Jingchen. Cai Wei and Queen Namu Khan stopped in their tracks, listening intently to the voices inside.
"Alas, how times change! Remember how Crown Prince Wanyan chased the horse down the street for her, killed enemies in the manor for her on a rainy night, and now they have become strangers. Wu Xiangyun must be heartbroken to death!" The maiden sighed with a tone oozing with sarcasm.
"Serves her right for being heartbroken. Who asked her to be unchaste? Flirting around, how could she ever think someone as noble as Crown Prince Wanyan would want her? Not to mention her wilted willow-like body, even we, we, cough cough, are merely supporting characters!"
The girl's voice softened, turning from anger to resentment and dejection.
