"Yes, I happened upon the Third Prince by chance, and after a casual conversation, we discovered that we quite saw eye to eye. That is how the later tea rendezvous came to be," Su Ruoxue answered candidly.
"Are you sure it was just a chance encounter?"
Su Ruoxue was startled, looking up at Shao He with panic flashing in her eyes.
Her reaction was entirely within Shao He's expectations. He reached out to check her pulse, and before he could finish, Su Ruoxue drew back her hand in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said, "I know I shouldn't keep this child, but my heart could not bear to part with it. I beg for mercy from the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort."
"Your Highness, none of this has anything to do with her. It is I who lost my virtue after drinking, and so..."
Pei Haolan stopped midway, the rest of his sentence was already clear to everyone.
Shao He scoffed and asked, "When did you two become intimate?"
