A team of stern-faced household soldiers burst into the private room, stunning everyone inside.
Moments later, the Second Prince emerged, dressed and visibly furious, whispering angrily, "Gu Lan, we were friends once. It was I who first brought you to the Drunk Flower House. Why do you now insist on opposing me?"
As a prince, sneaking out of the palace was against protocol, and now he had been caught in public.
Gu Lan suddenly realized, "So it was you who brought me to the brothel back then."
"What are you trying to do?!" the Second Prince shouted in rage.
Gu Lan took out a folding fan, waving it gently, exuding elegance and composure in stark contrast to the fuming Rong Qijun.
"Apologies, it was a mistake this time."
Rong Qijun was livid, but due to the many eyes upon him, he said nothing more. Outside the palace, nothing he said would be right, and all he wanted was to escape.
