Miaoyin Zhenren looked like he had gone mad.

Zhao Yi glanced at her, his expression composed.

Having grown up in the royal family, Zhao Yi had seen all kinds of lunatics.

His heart had long become colder than a butcher's knife.

Compared to those lunatics, Miaoyin Zhenren was just a small fry.

Zhao Yi did not even blink.

He turned his head directly and walked straight towards Four Seas Restaurant.

As soon as he entered, the previously noisy hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Zhao Yi.

Examining, amused expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

Earlier, he heard from Miaoyin Zhenren that everyone knew.

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Thinking "everyone" was just royal family members.

Now it seemed that it really was literally true!

Everyone knew!

"Second brother, I'll remember this grudge!"

Zhao Yi cursed his second brother Zhao Mian in his heart, thoroughly.

Then, he reached out and pulled out the Crown Prince's Token.

Boom!

Everyone's expression changed, and they simultaneously knelt to the ground.

"Greetings, Crown Prince!"

Humph!

Laugh!

Weren't you all good at laughing?

Why can't you laugh now, have you stopped liking it?

Zhao Yi snorted coldly, put away the token, and proudly walked past everyone.

A gentleman takes revenge, from dawn till dusk!

Miaoyin Zhenren followed behind Zhao Yi, seeing him flaunting his Crown Prince's authority, her expression was both annoyed and amused.

Already an adult, still has the temperament of a child.

"Everyone stand up!"

Miaoyin Zhenren waved her hand, stepping behind Zhao Yi.

The people in the hall quietly raised their heads, and only after seeing Zhao Yi leave did they rise from the ground.

At first, they could still hold back.

Gradually, some couldn't help but start laughing aloud.

Finally, the laughter grew louder and exploded, even more joyful than before.

"Our Crown Prince is really a wonderful person!"

"So entertaining!"

"This is the innocence of a child!"

"Miss Su really has bad judgment, abandoning such a good Crown Prince for an affair with a Wild Monk!"

"The Crown Prince losing a concubine, who knows, might not be a bad thing?"

Second floor.

Zuo Xiaoluo's table was by the window.

On the table, there was a jar of rice wine, a basket of meat buns, and two plates of side dishes for drinking.

Listening to the increasingly close footsteps, her expression showed panic for the first time.

She looked up and asked the retainer beside her, "Is my hair messy? Does my makeup look appropriate? Does the color of my dress match my complexion?"

The two retainers looked at each other in confusion.

They had seen General Zuo Luo who fought on the battlefield, and the chef Zuo in the kitchen, but never the girlish demeanor of Zuo Xiaoluo before them.

The two exchanged glances, and said in chorus, "Appropriate!"

Zuo Xiaoluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat upright in front of the table, eagerly watching the direction of the staircase.

Zhao Yi was coming upstairs.

Her heart filled with unease, anxious and uncertain.

"I wonder if he still remembers me?"

"Surely, he doesn't remember, he was only five at the time."

"Girls in the Capital City are all knowledgeable and courteous, what if she dislikes me for not being educated?"

Just as she was pondering, Zhao Yi came up from downstairs.

Zuo Xiaoluo stood up, wanting to reach out and greet Zhao Yi.

Then.

She saw Zhao Yi pass directly to the third-floor staircase.

From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at the window on the second floor!

Zhao Yi had a private room in Four Seas Restaurant, generally going straight upstairs, rarely stopping downstairs.

Zuo Xiaoluo's outstretched hand paused in the air, her smile on her face also froze.

She was about to go upstairs to pursue Zhao Yi, when suddenly her gaze moved.

Unbeknownst to her, someone had appeared before her.

Zuo Xiaoluo looked at Miaoyin Zhenren, puzzled, "Aren't you the person downstairs just now? What do you want from me?"

Miaoyin Zhenren did not answer, instead, looking at the rice wine on the table, raising her eyebrows, "Is this Mistress Sun's rice wine?"

Zuo Xiaoluo nodded, "Yes."

Miaoyin Zhenren shook her head, "Mistress Su's rice wine is mediocre, but that woman is beautiful and skilled at socializing, which is why she's gained such fame in Shengjing City! If you want to drink top-grade rice wine, you should go find Second Prince Zhao Mian. That guy brews excellent wine. Aside from rouge, rice wine is the best!"

Zuo Xiaoluo nodded slightly, as if she'd remembered these words.

Then, she looked at Miaoyin Zhenren and suddenly said, "Are you the head of Xuanzhen Temple?"

Miaoyin Zhenren raised her eyebrows, "You know me?"

Zuo Xiaoluo nodded, "The temple head's reputation is well-known in the city, easy to find out."

Miaoyin Zhenren looked at Zuo Xiaoluo, speaking solemnly, "Since General Zuo knows my identity, I won't beat around the bush. General Zuo didn't enter the city with the Vanguard Battalion, but sneaked in ahead; what is the reason?"

Zuo Xiaoluo looked up at the staircase where there was no longer a figure, a blush appearing on her face, "I wanted to see him in advance."

Miaoyin Zhenren: "..."

Miaoyin Zhenren was puzzled, "What's so good about him that you're taken with him?"

Zuo Xiaoluo touched the Jade Pendant hanging around her neck, her face full of smiles.

"He is kind, loving, hardworking, doesn't bully the weak, cares for the elderly and children..."

"Stop!" Miaoyin Zhenren raised her hand to interrupt her, looking bewildered, "Which of those traits you just mentioned relate to that guy at all?"

Miaoyin Zhenren looked at Zuo Xiaoluo, utterly baffled.

Setting aside everything else.

Just the fact that he doesn't bully the weak is not something Zhao Yi would do!

Zuo Xiaoluo was on the second floor; didn't she hear the commotion downstairs just now?

The people merely laughed at Zhao Yi, and he immediately used his Crown Prince status to make them kowtow.

This petty and vengeful character is like that of a smug little person.

What's there that shows he doesn't use strength to bully the weak?

Miaoyin Zhenren was speechless.
