"You mean…" Ran Yan's eyes lit up, suggesting that Liu Pinrang "unintentionally" leak this matter to the Crown Prince would be much more credible than if it came from someone else.
Ran Yan did not continue, but instead asked, "How could the Emperor appoint a new palace maid to the Eastern Palace at this time?"
Was it a sign that he still had full confidence in the Crown Prince?
Xiao Song's hand mischievously slid into Ran Yan's clothes, caressing a soft piece of flesh, smoother than silk satin, warmer than mutton-fat jade. He sighed, a sound of both satisfaction and longing that turned hoarser and much gentler, "Since the previous Crown Prince's teacher Li Wenji passed away, the Emperor has yet to find a more suitable candidate to assist the Crown Prince. In fact, if it were not for his death, the Crown Prince would not have indulged in such dissipation."
