Fortunately, Xia Qiao covered her face with a black veil, and that was why no one could see how her face was turning red from the conversation between Lan Zihao and the Emperor.
Lan Zihao did ask her to hide behind him and not have to say anything, but even if the Prince let her say anything, she didn't know what to say when the young man implied that the two of them were indeed going to do something only adults could do later.
The Emperor might have misunderstood Lan Zihao's intention of bringing the veiled girl to the inn tonight, but instead of explaining his true intentions, the young man only added to his father's misunderstanding.
'But I also don't know why he brought me here, so I can't say that the Emperor misunderstood Lan Zihao either,' Xia Qiao thought to herself as she frowned at the young Prince's broad back.
