The Crown Prince should have heard everything behind the rockery unless he was deaf.
"Is that you? You... how come you are here?"
That was the voice of the Crown Princess.
"I didn't want to come, but I had no choice."

"You must be out of your mind, this is the Imperial Palace, and you dare to meet me here in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of getting caught!"
"Don't worry, my martial arts are very good, I won't let anyone find out."

"Once I have delivered the young master's message, I will leave. The young master wants you to remember that you are his woman, remember your identity! Don't keep avoiding him. If there's a next time, he won't guarantee he can cover for your relationship anymore."
"Are you threatening me?"
"The message has been delivered, I'm leaving now."
