Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell on Ye Chen's face, he awoke with a sense of awareness.
Ye Chen didn't linger in bed, because he had an appointment to keep. He had promised Chu Yanran that he would have a meal with the Empress and listen to her confide her thoughts.
"Are you going to keep an appointment?" Zhang Xinlan asked, looking at the very ethereal Ye Chen, suddenly breaking the silence.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Ye Chen replied, a sense of unease starting to bubble up inside him.
"You're having lunch with Chu Yanran, aren't you?" Zhang Xinlan's words transformed Ye Chen's unease into reality.
"You even know about this?!" Ye Chen was astonished.
Ye Chen realized that someone must have tipped off Zhang Xinlan, and that person could only be Su Binglan!
What on earth was Su Binglan trying to do?
