Yuan Bao, utterly perplexed, watched as Gu Changsheng didn't bother to explain and, pulling Zhou Mu along, withdrew from the territory of the Northern Great Camp.
As a house-raised eunuch endowed with Inner Strength, Yuan Bao's eavesdropping skills were, begrudgingly, passable!
For instance, he could hear the conversation between Xia Ruyan and Huaheng Mantian in the Northern Great Camp loud and clear, and he did not miss a single word!
When they returned to their hiding place, Yuan Bao couldn't wait to move closer to his own wife, yearning with a burning desire to know. Even in their covert hideout, his wife maintained a leisurely and carefree demeanor; her desire for knowledge was exceptionally strong, "My lady, could it be possible that Xia Ruyan is truly loyal and devoted?"
"Oh?" Gu Changsheng responded, shrugging nonchalantly, "Perhaps."
She no longer dared to see people in such an idealistic way; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
