Despite all the points of suspicion, Chun'er claims she was just jealous, and you can only drop your suspicion for now.
However, Shu Xian sees more in you after the incident. You get stopped halfway while you are out of the palace on duty.
Eunuch: [Angry] Who's there? You dare stop the palace's carriage?
Murong Chong: [Smiles] The girl inside is an old friend of mine.
Eunuch: Lies. Do you know who's in there?
You thought it was a pick-up artist, but turns out it's a familiar voice. You open the curtain and see a familiar arrogant face.
Xiu Ying: [Call out] I know him
You get rid of the coachman eunuch and see Murong Chong grinning at you.
Xiu Ying: How did you know I was in here?
Murong Chong: I was going to say I'm your ex, but then I decided against it. Well, as your ex, I know enough about you.
Xiu Ying: Still being silly as usual. When did you get back to the capital?
Murong Chong: Ha, it's your fault for not letting me know that you're going to the palace. I got the news way too late. I should never have left the capital with my master...[Staring] Why would you give up your life in a wealthy family to be a maid?
Xiu Ying: [Shrugs] Don't try to guess a fine lady' thoughts.
Murong Chong: You're always like this. Stubborn once you decide on something. Either way though, I support you.
His passionate expression makes you sad. You don't really know what to say.
Murong Chong: Anyways. Let's talk about something more interesting. So I was at the brothel yesterday...
Xiu Ying: And that's your interesting story?
Murong Chong: Hey, hey, let me finish! The point is that there's something up with that brothel. The whole building was highly secure. Normal customers weren't even allowed in. I snuck up though. Who'd have thought it was full of government officials partying with the ladies. Quite a splendid sight.
You almost want to laugh at this silliness.
Xiu Ying: Was it fun over there?
Murong Chong: I was just curious, and it kind of bored me once I was inside. I won't go there again, so don't go tell on me.
Xiu Ying: What are you panicking for. I'm just curious...
After saying goodbye, you happen to pass by the brothel on the way, and give it a few looks.
A familiar carriage comes into sight. The Crown Prince used that carriage in your last life.
You sneak behind him and find the Crown Prince walking into the brothel's side door. An image pops into your mind.
