Lei Wanxi came back to the Palace. "Ahh, it's so cold. I should have worn an overcoat," Lei Wanxi murmured while rubbing his palms together. Even the servants had slept, and only royal guards were guarding the Palace. 

Lei Wanxi hastened towards his chamber while yawning and turned right. "Ahh," he almost got hit against Zhu Lin, who quickly put her palm on his lips and dragged him away. She halted behind a pillar and looked around. Lei Wanxi tried to remove her palm from his mouth, but it was in vain. 

"Listen to me carefully," Zhu Lin requested him and put her hand down. "I am coming from the second prince's chamber," she stated. 

"Why did you enter the second brother's chamber?" Lei Wanxi asked. 

"But I couldn't enter," Zhu Lin stated. 

Lei Wanxi huffed. "You could not do this simple task," He scoffed. 

"Let's go to the Second Prince's chamber," Zhu Lin suggested to Lei Wanxi. 

"We will go tomorrow. I am sleepy," Lei Wanxi stepped ahead when Zhu Lin grabbed his arm and pushed him against the pillar. 

"Prince Wanxi, we need to find evidence against the Second Prince. How could you be so careless? It is about your Fifth Brother," Zhu Lin asserted. 

"I know. But a tired body cannot do much. It can only hinder work," Lei Wanxi pronounced. 

Zhu Lin glared at Lei Wanxi, who glared at her back. "Except roaming what did even Prince Wanxi do?" Zhu Lin attacked his ego.

"Just tell me that you need my help. Can't you even beg for my help?" Lei Wanxi said annoyingly. 

"Fine. I beg you, Prince Wanxi," Zhu Lin whispered and joined her both hands. "Please help me almighty Prince Wanxi," the ironic statement of Zhu Lin did not seem good to Lei Wanxi but if he argued with her anymore, she would also argue with him. 

"At least let me buy my overcoat. I am cold," stated Lei Wanxi. 

Zhu Lin removed her overcoat and pushed it towards Lei Wanxi. "Wear this," Zhu Lin told her, who yanked her hand away. 

"Why would I wear your clothes?" He murmured when Zhu Lin took a step towards him and made him wear the overcoat. "You already wasted so much time. At this rate, the Sun will rise, and we will not be able to find anything," Zhu Lin stated. Her voice was as low as possible and placed her hands on his shoulders. 

"We need to find now what the Second Prince is plotting. It's about the life of your Fifth Brother and Sister Lili," Zhu Lin patted his shoulders. At that moment, Lei Wanxi's heart suddenly thumped against his chest, and he curled his fingers. He did not want to have this feeling at this time. 

"Let's go," Zhu Lin told him. 

"What if someone sees us?" Lei Wanxi questioned her. 

"It's late. No one will see," Zhu Lin replied and looked around. Lei Wanxi did not agree with her. He had heard from Sheng Li about the spies. He grasped Zhu Lin's hand and told her to follow him. 

"I know about the Palace more than you," stated Lei Wanxi. The two went to Yongzheng's chamber, escaping the eyes of the Royal Guards. He took Zhu Lin from a secret door to Yongzheng's chamber, who asked him how he found out. 

Lei Wanxi placed his index finger on his lips, gesturing to her to be quiet. Both were now inside the chamber of Prince Yongzheng. Lei Wanxi went towards the bed and found how peacefully Yongzheng was sleeping. He came to Zhu Lin and told her that they should start searching. 

Zhu Lin nodded her head, and the two started to search the room for the evidence. Lei Wanxi checked the study desk of Yongzheng and found the scrolls on important state works. He gradually pulled out the drawer and checked inside. There were brushes and some ink sticks. He closed it and went towards the shelves where a few books were put, and a few antiques. 

Zhu Lin also searched the shelves. But there was nothing. They kept searching for the next fifteen minutes but found nothing. It disappointed them and the two left Yongzheng's chamber. 

They came to Lei Wanxi's chamber. "There was nothing suspicious," Zhu Lin was frustrated. She put her hands on her waist.

"I will talk about this with Brother Sheng. Only he can do something," Lei Wanxi asserted. "These past few months were full of trouble. Brother Yongzheng might be alerted after seeing how Brother Sheng eliminated the enemies from his path," Lei Wanxi deduced. 

Zhu Lin hummed. "How did you find out that secret door to his chamber?" She curiously asked. 

"Brother Sheng and I once mistakenly found that. We were teens then," Lei Wanxi replied. "Now, you shall leave. It's past midnight. If someone sees you with me, it will not be good," Lei Wanxi expressed his concerns. Zhu Lin put her hand down from her waist and went towards Lei Wanxi. 

"Stay there. Don't get close to me," Lei Wanxi ordered her. "Listen to a Prince's command," he added. However, Zhu Lin did not stop and halted, in front of him, keeping a few inch distance between them. 

"Prince Wanxi, I am still waiting for your answer. Hopefully, you will answer me before I leave," stated Zhu Lin. 

Lei Wanxi acted as if he did not know. "What are you speaking about?" He raised his brow. 

"Do not act, Prince Wanxi. I am talking about my confession. I professed my feelings to you, so I need an answer. I know that you also like me," Zhu Lin asserted. "But you still are fighting with your heart and mind. I am the most suitable woman for you," Zhu Lin proclaimed and grasped his hand. 

She brought it near her chest and said, "My heart races when I am close to you. I will love you with all my heart if you accept my love." She brought their hands down and kept her gaze on him. 

Lei Wanxi did not know what to answer. "I do not love you, I guess," Lei Wanxi did not know why he said that. 

Zhu Lin was disheartened to hear that. "But, it feels strange. When I say to myself that I do not love you," Lei Wanxi asserted. "I asked Sister Lili about these strange feelings. How can I like a woman who always made fun of me and fought with me? She told me that I have fallen in love. However, I want time. Can you not stay longer? I still have to understand myself," Lei Wanxi affirmed. Zhu Lin was happy that Lei Wanxi was truthful to her. 

"I never enjoyed the company of a man except yours. I never made fun of Prince Wanxi. I again apologize for my misbehavior," Zhu Lin clarified herself. 

Lei Wanxi took a step and brought his fingers under her chin. He brought her closer to him and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Zhu Lin widened her eyes. Lei Wanxi pulled away and peered at her. 

"The feelings of my heart are real, but I need to fight with my mind too. That's why I need time to reciprocate fully to you," Lei Wanxi stated.
