Who would have thought that before she could hesitate for a moment, she heard the Crown Prince ask, "But what about Bai Yueguang, the one in my father's heart who has been dead for many years and whose appearance is so similar to my mother?"

White Moonlight!

Hearing these three words, Li Shu blurted out, "Grandmother also showed Her Highness the storybook my mother gave her back then?"

Most of the male protagonists in the storybooks her grandmother had given her had a white moonlight!

But Yin Hengyou shook his head and said, "Your mother gave it to me before she died, but the covers of those books are really hard to describe..."

To him, who was only four or five years old at the time, the women on the covers wearing strange clothes and posing seductively were simply monsters.

Not to mention reading the contents, he felt like he was going to be eaten if he just looked at the cover for a few more seconds.

So he thought that Aunt Azhi used those books to scare him because he claimed in public that he had grown up, so he changed the covers of those books, mixed them into his collection of books, and put them away, planning to read them when he grew up.

As a result, not long after that, Aunt Azhi suddenly passed away.

And he became busy.

There is always something to learn all day long.

Gradually, I completely forgot about those books.

A few days ago, he heard that Ali had suddenly become addicted to reading storybooks, and suddenly remembered that Aunt Azhi had given him some storybooks.

Fortunately, when he moved into the East Palace, he put all his books into a secret room, so no one else had accidentally seen those books over the years.

But those books were extremely boring to him as he didn't like listening to operas or reading storybooks.

He was even more disgusted by the protagonists in the book who were willing to destroy their families in order to revive their white moonlight.

But after hearing what Ali said, and thinking about his father's attitude towards his mother with the cold eyes, he suddenly connected everything.

To confirm this, he asked again, "Those storybooks that the imperial aunt gave you should have normal covers, not so vulgar and revealing that people can't look at them directly, right?"

Li Shu nodded. "There's only a title on the cover, though it's a bit hard to describe..."

Knew it!

Aunt Azhi gave the books ugly covers in order to prevent him from reading those storybooks immediately!

I'm afraid Aunt Azhi has guessed that he will forget those storybooks, and then remember them again many years later because of some opportunity!

I just don't know if the two things, the imperial aunt giving A-li the storybook and A-li's obsession with the storybook, which were passed on to him, were part of Aunt A-zhi's plan...

Thinking of this, Yin Hengyou sighed secretly.

Although he had always felt that Aunt Azhi was powerful and omnipotent since he was a child, he believed what Aunt Azhi said and did as she said.

But Aunt Azhi has passed away for so many years.

Does she really know what is happening now?

"Your Highness..."

Li Shu called out softly, and Yin Hengyou, who seemed to be lost in thought, immediately looked at her.

She then said, "No matter what storybook my mother gave Your Highness, since Your Highness has already guessed from those stories that the ghost who occupied the Empress's body was the Emperor's White Moonlight, I will not hide it from Your Highness. That person was called Ying Wan. She was once the Emperor's maid and bed warmer. Later, she suddenly disappeared. I guess she was eliminated by the late Emperor."

Ying Wan...

Yin Hengyou thought about the name and his expression gradually became serious.

Ever since he realized that his father had placed countless eyes around him, he knew that his father did not trust him as much as he appeared.

But he once thought that was a common problem among rulers.

So I never took it to heart.

He has always done his best to fulfill his duties as the crown prince.

Never did anything beyond the pale.

So as not to make his father more suspicious of him.

However, it now seems that my father does not have the common problem of a monarch, nor does he not trust him enough. Rather, just like he does not really like Fei'er, he does not like him as the eldest son at all!

As far as he knew, the Queen Mother...

No, Ying Wan has been taking good care of herself lately. She must be preparing to give birth to a prince whom the emperor will definitely like and trust!

Thinking of this, his face instantly became a little cold.

But the moment Li Shu spoke to him again, his expression softened a little.

"There is one more thing I originally wanted to tell Your Highness today. From now on, the Crown Princess' life will be in danger!"

When it came to Murong Yunchu, Yin Hengyou's expression suddenly changed. "Do you know what kind of danger this is?"

Li Shu's heart moved.

The prince immediately believed her words!

Then she recalled the images of Murong Yunchu, and said with embarrassment, "I don't know exactly what kind of danger it was. I only saw the Crown Princess lying in a pool of blood, and... lying in the coffin..."

At the end of her words, Li Shu saw that Yin Hengyou's face had turned completely pale. Shocked at the fact that he had such deep feelings for Murong Yunchu, she stood up and knelt before Yin Hengyou, saying, "I believe Your Highness will be able to protect the Crown Princess! So please don't act impulsively! The most important thing I want to discuss with Your Highness is about our future. If the Emperor continues to embarrass Fei'er and starts to embarrass Your Highness after Fei'er marries Feng Lan, please..."

Suddenly, Yin Hengyou raised his hand to stop Li Shu from continuing.

He stood up again and helped Li Shu up.

Then he let out a long sigh, and after his expression slowly calmed down, he lowered his voice as much as possible and said, "I know what you want to say, but don't say it yet. Not only to me, but to anyone else. Give me some time to think it over."

Li Shu bowed and replied "yes", and Yin Hengyou said, "I will go back today, and we will discuss it in detail next time."

He needs to go back and calm down.

Otherwise, my father would have noticed something during the morning court today.

But when Li Shu sent him behind the screen, he stopped and did not climb out the window.

Just as Li Shu was about to retreat behind the screen, thinking he didn't want her to be there, she suddenly heard him muffledly say, "I remember you were very good at drawing since you were a child. Could you draw what you saw for me?"

Li Shu hesitated for a few moments and nodded in agreement.

After Yin Hengyou left, she immediately called Qinghong Cuiwei in to prepare writing materials for her.

When Lin Yuan arrived, she immediately stopped writing and asked, "Is everything okay?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very skilled. He didn't alarm anyone and everything went very smoothly."

"But his skills are far inferior to yours, right?"

"Yes, but the Crown Prince's martial arts style seems familiar to me. I intend to find out who taught him."

"..."

Li Shu didn't care much about that, so she didn't ask any more questions and just let Lin Yuan go back and rest.

After dawn, when Nanny Gui brought Li Shu breakfast, Li Shu had just put down her pen and stretched her wrists a few times to relax when Lin Yuan came again, "Miss, something happened in the East Palace!"
