Tu Chang'an knew of what that Heaven Temple outsider had said before.
That matter was so exceedingly taboo that only Tu Chang'an and Crown Prince Ji Ao knew of it. That was why Crown Prince Ji Ao had summoned him to this secret chamber to ask about it.
The reason for Tu Chang'an's drastic change of expression was also simple.
"Your Highness, the Heaven Temple outsider's so-called Unspeakable Deed was intended for the circumstances at that time. It is an extremely perilous undertaking. Now that Your Highness has assumed the position of Crown Prince and the imperial throne lies within reach in the future, there is absolutely no need to carry out that Unspeakable Deed," Tu Chang'an said.
At that, Crown Prince Ji Ao chuckled. "Absolutely no need? Then, sir, take a look at this secret file!"
Taking the jade slip, Tu Chang'an sent his divine sense into it, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"This was gathered by the spies I planted within the palace. It records the details of my Imperial Father's daily life over the past year.
"It is plain to see that my Imperial Father's body has become more vigorous with every passing day—healthier, even stronger!
"Look at these details, sir. A year ago, my Imperial Father's health had already greatly improved, but at the time he had only just regained his virility. When he favored the imperial harem, it was only once every ten days or so.
"Half a year ago, it reached its peak. Imperial Father favored the harem every night, sometimes even taking three women in a single night. Three months ago, Imperial Father began to restrain himself, changing it to once every two days, with extreme regularity.
"Speaking of which, even I am only capable of this much now, am I not?"
