Many people knew that Xiao Chengqi had been the target of an assassination attempt at the hunting grounds. He had since claimed to be ill and was recuperating in his mansion, conveniently avoiding the whole mess involving Xiao Chengxuan.
'Now, those people have finally returned. I just wonder… did they bring back the antidote?'
"If they brought back the antidote, then all is well. If not, I'm afraid…" Ye Jingyan trailed off, his mind already racing with countless possibilities.
This was a truly sensitive time. Countless people were watching Prince Lie's Mansion, both openly and in secret.
'After all, Prince Qi has been deposed. As long as Prince Lie can make a full recovery, isn't victory all but guaranteed for him?'
Ye Chutang was noncommittal. "Who knows?"
Ye Yunfeng snorted. "Speaking of which, the investigation into Prince Lie's assassination attempt hasn't yielded any results. If Prince Qi was involved, I wonder if it could be used to add to his crimes."
