Lost your way?

Situ Xunxiao pursed his lips. Was she suspicious of something, which was why she hinted at this? Situ Xunxiao knew Zongzheng Xiaoting's understanding. If she didn't have clues and suspicions, she wouldn't just casually say something that would change other people's thinking.

In her mind, a person's words often affect many decisions, and her own words are even more important to Qin Xiao. As her right-hand man, Qin Xiao will inevitably bring these words to her. Is she hinting to herself that she has found the wrong direction?

"Perhaps, we should change our angle." Situ Xunxiao stood up, his eyes sharp, "Ask all the secret guards to search for clues again. Start from the place where I was assassinated."

"yes!"

"Also, we must not let down our guard even a bit when it comes to Gong Yunfei." Situ Xunxiao frowned.

"Understood." The two of them looked solemn, and after their master waved his hand, they retreated one after another.

Not long after Situ Xunxiao walked out of the study, Xiang Bi Chi and Lin Yin from the South Garden also took Yin Yu with them. At the corner of the corridor, they happened to meet Situ Xunxiao head-on.

"Your Majesty!" The three of them bowed.

"It's just right. I was looking for you." Situ Xunxiao nodded lightly. The smell of alcohol on his body had not yet dissipated, but the clarity and coldness in his eyes made people understand that at this moment, the prince was as sober as before.

"Yes!" The three of them were a little nervous and waited on the side. But when they saw Situ Xunxiao striding towards the pavilion not far away, they could only follow him.

At this moment, Xiang Bichi and Lin Yin were naturally the most worried. After all, not long after the princess went in, the prince woke up. So, does that mean that the cold war between the princess and the prince has ended? And if it has ended, does it mean that the good days that the prince noticed them and gave them opportunities because of the cold war between the prince and the princess will never come back?

The two people were really nervous. Especially just now, they saw that the drunk prince still cared about the princess' words, and they also clearly understood that even if he was drunk, the prince would not want to hurt the princess in the slightest. This awareness made them start to worry. The princess's attitude towards them now was not as enthusiastic as before. Maybe it was because the princess gradually wanted to monopolize the prince. Then, seeing the glory and wealth in their hands fly away like this, how unwilling would they be?

While everyone was nervous, they had already followed Situ Xunxiao into the pavilion.

The three people who were standing cautiously saw Situ Xunxiao smile slightly. His usually cold face became a little more handsome because of this extremely subtle smile. Xiang Bichi, who was immersed in his smile, was distracted for a moment.

"Please sit down!" Situ Xunxiao's rare gentleness made everyone present a little intoxicated.

"yes!"

"Is the prince in good health?" Xiang Bichi was the first to come back to her senses and asked Situ Xunxiao gently.

"No problem." Situ Xunxiao said calmly, "I came to you three because I have something to say."

"Yes." Lin Yin agreed with his head down.

"I think you three know why you are in the palace." Situ Xunxiao looked at them expressionlessly, "Originally, I and the princess had said that there will only be one princess and one concubine in the palace, and no third person."

The three people who had never expected Situ Xunxiao to say this all took a deep breath. Did they hear it wrong?

And then, what they thought of was what Situ Xunxiao had just said, that there would only be one princess and one concubine? Does that mean that the prince was talking to the three of them at this moment to announce who would be the concubine candidate for the Zhan Palace?

Lin Yin still had a hard time hiding the smile on her face. Among the three people, Yin Yu was a dispensable existence to the prince. Even during the cold war between the prince and the princess, she did not get much attention from the prince. Moreover, the prince sent her sister into the palace as a concubine, and in order to avoid suspicion, he would definitely not take her as a concubine. So, he could only choose one between her and Xiang Bichi? Just now, Xiang Bichi obviously angered the princess, but the first thing the prince did after he woke up after the princess left was to find the three of them and talk about it. So, doesn't it mean that he has the greatest chance?

Unlike Lin Yin's happy expression, Xiang Bichi's face, which was always calm and composed, also turned pale. Her thoughts were the same as Lin Yin's. At this moment, she also began to regret that she should not have been too radical. She originally thought that as long as the princess and the prince did not reconcile, she would have nothing to fear after everything was settled. Therefore, when the princess and the prince might reconcile, she made such an unwise move. However, she never thought that her move would create an opportunity for Lin Yin.

Just when they were all worried, Situ Xunxiao continued, "But, many times, even the princess herself is unable to control unexpected events that are beyond her control."

What does that mean? The three of them looked up at Situ Xunxiao in confusion, their eyes full of confusion.

"I don't understand what the prince said," Yinyu asked in confusion.

"Originally, the princess valued the three of you. That's why she kept you three after selecting Concubine Hua. But now it seems that there is no need to make any more choices. I think that tomorrow the emperor will discuss with me about marrying Princess Yun Fei as his concubine." There was no emotion in Situ Xunxiao's eyes, but the helplessness revealed in his tone was just right for those present to feel it.

Princess Yunfei?

Obviously everyone was caught off guard by this sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin. No matter whether it was Xiang Bichi or Lin Yin, the expressions on their faces were frozen.

"Your Highness, is it because of Princess Yunluo's suicide note written in blood?" Xiang Bichi asked with a frown.

"I remember that no one will know about this." Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiang Bichi with suspicion in his eyes.

"There is indeed no such talk or rumor in the Zhan Palace, but Prince, I'm afraid that everyone in Kyoto is talking about this matter after dinner. There is no smoke without fire, and there must be a reason for everything. Although I don't believe some of the unbearable words, there are some things that may not be unreasonable. So, these days, I have been repeatedly exploring the truth of this matter, but I never thought that what the prince said actually coincided with the rumors in the market."
