A Storm Is Brewing

At night, Xiao Lie had just entered his manor upon returning from Su Jiu's place when Ding Fei came forward and said, "Your Highness, we've found out the culprit behind the assassination of Lady Su!"

Xiao Lie stopped in his tracks, and turned around as he asked coldly, "Who is it?"

"It's someone from Prince Zhao Manor!"

"Prince Zhao Manor? Why does Xiao Jing want to kill Ah Jiu?" Xiao Lie looked at him with a piercing gaze, even though his face remained calm and composed.

"I have yet to find out the reason. I've only found out that Prince Zhao Manor had welcomed a new concubine today, and I know her! She's the daughter of the old Official Lan, Lan Zhihui!" Ding Fei reported.

Xiao Lie squinted his eyes and thought, Lan Zhihui?

Lan Zhihui had used to be from the Ji Manor and had disappeared for a long while after being evicted by Ji Yuxian. So it turned out that she had gone to Xiao Jing's manor.
