Zhi'er folded her sleeves. "No need to look, I wouldn't mistake it."
"Tomorrow is fraught with calamity. As long as you don't make the first move, nothing will happen. Senior Brother, it's best you stay at home and don't go anywhere."
At first, Yuan Zhen had been somewhat nervous.
But after hearing Zhi'er's words, his expression suddenly eased, and he laughed.
That laugh never reached his eyes.
"Junior Sister, it was actually Xixi who told you I was going to assassinate the Emperor, wasn't it?" He took the initiative to admit it.
Zhi'er remained neither alarmed nor flustered.
"Even if Xixi hadn't said anything, how long does Senior Brother think you could have kept it hidden?"
"In this entire Mansion, can you really guarantee there are no Xie Yu's spies?"
"The Regent King's and your every move have long been under Xie Yu's gaze. The slightest disturbance from you, and he'll be the first to know."
