Ning Zhi walked in.
She was dressed differently from what she had worn in the afternoon.
This time she had changed into a pure white robe, the hem of the skirt spreading out like pristine white petals.
There was no ornament in her hair, only a single emerald Jade hairpin.
Ning Zhi walked in with her head lowered, carrying a maiden's shyness.
"Prince."
She called out as she saluted.
But as soon as she raised her head, she saw Su Yan sitting next to Situ Xiu, eating.
The expression on Ning Zhi's face froze in an instant.
Situ Xiu lifted his eyelids.
While picking food for Su Yan, he asked,
"What is it?"
Ning Zhi's fingers clenched, her nails digging into her flesh.
She forced herself to maintain the expression on her face.
"Prince, I have received word that someone has hired Assassins to kill you."
Situ Xiu lifted his eyelids, his gaze deep and eerie.
"That's all?"
Ning Zhi said anxiously,
"Prince, there is a mole by your side."
