I truly admire Xiao Jinxing's quick wit.
"Then that's easy to handle," Xiao Jinxing spoke candidly, "We just need to find someone to do what we want, and it can be done."
Ye Qichi frowned.
"You must have seen her at the Winter Solstice palace banquet, Liu Xinran, the legitimate daughter of the Chief Scholar."
"I've met her."
"We can have her win over Father's favor," Xiao Jinxing blurted out.
"You mean, let Liu Xinran bring food for your emperor father?"
"For concubines to please the Emperor is only natural. Having Liu Xinran deliver desserts to Father every night is nothing out of the ordinary. Moreover, in the eyes of the Imperial Concubine, it would seem merely a normal act of ingratiating herself with Father, arousing no suspicion. Coupled with the Imperial Concubine's confidence that Father has no interest in them, she would be even less vigilant."
"But Liu Xinran's father is a man of the Prince of Chu."
