That evening, Xiao Mo and Qin Siyao arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion.
To be honest, Xiao Mo hadn't particularly wanted to attend the banquet, but back when he was in the Iron Tiger Army, he had indeed received considerable favors from the Second Prince.
Even though he hadn't actively sought them, he had, in fact, reaped the benefits of the Second Prince's goodwill.
Therefore, it would have been difficult to justify not attending.
But Xiao Mo still stuck to his principles—he was determined not to get involved in the succession struggle between him and the Eldest Prince.
'I absolutely cannot pick a side.'
'Otherwise, things will get very troublesome.'
'The reasoning is simple—I can be loyal to the current Sovereign of Qin and to the future Sovereign of Qin, but I cannot be loyal to a future Crown Prince.'
Qin Siyao walked beside Xiao Mo. She raised her head and stole a glance at him before quickly looking away, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
