"The day after tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow," Xie Ruiyao replied. "There's no temple fair on that day, fewer people will be around. My private meeting with Prince Chu won't be noticed by others."
Ye Qichi nodded.
It was certainly suitable for a clandestine affair.
Yet he was somewhat surprised.
As cautious as Xiao Jinsen is, he's planning to meet with Xie Ruiyao privately before Bai Mowan returns. If discovered, isn't he afraid that his marriage arrangement with Bai Mowan would fall through?!
It must be so.
Some kind of conspiracy is afoot.
Xiao Jinsen is a person who does everything with a purpose.
His relationship with Xie Ruiyao back then was to win over the Duke Mansion. He knew very well to secure his position as the emperor, he'd need the support of various factions. Although the Duke Mansion didn't wield much power, it still had its standing as imperial kin.
