In the study, the light of the pine oil lamp flickered.
Dugu Wu lowered his gaze, not speaking, his slender fingers gently tapped the desk.
"It's earlier than I expected."
"Should we mobilize people..."
If the Crown Prince were to be replaced, especially if Dongfang Cheng became the Crown Prince, it would be very disadvantageous for master.
Dongfang Cheng has always been hostile to master; if he were to ascend, it could likely disrupt master's plans.
Feng Zao had not finished speaking when he heard a "squeak" from the study door as it opened.
A woman walked in.
She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was extremely charming.
The woman familiarly unclasped her cloak and threw it to Feng Zao.
Feng Zao had no choice but to move it aside.
"Miss Hong Xuan."
Feng Zao stood by, his gaze falling on Hong Xuan, who was not dressed as usual in red but in a very plain attire today, which looked somewhat familiar.
