The Prince Meng contemplated: "Xiao Qinghe fears no turmoil under the heavens, he is fearless, and judging from his demeanor, he seems eager for Ninth Sister to recover quickly. If she does, she will surely contend with Lao Ba. However, he holds a grudge against my Ji-surnamed royal family, so... whether there's still a spy among us is not a significant issue to us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in person and conveyed so many ambiguous words to me."
Qinghe is actually betting on Prince Meng's mindset, wagering that Prince Meng, even if opposed to the Eighth Princess, wouldn't want this Ji-surnamed kingdom to be ruined by Qinghe. Yet, Prince Meng also has her own plans. She holds no interest in the kingdom; all she does now is simply because of the promise she made before Fifth Sister died back then, also because Lao Ba killed Lao Wu. She wants revenge for Lao Wu, hence she approaches Ninth Sister.
Dong Huiying's expression became contemplative upon hearing this, "Xiao, Qinghe??"
