Ling Xiao's heart sank, and her expression became somewhat terrified.
It turns out she had underestimated Qi Yu, who should not have discovered the things she had so secretly done.
Thinking of this, she grew increasingly uneasy.
If Qi Yu knew, then did the Prince know too?
Ling Xiao steadied herself and a smile crept onto her lips, "Impossible, the Prince wouldn't suspect her."
She had been by the Prince's side for over a decade. How could the Prince suspect her over an incident without any evidence?
As she was thinking, a maid suddenly stumbled and ran towards her.
Her residence was close to the back door, where servants frequently came and went.
Although she should have been used to it, Ling Xiao still held her breath and hid behind a towering ancient tree, watching what the panic-stricken maid intended to do.
She recognized that the maid was Cai Qin, who had always served beside Qi Yu. Seeing her sneak out of the door, her eyes flickered as she followed her.
