In the front yard guest hall, Xiao Yeyang watched the Crown Prince and his companions, who were clearly distracted, while calmly pondering the purpose of their visit.
Their collective presence here likely wasn't to win his favor.
So why had they gathered at the Duke Residence?
A sharp gleam suddenly flashed in Xiao Yeyang's eyes as he quickly glanced at the Crown Prince. Could it be that the Crown Prince intended to target him?
No doubt about it—life had not been easy for the Crown Prince in these recent years. Apart from political matters in court, much of his troubles stemmed from Father always making trouble for the Prince Residence, while Mother was equally busy troubling the An Family.
He had no choice but to suspect that the Crown Prince's visit was maliciously motivated.
If the Crown Prince knew what Xiao Yeyang was thinking, he would surely cry out his innocence.
