Xu Lai!
Upon hearing this name, the Crown Prince's expression immediately stiffened.
He kind of wanted to return to the Royal City. Even if his father imprisoned him in his fief, he wouldn't have the slightest complaint. It wasn't that he was afraid of Xu Lai; he just missed the maids in his fief. In his absence, the maids must be washing their faces with tears daily. Just thinking about it made his heart ache to the point of breathlessness. He, Ji Gui, was a kind-hearted man; how could he let his maids be so sad and distressed? Those maids in his fief needed his affection.
"Crown Prince, Commander Tang has another theory. The murderer might not be Xu Lai." The trusted subordinate added, "Because the aura of a Formation was detected nearby. It's suspected to be from the same person who crafted the starlight defensive array that envelops Chang'an City."
"Not Xu Lai?" The Crown Prince froze, and the image of Ruan Lan instantly appeared in his mind. Could it be that woman?
