Jiang Li had taken only the personal belongings of the Fourth Prince; he left everything else untouched.
This statement was quite ironic, making the Fourth Prince's siblings feel a burst of anger, followed by a sense of relief.
For they gathered from his words that he had no further plans to harm the Prince.
That was good.
Even though he considered his ability and realm to be above that of his opponent, the man was too enigmatic, instilling an involuntary wariness.
"What do you want?" the Second Prince asked in a deep voice.
"I want nothing, just to present a gift to the Second Prince."
The voice outside the carriage, light and mocking, said casually, "Yang Ji wasn't granted death by decree; he was assassinated."
"I killed him."
Despite the Second Prince's astuteness, this revelation stirred tumult inside him, no less shocking than when he had first speculated about the Emperor's intentions.
