Wang Jingyuan told Yan Qiufeng the entire story of her and Xiao Moxian. From their experiences on the way to the Capital, to how he gave her his jade token and a stack of gold leaves when she left for Xuanyan Sect, to their various interactions once she came back to the Capital, to how she finally found out that he was the fifth prince, she told Yan Qiufeng everything. When she finished, Yan Qiufeng was quiet for a long time.
"The fifth prince and you have experienced so much together. It is no wonder that you two are close." He finally remarked. "Did you ever find out who was behind all the attempted assassinations?"
Wang Jingyuan hesitated. This was the one thing she kept from Yan Qiufeng during the storytelling. As much as she trusted him, she was not sure if it was good for either of them if he knew. The fourth prince was, after, the crown prince's brother.
"Yes, but I think it's best if you didn't know. I don't want you to be targeted too."
