349 Malicious Intentions

"When Chu Yi was representing you on the Lu family arena the last time, he was followed on the way back. He caught the people following him and after interrogating them, both men revealed the mastermind. It was the Crown Princess' maidservant, Hong Xiu. I was not sure if this had anything to do with the Crown Princess, so I did not inform you about it at the time."

Long Yang glanced at him in surprise when he heard this. "Why would the Crown Princess' maidservant send someone to follow Chu Yi?"

Chu Qi replied, "I have been secretly surveilling the Eastern Palace for the past few days. I haven't found anything suspicious."

He paused and continued hesitantly, "Could it be that the Crown Princess was worried that Chu Yi would cause harm to Second Miss Lu, which was why she sent someone to follow him because she wanted to find out who Chu Yi was?"
