The Fox tries to bridge the distance

"So we just need to send word back to Su of what is afflicting their King," Xiao Zai said.

He, Xiao Ziyi, Xiao Yuan and Chu Yun were alone in one of his offices, discussing what Chu Yun had inferred from Ru Yumei's words.

"That would be ideal, except we don't know which one of them we can trust," Chu Yun said, pacing back and forth in front of large cherrywood desk Xiao Zai was sitting at. 

He frowned suddenly, stopping his restless wandering after coming to a troubling realisation. "Or even if we can trust one of them, at all."

He was glad to know for sure what had become of the King of Su -- that was one goal of this whole endeavour that had gone exactly according to plan.

But at the same time he was now left at a standstill. 

Could the Queen Consort be trusted? Could the Third Princess?

And what about Ru Long's missing twin sister. Did either of them know about her existence at all? How aware were they of Ru Long's actions?
