Gu Chengfeng bristled with anger, "Can it be? What kind of person is this Crown Prince anyway? How could he even plot to kill his own sister!"
"Sister?" Gu Jiao was simply puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Chengfeng corrected himself, "Oh, wrong, it seems to be the elder sister. The Princess is the sovereign's third daughter; there are two older half-sisters born before her, and no prince was born before she was."
As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his chin—a habitual gesture of Gu Jiao's—but when people live together for a long time, they tend to pick up each other's habits imperceptibly.
Not even he himself noticed.
He said doubtfully, "The Crown Prince wants to kill Xiao Hen and also the Princess; what exactly is their relationship?"
"I do not know," said Gu Jiao.
Curious, Gu Chengfeng asked, "How many assassins did they send?"
Gu Jiao replied, "Six."
