Chapter 685: She Was Completely Stunned

At this point, she remained silent. She believed Long Chi could figure out where the conversation was heading.

Just as she expected, a thought occurred in Long Chi the moment she was done speaking. "Are you trying to say that this letter was left on my table by Chen Xuping's men to frame you?"

Chen Qiyu shook her head. "I'm not completely sure about this myself. The Eastern Palace is heavily guarded, after all. It would not be an easy feat for someone to place a letter on Your Highness' table without alerting the guards."

Long Chi's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying that Chen Xuping has some inside help?"

Chen Qiyu shook her head again. "I'm not sure."

Long Chi began contemplating this.

He knew that Chen Xuping and Lu Yunshuang were close, but they had never crossed the line. Moreover, Chen Xuping had done a lot of things for Lu Yunshuang, even taking the fall for the brothel incident, saving him and Lu Yunshuang from being implicated.
