Chapter 525: Be Careful!

Jian Guozhi sipped the tea and gazed at the Crown Princess, who was reading the scroll. Once she was done reading, she put it on the table and looked at Jian Guozhi.

"Brother did not tell about the Second Prince," stated Ying Lili. 

"Ahh, yes. I have not met him yet. I am still thinking how to talk with him," Jian Guozhi answered and passed a tiny smile to Ying Lili.

"Why is Brother Jian lying?" Ying Lili asked without beating around the bush. "He shall tell me what Prince Yongzheng said," she added. 

Jian Guozhi had no way to hide the truth from Ying Lili. "Forgive me, Crown Princess, for hiding the truth from you. The meeting was not pleasant. That is why I thought to hide it from you," Jian Guozhi stated. 

"Brother Jian does not need to apologize," Ying Lili replied and waited for him to speak.
