Chapter 228: Spill the Secrets

Li Xueyue allowed her brother to drag her down the hallways. She dealt with his anger in silence, knowing it was better to let himself calm down. He didn't like it when others intervened or tried to comfort him. He was simply too prideful for that.

"Why are we obliging the Second Prince's request?" she finally asked once the carriage was drawn.

Li Chenyang pressed his lips together. "Wang Jing rarely seeks an audience with anyone. If he does, it must be for something important."

Li Xueyue nodded.

Li Chenyang shrugged a bit. "Besides, the Empress and Wen Jinkai always go to him to vent their frustrations. Who knows? Maybe Wang Jing will leak something to us."

Li Xueyue climbed onto the carriage with her brother's help. "I doubt it. I wouldn't spill the secrets of my friends and family. It feels weird to do so, no matter who requests it."

"Nothing wrong in getting our hopes up," Li Chenyang said as he got into the carriage after her.
