The Third Prince was not entirely convinced by Su Bin's explanation. He found Su Bin's actions increasingly disconcerting. The fact that even the Emperor's cherished fifth princess had been manipulated, and the circumstances surrounding it, raised suspicion.
The coincidence that the Black Panther Hall was simultaneously undertaking a mission raised further doubts. Su Bin's claim of only providing minimal assistance did little to allay the Third Prince's concerns. He couldn't help but suspect that Su Bin might be the mastermind behind it all.
Ultimately, the Third Prince arrived at the conclusion that Su Bin had concealed his true abilities from them. His position in the Dragon Phoenix Hall was likely higher than he had suggested.
The cries of the Empress pulled the Third Prince back to reality. He was immediately incensed by her audacity to implicate him right in front of him.
Did she have no qualms about performing in front of him?
