บท 263: No Second Woman

Xiao Zhan stood beside Lei Wanxi. "Prince Wanxi, do you know why the Crown Prince brought a woman here other than the Crown Princess?" Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice. 

"General Xiao, just wait and watch," Lei Wanxi whispered and focussed at the Crown Prince and Princess Xi fight. Xi Jiao did not know how to move a sword but to impress him, she decided to have a sword fight with him. Her main motive was just to get close enough to the Crown Prince that he would willingly order the Empress to ask for her hand. 

Sheng Li, on the other hand, had made up his mind to play a little with Xi Jiao before asking about the Empress's plan. 'I was wrong. She doesn't know how to move a sword. I will be light on her then,' Sheng Li thought. Their swords clanked against each other. Xiao Zhan was shocked to see how the Crown Prince was using the sword against Princess Xi.
