"So, are you saying that the Assistant Leader returned to Hejian Prefecture earlier than the Eldest Prince? Yet he was the one who brought the Eldest Prince back?"
Gu Chengyu felt that if this was a well-orchestrated plan, the mastermind's cunning was truly profound.
Unfortunately, it seems some mishap occurred in between, which led to the assassination plot's failure.
"It should have been three days before the Eldest Prince went. I also think this is quite a coincidence. That Assistant Leader, named You Yuan, indeed hails from Hejian Prefecture."
Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment; he couldn't believe it wasn't premeditated.
But if the mastermind was the Third Prince, he found it hard to believe.
"How did the story that the Third Prince's Assistant Leader saved the Eldest Prince come about? Was it that Assistant Leader?"
Gu Chengyu focused for a while before he barely pieced the puzzle together.
