The figure smiled faintly. "Since you were able to trigger the projection in the Jade Hairpin, the battle for the Dao between Your Highness and the Eighth Prince must already be over."
Lu Mingyuan was taken aback by his words.
'Did Father-in-law predict I would have a conflict with Lu Yunqing?'
'Is that why he set up this projection ahead of time?'
'Does he have something he wants to tell me?'
The translucent figure of Qi Xingyan continued, "The Jade Hairpin contains a wisp of my Divine Soul, a contingency for emergencies. It can be used to transmit messages. Time is short, so I will be brief. While Your Highness was in the Cold Palace, I secretly uncovered many secrets. In order to verify the truth, I arranged this scenario, and I hope Your Highness can see my conjectures through to the end."
These words immediately captured Lu Mingyuan's full attention.
'What secret could have compelled Qi Xingyan to go to such great lengths?'
