Zhao Xi didn't explain explicitly, only saying, "The plans Father has made for me started many years ago; it's no surprise that you would become part of it."
Dong Han, upon hearing this, was quite surprised.
It wasn't the surprise that the Crown Prince knew she had been using Emperor Guangxi's token for tasks, but the surprise at Zhao Xi's attitude.
So calm, so indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
She had thought that he would blame her upon knowing...
Thinking of this, Dong Han chuckled softly, "Your Highness knowing in advance saved me quite a bit of trouble."
"You've never been good at lying since you were a child," Zhao Xi looked at her, his tone light: "At least that's the case in front of me, like that time years ago when you stopped coming to the Study Room, and when I later met you and asked why, you said you were busy with lessons at the ladies' academy, but at the time your eyes were clearly flickering intensely."
