Two people, under the arrangement of the servants, were checked into separate rooms.
Originally, Ye Qichi's room was with Xiao Jinxing, but her strong insistence on separation brought her closer to Gu Xingchuan instead.
At the moment she returned to her room,
Ye Qichi called out to Gu Xingchuan, "Your arrival this time will definitely let Xiao Jinsen know you've defied him, and you'll become a thorn in his side."
"I am well prepared," Gu Xingchuan said unconcernedly.
"What I mean is, you need to make your stance clear now, you must declare your position in front of Xiao Jinxing. Once he returns, he will surely be rewarded by the Emperor, and once he gains power, he can ensure your safety."
Gu Xingchuan clearly understood.
Ye Qichi was suggesting that he follow the prince.
