Hearing this, Lin Yi also fell into deep thought:
"Indeed, that's possible. After all, it appears that it was the Left Martial Guard who set the fire, and the only one they're related to would be the Fourth Prince."
However, as Lin Yi spoke, his tone shifted:
"But other possibilities cannot be dismissed. Perhaps someone is taking this opportunity to maliciously frame the Fourth Prince.
Considering his character, he surely knows that if this is exposed, if the Left Martial Guard are caught, he will be the first to be suspected.
Based on what I know of him, he should not be foolish enough to do such a thing."
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor also frowned, as this scenario did indeed seem as foolish as Lin Yi suggested if it were indeed the work of the Fourth Prince.
Still, it could not be wholly ruled out that he wasn't behind it. Who knows if he was intentionally misleading everyone.
