Having previously mentioned the merchant caravan to Prince Rong, Su Xinyi brings it up again, but Prince Rong is still somewhat hesitant.
He looks at Su Xinyi suspiciously, feeling that she is setting him up. However, he has no evidence, so he tentatively asks, "Why do you insist on finding me? Can't you ask the Crown Prince?"
Su Xinyi chokes a little in her heart. If it weren't for her fear that the Empress would interfere and secretly hinder her, she wouldn't want to drag Prince Rong into this either. Besides, although she is using Prince Rong's name to restrain the Empress' party from making a move, if things really succeed, Prince Rong would also have some merit in it.
