Late afternoon. The Crown Prince's palace is always tight with guards as usual. It was almost impossible to enter there without being noticed, not even a fly could be passed their attention. But, someone managed to sneak in among the servants and entered the hall grounds successfully. Who else would dare to settle there if not Hong Er? He was so curious about how his bodyguard was doing that he left his pavilion and crept into the front palace without his brother knowing.
His brother happened to have some exercise with Da Huang in the training field behind the pavilion. He had to get to the hall before his brother noticed he was missing and caught up with him there.
Hong slipped in and out from one pillar to another, he saw the Crown Prince's magnificent hall about two small paths away in front. That was definitely the hall, he had been there before but forgot what it looked like, it was dark then so it was a little different.
