"We have to change our clothes. We cannot go outside in these clothes," asserted Sheng Li. Ying Lili amusingly stared at the crown prince. "You sent away Hu Jingguo?" The crown princess asked to which Sheng Li nodded.
"Even the walls have ears, Lili. His death was portrayed so that no one raises a finger at me," replied Sheng Li and called out for court lady Xu. "Take this food back to the royal kitchen.
