Yao Shen thinks Er Wang is talking with him, and gets up from the bed with a start, it's only when he looks to the side, that he sees the Crown Prince lying next to him, wearing his face and an expression of extreme disappointment. If it's disappointment at seeing her, or at waking up at all, Yao Shen can't tell.
The Prince gets up from the sofa and stretches his neck, along with his arms. "I couldn't get past the city walls."
Er Wang snorts. "We could see that, seeing as we found you outside Youdu's gates unconscious."
The Crown Prince ignores her, and moves towards the doors leading out of the administrative building that Er Wang and her cohort usually haunted.
"Not so fast, Si Wang informed us of an interesting development."
Yao Shen notices how the Crown Prince's back goes rigid at the mention of 'Si Wang'. "What does he want this time?" he spits out, through gritted teeth.
