The next morning, Lóng Wei visited Qiu Zedong in prison. Huang Xi had followed Lóng Wei, but midway he left upon Lóng Wei's command.
When the soldier opened the door to the prison, Lóng Wei asked him to leave. He walked inside and saw Qiu Zedong in white clothes. He had shackles around him and he was seated on the cold floor. The crown was no longer on his head.
"How was the night?" Lóng Wei asked as he halted in front of Qiu Zedong.
He raised his head and looked at Lóng Wei. "If I wanted I could have killed you at the very moment when you were born," Qiu Zedong stated.
"I know," Lóng Wei said and bent down. He got on his knees and looked into his eyes. "You should not have brought me up," he asserted.
Qiu Zedong chuckled. "If only I had found out that Yuze was the mastermind, I would have done that long ago," he affirmed.
