After searching, Chu Tang found that the steward was not in the residence. With no other options, he stealthily entered King's room.
The sound of a bell rang, the door to King's room opened, and then King himself emerged, walking mechanically in one direction.
To avoid trouble, Chu Tang did not reveal himself but followed discreetly from the shadows.
A patrolling guard approached, bowing respectfully, "Your Highness, it's so late. Where are you going?"
King "looked" at the guard, "I'm going to check the dungeon. Don't follow me; continue your patrol. There have been villains attempting to break into the King's mansion to rescue someone recently. Stay alert."
"Yes, Your Highness," the guard bowed, affirming his orders.
King continued forward.
Just past a corridor corner, a coquettish voice called out, "Your Highness, are you heading to my room?"
