Mei Shuyu settled into the carriage, relieved that he was now alone. However, he dared not let out a true sigh of relief. After all, just because he had left the Imperial Palace did not mean Yun Chi would not interrogate him upon his return.
The events of the day were truly chilling, but fortunately, it allowed Hua Yan to obtain the Blood Lead from the King of Nanjiang.
The mission was a success!
As long as he remained tight-lipped, even if the Crown Prince was exceedingly intelligent and wise, it might take him quite a while to unravel the intricate web of this situation.
He couldn't help but feel more at ease.
After Mei Shuyu had left, Yun Chi was led into the hall by the Prince.
The King of Nanjiang, having composed himself and pale-faced, walked out of the inner chamber and smiled at Yun Chi upon seeing him, "If it hadn't been for me, it's one thing, but to have also troubled the Crown Prince..."
The Prince quickly admitted fault, "It is all my wrongdoing."
