Zhang Jinghong left the Second Prince Residence and got back into his carriage when he realized something was amiss. There was an extra letter inside his carriage. He stared at the letter on the carriage table, sitting motionless until the carriage slowly made its way to The Prince Residence. Only then did he pull back the curtain, "Take this letter, check it carefully, and then bring it to me."
The guard, furrowing his brows, responded, "Yes."
He followed his master into the Second Prince Residence, leaving the coachman alone to watch over the carriage. The coachman was one of his own men, so who could have delivered the letter!
Zhang Jinghong had been clueless before, but now he understood all too well. The Crown Prince wouldn't have made him stay at Shen Yang's residence for no reason. He just hadn't expected contact from someone so soon. Were they preparing to lay their cards on the table with him?
