Chapter 236: The Walls Have Ears
After the soldiers left, the second prince got up from the ground and looked at Duan Qinwang, who was locked in the opposite cell. He sneered and said, "You said everything has been arranged. Is this how you arrange things?"
Duan Qinwang knew that Emperor Yong’an must have sent someone to monitor his every movement, so he didn’t react when he heard the second prince’s words. Instead, he went back to the corner of the cell, lay down on the bunch of straws, and pretended to be asleep.
When the second prince saw Duan Qinwang ignore him, he became angry and wanted to scold him. However, before he could speak, he saw Duan Qinwang lightly tapping the wall with his index finger.
The meaning is clear. The walls have ears.
After realizing why he was ignored, the second prince calmed down and sat on the straw in the corner of the cell. Now that things have become like this, he can only wait for opportunities and act by ear.
At the same time, Emperor Yong’an had already bathed and changed clothes in Yang Xin Palace. He sat on the main chair in the side hall and asked, "Jian Liu, don’t you need to go back to Dali Si or the Jin Yi Army’s military camp? After today’s incident, the Jin Yi Army will definitely have much more work to do, right?"
Jian Liu leaned against the huge red pillar beside the entrance of the side hall and closed his eyes to rest. After hearing Emperor Yong’an’s question, he replied calmly, "The commander didn’t ask me to go back."
Looking at his lower face and the black mask stained with blood, Emperor Yong’an knew that there must be more blood splattered on his black clothes than on his face.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Yong’an said, "Then go and clean up the blood on your body first."
