Chapter 141: Questioning
Hearing this, Shen Qiming gave a light nod, saying, "I was just about to tell Your Highness about this very matter."
With that, he took a lead-sealed letter from inside his robe and presented it through the iron door with both hands.
Li Zhi took the envelope, gave it a casual glance, then opened it and read quickly through the contents by the dim light of the yellow oil lamp on the stone wall.
Very shortly, his brow furrowed involuntarily, and an expression of obvious surprise showed on his face.
"The Hidden Kill Order is actually on him."
Li Zhi's heart sank, and he ran his gaze over the contents of the letter once more to confirm.
Having confirmed he had not misread it, Li Zhi suddenly let out a cold laugh and said quietly, "Truly fearless in his ignorance."
Hearing this, Shen Qiming outside the cell door raised his head slightly, but staying in his place and knowing his role, he asked nothing further.
At this point, Li Zhi turned and sat back down on the straw mat in his cell, picked up a brush and quickly wrote out a letter at the small table, then sealed it in an envelope and passed it once more to Shen Qiming outside the door, saying, "After you go back, the person you met last time will come on their own to collect this letter. In the meantime, you need do nothing."
