Chapter 322: Terms
The commotion in the Great Li imperial prison was considerable, and was felt in many parts of Shangyang City.
A carriage raced along the street, and inside, Song Xingwei lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of the prison, saying in surprise, "Has someone tried to break out of the prison? That would be major news."
But she clearly had no way to go and watch the excitement right now. She had been entrusted by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master to pay a visit to the Tianjin Guards headquarters as soon as possible and resolve the misunderstanding between the Pavilion and the Eighth Prince.
This matter could not be delayed. It needed to be handled quickly.
Before long, the carriage came to a stop outside the Tianjin Guards headquarters gate. Song Xingwei announced herself, and was then led by a guard to the small courtyard where Li Musheng was staying.
"My dear friend, I knew I would find you here," Song Xingwei said with a cheerful smile the moment she spotted Li Yuanling in the courtyard.
Li Yuanling was equally pleased to see her, and naturally knew the purpose of Song Xingwei's visit. She took her by the hand and gave Li Musheng a warm and enthusiastic introduction.
Li Musheng looked the oval-faced young woman with a large booklet at her waist up and down, gave a nod, and asked, "The letter I had the people under your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion send to that Pavilion Master of yours, I assume was received?"
At those words, Song Xingwei went briefly blank, thinking privately that Pavilion Master Zhu Wuming had never once mentioned this to her.
