Chapter 386: Do You Dare to Go Down?
When the two hastily arrived at the study, the room had already been empty.
Prince Qi Yu looked around his study and, finding nothing amiss, let out a sigh of relief. He then said to Jiutu, "The State Preceptor really worries too much."
Jiutu had already grown tired of explaining so much to him.
But after carefully scrutinizing the study, he found no traces of it being tampered with. Furrowing his brows, he wondered if he was indeed being overly cautious?
Prince Qi Yu walked over to the desk, picked up the several letters there, and with a smile, said to him, "Aren’t all my things here? How could anyone have come inside? Besides, the Hidden Guards in my residence are not useless; not even a bird could fly in unnoticed, let alone a person."
Jiutu spoke indifferently, "Perhaps I am being overcautious. However, considering the special circumstances, Your Highness should still be very careful, erring on the side of caution."
Prince Qi Yu tossed the letters back onto the desk and, tired of his preaching, waved his hand dismissively, "I got it."
After Jiutu left, Prince Qi Yu reopened the door to the secret chamber, took a look around to make sure nothing was missing, and then walked out, feeling reassured.
As soon as he left the secret chamber, a figure darted out from a dark corner—it was Shi Zhou.
She had heard footsteps approaching and, in her rush, had accidentally knocked over a vase on the bookshelf, inadvertently opening the secret chamber’s door.
