Chapter 232 - 180, Blood Letter
Chen Ji hadn’t waited for the iron door to open before he slipped into the inner prison.
He descended the narrow steps and asked nonchalantly, "This morning, did Lord Bai Long bring Prince Jing, the Princely Heir, and the Commandery Princess here?"
The prison guard following him replied, "Reporting to my lord, Prince Jing is detained in A-1 Prison Cell, and the Princely Heir and Commandery Princess are detained nearby in A-7 Prison Cell. Lord, Lord Bai Long specifically ordered that no one should converse with them without permission. Please don’t put me in a difficult position."
Chen Ji stopped on the stone steps and calmly turned back to look at the guard.
The guard lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact, and after a long pause said, "However, Lord Bai Long isn’t here at the moment, so a few words with them should be harmless."
Chen Ji continued forward.
