Ye Qing took the key from the two dead soldiers and brought Ya He to the door.
When he went to unlock the brass lock, he was shocked to find a half-dried bloodstain beneath it.
Someone had been here!
Ye Qing wanted to ask the two dead soldiers if they had just left.
The words reached his lips but he swallowed them back down.
He said nothing, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it with great noise. When he removed the brass lock, he deliberately bumped it against the iron door.
"Does unlocking a door take this long?" the Prince asked indifferently.
Ye Qing retorted, "The door is very heavy. Unless the Prince wishes to open it himself?"
The Prince let out a snort.
Ye Qing and Ya He worked together to push open the heavy iron door.
Ya He’s skill was weak, and Ye Qing used less force, so the door opened slowly.
But no matter how slow, it eventually opened fully.
When the empty room was fully revealed, Gu Changqing’s figure had nowhere to hide.
"It’s you?"
Ya He blurted out.
He never expected that there would be someone inside, let alone someone he knew.
Ye Qing also recognized Gu Changqing’s face, but being more composed than Ya He, he did not vocalize his surprise.
The leader of the Prince’s Brocade Guards was about to rush in to kill and silence him, but the Prince raised his hand to stop him.
The Prince was a very smart person. If he remembered correctly, Ya He had never met Long Aotian.
But why did Ya He act like he had seen someone familiar?
He then turned to look at Shangguan Yun and Xiao Hen, who were extremely tense.
Ah, it looked like a good show was about to unfold.
Killing Long Aotian was the first choice, but not the best one.
If he could prove that Long Aotian colluded with Shangguan Yun, his gain would be immense!
