His eyes rolled in a flash, and immediately, he leaped onto the bed in the cell, turned to his side facing inward, covered his head with the blanket, and feigned sleep.
He hoped that after seeing him 'asleep,' Prince Niu would leave.
Unfortunately, how could that possibly be the case?
"Prince Niu, please come inside, the Eighth Prince is… oh? Is the Eighth Prince still sleeping?"
The official, welcoming Prince Niu inside, thought he couldn't escape the situation, but who knew that at a glance, the guard impersonating Yin Lvqing was actually pretending to sleep.
That was perfect, it would provide him an opportunity to gracefully back out.
"Prince Niu, you see, the Eighth Prince is still sleeping. Would you like to... go back first?" he asked Prince Niu in a soft voice, looking at him.
Prince Niu glanced sideways, swept his gaze over the official, then took a glance at 'Yin Lvqing' who was turned away, and let out a light chuckle.
"No need."
He shook his head.
