「Inside the Prince Zhao Mansion」
Li Ji and Hua Manman had just finished dinner. They were huddled together, flipping through the new storybooks they had bought.
Just then, Chen Wangbei strode in.
"Reporting to the Prince, all the men we sent out have returned."
Li Ji turned a page of the book in his hand and asked casually.
"Did they find anything?"
Chen Wangbei answered truthfully, "Most of the laborers checked out. We only lost one of them."
Li Ji finally raised his head.
"Who was it?"
Chen Wangbei: "A man named Hong Hui."
Li Ji had an excellent memory. As soon as he heard the name, the image of an earnest, middle-aged man surfaced in his mind.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Look into his background. And it would be best if you could find the man himself."
"Understood."
...
The conversation the Fifth Prince, Li Yan, had overheard that night was indeed orchestrated by Hong Hui.
And it was Hong Hui who had secretly pushed Li Yan, causing him to sprain his ankle.
