Jianzhen soon came over and whispered a few words in Li Yan's ear.
The bright smile on Li Yan's little face from a moment ago was instantly replaced by a dark cloud.
"He certainly has some nerve. I was unaware the Xu Family had been granted the authority of the government, allowing them to search restaurants at will." Away from Ming Lingyi, Li Yan instantly reverted to the imposing Crown Prince he was, young but full of authority.
It seemed that while the mother and son were enjoying their conversation, Xu Qian's men had failed to find the judge of the poetry competition behind the restaurant, so they had decided to simply search the entire building.
It was unclear whether the staff of Wangxian Building had failed to stop Xu Qian's men, or if there was some other reason, but in any case, the person who had just knocked on their door was one of Xu Qian's servants.
For a mere servant to disturb the Crown Prince's leisure was a grave offense.
