Beat Him At His Own Game

  After the corpse was carried away, the caretaker walked in again. He had already read the contents of the letter in advance when he came here.

 "Is Your Highness going to the capital city?"

 Xiao Shijie narrowed his eyes. "The Emperor is testing me. I definitely have to go, but whether I can successfully reach the capital city is not within my control. You go ahead and make the preparations now…"

 The caretaker came nearer and nodded after listening. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll make the preparations right away."

 After Xiao Shijie replied to Prince Jiangning's letter, the first thing Prince Jiangning did was enter the palace to report to Xiao Jin.

 "Your Majesty, Shijie said that he will set off for the capital city in a few days." Prince Jiangning did not expect this outcome. Since his son was willing to come here, it should mean that he did not have any ulterior motives.
