The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies behind them suddenly shouted, startling the two of them.
"Run!"
Tang Fengxing had already run ahead when he told Chuanwu to run fast, and Chuanwu, who was momentarily stunned, quickly followed.
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies shouted as he chased after the two men. Watching them flee in panic, the Minister felt a surge of satisfaction. He had warned them! He had looked down on them! Haha, now look at him, he can't even warn or look down on him anymore! This gambling addict deserves a good lesson from the Emperor!
Unfortunately, he couldn't catch up with the two, and everyone was busy putting out the fire, so no one heard his shouts and the two got away!
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies then returned to the Second Prince's residence and peeked out from the crowd of onlookers to assess the situation.

[Didn't my brother make a lot of money selling books? Why would he try to fool the Second Prince for a hundred gold coins?]
Chuanwen was quite puzzled.
Just then, the Marquis of Changxing happened to be passing by and came to watch the commotion from the fire. He was stunned when he heard Chuanwen's words. Wait, why didn't he understand what Chuanwen said?
He knew that Chuanwu made money selling books, but Chuanwu... was he fooling the Second Prince?
The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial immediately spotted the bewildered Marquis of Changxing in the crowd. He moved over to explain the whole story to him, then, amused by the spectacle, laughed and said, "Your son has quite the nerve to try and fool a prince!"
