Soon, the news reached Prince Rui's ears. "Who did you say it was?"
"According to the gatekeeper, it's the Xuanji Guard!"
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.
Then he suddenly stood up, rushed to the backyard without saying a word, his speed was surprisingly fast, and he was accompanied by guards, both overt and covert.
"Your Highness!"
The voice called out loudly in the courtyard, and the two sisters recognized the owner of the voice.
The two arrived hastily, surrounded by maids, and saw the manor guards occupying half the courtyard.
Qin Zhaoqiong stepped forward from the crowd, cupped her hands in greeting to Prince Rui, and asked, "What brings you here, Your Highness?"
Since they met, Prince Rui had always addressed her as "Big Girl" or "Sixth Girl," and this was the first time he had used an official title for her.
Standing opposite him now, his face lacked its usual gentleness and kindness; instead, it was expressionless yet exuded an aura of authority.

Qin Zhaoqiong's face was ashen. "Unauthorized trespassing at the mint is a serious crime. Who is so reckless as to disregard their own life?"
Prince Rui stared intently into her eyes, "Xuanji Guard."
Qin Zhaoqiong frowned. Indiscriminate killing? Impossible!

Unless some unforeseen circumstance arises that necessitates intervention.
"Hidden in hiding!"
As Yin Zhe and Liu Yan appeared, one bright and one dim, she immediately stepped forward, saying, "Your humble servant is here."
"Did the Xuanji Guard break into the mint?"
"This humble servant does not know, but the Xuanji Guard oversees the entire realm and handles cases; they would never kill without cause."
Prince Rui's eyes were dark and unfathomable. "If that's the case, it's still a misunderstanding. Why don't we invite His Highness to accompany us so that we can expose the villain's identity in person?"
Qin Zhaoqiong's gaze did not waver at all, and she met the other person's gaze calmly.
After a moment's thought, he nodded. "Okay."
