บท 87: Entrapment

Prince Rui and Prince Yi silently made their way out of the palace after confirming the performance details with Eunuch Li.

Prince Yi's mood had been increasingly getting worse as Molin kept glancing his way with a smug expression. When they finally reached the palace gates, Prince Yi smiled at Prince Rui, "I know a place with the best wine in the city, how about a welcome toast?"

Prince Rui smiled back, "That sounds good." Prince Yi then went on to lead the way to a high-end restaurant. When they arrived, Prince Yi maintained his image of a good host and poured wine into two cups, then frowned when he saw Molin still standing in the room glaring at him.

Prince Rui then said, "Molin, wait outside."

"But he can't be trusted!"

Prince Rui smirked, "What can he do? We are Imperial guests now and he is my companion. We will be spending a lot of time together so get used to his presence. You can stand right outside the door, if you must."
