The fourth prince stood at the threshold, his voice echoing in the center of the hall.

As the hall was silent at the moment, his words were particularly penetrating, and even the guests sitting on the third and fourth floors could hear him.

The guests frowned slightly, stopped appreciating the song, and pushed open the partition door to see what was happening.

Dozens of guards entered the hall, each carrying a sword. They rushed towards the various floors and pavilions of the Yanyu Building.

Seeing the guards of the imperial prince's mansion acting so recklessly and unreasonably, like wild dogs rushing into various elegant pavilions, caused a burst of screams and shouts among the guests.

Bai Zheng, who was on the ninth floor of the high-rise building, couldn't sit still and quickly sent someone to stop them.

However, since there were not many hired thugs working for the Yanyu Building, they were not enough to contend with the guards led by Xiao Yi(Xiao Yizhi -fourt prince name).

Bai Zheng knew that the visitors were not friendly, so she descended on a cloud ladder to take charge of the situation.

However, while sitting on the cloud ladder, she unexpectedly discovered that a section of the wooden frame at the door of the cloud ladder had been broken, even though the ladder had not been damaged when the three people had gone down earlier.

She was puzzled, looked around, but did not see the three people's traces. Moving her gaze back to the chaotic hall, she saw Xiao Yi sitting leisurely drinking tea.

Seeing this scene, Bai Zheng was immediately angry and walked quickly to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took a sip of tea, looking quite relaxed and comfortable, as if he really considered the Yanyu Building as his own mansion.

Bai Zheng looked at Xiao Yi, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her emotions calm.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she restrained herself, she was not a person with a very good temperament.

Suddenly, she flicked her sleeve and pointed at the girls huddled together on the pavilion, coldly asking, "Your Highness the d
fourth prince, you broke into the Yanyu Building without saying a word, disturbing the order of the imperial city. Have you considered the laws of Qi country?"

The fourth prince sat in his chair, looking calm, but he kept an eye on the movements of the people in the hall.

When he came in earlier, he was looking for the blind girl that the steward had mentioned in the crowd.

However, even after searching the Yanyu Building for a long time, he did not see the person with the white cloth covering her eyes, sitting in a wheelchair.

Hearing the noisy sound around him, the fourth prince frowned slightly and looked up at Bai Zheng in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he just smiled and asked, "Miss Bai, if you don't talk about the laws of  Qi country, what crime should be committed for conspiring to assassinate a nobleman?"

...

Little did the fourth prince know that the reason he could not find the person he was looking for was because that person had hidden their figure from the moment he entered the Yanyu Building. 

Thanks to the fourth prince's high recognition of the voice and the way the other party spoke before entering the door, if it were not for this, and if the opponent had entered first and showed off later, the fourth prince might have spotted Xiao Jin, who was waiting in the cloud ladder, at a glance.
