Inside the cage, the silence is terrifying.
Mu Qingge and Shen Bicheng stand facing each other. This is a competition and even more so, a personal duel between the two of them!
Outside the cage, Jiang Li has already returned to the veranda of the mountains, sitting at the closest position to the cage where Mu Qingge is. Her gaze never left that cage until Huangfu Huan sat beside her with a plate of freshly washed fruits, and only then did her eyes shift.
Jiang Li glanced at the enticing fruit platter briefly, then moved her gaze to the smiling Huangfu Huan. Her eyebrow subtly raised, and her eyes took on a playful glint. "Offering favors for no reason, what business does the Crown Prince have?"
Huangfu Huan laughed, "Can't Huan treat the Empress with the courtesy of friends?"
Jiang Li's smile grew more playful, and she mercilessly pierced through him, "As a qualified heir to the Empire, friends are merely a means to win hearts."
