203 An Important Prisoner

The guards in front of the entrance to the Ministry of Justice's dungeons were surprised to see the fifth prince approach them.

"Your Fifth Highness." They bowed respectfully.

"Open the doors. I want to see our newest prisoner."

"Yes, Your Fifth Highness."

The heavy stone doors opened inwards to reveal stone steps leading down to a narrow passageway illuminated only by torches on the wall. One of the guards led the way down. Xiao Moxian followed him wordlessly, with Wuxin immediately behind.

Another metal door was unlocked, and now they were actually in the dungeons. Guards stood at attention around every corner and at every intersection. Somewhere deep within this maze, someone was screaming in pain. It seemed like the torturers were busy today.
