Several guards rushed over to stop Yan Jin.
"Prince, the Emperor is preparing to hold you accountable for the thief that appeared in the palace; if you pretend to be sick, feign a coma, you can avoid it for now. Once the Emperor's anger subsides in a few days, he probably won't care about this matter anymore..."
"That's right, Prince, but if others see you leave the palace safely, and that gets back to the Emperor, the situation will become much more serious."
"This is the Crown Prince's idea; he is trying to protect you."
The guards, with much effort, tried to persuade Yan Jin to abandon his plan to leave the palace.
Yan Jin gradually calmed down.
After all, he was still very fearful of his father the Emperor's wrath.
"Luckily, the Crown Prince's reminder allowed this prince to pretend to faint in time. Otherwise, Father would definitely be interrogating this prince now," he sighed in relief.
Just at this moment, another guard came to report.
