"Who's there, come out." The guard watching over Prince Mei Residence saw a shadowy figure lurking in the distance and shouted loudly, raising his spear.
A little servant from the Prime Minister Residence approached with a slight tremble, "Gu... Guard brother, I am a servant from the Prime Minister Residence, here to deliver a letter to Prince Mei." He nodded his head while looking at the spear pointed at him and carefully stepped back a few paces.
The watchful guard retracted his spear, lifted his chin, and glanced at the letter in the servant's hand, "Give it to me."
The servant shook his head, clutching the letter tightly, "Our mistress asked me to deliver it to the Prince personally, it concerns my master's life."
The guard, upon hearing that it was about the Prime Minister's life, knew it couldn't be delayed. He took a careful look at him, exchanged glances with another guard, then turned and ran back to the residence.
