The Second Prince and the steward were momentarily taken aback. Who could be visiting at this hour? After exchanging a look with the steward, the Second Prince called out loudly, "Who is it?"
"Second Prince, it's me." A man's voice sounded from outside.
The steward quickly said, "It's Xiao Wen."
Xiao Wen had been close to the Second Prince since childhood, and he was a trusted confidant. He had served the Mother Consort in the Imperial Palace before, but after her death, the Second Prince requested him from The Emperor, so he came to the Residence of the Second Imperial Prince to serve him.
The Fourth Prince called out loudly, "Come in."
Xiao Wen entered, looking flustered, "Second Prince."
The Fourth Prince looked at him with confusion and asked, "Xiao Wen, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wen glanced at the steward and said, "Second Prince, I have uncovered a shocking secret from the Imperial Palace."
