At this hour, the Prince's residence had quieted down as people retired for the night. The Prince, Shangguan Qi, too excited to sleep, went to the study room.
He never dreamed that good luck would come so quickly, turning his fate around just like that!
He had assumed that Shangguan Yun would interfere, thinking it would take him several years to make a comeback—
"Indeed, even the heavens are aiding me!"
The Prince couldn't conceal his smile, speaking kindly to the guards at the door, "It's late already, you all should rest too."
The guards clasped their fists, "We are not tired, Your Highness."
"There are so many Imperial Forest Army guards outside, no one will break in."
"What Your Highness says is true, but it's always best to be cautious."
The Prince, taken by joy, almost became complacent. Hearing the guard's words, he calmed down a bit.
Indeed, the more critical the moment, the more cautious one ought to be.
