Not long after Yun Sheng left, another series of hurried footsteps approached.
Yuan Bupo kicked open the cell door and looked inside.
Seeing the cell empty, Yuan Bupo was initially stunned but soon realized that the female prisoners had come to the same conclusion as them and had collectively broken out of prison.
It was also his oversight; Yun Sheng was indeed very clever. If she was capable of playing the Emperor's Song in the cell, then she must have planned for an escape.
As Yuan Bupo inspected the female prison again, all the prisoners had escaped, leaving only a masked female prisoner sitting in the corner of the cell.
Yuan Bupo paused, then stepped forward to ask, "Were there two young women held here earlier? One of them, with dimples when she smiled—does the senior know where she went?"
The masked female prisoner remained silent.
This prisoner was odd, and Yuan Bupo didn't dare to get close to her, always feeling an inexplicable sense of danger.
