The Eight Prince parted his lips to say yet another derogatory remark about the general, fortunately, he was interrupted by the sudden entrance of Duke Lixin. On seeing the duke, he immediately rose from his seat and turned to leave.
"To what do I owe the honour of his highness's visit?" The duke asked, standing in front of the prince, preventing him from leaving.
"I came to see Yu Xiaoguang." He replied in a hard to decipher tone, Mei Deng couldn't tell if he was being prickly or cautious in his speech.
The duke clasped his hands and pulled his lips back into a smile, "that so? Then, could you tell me why his highness took the trouble to come see my guest?"
Biming clicked his tongue, "that is our business, you should remain indifferent and not get involved. Isn't that your policy?"
The duke diverted his eyes to Mei Deng and said, "sometimes, there are exceptions to certain things." Mei Deng who caught his stare, nervously diverted his eyes to his mother.
