Ye Qing took the key from the two dead soldiers and brought Ya He to the door.
When he went to unlock the brass lock, he was shocked to find a half-dried bloodstain beneath it.
Someone had been here!
Ye Qing wanted to ask the two dead soldiers if they had just left.
The words reached his lips but he swallowed them back down.
He said nothing, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it with great noise. When he removed the brass lock, he deliberately bumped it against the iron door.
"Does unlocking a door take this long?" the Prince asked indifferently.
Ye Qing retorted, "The door is very heavy. Unless the Prince wishes to open it himself?"
The Prince let out a snort.
Ye Qing and Ya He worked together to push open the heavy iron door.
Ya He's skill was weak, and Ye Qing used less force, so the door opened slowly.
But no matter how slow, it eventually opened fully.
When the empty room was fully revealed, Gu Changqing's figure had nowhere to hide.
"It's you?"
