Outside the door, Ye Qing looked at the National Master with a complicated expression.
The National Master said indifferently, "We are trying to find a solution. You inside, hold on a bit longer."
There was a flicker of surprise in Ye Qing's eyes.
Xiao Hen said, "Hurry up, my mother is gravely injured, she won't last much longer."
The National Master responded mildly, "Understood. Ya He, go fetch some tools to pry the door open."
"Yes, Master!" In this life-and-death situation, Ya He hurried off without touching the ground.
Only Ye Qing was left, staring at the National Master in shock, wanting to speak but hesitating several times.
Outside the door, besides them, there were the death guards and disciples of the National Master Hall, along with over a dozen of the Crown Prince's Jin Yi Guards.
Ye Qing had some suspicions, which he decided to address privately with his master later.
