Chapter 1636
The Second Prince's questioning had made the Captain of the Imperial City Imperial Guards feel awkward as he did not know how to provide an appropriate answer .
Strictly speaking, the Imperial City Imperial Guards answered solely to the Emperor and could only be redeployed under the command of His Majesty . The act of redeploying the army by anyone else would be in violation of the law .
Yet, the black-clad imperial bodyguard was an important figure who served the Crown Prince . So, they followed his order and surrounded the restaurant in desperation of wanting to please and flatter the Crown Prince . They had never expected to run into and get busted by the Second Prince .
The Captain of the Imperial Guards understood very well that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were rivals, competing over the throne . For such competition, only until the very end could one tell who the winner would be .
The Second Prince glanced over at the black-clad imperial bodyguard and immediately recognized him to be one from the Crown Prince's side . His eyes continued to wander, and not after long, he had figured out what happened .
Faintly smiling, the Second Prince demanded, "Captain, without my father's order, you cannot just redeploy the Imperial Guards as you please . I will pretend I didn't see anything here today . Now, leave . "
"Thank you, Your Highness . " The Captain of the Imperial Guards saluted the Second Prince respectfully, then turned around to leave .
He left with his back soaked by cold sweat and his eyes full of fear . He felt fortunate that the Second Prince let him off and did not hold him responsible; if he were to be called to account, he would be in serious trouble .
The Second Prince watched in silence as the Captain of the Imperial Guards left . Without a word, he turned around and started eyeing the black-clad imperial bodyguard with an ambiguous and meaningful smile .
With that smile on his face, the Second Prince asserted, "If I remember correctly, you are San Huang, the imperial guard who serves my older brother . Why are you here? You should know very well the consequences if others find out that you have redeployed the Imperial City Imperial Guards without authorization . "
The Second Prince's words made the black-clad imperial bodyguard flinch . He knew that if others had found out about this and informed the Emperor, he would be a goner without a doubt . Even the Crown Prince would not be about to save him .
The Second Prince watched as the black-clad imperial bodyguard panicked . He smiled elegantly and walked over to the imperial bodyguard . He then reached out his right hand, patted the imperial bodyguard's shoulder and further whispered something in the imperial bodyguard's ear before walking away .
The black-clad imperial bodyguard was dumbfounded . He did not hear anything - the Second Prince had only pretended to talk into his ear but did not actually say anything .
Seeing that the Second Prince did not mean to take action against him, the black-clad imperial bodyguard quickly turned around and fled towards the Crown Prince's Palace .
Having failed his mission, he certainly had to go see the Crown Prince and to give a thorough account of all the events and especially of the Second Prince's appearance in the end .
The Second Prince walked towards Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy . He spoke when he reached where they were, "The Imperial Guards should be my father's jurisdiction . I apologize for the inconvenience their unauthorized actions have caused you . "
Qingfeng Li looked to the Second Prince approvingly; the Prince had left a favorable impression in him .
He had already made out from the earlier conversation that the young man before him was the well-renowned Second Prince of the country of Lingyun . What he did not expect was that the Prince would apologize to him for the actions of a captain of the Imperial Guards in such sincere manners .
Qingfeng Li gave a brief smile as he waved his hand and answered, "That's not necessary . "
With a small smile on his face, the Second Prince inquired, "I would like to meet Qingfeng Li, I wonder if you know him . "
