Xiao Yan came to Bai Qiuchi's courtyard and pushed the door open. He saw Ethan Xie kneeling there with his hands tied. His thin white body was particularly conspicuous in the night. He didn't know how long he had been kneeling before he fainted. He stopped and looked at Qi Qing beside him with his dark and sharp eyes and said lightly: "Is this what you wanted me to see?"
Qi Qing lowered his head, very nervous. He knew from Xiao Yan's tone that the prince was unhappy. With the prince's wisdom, how could he not see his little thoughts? He pursed his lips and said, "I think if he died like this, it might arouse the prince's suspicion."
Xiao Yan's eyes were slightly cold and his voice was low. "Is that all?"
Qi Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't think his crime deserves death."
Xiao Yan looked at Qi Qing for a while and then slowly said, "I asked you to monitor him, not to protect him."
