The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 2240: How Could It Be Yours!

He hoped that after seeing him ’asleep,’ Prince Niu would leave.

Unfortunately, how could that possibly be the case?

"Prince Niu, please come inside, the Eighth Prince is... oh? Is the Eighth Prince still sleeping?"

The official, welcoming Prince Niu inside, thought he couldn’t escape the situation, but who knew that at a glance, the guard impersonating Yin Lvqing was actually pretending to sleep.

That was perfect, it would provide him an opportunity to gracefully back out.

"Prince Niu, you see, the Eighth Prince is still sleeping. Would you like to... go back first?" he asked Prince Niu in a soft voice, looking at him.

Prince Niu glanced sideways, swept his gaze over the official, then took a glance at ’Yin Lvqing’ who was turned away, and let out a light chuckle.

"No need."

He shook his head.

"It was not easy for this prince to obtain His Majesty’s permission to visit my Eighth Brother, and who knows when next time will be.

Even if he is asleep, we can just wake him up, surely, Eighth Brother will not take it to heart with me. Go ahead and open the prison door, this prince wants to go in and have a chat with Eighth Brother."

Official: "..."

The guard impersonating Yin Lvqing: "..."

Prince Niu is doing this on purpose, still on purpose, definitely on purpose.

But now, none of them dare to outright tell Prince Niu that Yin Lvqing has already left, right in front of him.

The guard dares not, and the official even less so.

He had just heard the rumor and was secretly relieved. Thankfully, after hearing the news, he didn’t directly encounter the guard arranged by Yin Lvqing.

Otherwise, even he would have been dragged down that dead end!

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and open the prison door!" Prince Niu, seeing the official not moving, barked sharply.

"Oh, Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will open the prison door right away."

The official finally snapped back to his senses, took out the keys to the prison door, and opened it.

In any case, once this matter came to light, he could merely pull out the jailer bribed by Yin Lvqing to take the blame, and it would have nothing to do with him at all.

At most, it would be considered a lapse of oversight!

"Eighth Brother, Fifth Brother has come to see you and has brought you quite a few things too."

Seeing the prison door open, Prince Niu, with two guards carrying quite a few items, walked in cheerfully.

"Look at what you’ve covered yourself with, it’s filthy. Here, Fifth Brother has brought you a top-quality ice silk quilt. What are you still standing there for? Change it for the Eighth Prince."

While speaking, he lifted his hand and directly tossed aside the cotton blanket wrapped around the guard.

"Ah!"

The guard was startled and sprang up all at once.

The next moment, he came face-to-face with Prince Niu, and both of them widened their eyes simultaneously.

"You, you... you’re... how come you are here?" Prince Niu stared at the guard in surprise, stammering as he spoke.

"Your subordinate... has seen... Prince Niu."

The guard, realizing he could no longer hide, knelt down before Prince Niu.

"You... Where is my Eighth Brother? How could you be the one in this cell!" Prince Niu pretended to collect himself, calmly asking the guard.

In his heart, he chuckled, nearly bursting into laughter.

This Eighth Brother of his was really anxious, quickly falling into someone else’s trap, and doing so quite carelessly!
