"Who? Who is calling me?" From a nearby cell came the clinking sound of chains.
"Fourth Prince, I've found you." The man in black reached the cell, peering through the bars, glimpsing a disheveled figure under the dim light, unkempt hair with feet chained, every move made a clinking sound. The Fourth Prince looked extremely miserable; if Qi Kong hadn't recognized his voice, he wouldn't have known it was him.
"Master, Master, is that you?"
Hearing Lin Kong's voice, the Fourth Prince nearly burst into tears. Tonight, the meal was especially lavish, with fish, meat, and a jug of fine wine, completely different from the previous meals of just two steamed buns and a bowl of plain water.
The Fourth Prince felt suspicious, and questioned the Prison Head who delivered the meal, only to find out that the Emperor had ordered his execution. At 3 pm tomorrow, he would be beheaded in public in the Capital to serve as a warning.
