Xu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Were there guards outside Princess Ling's room at all times, and did they say if there were any strange noises when those five people went in?"
Governor Zhang, however, shook his head gravely and said, "Although there were guards outside Princess Ling's room, they weren't stationed close to the door. After all, the rooms in the Full Moon Building, while large, are still just rooms in an inn, and they're not particularly soundproof. Princess Ling is a noblewoman, so to avoid suspicion and to prevent eavesdropping on the privacy of important people, the guards were stationed a little farther away.
But because the entire Full Moon Building had been booked by them, and Prince Ling and his party were all staying on the third floor, there were soldiers watching outside all parts of the inn. In theory, as long as they stood where they could see the door to Princess Ling's room, there should have been no problem.
