Yu Ji entered the inner chamber and knelt before Crown Prince Jing, who sat in the position of honor. She performed the standard, respectful salute: "Yu Ji, your humble servant, pays respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Be seated." Crown Prince Jing lifted his teacup, took a light sip, and kept his expression neutral. "I must thank you, Eldest Miss Yu, and the Grand Secretary for the early warning. Only because of that was I able to flush out the spies and those plotting treason in the Capital so quickly."
Yu Ji spoke with composure: "It is simply what any citizen of Da Qi should do. I, in turn, must thank Your Highness for trusting the Yu family. Had you not, given the betrothal between the Yu and Cui families, the Cui case would inevitably have implicated us."
