Two days later, Chen received the permission to conduct a doctors visit to the penitentiary.
Yui i was set to accompany him as special support so that Xu wouldnt be too nervous during her first eting with a doctor.
She couldnt just waltz into the penitentiary whenever she wanted to, so it was decided that she would et halfway with the person sent by the penitentiary.
Youve co.
Libin was waiting at the appointed place to receive Yui i and Chen.
Are you perhaps the guide that will allow us entry to the penitentiary?
Yeah, thats right.
Libin had a scowl on his face while answering Yui is question, obviously reluctant to be here.
It seed the man from the penitentiary who was said to be Libins contemporary entrusted this duty to Libin once again.
Indeed, even if they sent another person, Yui i wouldnt be able to discern whether the stranger was really from the penitentiary. Thus, there was no other choice but this person on because of trust.
But, is the Crown Princes safety still okay?
Yui i couldnt help but worry about this.
Well, its not like Libin was the only one who guarded him, and he was here so he must have been permitted to leave. Still, wasnt he being used too thoroughly? She couldnt help but sympathize with him.
Its been hard on you too.
Chen seed to be thinking the sa thing as Yui i so he said that, and Libin sighed heavily in reply.
As a result, the sa faces were grouped again to go to the penitentiary.
Another person was waiting inside the building when they entered. Aside from the guide Libin, it was an unfamiliar guard tasked to prevent guests from wandering round without permission.
Hes not the guy from earlierMaybe hes busy?
That man was probably one of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Justice, so it was understandable that he wouldnt be here just to act as their guide.
The person who would guide Yui is group looked like a young lad that was around Yui is age.
E-Excuse , t-this way please!
It was obvious just how nervous he was from the way his body shook and how he stole glances at Libin.
Even though Libin was wearing the garb of eunuchs, his attire did nothing to suppress the pressure he exudes and the seamless way he carried himself, being the imperial guard that he was.
Its fine, Libin-sama wont bite!
Yui i inwardly cheered the guy in his heart, and she couldnt help but feel warm at the innocent noobies appearance.
Libin glanced at Yui i while such thoughts ran through her head.
Youre a rookie yourself, and yet you have the guts to look at soone else like youre a veteran. Thats appalling.
I guess youre right.
Yui i also realized her mistake, so she tried to refrain from looking at him as much as she could.
Indeed, if she felt sobody her age sympathizing with her, she would also question herself whether she was lacking as a person.
Yui i did try to act like a rookie, but she couldnt help it if her habits and her personality from her previous life would sotis show out.
It was a part of who she was, and instead of trying to act weirdly just for the sake of keeping appearances, it would be far easier to be resigned to being thought of as a weird girl like how Libin saw her.
While this exchange happened, Yui i and the others were taken to a room that was bigger than the one before.
I will be waiting outside, so please call for once you are finished with your business. However, please do not close the door.
The guide said, and Yui i nodded in response before knocking on the door.
Miss Xu, its Yui i. We will enter now.
Yui i called out first before opening the door. It was a normal room.
There was a window facing a narrow courtyard, but it was where the other officials of the penitentiary were taking a break, and it was situated so that people outside wouldnt see whats going on inside the room, apparently.
The one Xu was previously in felt like a proper prison, contrary to this place that felt like a proper room. There should be a wide difference in Xus comfort.
Miss Xu, I brought a physician with today, just as promised.
Yui i called out, and Chen stepped forward.
Im Chen, the physician from the clinic. Are you Xu Zi? Allow to check you.
Chen bead at Xu, but she looked uncertain.
I am in your care.
She bowed her head.
