She Zongyi's attitude was very respectful. He was about the same age as the Emperor and could be considered an elder to Bai Ruozhu and the others, yet he didn't show the slightest hint of arrogance. If Bai Ruozhu didn't know he was the person behind the Black Pirate Ship, she might have had a good impression of him.
"Mr. She, you're too kind. Please come in." Bai Ruozhu made a gesture of invitation and led the two of them inside.
The others in the yard had already been arranged to their respective positions just in case something happened, but Bai Ruozhu felt that She Zongyi would not personally assassinate the Second Prince, sacrificing years of cultivated image for the life of the Second Prince, he probably couldn't bear to do it. Besides, even if the Second Prince died, he would not become the Emperor.
However, Bai Ruozhu did not lead them near the Second Prince but instead had them stand at the entrance of the hall.
