Little did they know, before anyone had a chance to turn around, a figure jumped directly over the wall and into the courtyard from the darkness.
"Thief!"
Yin Baiqing, without a second thought, shouted aloud.
Princess Consort Niu indeed wanted to stop him, but it was too late to do so.
"Audacious thief, to be so reckless in Prince Niu's Mansion, servants, come quickly...ugh!"
Just having climbed down from the city wall and returned to Sui Zimo's courtyard under the cover of darkness, Prince Niu did not expect to encounter his consort and son at this time, in this place.
Fearing his son might really call the outside guards over, he swiftly moved, grabbing and holding the person, securely covering his mouth with his hand.
"Shh, don't shout."
"Mmm!"
Yin Baiqing, by the light of the moon, glanced at the familiar face and his eyes widened in astonishment.
Isn't this his foolish father, the prince? Why would he appear in this courtyard at this time, and in such a manner?
