On the evening of July 18th, at the Six Books Hotel, the sunset cast the shadows of window panes onto the room floor, while white curtains fluttered in the wind.

He got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom, pondering: If the Second Prince gets attacked while Li Qingping has sneaked out, wouldn't Li Qingping be removed from his position when he returns to Whale Terrarium, or worse, be severely punished?
