Yang Xiao naturally didn't want to blow things up because of his gluttony, so he said:
"Minister Liu, it's just a meal, is it worth this fuss? Aren't you considering the Eldest Prince's reputation at all?"
Minister Liu sneered:
"Dining without paying at the Royal Inn affects the royal family's reputation. Even if the Eldest Prince dines here, he pays properly. Who do you guys think you are?"
"Can't you send someone to notify the Eldest Prince and ask if he instructed us to eat here? What if you've misunderstood?"
"I don't have the time to bicker with you scoundrels. Don't expect to stall. Pay up, or no one can save you."
Xue Gang suddenly remembered and said:
"Minister Liu, I'll say it again, it's the Eldest Prince who asked us to stay here, and all expenses are on his tab. How about this, you contact the Prince through the inn's communication system and ask him, won't that clear things up?
As a guard of the Royal Palace, would I be foolish enough to dine and dash here?"
