Although Li Lou's facial features bore a slight resemblance to Li Ji's, his physique was a far cry from the tall, well-built frame of Li Ji, who had practiced martial arts his whole life. With his clothes stripped away, his scrawny, pale body was laid bare.
As an avid spectator of the unfolding drama, Hua Manman found the view entirely unappealing.
Chen Wangbei held up the stripped-off clothes to Prince Zhao, awaiting his next command.
Li Ji didn't even glance at the clothes, saying nonchalantly,
"Since he has worn them, they're tainted. No amount of washing will make them clean. Burn them all."
Upon seeing this, Hua Manman, who was watching furtively, felt her practical-mindedness taking over. She couldn't help but suggest,
"These clothes are perfectly fine. It would be a shame to burn them. Why not sell them for money and donate it to the Charity Hall? It could even earn the Prince some merit."
Li Ji turned his head to glance at her.
