There were a few members of the Imperial family and important ministers and officials who were invited to join the banquet at the watchtower. As the festivity ended, Qin Zhi Hao had arranged for the ministers to return to their homes, and for the others to return to the palace on a few separate ways.
Although a few guards were arranged to accompany them to ensure their safety, the member of the imperial family was still rattled over this matter that they did not dare to make a fuss and instead, followed after the prince's arrangement quietly.
The Crown Prince, Qin Zhi Xuan, was exchanging a few words with the Emperor when he noticed his seventh brother walked over to them with a grim expression on his face. The Crown Prince and the Emperor quickly ended their conversation.
"Your Highness," Qin Zhi Hao stopped and greeted the Crown Prince.
"I will leave the Emperor's safety to you," the Crown Prince spoke.
