Changan, Royal City.
White Jade Square. Snow was falling from the sky.
The atmosphere before the Taiji Palace was deadly silent and oppressive like it had frozen over.
The first prince had left along with Pei Liao and the many warriors of the Imperial Court of Judicial Review. He left with a belly full of anger as he rushed to the Youzhou Demon Portal in order to uncover the truth of this matter.
However, the atmosphere in the square had not calmed down. On the contrary, it had become even tenser.
The fifth princess gently patted the second prince who was smiling like an idiot next to her. She would occasionally cough and use a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth. Her complexion was pale and when she released her hand, a hint of red tinged her silk handkerchief.
Her gaze looked a little dazed. It was as though she could not fully understand what was happening before her eyes.
The third prince's expression looked indiscernible.
