The royal court was in chaos. Ministers shouted over each other, defending Yang Luoyang and questioning the Crown Prince's judgment. Zheng Liang and Zheng Xiang exchanged worried glances. Their carefully laid plans were falling apart.

Underneath, a pale blue and cream dress peeked out, its hem decorated with intricate golden designs. An ornate golden belt cinched her waist, and over it all, she wore a sheer layer that sparkled like the night sky.
