―――Shuanghua Residence.
At noon, the drizzle outside had long ceased.
"What!"
A mixture of both surprise and shock echoed through the hall.
Lin Jiaojiao sat on an armchair, her hand unsteady as she placed the teacup; she looked at Shiyi standing not far in front of her and asked for confirmation once more, "Is the news true?"
"It was reported to the court at 09:00 this morning."
Since it involved reporting to the court, there would be no falsehood. She was stunned for a long time, the news of the Lin'an Government Office's massacre left her in jitters.
There must have been at least a hundred people in the entire Lin'an Government Office, who were killed overnight. Just who had the audacity to commit such a horrifying act under the nose of the Son of Heaven in Lin'an?
