In just a moment, the palace fell silent.
Shang Ruyi clearly saw Chu Yang's face slowly turning grim. Especially the icy light flickering in those slender phoenix eyes was countless times more severe than before. When they looked at her, it felt as if her blood was being frozen by that extreme cold in his gaze.
She could only grasp her hands tightly under the covers, trying not to tremble too much.
After a while, Chu Yang suddenly let out a light laugh.
He said, "I know."
Shang Ruyi was caught somewhat off guard as she saw his expression become relaxed and cheerful. He stood up, walked to the side, and opened the window. A breeze carrying a fresh fragrance and warmth blew into the hall, dispelling the nearly freezing air that had filled the space just moments before.
Then Chu Yang said, "Who has taken over the Eastern Capital? Liang Shide? Or that bunch of rabble from Wanggang Village?"
"It's both of them together."
"Together?"
