Prince Rui had barely finished speaking when a guard with a panicked face burst in. His voice trembled as he shouted, "Your Highness! This is bad! Outside… a lot of soldiers suddenly appeared! So, so many soldiers! The ones in the lead are Prime Minister Yu and the Heir of Marquis Wu'an!
Prime Minister Yu is acting like a madman! He started killing everyone the moment he arrived! Like… like an Evil Ghost come to claim our souls!
He said if Lady Yu Xiang is harmed in the slightest, he'll send every last one of us to Hell!"
Everyone present was utterly horrified.
Their eyes flew to Shen Qing, the woman at the heart of the crisis. Several officials who had been clinging to a sliver of hope scrambled to their feet, turning to Shen Qing with panicked faces. "Lady Yu Xiang, we… we had no idea Prince Rui had secretly come to the Capital City! And we certainly don't know why you were brought here! Please, Lady Yu Xiang, we beg you to put in a good word for us with the Prime Minister!"
