"What is King Wu doing, coming to the Eastern Palace now?"
The Emperor frowned, his voice laced with displeasure.
"Today is the day we detoxify Qingyun," the Empress guessed, standing to one side. "Perhaps he has come to celebrate."
"Then show him in."
The Emperor gave the order, and the gatekeeper turned to announce the visitor.
Ji Xiaosong used her Divine Sense to scan the entire Eastern Palace and discovered it was enveloped in a murderous aura.
'But there are no troops nearby. So where is all this killing intent coming from?'
She looked again at the commoners in the vicinity and, sure enough, saw that there were far more people than usual.
Although these people were dressed as ordinary citizens, their eyes kept darting toward the Eastern Palace.
So that was it. King Wu had hidden his soldiers among the people. At his command, they would move against the Eastern Palace.
Heh.
