- Gao Jili stood anxiously at the gate of the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, sweat pouring off him in layers. In just a short while, he had already used up two handkerchiefs. A guard tried to reassure him, "Chief Steward Gao, we're already at the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, why are you even more anxious than when we were on the road?" Gao Jili stamped his foot and sighed, "It's precisely because we've arrived that I'm anxious." His weak, pitiful, and helpless Highness had been in the clutches…

- After resolving the matters in the front, Wei Zhao went to the rear hall to check on Mu Jue.

- The Crown Prince's guards clenched their fists, instinctively moving to block, but were stopped by Mu Yun's gaze. "Stand down. Do not be disrespectful to the Marquis."

- Wei Zhao also hadn't expected to encounter such a troublesome matter as soon as he returned to the capital. His gaze swept coldly across the room, finally landing on the handsome youth sitting in the first seat on the left, who was still lowering his head and drinking wine. His phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of chill. Based on the various information provided by the secret guard, he couldn't help but suspect that this matter was related to the little Crown Prince. After all, this little…

- Although he knew that Wei Zhao had already dismissed all the irrelevant people near the carriage, the secret guard still scanned his surroundings very cautiously and said, "Your Lordship may not know, but since His Majesty ascended the throne, the Crown Prince has harmed two imperial fetuses!"

- At the same time, on the road to the imperial capital, the Marquis of Dingbei, Wei Zhao, reclined in a silver-white archer's robe in his carriage, his phoenix eyes half-closed, listening to a secret guard's report on the situation in the capital. This time, Emperor Changping had summoned him back to the capital.

- "Master~" "Master~" The soft, sweet voice, like a kitten's paws, scratched at one's heart. It was also like a mouthful of sticky syrup, threads upon threads, lingering on the throat, a sweetness that reached the very core of one's heart.
