Chapter 137: His Majesty's heart had grown askew
The heavy rain that covered the world was like an encircling mist and dense fog, now allowing people to see clearly the scenery far away.
The dark night of the capital enveloped in it even more, an ash colored, dark secret.
In the Mid Autumn fest night with a round moon, his Majesty's beloved princely son was attacked by a.s.sa.s.sins. Prince Ying was summoned into the imperial palace the same night.
The great ministers that returned home from the palace banquet, all of their hearts were alarmed.
One was the son of the Empress with repeated military success. The other was the doted on and beloved prince.
No matter which one had an mishap, it would give rise to great chaos among the imperial court.
This night was bound to be not peaceful.
No one could sleep soundly without worries.
No one dared to sing loudly to their heart's content.
