Chapter 181: A Royal Headache
Imperial City.
With an anxious expression, the captain of the city guard rushed into the hall, his voice flustered as he reported the latest development to Ji Wuhui.
Listening to the report, Ji Wuhui—who was always composed—couldn't help but reveal a slight fluctuation in his emotions.

Ji Wuhui felt a headache coming on.
