From a distance, the sound of a woman's curses could be heard outside the grand hall.
It was unmistakably Chu Yu cursing someone.
By the time Xie Qun arrived with his men, she was still struggling frantically.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince, Crown Princess Consort.
"Greetings to the King of Chu Kingdom," Xie Qun said as he and his men bowed.
As soon as Chu Yu saw Chu Qi, she cried out for help, "Imperial Brother, save me!"
The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Your excellency, rise."
Xie Qun stood up, straightening himself.
"What happened to your face?" the Crown Prince noticed a fresh red palm mark on Xie Qun's face, where blood beads could still be seen.
Xie Qun chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing, nothing."
He couldn't possibly admit that he was scratched unawares by Princess Wuyang—that would be somewhat embarrassing to spread.
"Where is Yan Lingzhen?" Yan Wanqing asked indifferently.
