Chapter 53: Chapter 53

After the Crown Prince failed to capture the Imperial Palace, he was gradually forced back to his Eastern Palace. The Tian Sheng Emperor wanted to keep the fighting contained to this area, preferring to stain the Eastern Palace than allow blood to be spilled in the Zhao Hua main palace.

Military reports were brought in from time to time, and the Tian Sheng Emperor would read each with an indecipherable expression. His eyes were calm in the candle light, and every wrinkle on his face seemed furrowed with experienced.

Feng Zhiwei's heart was chilled, like the clear-jade Go piece she held in her fingers.

The Imperial Family had been sucked into an abyss.
