On the same night that Wang Jian returned to his palace in the Royal Capital, a shocking incident sent waves of panic throughout the Empire.
The Empress and the Second Queen, who held significant positions as the Emperor's main and secondary wives respectively, mysteriously vanished from their palaces.
The Empress, who was the mother of the Crown Prince Wang Hao, and the Second Queen, who was the mother of the Second Princess Wang Ying, held significant influence within the Empire, and it was their relentless pleas that led to the imprisonment of Wang Jian's mother, Bai Liqin, within the dreaded Azure Rocks Silent Dungeon.
In the midst of the chaos caused by the Devil Forces' attack and the mass liberation of prisoners from various prisons around the capital, the Emperor's faction found itself severely short-handed in terms of guards and security personnel.
