"Protect the Crown Prince—"

By the time the guards from the Crown Prince's Mansion had arrived and controlled the situation, most of the adversaries were dead and the survivors were severely wounded.

The incident of the Crown Prince getting injured happened at midnight, and all news was locked down within an hour. The Imperial Physician continuously entered the Crown Prince's Mansion from the Imperial Palace and did not come out again; the tense atmosphere spread to every corner from the endlessly lit lanterns and the ceaseless in and out movements of people, yet was strictly contained within the Mansion's walls.

Qi Ling hurried back and saw Qi Yu kneeling in the courtyard, where the number of guards had visibly increased. Imperial Physicians and attendants rushed about in haste, the scent of blood wafting from inside the house to the yard.
