In the main hall of the Black Office, the atmosphere was solemn. A few civilian staff were summarizing news while chief constables were on standby. Once there was news, they would immediately set off to patrol.
Dongfang Liren was sitting upright in front of the hall, commanding and dispatching people. After being assassinated last night, she thought that the empress would call her into the palace to reprimand her and had been waiting for the imperial edict.
But what she didn't expect was that the edict-bearer from the palace didn't come. Instead, a maidservant from the Prince of Jing Estate ran to the hall and whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, Her Majesty has come…"
"Uh?!" There was a man hiding in Dongfang Liren's bed. When she heard this, her beautiful face naturally turned pale. She asked nervously, "Is Her Majesty in Jasper Pavilion?"
"No, Her Majesty is waiting for Your Highness in the garden. Her Majesty wants Your Highness to go over quickly."
