Han Fen knew nothing about where the Princess had hidden the book. She was just reluctant to leave the royal palace. "We'll leave like that? Who'll protect the Queen?"
No one answered her. Gu Shenwei did not evacuate everyone from the royal palace. He left many guards there to protect it.
Before he left, he wanted to teach a lesson to the King of the Stone Kingdom.
Although the Princess had done something wrong, she was still the Dragon King's Queen. No one was entitled to humiliate her, especially the nominal King of the Stone Kingdom.
In the empty main hall, only four or five eunuchs stood near the Emperor behind the pillars, waiting to be called.
The King of the Stone Kingdom curled on the throne sideways, imagining that the court was full of civil and military officials. They were chanting about his virtues and achievements, while he remained dignified and was about to announce his sentence to the Dragon King.
