"Come, someone..."
The remaining two maidservants cried out in panic upon seeing the situation.
The guards of the Prince Residence swarmed out, each wielding a sword, aiming it cautiously at Chu Baihan.
"What is happening here?" Ziyi and Ziwu just returned from outside at that time, striding in. They too looked very grave upon seeing the scene.
They glanced at Chu Baihan, quickly recalling the report from other Hidden Guards— the Prince had brought the Princess Consort's maidservant.
Could it be this one?
"Lady Dongqing?" Ziyi tentatively called out.
Receiving no response, Ziyi, undeterred, spoke again, "Lady Dongqing, this is the premises of the Prince Residence, and it is wrong for you to intentionally harm someone."
Wrong?
Chu Baihan sneered coldly, pulling out a dagger from her person and stabbing it into the shoulder of one of the maidservants. The victim screamed in agony.
