Yangcheng is brighter than ever tonight, and the air is filled with tension.

Buildings within a three-mile radius of Wanchun Tower were damaged to varying degrees.

The people in the city were in a panic, and the severity of the situation alarmed Emperor Nanxing, who deployed a battalion of troops to surround the outskirts of the city.

Crown Prince Hao Zhuchen was currently at the Zhenbei Palace, learning about the events. The Zhenbei Prince didn't know the details, so a Xuantian Sect disciple, who was recovering from his injuries at the palace, explained everything in detail.

When Prince Lu Yinnian of Beiyue and Zhou Ziyi heard that the Crown Princess of Zhenbei had been assassinated, they followed Hao Zhuchen to visit and offer their condolences. After hearing the thrilling narration from the disciples of Xuantian Sect, they could no longer maintain their composure and were in great confusion.

"Is there any news about the Crown Princess?" Zhou Ziyi asked, his thumb curled nervously in his palm, rubbing it non-stop. It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and if he couldn't find her, it would be dangerous.

Xiang Ge knew what he was thinking, so he put aside his selfish thoughts for the moment and said in a deep voice, "Hatsune was rescued by the Xuantian Sect's leader. I think she should be fine."

Even so, he had no idea what was going on. Two powerful men had returned when the ghost-faced men were confronting Yun Chi and the others, but they suddenly stopped fighting and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After listening to Xuantian Sect's description of the ghost-faced man, Hao Zhuchen's eyes wandered and he was terrified.

Why do those assassins have features so similar to those of the Xicang Ghost Realm? Suddenly, he felt uneasy and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Lu Yinnian and Zhou Ziyi wanted to stay and wait for news, but since Hao Zhuchen had left, they couldn't stay any longer, so they had to get up and leave together.

The dusk was thick, and the bright candlelight illuminated the long bluestone road.

Hao Zhuchen did not return to the East Palace, but went straight to the princess's mansion.

At this moment, Hao Rong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the hall.

The agreed time has passed, and there's still no news from the Ghost Realm, yet they've made such a big fuss. Now that my father and the Zhenbei Palace have been alerted, what if they find out about her?

"Manager Wang, are you sure Meng Huali and you agreed on three days?"

Wang Taiyu was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he slumped to his knees. "Your Highness, I wouldn't dare to deceive you even if I had a hundred guts! This is a promise made by Lord Mengyu himself!"

"Did anyone recognize you in Wanchun Tower that day?" Hao Rong stared at the kneeling man with a fierce look on his face.

"No, no, I swear! If I tell you anything false, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Wang Taiyu was always cautious and had a plan for his own escape, so how could he make such a stupid mistake? His family had already left Yangcheng, waiting for him to escape.

"It's you!" Hao Zhuchen walked in with his eyes wide open, looking at this royal sister who was closest to him, feeling extremely disappointed.

Hao Rong was horrified. She had never expected that her brother would suddenly come over and catch her red-handed. She made up her mind and knelt down in front of him, crying, "Brother, save me! You must save me! Otherwise, the King of Zhenbei will kill me."

"You're still afraid? Do you know how big a mess you've made? You're incredibly stupid, hopeless!" Hao Zhuchen really wanted to chop this idiot to death with one blow! What was Ruan Chuyin's identity? Was this going to lead to war between the two countries, devastating the people and putting them in dire straits?

"Royal brother, I don't know how things have come to this. Meng Huali clearly accepted my money and promised to kill the man within three days. Who knew he would not only break his promise but also cause such a big fuss! Bastard! Hateful! I thought the Ghost Realm was so powerful, but it turns out it's just a name!"

"Snapped"

Hao Zhuchen's eyes turned red with anger after hearing these outspoken words, and he slapped her in the face when he couldn't bear it anymore.

"You bastard, Meng Huali even killed his own father, and you dare to mess with him?" Hao Zhuchen's handsome face turned fierce and he kicked the useless thing in front of him.

He had never imagined that the imperial sister would be so bold as to ask Meng Huali to personally take action, and Meng Huali actually agreed! This was simply putting his head under the guillotine - seeking death!

Hao Rong knelt on the ground holding her stomach, and the blood from the corner of her lips splattered into bright red blood flowers.

Enduring the severe pain, she slowly grasped the corner of Hao Zhuchen's satin robe with one hand, raised her head and cried, "Brother Emperor, I know I was wrong, save me!"
