Those officials who had once pledged allegiance to Hong Xi were either demoted or dismissed from their posts. Everyone was in danger, and no one dared to plead for them.
With the matter resolved satisfactorily, Jiang Shuyue had barely settled back into the East Palace when a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. In the next instant, she was swept up in a hug and carried away across the palace walls.
