As the saying goes, "When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on." Hua Qingcheng felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding in her heart, and she instinctively realized that something might be amiss. Thinking of this, her expression instantly became solemn, and her face could not help but darken a bit.
However, when Xiahou Jing, who was sitting in the seat of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion, saw this scene, she showed a smug smile, with the corners of her mouth raised high, and did not hide her inner joy.
As expected, not long after, the palace gates were slowly pushed open from the inside, and 50,000 well-equipped elite soldiers poured into the palace like a tide. Their movements were coordinated and well-trained, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Baohua Hall and the emperor's bedroom, Zichen Hall.

Xiahou Jing's words echoed through Baohua Hall like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz. Everyone present looked at each other, unsure how to react to this sudden change.
