At this moment, the Royal Palace of Wulang City seemed to be shrouded in a veil of tranquility. The lights had dimmed, and the weak glow flickered unsteadily in the deepening night, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
Most people in the city were already immersed in sweet dreams, their snores rising and falling, narrating the peace of the night.
However, Yili, Bai Zhi, Gong Simeng, Lin Wanqing, and Liu Guihua, the five ladies of Madam Shi, welcomed the urgent news brought by Xie Wen in this silent night, like thunder.
Upon hearing the news, Yili's beautiful willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, like a touch of melancholy added to the spring mountains.
In her eyes, a resolute glint flashed like a cold star, akin to a lightning bolt streaking across the night sky, momentarily illuminating the decision in her heart.
Making a decisive decision, she waved her delicate hand and in an authoritative tone, ordered the guards to execute the defense immediately.
