Zhou Cangyan galloped to the Imperial Palace. After dismounting, he headed straight for Chongzheng Hall.
Fang Xiu was waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing him, she immediately came forward. "Prince Qing, the Empress asks that you first return to Kunyi Palace. Her Majesty will speak to the Holy Emperor on your behalf. Please, do not act rashly."
Zhou Cangyan's gaze was cold, and a biting chill emanated from him. He didn't break his stride.
"Your Highness!"
Fang Xiu had been ordered to stand guard here and had no choice but to desperately block him. She stepped forward to bar his path. "Your Highness! With Her Majesty here, you can rest assured."
Zhou Cangyan stopped. His pale eyes swept over her, seemingly without effort. "I naturally trust the Empress, but this is one matter I cannot afford to gamble on."
"Prince Qing! Prince Qing, please wait..."
Zhou Cangyan's gaze grew even colder as he went straight to the Imperial Study Room.
