Just then, a loud voice rang out: "Her Highness Consort Ming has arrived!"
Everyone followed the sound with their eyes and, seeing that it truly was Consort Ming, the people of the Lishan Sect and the Penghu Clan were the first to kneel and pay their respects to her.
Seeing this, the Hammer Gang members also had no choice but to kneel and salute Consort Ming.
The Royal Palace Guard with a blade at the Emperor's side, who had been seized by the Hammer Gang, was extremely agitated. He shouted toward Consort Ming, pouring out his grievances: "Your Highness, this bunch from the Hammer Gang refused to let me leave the city and even wanted to drag me back. You must help me get justice."
Consort Ming had not expected the Hammer Gang to be so bold as to even dare arrest a Royal Palace Guard with a blade at the Emperor's side. It was simply treating her and the Emperor as if they were nothing.
"What crime should your Hammer Gang be charged with?"
