Marquis Wu, Tang Buqi, quietly went to the brothel alone and happened to pass by nearby. Seeing the scene, he was about to take action. Suddenly, a red glow erupted, sword light descended from beyond the Nine Heavens, and a blood mark appeared on the thug's throat, causing him to fall backward.
Tang Buqi was dumbfounded, staring in shock at the distant horizon. The setting sun hung low in the west, casting a remaining glow across the sky.
"Has their power already become so absurd? What about my aunt?"
...
"Your Majesty." The palace maid outside the door was reporting: "Tang Chief is here."
Tang Wanju usually met with Xia Chichi without needing to be announced, but today was special. The palace maids heard strange sounds coming from inside... so strange, they clearly hadn't seen anyone go in, could it be that His Majesty was by himself...
There was no response from the Imperial Study. Tang Wanju glanced at the palace maids in confusion before pushing the door open.
