Royal Capital.
In front of Dongling Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Ning paused his steps, looking up at the high hanging plaque of the mansion, his thoughts still drifting.
Today's battle at Chengqian Palace seemed settled, but he understood the undercurrents had not subsided.
Ji Xuan was forced to close his doors, the Beicang King left with his son, who was also injured by him.
Jiang Ning could see that the Beicang King wasn't a magnanimous person.
Also, he noticed there were some issues with Divine Might King's attitude.
Although Ji Minghao ascended as the new emperor, his foundation was weak, with only Shen Xiao supporting the future Empress's lineage.
"Time..." Jiang Ning murmured to himself, stepping forward to knock on the mansion's door.
Thud, thud, thud—
The three consecutive knocks reverberated far in the quiet morning.
A moment later.
"Who's there?" A crisp girl's voice called from the gate.
"It's me!" Jiang Ning replied.
