The Empress Dowager had never seen Duke Chong's face so grim.
Her heart was pounding.
Prince Qi felt a bad premonition rise in his heart and asked, "What happened?"
Duke Chong reported the exposure of the secret weapon manufacturing in Zhangzhou to the Empress Dowager.
The blood drained from the Empress Dowager's face, leaving only paleness.
She suddenly looked at Prince Qi, "You must return to your fief immediately."
Prince Qi's face turned pale, and his expression became ominous, intimidating those who saw him.
He looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "I just returned to the Capital and leaving hurriedly doesn't make sense."
Prince Qi had endured for over a decade, and he wouldn't do anything reckless to alert his enemies now.
But the exposure of the Zhangzhou matter...
Staying in the Capital was truly dangerous.
Did Marquis Dongxiang lure him to the Capital to hold him there, unable to stir trouble for the court?
