"Let this humble servant kill this witch who brings calamity to the nation first, then we will speak."
"First...kill?"
Chu Yang squinted his eyes and repeated these two words, especially the word "first," which made his heart sink. He suddenly sneered, "Kill her first—then who?"

"Or are you saying your goal from the start was—regicide!"
As he said this, the Imperial Guard had already stepped onto the red steps. They might not have heard the earlier words, but the last two words pierced clearly into everyone's ears!
Regicide!
As soon as they heard these two words, the people were so frightened that they immediately stopped in their tracks.
But they could not stop.
The people behind continued to surge forward, forcing them to rush ahead. Closer and closer, they had already crowded the open space in front of the great hall, surrounding Chu Yang and Shang Ruyi.
After a moment of blind anger and excitement, a hint of hesitation appeared in these people's hearts.
