Zhou Shuren left the Palace and walked slowly; both he and the Emperor knew that the Crown Prince would be attacked, yet they had not anticipated such a massive scale of assassins that the Emperor's secret guards had to reveal themselves.

Upon leaving the Palace, Zhou Shuren turned around to look back at the imperial Palace, cursing in his heart. Damn the era of imperial power, he took a deep breath and made another mental note about the Wen family.
