Zheng Liang and Yang Ning's journey back to the capital was unexpectedly prolonged by a few more days due to an ambush by masked men, causing a delay in their travels.
Upon their return, the royal court was in a state of turmoil after they found out that despite the couple's disguise, the Crown Prince and Princess were attacked outside the palace. The details of their journey to Xinling City were known to only a select few, yet someone had managed to assault them en route.
The reason behind the attack was still unknown. Was it the deed of local bandits targeting Zheng Liang and Yang Ning, or was it a pre-planned assault on the royal family?
It was still a mystery!
Thinking about the situation, people couldn't help but relate this incident to the Empress. In a shockingly brief span of time, calamity had struck the royal family not once, but twice.
