Chapter 1868: Preventing the Holy Finger from Descending!

"What's the matter?"

Zimo furrowed his brows.

Zhe Jue had not yet finished speaking when Lin Caisang interrupted him.

"What are they secretly plotting now?" she asked.

Zhe Jue glanced awkwardly at his lady and then turned his gaze to his lord.

"My lord, the message from the palace states that the cloaked figures want to take our lady... to the palace to become the emperor's consort," he said somberly.

"Damn it!"
