The Shadow Guard approached Murong Ce with trepidation and knelt before him, greeting, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Although the bloodstained floor and the blood-splattered curtains in the grand hall had been cleaned, the sweet, metallic scent of blood still lingered in the air.
It was chilling.
Murong Ce looked coldly at the kneeling Shadow Guard.
"Do they think by killing the message-bearing Shadow Guard, they can block all the news? Issue an order to the Shadow Guards of Later Tang, it's time for the people of Later Tang to see the true face of their so virtuous and morally upright Prince Rui."
The Shadow Guard took the order and withdrew.
Only Bai Mengling stood not far away in the massive palace, while the other Palace Attendants trembled and waited outside for orders.
Murong Ce turned his head to look at Bai Mengling, his gaze frosty, "Why haven't you left? Are you not afraid that I might kill you too?"
