Outside the East Palace Gate, long knives and swift horses stood vigilantly in formation.
As Tang Xiaobai passed the palace gate, she glanced over and asked, "Who is leading the team?"
"General He Li of the Left Brave Guard."
The Emperor's Twelve Guards had an extremely complex power structure.
The Left Brave Guard was close to the Zheng Family, making it most appropriate for them to join forces with Prince Jin, Li Shu.
The Crown Prince entered the Capital City without an imperial decree, enough for many to imagine a coup drama unfolding.
The Left Brave Guard, returning to the Capital on orders, likely had elements of acting as the situation demanded, aside from inquiries.
As the carriage passed through the palace gate, Tang Xiaobai asked, "Where is His Highness?"
"In the Lizheng Hall."
Tang Xiaobai was a bit surprised.
She hadn't seen He Li outside the palace gate earlier; he was probably taken inside to meet the Crown Prince.
