"Who is there? Daring to intrude upon the Prince's Residence at night! Seize her!"
"Capture the assassin!"
When Chu Qianli awoke, she was still in a groggy state.
Upon opening her eyes, her vision was filled with guards and torches.
The firelight soared, stinging her eyes, making it hard for her to keep them open, so she squinted instinctively.
She tried to raise her hand to block the light in front of her, but to her surprise, she found her hands were bound as she attempted to move them.
"What's going on?" In the midst of the confusion, a deep and unfamiliar male voice rose from within the crowd.
"Sir, this female assassin attempted to assassinate the Prince and has been captured by us."
"Assassin?" At those words, a wave of revulsion came over the official.
Without a second thought, he barked, "Drag her away for execution!"
"Yes!"
Two guards immediately took hold of Chu Qianli, ready to drag her away.
Chu Qianli finally snapped fully awake.
