Just as Chu Qingmeng and Mu Lingxue had guessed, not long after the female family members gathered in the main courtyard, news came from the outer courtyard that the Imperial Guard had surrounded the Prince's Mansion.

With her hair loose, head lowered, and eyes closed, Chu Qingmeng sat in the seat of honor below Mu Lingxue.
