Chapter 1624: The Dust Settles!

Asura had never imagined that his foe would be so crafty. He had scouted out the area before and seen that no one was around. Otherwise, he would have never walked into the trap in the first place.

But it was clear that his foe had outplayed him. They had positioned men even farther off and waited until now to close the net.

If this tight encirclement had not been enough to make Asura yield, if he still wanted to try and break out, at this moment, even more torches appeared as the various consorts appeared with their maids, eunuchs, and servitors. Asura's face instantly turned ashen.

"This consort can't believe it! To think it was true! Someone really was trying to kill Jade Consort Xiao!"

"How despicable! They even tried to frame Jade Consort Xiao and the Fifth Prince!"

"Just what sort of person was behind it all? We must have the Sage Emperor investigate this! Seize that assassin, quickly! Don't let him escape! We might be able to find a clue on him."

"Everyone, hear my order! Seize that assassin, and this consort will richly reward you!"

The voices of the various consorts caused Asura's heart to sink. When evil grew one foot taller, the righteous would grow ten feet. Anything he did now would be pointless.

Even if he turned back around and killed Jade Consort Xiao, it would still be pointless.

After tonight, whether Jade Consort Xiao lived or died, Fifth Prince Li Heng would be walking out of the Imperial Clan Court.

And he was the crucial piece that would allow Li Heng to go free!

King of Foreign Lands!

Asura looked up, only one name on his mind. Although he had no evidence, Asura was sure that the King of Foreign Lands had planned all of this.

He had lost, utterly and thoroughly.

And he had brought the First Prince down with him!

……

"What? Asura was captured?"

The Eastern Palace resounded with furious roars that shook its very foundations.

"How could this be? How could this be?! It's impossible!!"

The First Prince
