Inside the Guard Camp barracks of Princess Changle's Residence, Liu Feng was animatedly recounting the major events that had taken place at court to Ye Zhen and Gu Tieqi.
"You have no idea! Those old fossils and stubborn diehards from the Ancestral God Hall, for the sake of that sliver of an almost impossible chance to find the Soul Devil, actually brought out the Blazing Sun Scepter to conduct a soul search on Marquis Anling Ji Jia!"
"The Blazing Sun Scepter! The Ancestral God Hall has three extraordinary scepters. It is one of the two scepters passed down by the Ancestral God Hall that can override imperial authority!
My father said that the Blazing Sun Scepter had not appeared for centuries. The moment it was brought out this time, Prince Li's face turned black!"
Compared with Gu Tieqi, Liu Feng, as a legitimate son, had access to far more secret intelligence.
This was also one of the privileges of the legitimate descendants of noble clans. Every few days, the family elders would recount the major events at court to the direct-line descendants, then have them analyze and discuss them, cultivating their discernment in such matters from an early age.
To be honest, this was Ye Zhen's first time hearing about the Ancestral God Hall's Blazing Sun Scepter. Yet compared to that scepter, what Ye Zhen wanted to know now was the ultimate fate of Marquis Anling Ji Jia.
"Since the Ancestral God Hall even brought out the Blazing Sun Scepter, which can override imperial authority, then Marquis Anling Ji Jia is surely dead this time, isn't he?" Ye Zhen asked cautiously.
This matter involved the imperial clan's dignity, so it would basically not be handled publicly. If Ye Zhen wanted to know the outcome, he could only probe indirectly.
