It was the third watch of the night.
The entire Jiaofang Office still blazed with brilliant lights, rainbow colors, and drifting incense.
Yet silence reigned inside and out, and an atmosphere of terror pervaded all thirteen floors.
Clang-
On the eleventh floor of Heaven on Earth, several elegant private rooms had been smashed to pieces, leaving wreckage everywhere.
The second prince stood motionless. Rage twisted his handsome face into a hideous mask, and his icy gaze resembled that of a beast choosing someone to devour!
He belonged to the imperial house, noble blood flowed through his veins, and he was a son of Great Qian's sovereign!
He had never suffered such humiliation!
He felt as though his chest would burst!
"You bastard Jia!" The second prince slowly closed his eyes, then snapped them open and roared himself hoarse:
"You are a fool, an utter fool! You humiliated me before everyone just to flaunt your power for a moment. You will pay a terrible price!"
Jia Huan remained expressionless and said calmly:
"Your Highness, I'm a fool? As you said, let us wait and see."
Who was really the fool?
The Pacification Commissioner had come to make an arrest in person, yet you still put on that overbearing air and forced the criminal to his death in public.
Even if I proved that the Jiaofang Office forced respectable women into prostitution, or even that you, the second prince, harbored wanted criminals, could those charges alone bring down a legitimate imperial son? What a fantasy!
Since you insist on looking down from on high and refusing me any respect, I'll overturn the table!
After tonight's uproar, once I uncover Partridge Sky, you won't escape involvement, legitimate imperial son or not. I'll slap you straight with suspicion of rebellion!
