At this point, Lu Xuyang deliberately prolonged his tone, watching the sudden tightening of his brothers' expressions.
"Even those legendary infallible guards, the Wanjing Imperial Guards, vanished completely after escorting the Crown Prince's carriage back to the palace."
"What's even more astonishing is that the main hall of the Eastern Palace is now surrounded without a gap by the Forbidden Army led by Mr. Fen."
Lu Xuyang lowered his voice intentionally, as if recounting some absurd joke.
"Even the formidable Guard Commander of the Eastern Palace from the Peng Family was secretly taken away on a rainy night several days ago without a hint of news."
"Oh, almost forgot, this Guard Commander Peng Tian Sheng was actually imprisoned along with the royal father-in-law, Lord Peng Lie, in the Heavenly Prison."
