The Emperor’s command ignited a massive shock wave across the capital city. All the families with military lineage were mobilized.

The Lei family was naturally one of them.

The head of the Lei family jumped up from his chair the moment he heard the news.

“What? Ji Fengyan killed the Eldest Princess?” The head of the Lei family gaped at the messenger.

That person had also just received the news and looked extremely grim. He nodded timidly.

“What the hell is Ji Fengyan doing? Why would she suddenly commit such a heinous crime?” Lei Qin was also stunned. Hadn’t Ji Fengyan just returned in a triumph glory, as the Emperor had specially summoned her back to the capital city to reward her.

How could…

Everything change in just half a day’s time?

The head of the Lei family looked somewhat grave. He had everyone leave the room except Lei Qin.

“I’m afraid that this matter… will blow up.” The head of the Lei family frowned.

Lei Qin looked perplexed. “Grandfather, what exactly happened? Why would Ji Fengyan do something so crazy?”

Lei Qin had always felt that although Ji Fengyan could be obstinate and eccentric, she was still extremely mature and stable. But… killing the Eldest Princess was something that Lei Qin would never have imagined.

“Unless it was because the Eldest Princess was causing trouble for Ji Fengyan again, and Ji Fengyan had a moment of rashness…” Lei Qin recalled Eldest Princess’ earlier scheming to sow discord between the Lei family and Ji Fengyan.

The head of the Lei family shook his head.

“Things are not that simple. Anyway, it seems like Ji Fengyan is indeed very powerful. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have made such a public announcement and mobilized the noble families.”

Lei Qin frowned. The Emperor’s orders included the Lei family.

As much as he didn’t want to provoke Ji Fengyan, the head of the Lei family would have no choice but to follow the orders.

There were several noble families within the capital city, but most of them had had no interactions with Ji Fengyan. Most of the noble families had only heard rumors of Ji Fengyan’s endeavors. After all, her escapades at the capital institute battle and the Plain of Corpses battle had boosted her reputation greatly. Many of the noble families were jealous of Ji Fengyan’s achievements and regretted the fact that their own families hadn’t produced such a prodigy.

Now that the Emperor had passed the order to kill Ji Fengyan, those noble families who had so envied her were taking delight in her predicament and immediately dispatched their men.

The entire capital city was a in a grand flurry as the flames of battle were ignited in all corners.

The Ji family had also just received the news. Ji Qiu immediately went to seek Ji Ru, but he had already locked himself in his study and barred anyone from disturbing him.

The atmosphere in the Ji family had become extremely oppressive.

Ji Qiu, who had been given the cold shoulder, looked even more grim. Ji He followed him and the two of them gathered in the grand hall of the Ji residence.

“Father was truly muddled with old age, protecting that Ji Fengyan. What now? Ji Fengyan has committed such a major crime. Even His Majesty is enraged. The entire capital city is now focused on capturing her. And the Ji family is doomed whether she is taken in or not.” Ji Qiu sat with a grave expression within the hall. He was both infuriated and delighted with Ji Fengyan’s predicament.

He was delighted that Ji Fengyan had dug her own grave, but infuriated that the Ji family would probably be dragged into her mess as well.
