Tracking Down the Suspect

Two middle-aged protectors from the Imperial House strode in. They were dressed in purple robes and emitted a heavy, mighty aura. The ground seemed to tremble with every step they took. It felt like two giant elephants were slowly walking into the residence. 

As they stood in front of the main hall and swept their gaze over the people there, they announced solemnly, "The Emperor has given the following instructions to Xu Huande from the Secret Guardians Hall!"

Xu Huande descended the flight of steps and gave a fist salute while he bowed. "Your servant, Xu Huande!"

One of the middle-aged protectors raised his voice and said, "The Secret Guardians Hall is to begin investigating Consort Ping's assassination case immediately. You are to identify the chief conspirator behind this assassination attempt within three days!"

"Understood!" Xu Huande replied calmly while he held up a fist salute.
