The battle began after nightfall and lasted until the break of dawn the next day.
There were countless dead and wounded at the Princess Residence, and the Imperial Guards' team finally took a temporary respite after daybreak.
Everyone was seeing red; the whole Princess Residence was a river of blood.
But not long after daybreak, for some reason, news from Her Majesty the Empress prompted the Imperial Guards to retreat from the Princess Residence, taking up positions nearby.
Although the troops had not left, at least they weren't continuing their attack.
Jiang Tao's body was covered with wounds, drenched in blood.
When he returned to the west wing courtyard, he looked up to see the Princess sitting on the roof, still gasping for breath.
His heart ached at the sight.
The Princess was wronged.
When had their Princess ever been so disheveled?
Had it not been for Feng Wuya, why would it have come to this?
