"Where is this traitor...?" Xu Zhenguan snapped out of his thoughts, restrained his emotions, temporarily suppressing the emotions between a man and a woman.
"He is at the residence currently, shall I bring him here?"
"Very well."
Zhao Douan stood up and left the room. After a while, the door was pushed open again, and he stepped into the study holding a handle attached to a large box.
In the Empress's odd gaze, he opened the rivet-studded box, revealing Grandmaster Zhuang, curled up inside, tied up and a "Sleeping Charm" pressed against his forehead.
Zhao Douan pulled Zhuang Xiaocheng out of the box, tossed him onto the floor, and casually tore off the Yellow Paper Talisman from his forehead, sneering:
"We're here. Wake up, Zhuang Xiaocheng, open your eyes and see who stands before you."
Zhuang Xiaocheng's eyelashes fluttered, slowly opening his eyelids, revealing a bewildered expression.
