Capital City, in the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed since that long night.

Over this month, many events had unfolded in the Capital City.

The Eleventh Prince, Mu Qing, and the Rakshasa King, Tao Yaoyao, were both punished for their previous actions. Of course, the punishment wasn't severe—merely a forfeiture of salary and house arrest.

The one most affected was the Crown Prince, Mu Yuan. Originally set to strengthen his power through marriage to the Southwestern Royal House, he might have even ascended to the position of the Crown Prince. However, with the marriage alliance failing, all such talks had turned to dust.

Apart from the Crown Prince, the Southwestern Royal House was the most implicated party. The revelation that Princess Qing Qing was a demon had caused a storm of gossip throughout the city, severely damaging the reputation of the Southwestern Royal House. Even the position of the Martial King was nearly lost.

Furthermore, the heir apparent, Zhu Qingge, had made disrespectful remarks and gestures during Mu Yuan's grand wedding. In a fit of rage, the Emperor of Great Shang stripped Zhu Qingge of all his military titles, and the decline of the Southwestern Royal House seemed inevitable.

However, just when everyone thought the Emperor would continue to pursue the Southwestern King's culpability, the matter was suddenly dropped.

The Southwestern King left dejectedly, returning to the borderlands, perhaps never to return to the Capital City again.

As the month in the Capital City drew to a close, the first snow of winter began to fall heavily from the sky.

The city was draped in a beautiful silver-white, intoxicatingly beautiful.

The arrival of this snow also signified that winter had fully arrived.

The New Year was not far off, especially this year's New Year, which was much earlier than usual.

"Time for your medicine!"

In the Li residence, within the inner courtyard, Li Youwei carried a bowl of medicine to the room with the little red hood and left promptly after setting it down.@@novelbin@@
