Chapter 7: The Evergreen Empress

He just suppressed the feeling as the black shadow that jumped in through the window was pressed down.This time, two dark figures lea...The peak of Yuanqing Palace was bustling with people, dignitaries walking gracefully, and the entire palace filled with laughter and joy.

Today, the Yuanqing Palace is still bustling with people, but the laughter and joy are gone, replaced by a piercing pallor.

When the Empress arrived, all civil and military officials paid their respects. Seeing the array of civil and military officials who held most of the power in the Daqian Dynasty kneeling before her, Zhang Liyang suddenly understood why so many people craved power.But then his eyes suddenly turned and another sentence came out of Zhang Liyang's mouth."But what Lord Xue said is also right, the granary does indeed concern the safety of Fei Long City, it cannot be...
