Mr. Zhao had no choice but to hurriedly roll over to Zhaohai Palace to convey the unwelcome oral decree of the Grand Empress Dowager.
Currently, outside Zhaohai Palace, hundreds of Imperial Guards were patrolling vigilantly. These elite soldiers all came from Nanyang County and were confidants of the Commandery Princess, willing to kill and set fire for her without regard for their own lives.
The situation in the palace also became subtle with the arrival of a thousand Nanyang Guards.
Previously, Grand Empress Dowager Zheng was stern in words and actions, and though the Commandery Princess respected her elders, she never had disputes in front of others. Now, with a thousand loyal, reliable, and highly skilled soldiers, her confidence visibly grew. The enthronement ceremony was set for tomorrow, and this Zhaohai Palace, now with a master, gained an imposing and solemn aura.
