The sky was getting dark, and I was still sitting in front of the dragon case, with a stack of memorials on the table.

I was still pondering the bizarre scenes of the day and the accusations made by the Empress against the Prime Minister.

I have always trusted General Mu very much.

How could his entire family be destroyed just because of the Prime Minister's words?

"Hei Feng."

In the empty hall, a person suddenly appeared: "I'm here."

"Take two people, go to the Prime Minister's place, keep a close eye."

"Yes." Then he disappeared without a sound.

I twirled the jade finger between my fingers, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, these pastries were sent by the Empress Dowager." Zhou Qinghai stood at the door, holding a plate in his hands.

"Hmm."

Upon receiving a response, he quickly walked up and placed the pastries on the table.

I stared at the osmanthus cake in front of me: "How is Concubine Li doing?"

"It's strange, after Concubine Li fell into the water, she stopped causing trouble. She spends her days quietly in the palace, just greeting people."

I raised an eyebrow: "Oh? I should go see her."
