On this day, the Empress's phoenix carriage had just come out of the Imperial Palace and was blocked shortly after.
The phoenix carriage jolted violently and came to a stop. The Empress's body tilted slightly as her delicate brows furrowed. She opened her eyes and asked, "What on earth is happening outside?"
The palace maid shook her head and replied, "I don't know, let me go and have a look."
Having said that, she quickly stepped forward to the window, pulled back the curtain, and loudly asked, "What's going on? Why have we stopped? Don't you know the Empress has urgent matters to attend to?"
Today was the day of the Prime Minister's funeral. The Empress was in a hurry to bid farewell to the Prime Minister on his final journey. If she missed the Shichen, not seeing him for the last time would be a lifelong regret.
At that moment, a figure swiftly approached the phoenix carriage, moving so fast that the guards completely failed to stop him.
