The streets were bustling with people, noticeably more lively than usual. Everyone knew that today was the day of the Prime Minister's funeral, and they all wanted to come out and see the spectacle.
The Empress's phoenix carriage had just passed by, and people gathered again to discuss in excitement…
"The Empress fainted from anger that day at the Execution Ground; I thought she wouldn't show up today!"
"What are you saying? The Prime Minister is her own father; how could she not appear?"
"Hmm, true. With the Prime Minister's funeral today, I wonder if anything will happen." The speaker's tone wasn't one of concern but rather gossiping, clearly hoping for some drama today for excitement.
"The War Prince didn't leave the mansion today, so nothing major should happen."
"True, with the Empress here to hold the fort, who would dare provoke them besides the War Prince?"
"Sigh, I should have just stayed home and done some farm work. This calm is just wasting my time."
