Ninth year of Zhaoning, fifteenth day of the first month.
The Great Tang Imperial Palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers, yet under the illumination of countless lanterns, there still existed many dark corners, never touched by light.
Emperor Tang Zhao had transformed from a small child into a valiant youth, towering over his peers and appearing almost like an adult at a glance.
He sat in the study, seemingly engrossed in reading, but in the flame before him, an ant-sized figure was reporting something with subtle Divine Thought.
Upon hearing something, Emperor Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and responded, "He went to the Empress Dowager's bedchamber again?!"
At that instant, the young emperor's eyes revealed a clear intention to kill. At this moment, the study door silently opened, and a palace maid entered, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the Nourishing Essence Soup."
