Upon arriving here, they could hear the heartfelt thoughts of father and son, both of whom waited anxiously outside, finally witnessing the scene they had dreamed of day and night.
"Let's go."
The Empress turned around and waved silently at them. Then she lightly stepped off the corridor, her footsteps brisk as she walked out of the palace gates.
Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan followed closely behind, only stopping when they had crossed the pathway and could no longer hear any sound from Qianqing Palace, whereupon the Empress turned to them with a smile:
"This is wonderful."
After saying this, as if it wasn't enough, she repeated, "This is wonderful!"
Tears glimmered in her eyes as she took Fu Zhen's hands: "This is wonderful!"
Fu Zhen felt her hands being tightly enveloped, feeling their strength and warmth, which influenced her whole being.
"Indeed, this is truly wonderful! I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Fu Zhen excitedly bowed.
