At this point, Duke An exhaled a long sigh of relief.
Chen Sheren fully observed Duke An's relief, a cold smile forming in his heart.
The Emperor was right. Such a colossal family as the Zheng Family, with the Grand Empress Dowager in the palace, and people in both the court and the army, with silver and private soldiers, is not easy to uproot. By cutting piece by piece, and bleeding out slowly, the Zheng Family will naturally weaken over time.
Having said everything that needed to be said, Duke An bowed his head and pleaded, "Your Majesty, the guilty subject has not seen the Grand Empress Dowager for more than half a year. I humbly request Your Majesty's grace to allow this guilty subject to visit Jingyang Palace and pay respects to the Lady."
Jiang Shaohua did not stop him: "Very well. Chen Sheren, accompany the Lord on this visit."
