At this moment, something collapsed with a loud crash, unnoticed by the millions of common people, right in front of the civil and military officials, and even more so in the heart of Shang Ruyi!
Pulled down from the Dragon Chair and stumbling down the Heavenly Terrace, Chu Chengfei suddenly felt as if something was extracted from him. His weeping stopped abruptly, and he even raised his head in some bewilderment, looking at the Empress Dowager, whose face was pale and eyes filled with sorrow. Then, he turned back to look at the Dragon Chair that no longer belonged to him.
He slowly came to a stop, finally letting out a long sigh.
Just then, a hunched, emaciated figure stepped out from the officials, walking step by step to the front of the Empress Dowager, and then slowly knelt and kowtowed.
In a deep voice, he said, "Thank you—Empress Dowager!"
It was Ji Hong!
