All around was solemn, with all things silent.
No one dared to utter a word; now, whoever dared to speak an extra word would face "death"!
Not everyone was like Lin Xiang, with an unyielding spirit unafraid of death. It was already hard enough for them to be placed under house arrest in Qianyang Palace, with no chance for further demands.
The eunuch left, smug, seeing that they had fallen silent.
Once the eunuch and palace maids had left, a few Ministers whispered angrily, "Those spineless bastards, scum, dared… to so ruthlessly murder Lin Xiang, truly unforgivable!"
"Yes, they will be judged sooner or later!"
"..."
The few Ministers roared, but their words sounded impotent and defeated.
Hard, too hard; to defeat Rong Si and reclaim the power for Your Majesty, it was nearly impossible.
So they could only shout a few lines, unable to do anything else.
"Your Majesty…"
One Minister looked at Rong Zhuo, eyes filled with helplessness and bitterness.
