Triumphant return!
In the Imperial Study Room, both the ruler and ministers stood frozen in amazement. On Xu Zhenguan's usually dignified and solemnly composed face, much maintained before the court ministers, an expression of disbelief uncontrollably surfaced.
Not only her, but Mo Chou, standing beside her, was equally dumbfounded, instinctively turning her head to glance at the Empress, feeling a bit skeptical and uncertain whether this drama was real or fake.
Meanwhile, the elderly Chief of Staff from the Ministry of War kneeling on the ground, along with the Vice Secretariat Envoy of the Privy Council and other military officers, displayed expressions of astonishment. As they exchanged looks, they read shock in each other's eyes.
The Qingzhou Rebel Army annihilated? Prince Heng captured?
Zhao Douan's triumphant return?
Wait...
Is this not an illusion?
