Although the entire Daxing City was shrouded in a tense feeling of impending storm, at this moment, there wasn't a hint of wind. Within the broad paths between the palace walls, the heavy but orderly footsteps could be clearly heard approaching slowly.
It was the footsteps of Shang Ruyi.
Eunuch Cao, who walked ahead of her leading the way, had brisk yet light steps. This was a skill commonly possessed by eunuchs walking in the palace. Besides this, he had another skill, which was being able to slightly turn his head to clearly see the expression of the person behind him.
This is also the skill upon which the palace eunuchs rely to survive.
At this moment, he could see the tightly held expression of the General's wife who was in the eye of the storm, pondering thoughtfully as she walked.
He wondered if she was thinking about meeting Your Majesty shortly, or about the Great General she had only just parted from outside Hanguang Gate.
