The court was in turmoil.
Invisible waves of turbulence were building in the shadows, only a spark needed to ignite everything.
The next day, Li Zhi issued an edict to confine Empress Wang's family.
—This was a blatant offensive move.
With the support of Gu Jing, he was imbued with unparalleled confidence, declaring the majesty that belonged to the Emperor before everyone.
Such an act was quite obvious.
Even newcomers to the court could sense the oddity, feeling as if treading on thin ice.
At such times, everyone couldn't help but recall the Gu Clan of the past.
Though the Gu Clan of the past made many unable to see the road ahead.
At the same time... it also spared much of the strife.
Yet, it wasn't just Li Ji who wished to stay on the sidelines and not meddle in such a sensitive matter.
After all, the stakes were too high in such matters.
Unfortunately, not everyone had the privilege of neutrality.
