The clouds were low and thick, pressing down on the city as if to crush it.
The Taiji Palace stood majestically in the north, yet it felt desolate and lonely due to the emperor's absence.
Amidst this desolation, a few who had lost the emperor's favor remained.
For example, Beauty Shu.
The once-favored Beauty Shu suddenly fell from grace shortly after her "accidental" miscarriage, and she didn't even accompany the emperor to the Hot Spring Palace.
However, a team of Imperial Guard remained stationed outside the Liluo Palace, and Tang Xiaobai had yet to find an opportunity to see her.
But today, no matter what, Tang Xiaobai had to see her.
She needed to know more about the Wang Family's whereabouts.
The horse stopped at the palace gate.
Tang Xiaobai was about to dismount when she heard someone call, "Crown Princess Consort, please wait!"
She turned around and saw a young man in official robes, elegantly poised, with a face like jade.
It was Xue Shaojian.
