As the Eastern Palace Lady left Liluo Palace, the Crown Prince Guards who were temporarily assigned to guard the palace gates last night received orders to withdraw.
Subsequently, a team of light cavalry burst into the city, knocking on the palace gate.
The Emperor hadn't ridden a horse so vigorously in a long time.
In his youth, he was among the best at riding and archery among the Princes.
It was precisely because of this that he felt both proud and resentful when facing the sickly Crown Prince.
But once he became Emperor, he no longer needed to exert himself to prove anything to anyone.
This time, he could have sent a young and strong Military General or guard with his handwritten decree.
But he was afraid, afraid that the person entrusted was unreliable, afraid that his decree was already meaningless in the Capital City.
So he came himself.
The Taiji Palace was empty and deserted.
