Zhao Junyao pondered for a while with no result.
He immediately stood up and gave orders.
"Someone, prepare to go to Ningshou Palace!"
He hadn't visited the Empress Dowager in a long time. Perhaps... it was time to see her.
"Yes!"
Li Shengan answered and quickly went out to prepare.
...
Ningshou Palace.
The Empress Dowager wore a plain brown Phoenix Robe, her graying hair meticulously styled into a bun adorned with a simple glass hairpin and a brown antique jade hair ornament.
A string of 108 carved rosewood Buddhist prayer beads hung around her neck.
She held a delicate gypsophila Buddhist prayer bead bracelet in her hands.
Right now.
She was kneeling reverently before the Buddha, silently praying for something.
Time flowed by bit by bit, with each prayer bead in her hand being moved.
The small Buddha hall was profoundly tranquil, with sandalwood incense curling in the air, accompanied only by the quiet breathing and the gentle sound of ash falling.
