Yangxin Hall, Emperor Yan is still reviewing the Memorial to the Throne, while inside the hall, Commander Zhao reports the results of his investigation to him.
Emperor Yan set down his pen and looked at him: "The Empress still has a spy in Cining Palace?"
"Yes." Commander Zhao replied: "It's a plain palace maid, usually not noticeable."
Emperor Yan's face showed some displeasure, even a bit ugliness.
"That palace maid is dead?"
Commander Zhao confirmed, hesitated for a while and then said: "Empress Dowager's people are investigating Her Majesty the Empress."
Emperor Yan's pupils slightly contracted, his hand pressed on the White Jade Paperweight beside him, his thick eyebrows tightly furrowed.
He knows his Royal Mother has people she uses, and he also knows those are people left by his Father for her. He always pretended not to know and didn't inquire, just hoping she feels at ease.
But now, she is investigating the Empress, why?
