After the morning court session finally ended, the officials gradually left the hall.
The matter of the succession trial and Envoy Li's righteous declaration quickly spread throughout the Imperial Palace.
The princes and their factions were already making their preparations, while the various officials were busy dealing with the countless problems that had arisen because of the Emperor's decision.
At least one thing was certain.
They had a lot of work to do.
Meanwhile, at the Empress's residence, Fen Ling sat behind a large table.
Before her lay a mountain of paperwork.
Documents were stacked everywhere, including reports from different regions, requests from various officials, information about the princes, reports regarding the plague, military reports, and countless other matters that now demanded her attention.
With the Emperor already at death's door, Fen Ling, as the Regent Empress, had become even busier after the calamity ended.
Then—
BANG!
