The Greater Good (VII)

Shortly after the doors to the Grand meeting hall were closed, a figure in a dark purple dress emerged from the doors followed by a long entourage. It was none other than Empress Feng, who had just gone inside but was now seen walking out of the Grand Meeting Hall.

The guards that had been standing around the Grand meeting hall were all bewildered. 

...Didn't the Empress just arrive?

However, they all quickly recovered and hid their confusion behind their straight faces. All bowed down in unison as the Empress took a step forward.

Heading out Hui Lan could not help but feel much better. It was too stuffy inside and so many kinds of perfume were swirling around the entire room. If she was not able to see, she would have thought that she was in a room full of wildflowers.

...Hm, now it was her turn to show some greeting to an elder in the palace, off to Ping An palace…

Ping An Palace.
