Empress Dowager knows Everything

The sky was getting dark as Jiang Ying Yue made her way through the empty courtyard that was already illuminating because of the dozens of lanterns that the servants had hung throughout the place.

Her feet carried her straight toward the Imperial study where the Empress Dowager was supposed to be attending to official documents that the court ministers submitted during the morning assembly.

No one noticed her presence as she whisked past the servants that were walking across the courtyard, nor did the guards that were standing on watch outside the Imperial Study.

Jiang Ying Yue entered the Imperial study through the open window at the very back of the double story building that was built by the previous Emperor who used to rule the Hyuang Empire way before the current Empress Dowager took over the reigns of the throne.
