Chapter 270: Empress Dowager, Empress Both Prostrate on the Dragon Chair? (Part 2)_1

The atmosphere was somber.

It felt so oppressive and solemn.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, cascading down from the heavens and landing directly on the ground.

The Empress Dowager stood in front of the Daming Palace, gazing into the distance.

She saw the civil and military officials in front of the palace and the tightly shut doors of the Daming Palace.

A group of guards stood watch before the palace, clad in armor, their faces fraught with solemnity.

Even the weapons in their hands seemed stained with blood.

Everything was so dignified and forbidding.

Clearly, these guards were all protecting the Empress, fearing that any attempt on her life due to her severe injuries could cause the whole Tang country to crumble into chaos.

The Empress Dowager watched all this with a cold eye, a scornful smile playing on her stunning yet regal face.
