Chapter 559

Although Gan Heng submitted and asked for punishment, his momentum was like that of a palace coup! The bright sunshine outside the Pingzhang Palace dimmed instantly, and a chilling aura swept through the hall. A thin frost spread outward from the Empress's throne, and the golden light pouring in through the glazed windows transformed into the cold light of the Greater Yin. Although bright and unobstructed, it carried an oppressive, bone-chilling cold. Inside the Pingzhang Palace, whether they were eunuchs, palace maids, scribes, or editors, everyone trembled with fear. Ever since the Pingzhang Palace was opened and they began working in the palace, they had never seen the Empress so furious. Even on the night Zhou Yulong visited, he had been entirely suppressed by the Empress from start to finish. Although the two had traded sharp words, there was never any sign that their conflict would spill over to the servants.
