Chapter 262: Rising Step by Step

Li Sangruo was clutching at her skirt as she walked forward when she nearly tripped. Several eunuchs and palace maids rushed to steady her, barely managing to keep her on her feet. Her voice quivered with anger as she spoke.

"Where's Shao Cheng? Go and ask, what is he doing?"

The little Huangmen (Eunuch) was so scared that he bowed deeply, not daring to lift his head.

"Reply, replying to the Empress Dowager, the Da Honglu has not yet finished, quickly, it'll be soon..."

"Fools!" Li Sangruo snapped, flinging her sleeves forcefully.

She took a deep breath, attempting to suppress her emotions, but ultimately could not contain her impatience.

"I will go and see for myself."

Tang Shaogong followed silently by her side without uttering a word.

Shao Cheng was in another room along the cloister, guarded at the entrance by soldiers, and the surrounding area was quiet.
