The Great Zhou Emperor, nearly concealed by the tiger's claw.
Empress Dowager Li spoke in a barely audible whisper.
So soft that Empress Wang and the multitude of Noble Consorts and others did not hear it.
Aside from the King of South Ming and the Queen of the South Ming, only Wu Yuemei, who was closest to Empress Dowager Li, and Wu Ling heard what she said.
Upon hearing Empress Dowager Li's words, the King of South Ming's eyes flashed with shock, and the Jade Bead he was fiddling with paused slightly, the tense expression on his face slowly relaxing.
Watching the Divine Palace,
the figure of the Great Zhou Emperor, enveloped in blood and growing less visible, the King of South Ming was startled to sense the Emperor's presence fading away.
How could it disappear?
Is he dead?
Thoughts churned in the King of South Ming's mind, and he almost laughed out loud.
