章 191: The Cold Palace

As Yang Lingxin, the Empress herself, became implicated in an attempt to assassinate His Majesty, the palace was plunged into utter chaos. 

The functioning of the royal court ceased for an entire week, as ministers diligently channeled their efforts into executing Zheng Liang's orders and ensuring that Yang Lingxin faced the just punishment she deserved.

In a determined quest for additional evidence against Yang Lingxin, the residence of the Empress underwent a thorough and comprehensive search. The royal guards diligently sealed the premises, imposing strict authorization measures to prevent any unauthorized entry or exit.

As an integral part of the investigation, all the servants affiliated with the Empress Residence were expelled from the palace, as doubts surrounding their loyalty and involvement in the affair arose. This sweeping measure aimed to eliminate any potential accomplices or sources of support for Yang Lingxin, leaving no room for compromise.
