Chương 692: Proposal (2)

Seven days ago, when the sound of a funeral resounded through the capital, Gu Yuan knew that Empress Dowager Yuan had started to take action. He immediately mobilized the Commandant of the Capital and the 2,000 Shangyang Army soldiers to take down the 1,000 Tiger Army soldiers in the capital in one go and quickly controlled the four city gates.

Only when Chu Yi escorted a group of criminals back to the capital from the imperial mausoleum did Empress Dowager Yuan know that she and Chu You had failed.
