Emperor Chu Wen had passed away, a national mourning, a great loss for the entire nation.
Xiao Guangzhao, in sackcloth and filial attire, knelt at the forefront with everything firmly grasped, composed and unruffled.
Xiao Guangjing glanced at him, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, as he knelt behind with a heart as cold as ice. The Empress Dowager wanted him to acknowledge, yet after years of plotting, it was Xiao Guangzhao who ascended to the throne. How could he possibly concede? And yet, Mo Heng and Pei Qin...
Pei Qin had verified the imperial edict, and she involved herself no further, leaving matters to those ministers who should perform during the new emperor's ascension, naturally giving them the opportunity.
With Mo Heng overseeing military affairs, everything was firmly under control.
Soon, news spread far and wide, and the whole nation lamented in unison, fulfilling filial duties for Emperor Chu Wen.
