"Dare not? I see there is nothing Lady Ulaanala does not dare to do!" Fourth Master snorted. "You do not care about the life and death of the commoners, truly unworthy of the Duke title. Be demoted to a Marquis and reflect on your actions." Fourth Master stood up, "Since the Empress wishes to move to another palace, let her move into Kunning Palace."
"Court is dismissed." Fourth Master waved his hand and strode away.
The ministers below hurriedly knelt down to see off His Majesty.
But Xinghui of the Ulaanala clan was stunned.
He became a Marquis? The Empress moving into Kunning Palace was at the expense of his title?
He felt an indescribable sense within himself, feeling a great loss, yet he also thought that if the Empress could secure her position, perhaps there would still be a chance to rise in rank later...
His feelings conflicted, he also considered the presence of Changzai in the imperial harem; maybe he could bask in some favor later on?
