Chapter 1082: Awakening, A Myriad of Changes (I)
A multitude of thoughts ran through the empress dowager’s mind. While she was strong, her nation was weak. One person’s strength alone was insufficient to take on the other cardinal directions. Li Hao was unable to outright eliminate them due to certain restrictions, but what if he truly crippled her?
