Chapter 324: Ripples

The elderly eunuch said this, and the Empress gave a quiet nod.
Seeing this, everyone exchanged glances, and the delight that rose visibly on each face was impossible to miss.
"Good that he is gone. Now we can go back to our own residences."
Fourth Prince Li Zi said cheerfully to the Sixth Prince Li An beside him.
Li An also appeared extremely pleased, and nodded, "With the Eighth younger brother gone, it feels like a mountain has been lifted from one's shoulders. The relief is immediate."
