"Are you saying that in Great Li, a young lord has now ascended to the throne, with the Empress Dowager acting as regent, assisting the young emperor?"
Gu Yiwu's eyes slightly widened.
"A widow mother ruling in court, holding sway over one of the largest dynasties in the northern part of Wangque Continent, both in terms of population and territory?"
Yunniang sighed softly and nodded, "Yes."
Zhao Rong thought for a moment: "Good grief."
Gu Yiwu slowly nodded.
Zhao Rong suddenly asked, "When did the former emperor pass away?"
Yunniang pondered for a moment and for some reason, sniffled. Her speech was still clear:
"It was exactly a month ago. That's when the late emperor passed away suddenly. The court fell into chaos since the late emperor was wise and beloved by us common folk, so there was widespread mourning among the people..."
Zhao Rong nodded lightly and listened for a while longer.
