As these words were uttered, everyone suddenly froze in place, momentarily unable to grasp the implications of Empress Dowager Yan Ping's words. A deathly silence ensued, with those kneeling, standing, or facing away each harboring different thoughts.
Old Master Wen Kang looked toward Empress Dowager Yan Ping in horror. He had been vigilant against every move of Empress Xiao and Zheng Congyuan, how could he have forgotten this old cunning figure?!
Hadn't this old cunning figure been feigning illness for a while? She had been quiet up till now, her mind filled with the late Emperor Jingzhi, mourning Emperor Jingzhi. Yet now, she stirred these troubled waters again.
"Impossible," Old Master Wen Kang immediately retorted as soon as Empress Dowager Yan Ping finished speaking. Surely nothing good could come from her words. The wills they had been injured to create were all forgeries, how could she possibly have a genuine will?
