Outside Yangxin Hall.
All the civil and military ministers of Northern Zhou who were present in the Divine Capital have been waiting here for many days.
Since the sudden tragic news of Feng Jiwu three days ago, the Northern Zhou court has been in a state of fear and apprehension, with many harboring the premonition that after years of peace, Northern Zhou is about to experience turmoil once again.
Since Feng Jiwu did not leave behind a prince, many have set their sights on Feng Qiwu, who has been living in seclusion at the Mountain River Academy.
Although there has been no overt contact, covert probing has already begun.
And now, another test or perhaps a different plot has been set in motion.
Among the waiting ministers, suddenly several rushed toward Yangxin Hall, shouting, "Your Majesty, we request an audience with Your Majesty!"
The guards surrounding Yangxin Hall naturally couldn't allow them entry, but to forcefully stop them might cause harm.
