Shang Ruyi let out a light sigh.
Beside her, Chu Ruoyan heard this sigh and thought she was worried, so she sneered and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, saying, "What, are you still worried that the disaster you hoped for hasn't appeared?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi glanced at her but said nothing.
After listening for a while, a few matters brought up had already been resolved. Following a momentary, yet exceptionally oppressive silence, the eunuch's sharp voice rang out once again—
"Is there anyone else who wants to make an address?"
This time, no one spoke immediately.
The oppressive feeling instantly spread from the Taiji Palace, filling this small side hall. Both Shang Ruyi and Chu Ruoyan instinctively raised their spirits. Chu Ruoyan even stood up directly, took a few steps towards the outside, and heard the eunuch ask again more clearly, "Ladies and Gentlemen, is there anything else to report?"
Still nothing.
