Imperial Palace of Compassion and Tranquility
The Queen Mother looked at the senior palace maid kneeling in front of her with a sharp look:
"Are you saying that the late emperor left behind an illegitimate child, and that the eldest princess's military command of 30,000 troops is in his possession?"
"Yes, the people below found it, but they haven't found out who it is yet."
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and slapped the table:
"What an old fellow! He didn't forget to cause trouble for me before leaving. He relied on the emperor's deep affection for his sister and used the princess to keep these troops."

The Queen Mother sat back in her chair, a hint of worry in her eyes. She knew very well that if the matter of the military token was not handled properly, it would bring huge hidden dangers to the court.
