Chapter 23 The Attempted Murder in Ganli Palace
"Ganli Palace is where Empress Dowager Ye lives alone, so the side halls have not been opened for many years." Nijin said while watching the young maids cleaning the elegant room covered with dust, "The only place people can live in is this Wangxing Pavilion, as County Princess Duanrou comes here once in a while. Your Grace, it's just for one night."
