Li Huowang, invisible, stood silently atop a tree canopy, quietly observing the endless imperial procession in the distance. Eunuchs, Bodyguards, Palace Maids—thousands of people formed a long line that stretched out without a visible beginning or end.
According to the information provided by Ji Lin, his targets, the Empress Dowager and the Princess, were definitely within the magnificent procession.
However, Li Huowang also understood that now was not a good time to make a move. This was especially true since he didn't know which luxurious carriage the two were in, nor how many guards were lying in wait within the crowd.
If he raised the alarm, they would both retreat into the depths of the palace. If that happened, making another move would be incredibly difficult.
