Upon seeing this, Empress Dowager Li sneered and began to question him.
With Huan Shideng's fall, Deputy Wang Min and Minister of the Ministry of Rites Meng Du, the two masterminds of the Huan faction, switched their allegiance to Emperor Xiaochang. Consequently, Emperor Xiaochang found himself in a dilemma similar to the one she had just faced. He had effectively supplanted her, becoming the new center of power—akin to the previous "Empress Dowager's Faction"—and would now directly confront the pressure from the Xu Royal Family. However, his situation was different from hers. The Relocation of Graves was crucial for Emperor Xiaochang's Dragon Body; his Dragon Body would continue to deteriorate each day the graves remained unmoved.

Emperor Xiaochang frowned, uncertain how to respond to Empress Dowager Li's pointed questions.
His face showed hesitation.
