The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 124: Chapter 40 Change of Mindset Chapter 124: Chapter 40 Change of Mindset Taichen Palace
Evening was approaching by the time Yin Hai brought Bai Yi to the palace, and the sky had already darkened.

However, due to the presence of electric lights, Taichen Palace was still brightly lit, giving Bai Yi a sense of déjà vu as if entering a scene from a TV drama.

During the previous commendation ceremony, Bai Yi did not come here, so strictly speaking, this was her first time meeting the Emperor in person.

Yin Hai seemed very anxious and directly led Bai Yi to the front of the Taichen Palace, entering with her.

The place was not as Bai Yi had imagined it to be—a vast hall for morning assemblies. The hall was only about a hundred or so square meters, certainly no more than two hundred.

Eight thick red-lacquered wooden pillars matched with the upper floor’s exquisite mortise and tenon joints were supporting the small palace, leaving a clearing in the middle that could accommodate hundreds of people.

However, at this time, there were only a handful of people standing in the open palace.

Apart from General Huo, whom Bai Yi had met before, the rest were officials who governed over the economics and population of Zhuchen and military commanders, all of whom Yin Hai had introduced during the journey. They were undoubtedly the upper echelons of Zhuchen.

The Zhuchen Emperor, who often appeared in portraits, was now sitting on an elevated bench above, and upon seeing Bai Yi’s arrival, he introduced her:
“Minister Yin has arrived. Come, let me introduce to everyone, this is Miss Bai.”

Zhu Gang managed to muster a faint smile, but he wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries and quickly got down to business.

“General Huo, please repeat your report to everyone once more.”

General Huo took a step forward, nodded in agreement, and recounted:
“Yesterday, my son Huo Lan was ordered to lead a small Transcendent team comprised of folks with titles like ‘Farmer’ and ‘Butcher’ to infiltrate the Sun Federation by bypassing their expeditionary campgrounds.
