Chapter 1959 [Shang Xie] Entering the Palace at Night
"I only saw His Majesty from afar several years ago. When he was young and led the army to battle, the entire Divine Capital was captivated by him when he returned from the border wearing blood-stained iron armor."
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has ended.
It was just evening when the inn was filled with people who had just watched the excitement.
Xia Fuyi sat by the window and drank slowly, listening to the guests in the inn talking about the great Emperor Chiwei like a storyteller.
This was not the first time she had heard the legend about this emperor, but it was the time she listened most attentively.
The speaker's tone was excited, and the atmosphere in the inn was perfectly rendered by him. Even the wind blowing outside the door seemed to carry the fragrance of the flowers from that year.
"That was the season when the blazing flowers were in full bloom all over the city, their bright red petals covering the entire street leading into the city. The emperor rode on his horse, the blood still lingering on his silver armor, and behind him was an endless swarm of guards pressing into the city. That day, all the girls in Shenjing City came out, even the girls in the singing and dancing boats were flaunting and throwing handkerchiefs at the emperor. That was the first time I had the pleasure of seeing the emperor's face. I still remember what his majesty looked like. He was truly beautiful, especially his eyes; you never forget them. That day, all the girls in Shenjing City came out, even the girls in the singing and dancing boats were flaunting and throwing handkerchiefs at the emperor, but his majesty didn't get angry. He had the guards bring a large basket to catch all the handkerchiefs, and by the time we got to the palace gate, the basket was full."
Everyone in the inn was fascinated by the story, but the speaker couldn't help but sigh at the end.
"But I haven't seen His Majesty since then. He was wearing a crown at the ceremony today, so I couldn't see his face at all."
The man took a sip of tea and continued to sigh.
"I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that this Majesty is very different from the one I met before."
The light of the setting sun filled the Jindai River outside the window, and the pleasure boats began to sway leisurely on the water, and the sound of string music could be heard again.
Xia Fuyi held up the wine glass in the cool breeze, with the setting sun reflected in the glass. In the setting sun, she recalled the pair of eyes she had glanced at on Huawai Mountain today.
From a great distance away, there was a crown with dangling beads, and even she could only catch a glimpse of a vague color.
But it was just such a tiny corner, but it made her unable to calm down the whole day. She even followed the guard team and fell from a distance for a while after the ceremony. She didn't stop until she attracted the attention of the guards and almost alarmed Changsun Qingzhao.
She had a vague guess in her mind, but the idea was so shocking that she couldn't be sure until now.
The wind blew the willows outside the window and also blew the crystal wine in the glass. The setting sun spread ripples in her dark eyes. She came to her senses, but seemed to see those amber eyes in them again.
In any case, just based on the identity of the sect leader and regent, it is worth her entering the palace to investigate.
At least we need to know how the dignified Regent Changsun Qingzhao could become the leader of the Tianji Sect on Piaomiao Mountain thousands of miles away.
Knowing this, perhaps you can understand why he has been chasing Li Chi.
Xia Fuyi drank the glass of wine, then went out with his sword.
ยท
At night.
There are imperial guards outside the palace gate, and outside the palace gate is a wide isolation area. The closest place outside the open space is a quiet area where people live.
At this moment, the moon was just at its zenith, and the sound of stringed instruments from the Jindai River was only a very faint echo when it reached this side.
