tomorrow.
It is the day of New Year celebration.
As usual, they had to go to the palace early in the morning to prepare for rehearsals.
I bathed and washed early in the morning, changed into heavy court robes, and together with the female prime minister Murong Yanran, finalized the list of participants.
I wanted to bring my junior brother along as well.
Unexpectedly, I didn't see him in Qin's house the whole day.
Even the junior sister is missing.
This is really strange.
According to the boy from the Li family, he hasn't seen his junior brother for quite some time.
I don't know where he went.
What can I do?
Maybe he's preparing a surprise?
With a lot of doubts in my mind, I returned home and started to deliver the speech I had written this time.
This year has been a turbulent time, and so many things have happened.
As a result, this New Year celebration has become particularly important and no mistakes are allowed.
And this is also the first time that I stand in the court openly and in that position. There is no room for error.
Everything went as planned, progressing in an orderly manner. Apart from the fact that my junior brother was not at home, there were no unexpected events.
suddenly.
The female prime minister Murong Yanran sent someone to deliver the news that His Majesty had caught a cold and could not see the wind, let alone see people.
In order not to delay the celebration, the venue was temporarily changed to the emperor's bedroom, the Pixiang Hall.
This is really strange.
Your Majesty, why did you suddenly become ill?
Since you are sick, why didn’t you give us a heads-up in advance?
Why change the venue when the ceremony is about to take place?
Could it be that he is seriously ill and has come out to calm people's hearts?
I was worried and found Lao Wei.
He was also confused.
Even the imperial doctors in the palace were kept in the dark.
But with Medicine King Sun Huayuan here, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
With a nervous heart, Lao Wei and I pretended to be fine, forced ourselves to be calm, and chatted and laughed with those officials.
finally.
The time has come.
Everyone entered the Hall of Fragrance and saw the situation in the main hall clearly.
His Majesty was sitting behind a thick gauze curtain and beaded curtain, and could not be seen clearly, but a blurry figure could be vaguely seen.
Maybe something happened to His Majesty?
Lao Wei and I looked at each other, and a guess arose in our minds.
As the ceremony began, the female prime minister Murong Yanran walked out from behind the curtain.
I took the opportunity to glance behind the curtain and vaguely saw His Majesty's figure.
Then the palace maid brought over a yellow silk imperial edict and presented it with both hands.
I unfolded the imperial edict and read in a resounding voice, "The edict says: The Great Heavenly God and the Earthly Goddess have bestowed upon us a decree to benefit the common people..."
Um?
What sound?
I was standing on the golden steps when I suddenly heard a strange sound.
I immediately pricked up my ears and listened carefully.
I know this script so well by heart that I can recite it word for word even if I rely on muscle memory.
"In the past, our Taizu Wu Huangdi received the mandate from Heaven and ruled the world."
My deep voice echoed in the hall, but the strange sound disappeared.
Could it be that I have been overworked these days and am experiencing auditory hallucinations?
I slowly moved the edict down a few inches and glanced at Old Wei out of the corner of my eye.
He lowered his head respectfully, as if listening to the imperial edict very seriously.
Could it be that I really heard it wrong?
"His literary virtues and military achievements were known throughout the world. But the late emperor, after toiling day and night, unfortunately passed away..."
"Jingning——"
My shoulders suddenly shook, and I felt as if I was struck by lightning.
There really is a sound!
I also noticed that Lao Wei also tilted his head slightly, as if searching for the source of the sound.
What is that sound?
Why is there such a sound in the palace?
Where does this sound come from?
Are assassins trying to disrupt the ceremony?
My mind is full of doubts.
…
Inside the tent.
Yan Jiaoran gritted her teeth and moved her body slightly back, suppressing the fierce and fiery feeling. She clenched her teeth and tried her best not to make any sound.
The pearls and jade on the dragon crown kept shaking and hit its forehead.
Only then did Yan Jiaoran realize that her movements were a bit too big.
She tried hard to keep her upper body stable, relying only on her slender waist to rise and fall gently.
On one side are the magnificent and solemn palaces and the majestic and dignified ministers.
On the other hand, the situation is extremely secretive.
Outside the curtain, the grand and magnificent coronation ceremony is being watched by all, but inside the curtain, in the dark, where no one can see, shameful things are happening that are difficult to talk about.
Yan Jiaoran's brows were tightly furrowed, her pretty face was filled with pain, but a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips.
She could feel that the chaotic aura in Qin Yuan's body was calming down.
As the dual cultivation progressed, his out-of-control breath was getting better. Although it was very subtle, the danger was being resolved bit by bit.
…
I finished reading the manuscript.
When he returned to the ministers, he saw that the female prime minister Murong Yanran had a strange posture, her shoulders were as taut as a bowstring, and she looked very nervous.
What happened in the tent?
I couldn't help but think of that weird voice again.
What's that sound?
"bye!"
With a lot of doubts in my heart, I said loudly.
"One kowtow, two kowtows, three kowtows..."
"Bow again! One kowtow, two kowtows, three kowtows."
"Three bows! One kowtow, two kowtows, three kowtows..."
The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.
But the strange noises became more and more frequent.
I even heard the sound of a phoenix.
