Golden light fell from the treetops, and golden threads danced all over the ground.
Today is the first day of July, the Emperor's fortieth birthday. Although the banquet doesn't begin until the evening, the entire city of Jinling is already immersed in a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Inside the imperial city, every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and inside the palace, gongs and drums blared, with singing and dancing filling the air. Early in the morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites began to receive the distinguished guests who had come from afar.
As an important official and pillar of the court, Murong Qingyu ordered the five daughters to get ready early in the morning, and in the evening he asked Murong Qingyun to personally escort them into the palace.
Today is the day when the five daughters of the Marshal's Mansion will make their appearance. It is the first step for him to officially sell his hand to the throne. Murong Qingyu's face is flushed, as if he has already seen the throne waving to him.
Early in the morning, Murong Yan came to visit Murong Xiao's boudoir.
It has been a while since they came to this desolate Jiuzhou Continent. When they first came here, Murong Xiao had always been very nice to her, just like how he treated her in modern times.
But ever since that day when Murong Xiao woke up from her coma, she had changed a lot. If it weren't for the fact that she often gave her a look that was different from others, Murong Yan felt that in Murong Xiao's heart, she was almost no different from Murong Meng and the others.
It was like the Grand Marshal was going to push them out of the mansion tonight. Murong Xiao should be very clear about what this meant, but she would never take the initiative to go to Yanyu Pavilion to find her, talk to her, and discuss a way out.
Ever since she met Murong Qingyun, she seemed to be completely focused on him and had completely forgotten about her good friend.
Murong Yan couldn't help but wonder if Murong Xiao had already seen through her betrayal before she traveled through time. But after thinking about it, if she really had seen through her betrayal, given her personality, she would never have risked her life to protect him during that "daughter selection" event.
So in the end, Murong Yan could only blame Murong Xiao's current unkind behavior on: having the opposite sex but no humanity.
When Murong Yan thought of Murong Qingyun, her heart felt as if it had been burned by an iron.
She didn't understand why Murong Xiao was so much more dazzling than her wherever she went. She and Murong Xiao were both orphans, both agents, and they traveled through time together.
Although they were friends in the orphanage before, Murong Xiao was the best friend in the eyes of all the orphans, while she was ostracized by those orphans.
Later, she was spotted by the organization and thought that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to surpass Murong Xiao in strength. She trained herself very hard, but her understanding was always not as high as Murong Xiao's.
The organization took a fancy to Murong Xiao and trained her to be the chief agent, but she could only become her partner, active behind the scenes and serving as her foil.
She finally fell in love with a man, and after loving him for a long time, she found out that this man had always had a crush on Murong Xiao.
Finally, she plotted to frame Murong Xiao, thinking that if she died, the man would give up and fall in love with her. However, after the man saw through her scheme, he shot her in the heart, causing her and Murong Xiao to fall off a cliff and end up here.
She thought that she and Murong Xiao could start a new life after traveling through time, but fate played a trick on them and they became assassins again. And Murong Xiao, once again got ahead of her and not only hooked up with the young master of this organization, but what made her most depressed was that
