”Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
”Esteemed Empress Dowager has lived for thousands of years!”
”Long live the empress! Long live the empress!”
A tsunami-like voice resounded from the Supreme Ocean Palace all the way to the True Sun Sect.
He saw Empress Dowager Hui Ren walking in the middle of the crowd, her hand resting on the arms of Emperor Zhou Cheng and Empress Xiang Wen. The empress dowager was dressed in a green satin robe, embroidered with large bunches of golden silk, lotus leaves, lilac flowers, and the pattern of her chest. Her long satin gown was draped over the ground, and her whole body was exuding an aura as heavy as Mount Tai.
Behind the three of them were the fourth concubine of the palace, the noble concubine Liang, Xu Xian, Feng Defei and Lian Shufei.
Lian Ruyue's gaze fell on Xu Xianyue. When she saw the incantation, her smiling face couldn't help but change color. No one else noticed the slight change, but they were unable to escape Lian Ruyue's Fiery Eyes of Truth.
The empress dowager sat down in the middle of the room and looked at the gathered emperors. A smile appeared on the empress dowager's face. She nodded and said,
”Everyone, rise.”
”Empress Dowager Xie!” With another wave of cheers, everyone took their seats.
”Let's begin.” At the emperor's command, the banquet officially began.
The palace maids and eunuchs entered in an orderly line. In front of the table, there were fifteen grades of food: meat, vegetables, seventh grade, fruits, eighth grade.
A cheerful and courteous voice came from the center of the hall. Everyone was dancing gracefully, and the atmosphere was filled with a cheerful and auspicious atmosphere.
At night, the night was just like a thick layer of ink. The moon in the sky was also swallowed up by the darkness. Only a faint layer of light was faintly discernible through the clouds. The entire Residence of Prime Minister was shrouded in darkness.
In Fuan Courtyard, the first wife was sitting on the edge of the bed. The maidservant propped up her feet, took off her shoes and boots, and prepared to rest on the bed.
Ah!
Suddenly, a sharp cry broke the silence of the dark night. The first wife was about to cover herself with the blanket when she suddenly heard such a shout. She was startled and hurriedly sat up.
Ah!
Ah!
At this time, the screams sounded out again. The sounds were getting closer and closer to Fuan Academy. Every sound was causing one's heart to tremble.
”What happened? ”Who is it?” The first wife was panicking as she got off the bed in a hurry to get dressed.
”Madam, please don't move. This servant will take a look outside.” Senior Servant Zhou remembered Eldest Miss' repeated warnings and quickly made Eldest Madam lie down.
”We've been robbed!” A thief! The first wife is in trouble, the master's study has been robbed! ”
At this moment, another shout came from outside. It was unknown who was the one that was shouting ”Madam”.
When the first wife heard this, she was shocked. A thief in the study? Lian Yan Qing's study room must have a lot of documents related to the imperial government's secrets. Since the thieves didn't steal them from other places, but they stole the study room, there must be some unspeakable secrets!
