Gu Rongzhi did not even look at Fang Chun, and did not plan to let her get up, she only smiled and looked at Ye Qiongjiang, ”Sister Qiong Fei is well-informed, to think that you would actually know of Star Palace. Are you here to pay a visit to Great Deity Official? ”
Ye Qiongjiang looked at the kneeling Fang Chun who was trembling non-stop behind him, and then smiled at Gu Rongzhi's cozy smile, as she felt an unapproachable aura from the bottom of her heart. Even though she already knew that the other party was the Seventh Prince of the Xin Country, her fiancé, and even more so knew that everything he had displayed was for her own reasons and intentions, she still could not sense her true intentions. His deep thoughts and shrewdness caused her to feel a little afraid.
Hearing him suddenly mention the prince, Ye Qiongjiang's heart was moved. She was a little curious and made guesses about this prince who was in dispute with the palace.
Only after Gu Rongzhi's figure disappeared within the forest did Fang Chun dare to stand up. She turned around and looked at Ye Qiongjiang with lingering fear, tightly grabbing onto Ye Qiongjiang's sleeve as she said with a trembling voice, ”Empress, that … That person … Is it really the Queen? ”
”What do you think?” Ye Qiongjiang did not answer, but asked a question, then walked past the suspension bridge, and continued walking up the mountain.
After passing the suspension bridge, they could already vaguely see the extremely wide area of buildings on the mountainside. The battle horns of each and every palace were flying, and the roof wasn't a traditional auspicious beast carved out of bluestone, but a circle made of pure copper, and inside it was a Three-legged Golden Crow.
From afar, the sunlight seemed to shine brightly. The Golden Crow clearly represented the light, but it gave off a mysterious and charming aura.
After a while, the two of them arrived at a small square. The square was in a semicircle shape. There were lines that seemed to follow a certain pattern carved into the ground, forming a magnificent pattern. Every single line gathered from the surroundings of the square towards the center.
In the middle of the square, there was a huge stone pillar. The lines that were carved on the field seemed to be living creatures that had crawled down from the stone pillar and covered the entire stone pillar.
At the top of the stone pillar, there was also a Three-legged Golden Crow that was made of pure copper.
The entire plaza was filled with a mysterious aura.
At the end of the semi-circular plaza, there was a tall stone gate. On the pillars on the left and right, there were carvings of strange looking plants and flowers, and in the middle, there were three big ancient words carved on the beams: ”Star Palace”.
Behind the stone door was a long flight of steps. There were a total of 640 steps. At the top of the steps was a magnificent palace. The entire building looked grand and imposing. It was like an ancient giant beast that was quietly lying in wait amidst the rolling hills and mountains …
Ye Qiongjiang brought Fang Chun and walked over, climbing a long flight of stone stairs. Finally, they arrived at the entrance of Star Palace's palace.
There were two children standing guard in front of the palace. When they saw that someone was coming, they stepped forward and asked, ”Who are you?”
”How dare you!” Ye Qiongjiang suddenly said coldly: ”You are merely two little daoists, and you dare to be disrespectful to me! Fang Chun, blast them away! ”
”Huh?” Fang Chun was stunned for a moment, but managed to react with a ”ah” sound. She couldn't help but give her own mistress a thumbs up in her heart. If someone else came here, they would have to be extremely respectful. Only their own Empress would dare to cause trouble!
The two daoists were also stunned. No one had ever dared to do such a thing before. One of them was even worse, actually crying out loud.
”Who's making a ruckus outside?”
Inside the palace, a calm voice that contained surprise and even some shock suddenly rang out.
”Congratulations your majesty, the person you are waiting for has finally arrived. Sun, moon, stars, quickly bring this noble person in. ”
Suddenly, another voice sounded. This voice was very special. At a single glance, one could tell that it was a man's voice. However, upon closer examination, it sounded like a woman's voice. If he were to listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to determine if it was a man or a woman.
The only difference was that the voice was beautiful and sonorous. It didn't cause any people to feel disgusted, but rather, it sounded like heavenly music to the ears.
When the two boys at the door heard this sound, they stopped crying. Wiping away their tears, they bowed inwards and pushed open the doors of the palace. They said in unison, ”Sun, moon, stars, please enter.”
From hearing these two voices, Ye Qiongjiang could roughly guess that the first one was the Da Xia Empire's Huang Dimohua, and the second one, was definitely the mysterious Great Deity Official.
We met Gu Rongzhi on the suspension bridge, we didn't think that we would meet the Emperor here, could it be that these two are here together?
She took a deep breath and walked inside.
