Chapter 316 - 316 196 The Most Tragic Emperor in History
?Chapter 316: Chapter 196: The Most Tragic Emperor in History Chapter 316: Chapter 196: The Most Tragic Emperor in History That night, within the heavily guarded Great Zhou Imperial Palace, two persons in black, carrying a sack between them, swaggered down the palace path, their footsteps in unison, striking the ground with force.
By some coincidence, the Imperial Inner Guards on duty that day were the very same ones who had encountered Thirteenth Lady Du and her party.
“Boss, are these men from His Highness Prince Mu again?” A Rookie Guard knelt by the side of the road, waiting until the figures had walked off into the distance before timidly glancing up at his superior.
The guard leader, keeping his head held high while watching the retreating figures, patted his chest with a lingering fear, “Who else would be so bold if not the Secret Guards from His Highness Prince Mu’s retinue? To break into the palace at dead of night, moving as if on level ground and looking down on the world as if there’s nothing to fear?”
The Rookie Guard, upon hearing this, nodded enthusiastically, like a pecking chick, “Uh-huh, uh-huh, I’ve served as an Imperial Inner Guard for more than half a year, and I’ve never seen any officials more formidable or imposing than them. Boss, the last time the Secret Guard Lord visited, didn’t the Emperor almost flip the tables in Qiankun Hall? This time…”
The guard leader, with a hint of worry, glanced toward Qiankun Hall, muttering to himself, “Lately, His Highness Prince Mu’s visits to the Emperor have been quite frequent. If this keeps up, Qiankun Hall might really…”
He dared not finish the sentence that would suggest the Emperor truly might flip out…
…
Within the resplendent Qiankun Hall, Emperor Zhoulin abruptly put down the memorial he was holding and turned to the uninvited guests.
Only after confirming through the face-covering cloth that the two were neither Thirteenth Lady Du nor the old man from the Mo Family did Emperor Zhoulin manage to feign composure and take a secret breath of relief.
He was genuinely afraid of his wife’s elder sister. His guilt was one part of it, and fear constituted another part.
