Chapter 63 – Weiyang Palace
Luo Wo frowned. After thinking for a moment, he leaned close to Qin Yefeng’s ear and replied in a low voice,
“Ever since a consort disappeared from the imperial palace for no reason, the emperor seems to have developed a taste for killing. Whenever someone brings it up, he orders the execution of eunuchs and palace maids who make even the slightest mistake in front of him. It wasn’t like this before…”
After finishing, Luo Wo hurriedly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Weiyang Palace.
Inside the grand hall, a group of young maidens wearing golden chest wraps and red silk dance skirts performed exotic dances in the center.
Amber wine, jade cups, golden goblets, emerald plates—food like paintings, wine like flowing springs. The soft hum of the guqin and the chime of bells filled the air as the emperor and his ministers drank merrily.
The hall was steeped in decadence. From time to time, the coquettish laughter of serving girls echoed between the seats. Yet among all present, only two people remained clear-headed, unaffected by the indulgent scene.
One was Qin Yefeng. The other was Xiong Yu.
Xiong Yu, tall and powerfully built, sat boldly beside Qin Yefeng in the center of the hall.
Outside the hall, Luo Wo watched the indulgent scene with hawk-like eyes, his entire demeanor cold and intimidating.
“Such lively singing and dancing—how can our two envoys be without female companions? Quickly, summon the eldest princess and the third princess to attend them,” the emperor ordered a eunuch beside him.
