Chapter 1942: Chapter 1880: The Storm Approaches

The rebellions Wufu knows about are all grand and spectacular, at least with armies at the city gates, besieging the palace makes sense.

But now you’re telling her, someone wants to rebel using firecrackers?

Are you kidding her?

But Ah Jiu stared at her: "The sacrifice, at Imperial Jue Temple."

Wufu was taken aback, so what?

"You say someone is using this sacrifice to do something?"

Ah Jiu said solemnly: "If it were before, I probably wouldn’t have thought of it, but it’s a bit too coincidental!"

One coincidence is a coincidence, but two or three?

"Come!"

Wufu held his hand: "You want to get involved in this?" Didn’t you say to ignore it and let it be?

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated first." Ah Jiu said: "Wufu, this sacrifice, not only will the Son of Heaven attend, but the Imperial Family will also participate, and even the common people will attend. Once something happens, many people will be implicated."

Wufu let go of his hand.

"You rest first, don’t wait for me, I need to make some arrangements, let them carefully investigate if there’s anything fishy." Ah Jiu squeezed her hand, briskly walked out of the East Side Room, and headed to the study.

Tomorrow is the sacrifice, time is pressing.

...

Night, long and lingering.

In the palace, at Kunning Palace, Empress Song stood sleepless by the window, looking at the ink-black night sky outside, as if a storm was coming, her eyes shining brightly.

A figure, like a ghost, silently crossed the palace walls and landed inside Kunning Palace.

The Inner Attendant guarding in front of the palace felt his vision blur, rubbed his eyes, and asked another, "Did you see a shadow just now?"

That Inner Attendant shrank his neck, blew some hot air into his hands, and said, "You must be seeing things, this ghostly weather is so cold, even ghosts wouldn’t come."

The questioning Inner Attendant tilted his head, no longer asking, indeed, the empress has been confined for these many days, without a hint of release, who would look for her?

"Huaner."

Empress Song trembled all over, turned around swiftly, and saw Lu Shenxing dressed in black. She couldn’t help but rush over, lowering her voice and said sternly: "What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell Ah Cai to tell you not to come?"

"I couldn’t rest easy without you!" Lu Shenxing looked at her face and said: "You’ve lost so much weight!"

Not only thinner, her complexion was extremely haggard, her cheeks sunken, she had suffered.

"I can still endure." Empress Song said solemnly: "But you must leave quickly, if someone finds out, all our preparations will come to naught."

Saying this, she excitedly looked at Lu Shenxing: "But everything is ready without the slightest error?"

Lu Shenxing swallowed, nodded: "Rest assured."

"That’s good, that’s good." Empress Song clasped her hands, pacing back and forth in the hall.

"Huaner." Lu Shenxing slipped an iron token into her hand.

"This!" Empress Song was a bit confused.

"Tomorrow’s event, success or failure is unknown, this is the last group I left behind, if... you use it, at least ensure you leave safely, go into hiding." Lu Shenxing held her shoulders with both hands, whispering a name.

Empress Song felt a chill in her heart: "I don’t want it, nor do I allow you to say these things, only success is permitted, not failure!"

"Huaner, there is a word called ’change’ in this world, I will do my utmost, but I must leave you a way out!" Lu Shenxing looked into her eyes and said: "There is nothing more important than you all."

Empress Song felt her nose tingle, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said: "We will be fine, definitely will be, by then, no one will separate us."

Lu Shenxing closed his eyes without speaking, only took a couple of deep breaths, letting her scent imprint on his heart.
