Wind Mirror Country Sea King's Tale of the Sacred Book Flag
Walking in the magnificent palace corridor, Su Yao couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The place was not only spacious, but also luxurious, with golden glazed tiles shining brightly underfoot, intricately carved beams and pillars, and a dazzling array of colors. Every few steps revealed a large garden or palace, winding corridors, and varied terrain, making it easy to get lost if one didn't have a guide; even after several months, one might still be wandering around this endless palace.
Compared with the Pingyang Wangfu, this imperial palace gives people a sense of grandeur that is not only luxurious but also solemn.
Ling'er walking behind was also secretly amazed by the grand scene of the imperial palace, but Nie Lang beside her had a heavy expression and lowered his head from the moment they entered the palace, not saying a word.
Xie Shaode sent someone to inform the superior in advance. He then personally took Su Yao and others to the emperor's bedroom, saying that the emperor was waiting for them there.
As they walked, Suo Yao and the other two unfamiliar faces immediately caught the attention of the people entering and leaving the palace. The person who could let the Minister of War lead the way was someone that everyone started to wonder about, especially the mysterious woman with a celestial aura.
"Who is that following the three of them after they left?" At this time, a palace maid who was cutting flowers in the flower bed nudged the palace maid next to her who was watering the flowers with her elbow.
"I don't know, but I heard that Lord Xie has been waiting outside the palace since early morning for someone very important." The maid being questioned looked up and glanced at the receding figures of Su Yao and others in the corridor.
"I know, I know." At this time a slightly plump palace maid stood up from behind them.
"Do you know?" The two exchanged skeptical glances.
"I heard it's to pick up the one who cured the strange illness of Prince Pingyang."
The palace ladies and eunuchs around them all sighed in unison.
"I've also heard that the divine doctor Hui Chun cured Pingyang Wang's illness in an instant, and everyone says that the divine doctor is so beautiful that even the four beauties of the country can't compare to him." A small eunuch spoke out everything he had heard.
"That's great, when the emperor wakes up, this palace..." A palace maid didn't finish speaking, her mouth was quickly covered by another palace maid with a white and plump hand.
"You're courting death by saying this out loud."
As soon as the words fell, a sense of dangerous tension spread between them, and those palace people hastily closed their mouths and dispersed, bowing their heads to continue with their work.
"Miss Su Yao, I've long heard of your great name. Today, I finally see you in person, and indeed, your reputation is not exaggerated." Xie Shao De said with an official tone, admiringly towards Su Yao who was behind him.
It's strange, he hasn't seen Su Yao's medical skills, how does he know she's awesome? Ling'er was puzzled, but soon figured out what was going on and gave the flattering official a disdainful look.
"Su Yu was just an ordinary little woman, Pingyang had kindness to me and didn't mind my humble birth so took me as a foster daughter. I will do my best to cure the emperor's illness, also to help the prince share his worries and difficulties."
The Prince of Pingyang taught her words, Su Yao said them out without missing a single word. She also wouldn't forget the Prince of Pingyang's special reminder to her: entering the deep palace is like entering the sea, disaster comes from the mouth, doing things and speaking must be done with careful consideration, even if she wasn't afraid of death, she couldn't bring unnecessary trouble to herself and others.
"Miss Yu's words are indeed correct, I will take good care of you, Miss. Once the Emperor's illness is cured, I will invite you and your friends to gather at my residence."
"Thank you for your kind words."
It's unknown how much longer it will take to reach the emperor's palace, and along the way, Xie Zhide has been chatting with Su Miao about nothing in particular, but every sentence is a flattering remark about her. This is no surprise, as Su Miao is the adopted daughter of the Princess of Pingyang, and if she can also cure the current emperor's illness, then the benefits of their relationship will be solidified, and Xie Zhide's prosperous days are just around the corner.
All of this was as clear to Xiang Yao as a mirror, but this time entering the palace was to fulfill her own promise, and there was also the golden pardon that would guarantee their safety. Once all of this was over, she would leave, and in the future, she would not have much more to do with these people.
However, at this time she was completely unaware that she had already been drawn into a shocking conspiracy.
