Chapter 677: Retreat to Advance (1)
Just as Song Jingchen had guessed, after the emperor had nightmares for a few days, he thought of Song Li in the Cold Palace.
Fortunately, Eunuch Li’s "slander" made him give up on the idea of bringing Song Li out of the Cold Palace.
The emperor got someone to set up a Buddhist hall in Yangxin Hall and secretly invited the masters of the Hidden Spirit Temple to the palace to recite sutras for a day. However, not only did this situation not improve, but it also became more serious as time passed.
From the initial unconscious killing to relying on blood to calm the anger in his heart every day.
Every day, bloody corpses would be carried out of the Yangxin Hall. In the past, the eunuchs would fight to the death to show their faces in front of their masters. Now, their expressions would change whenever the Yangxin Hall was mentioned.
Finally, after almost flogging a few ministers to death in the morning court, the emperor realized that something was wrong with him. However, most of the time, he could not control the hostility in his heart.
In order to prevent the reputation of being cruel from spreading, the emperor directly stopped court sessions and only got someone to send the memorials every day.
There was no need to worry about attracting the emperor’s attention. The civil and military officials heaved a sigh of relief.
