Chapter 999: Sky Mending Spring
The Nanjiang Royal Court was split into the inner city and outer city. The outer city was where the ordinary citizens lived, whereas the inner city was where the royal family and important officials lived. The Sky Mending Spring was located inside the Sky Mending Palace, so of course it was inside the inner city.
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou wasted no time. They ran straight for the inner city after entering the Nanjiang Royal Court.
The closer they got to the inner city, the greater the number of patrols, and the better the condition of the buildings. But although there were a lot of guards inside the inner city, most of them were not on high alert. In fact, they were less alert than the soldiers watching the outer city. It was why Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou made it to the royal palace without any issue.
Before they embarked on their journey, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou had carefully studied a map of the Nanjiang Royal Court provded by Fei Xue herself. Therefore, they were familiar with the layout of the area like the back of their hand. It wasn’t long before they arrived at the Sky Mending Palace.
The Sky Mending Palace was located on the right side of the main palace, the Peaceful Nanjiang Palace. It was also second only to the Peaceful Nanjiang Palace in terms of shape and size. Together with the Treasure Hoarding Palace to the left, they were known as the Three Palaces of Nanjiang. It showed just how much the Nanjiang Royal Court valued the Sky Mending Spring.
Before the fall of the Nanjiang Royal Court, the entire Sky Mending Palace was a heavily guarded forbidden zone. No one was allowed to enter without the express permission of the King of Nanjiang.
Even now after the Nanjiang Royal Court had fallen, the Sky Mending Palace was still heavily guarded. It was just that the troops now carried the flag of Chu. It showed just how valuable the Sky Mending Spring was.
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou did not hurry into the palace. Instead, they hid at the perimeter and observed the guards for a very long time. Once they had figured out when the relief replaced the current batch of guards, they waited until midnight before exploiting the loophole to slip into the Sky Mending Palace. No one noticed a thing.
“Is this the Sky Mending Spring?”
