Chapter 23: Succession Ceremony (4)
Five impressive palaces make up the imperial city, designed to encircle the central Bai Cheng Palace.
Aside from Bai Cheng Palace, where the emperor lives, these are the grandest residences.
At the very top of the most vibrant, red-colored He Xing Palace, a man with untidy grey hair sat, taking a quiet tea break as he looked out the window.
How long had it been?
"Is the Night of Rest gone?"
At some point, the man broke the silence, addressing the magician standing respectfully behind him.
"Yes... It vanished in a single night."
The magician replied, lowering his head in confirmation.
"Apparently, no signs of people were found above the guest floors. It's weird because there are clear signs of a fight, but no blood."
