Chapter 80: Emperor VS Shou Zhe! Narrowly Escaping Death
---
Inside the Imperial Palace, at the Western Garden Lake.
The lake is nearly circular in shape, with a vast surface spanning an average diameter of a hundred miles. From a distance, it appears as a boundless expanse of misty waves.
It is like a bright pearl embedded within Guilong City, yet enclosed by the massive palace walls, becoming Emperor Longchang's private "pond."
Within the palace, there are both lakes and mountains, showcasing its grand scale.
The water element spiritual energy within the Western Garden Lake is extremely abundant, gathering to form a visible spiritual mist. When the wind blows, it creates floating veils of mist over the lake, resembling a celestial lake that has descended to the mortal world.
Along the lakeside are clusters of waterside pavilions, grand and majestic, fully displaying the imperial family's style.
Such a vast complex is named "Lakeside Cottage," indicating that Emperor Longchang's taste is not particularly refined.
