Chapter 303 : The End Of A Reign (4)
"Your Majesty...!!!"
Sorrowful wails filled the mausoleum as the palace masters, dressed in their finest mourning attire, paid their last respects to their fallen emperor. They knelt before his ice coffin, their heads bowed in grief. Their tears fell like raindrops on the polished marble floor, mingling with the fragrant smoke of incense.
All of the palace masters were present, save for Liu Yichen, who had escaped from the dungeon during the carnage. Whether he was alive or dead was unknown at the moment, but his absence was a stark reminder of the treachery that had led to the emperor’s demise.
The sudden attack was clearly orchestrated by demons, and Liu Yichen’s omega son Liu Wenyuan, who had faked his own death, was known to be in league with the First Demon King.
Xie Jianshen arrived at the mausoleum with his husband, Jiang Rufeng the Shuiran Palace Master. His face was pale and drawn, and his eyes were red from grief. Although he did not shed any tears, his sorrow was evident in every line of his face and every step of his gait.
Due to his pregnancy, Xie Jianyu had to travel using a cloud carriage. He thus arrived much later than the others.
Zhang Fengxi made a point to wait for his wife at the entrance gate to intercept him in time.
As he expected, Xie Jianyu burst through the carriage door as soon as he arrived. If Zhang Fengxi was not there to stop him, he might just jump down from the carriage without waiting for the ladder to be lowered.
His pale face was stricken with grief, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying. Zhang Fengxi’s heart ached at the sight of his wife in such pain.
