Chapter 343 : Reclaiming The Twin Heirs (1)
Thanks to, allegedly, the combined efforts of the remaining eight palaces, the insurrection at Wuyang Palace was quelled, and its flames of rebellion extinguished.
Liu Wenyuan was discovered lifeless within the confines of Wuyang Palace, his body ravaged by a rapid, mysterious decay that rendered identification almost impossible.
Xie Jianzhi, the treacherous prince, Liu Yichen, the former Wuyang Palace Master, and their remaining accomplices were duly apprehended and incarcerated within the depths of the Golden Dragon Palace’s dungeon, their reign of terror brought to an abrupt end.
Concurrent with his declaration to ascend the Dragon Throne, Xie Jianshen, accompanied by his two infant nephews, their devoted wet nurses, and a retinue of maidservants from Fuxi Palace --including Mingyu -- made their way to the Golden Dragon Palace.
As the palace embraced its new sovereign, a palpable buzz of renewed activity filled the once-desolate chambers. Eunuchs scurried about, diligently engaging in the task of recruiting and training a new generation of palace attendants. The very air crackled with anticipation for the impending ascension ceremony.
When the first rays of dawn kissed the horizon, Xie Jianshen ventured into the palace gardens, carrying his precious charges in his arms.
The gentle morning sun bathed the infants in its warm embrace, casting a golden glow upon their rosy cheeks and innocent slumber.
With utmost care, Xie Jianshen placed them upon a soft, silken blanket, allowing them to bask in the sun’s comforting warmth.
