Chapter 776 - 557 Emperor
The Imperial Palace in the three hundred mile capital.
This place was where the Emperor’s Aura was most concentrated, and the Power of Incense and Belief was the thickest.
However, at this time before dawn,
the Crown Prince, who had been escorted into the Imperial Palace by two teams of Imperial Army while riding on the Imperial Road, was now tense all over, kneeling in front of a luxuriously grand hall. He raised his head slightly to look, but saw nothing; only layer upon layer of White Jade steps.
The number of those steps was so many that he simply couldn’t count them.
Even as Prince Xin, he could only stop here, unable to advance any further.
Because the end of these steps led to the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, Yongchang Hall, and anyone who approached Yongchang Hall without the Emperor’s permission would be seen as a rebel. At the lightest, they would be captured and imprisoned immediately, and at the heaviest, executed on the spot, even if the Crown Prince was still a prince.
"Prince Xin, why have you entered the capital without the Emperor’s edict?"
At some unknown moment, a woman suddenly appeared at the end of the steps. She was a female official, with delicate features and bright, spirited eyes that faintly gleamed with a golden hue, resembling a Dragon Girl serving the True Dragon, with a bit of dragon aura clinging to her, making one’s heart tremble.
"It’s the Golden Eyes Guard..." Prince Xin felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that his father despised eunuchs, so he personally trained a group of women, named the Golden Eyes Guard, responsible for daily affairs and issuing administrative orders. Although their rank was not high, they represented the Emperor, and everyone was highly respectful upon seeing the Golden Eyes Guard.
