Chapter 777 - 558: Appeasement
Although it is late at night at this moment, in the depths of the Imperial Palace, the winds are stirring.
No one would have expected that at this time, the Emperor within Yongchang Hall would suddenly issue a decree, stopping court sessions for three days, ordering all officials to stay at home, and forbidding them to leave the Capital without permission. Moreover, at this moment, the Emperor summons all the Jinyi Guards. These two actions have made everyone smell the scent of an impending storm.
But no one can guess what exactly the reason is.
Only Prince Xin knows a little bit in his heart at this moment.
"Prince Xin, His Majesty has commanded you to enter Yongchang Hall to appear before him."
Golden Eyes Guard Wang Ning appears on the steps at this moment again. Her pale gold eyes look at Prince Xin with an expressionless face.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Prince Xin trembles all over, then responds before slowly rising from the ground.
He feels cold in his hands and feet, his body weak, as if his soul is about to drift away.
Looking at the brightly lit Yongchang Hall, Prince Xin’s expression fluctuates unpredictably. He feels that if he enters today, he most likely won’t come out. Perhaps he will be accused of patricide and rebellion, or he could be given a cup of poisoned wine and die instantly, or he might just vanish without a trace, with no sign of Prince Xin left in the world henceforth?
"Prince Xin, do not delay the hour," Golden Eyes Guard Wang Ning reminds with a hurried voice.
