Chapter 295
Shen Shengsheng did not follow Xu Ming into the imperial palace.
Shengsheng’s bloodline was simply too unique.
The formation array set up within the palace was of no lower grade than the guardian arrays of sacred grounds or forbidden lands. Moreover, the palace was the very focal point of Wu Kingdom’s mountain-and-river fortune.
Most demons and spirits would be deemed enemies by default.
Xu Ming was worried that if Shengsheng took even a single step into the palace, she would be instantly eradicated by the formation.
When arriving at the palace in the past, there would always be maids conducting body searches and storing any storage pouches, to prevent sudden assassination attempts during an audience with the emperor.
However, this time, there was none of that.
There was no need to ask—it was clearly an intentional instruction from the Wu Emperor, meant to convey one thing: “I trust you completely, one hundred percent. Between us, there is no suspicion—only mutual candor!”
And to be fair, such an act did indeed earn goodwill.
