Chapter 22: The Ruler is Confused (2319)

  The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing amidst the fragrant flowers.

  Jiuding Mountain is located due east of the Night Country Imperial Palace, and legend has it that Jiuding Mountain is where the dragon vein of the Night Country imperial family lies. The mausoleum of the founding emperor of Night Country was built on top of the dragon vein, protecting the prosperity of Night Country for generations to come, with favorable winds and rains.

  The golden dragon chair facing the upper part of the Mingxuan Hall is exactly opposite the highest peak of Jiuding Mountain, which is also the highest palace in the Night Country Palace. Jiuding Mountain gathers nine peaks together, one after another, each one higher than the previous one by a head, and the highest peak has snow all year round, extremely cold.

  After the death of each emperor of the Night Kingdom, their body was sent to the top of Jiuding Mountain and buried under ice and snow. Their appearance has been preserved intact to this day, without any damage.

  The secret of the Night Country Imperial Mausoleum is not a secret at all in the four countries.

  Everyone wants to climb the last peak of Jiu Ding Shan, but no one has ever succeeded. The bodies buried under Jiu Ding Shan are countless.

  When the sky was slightly bright, a headless and tailless team had already marched out of the imperial city, advancing towards Jiuding Mountain.

  "Cough cough."

  Xuan Yuan Si Cheng was taken aback, turned his head to see a black robe with rolled edges, Night Dust, and swallowed hard, unable to deny Nan Rong Mo Chen's words, "I didn't think Brother would also have a silly time, when will he realize that in his heart, her figure has already been planted."

  "Even you can see it, I believe he will soon accept this fact."

  "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who's noticed."

  "Si Che, Mo Chen, shall we have a match with Dusty today?" Situ Luo Lan rode his horse to the side of the two, his dark green long gown making his figure appear even taller, his jade-like face slightly pale, the smile in his eyes revealing a hint of desolation.

  He thought that the one he couldn't let go of was always Ye Juechen.

  In the end, I realized that the one person I couldn't let go of was him.

  That day, when Dust ordered the War King's mansion to ban Xue Yilan, he should have known that if Dust didn't care about his queen, how could he make such a decision.

  Jiao Mei Yan Li's snow lotus in the War King's mansion was quietly blooming in Ye Jue Chen's life, but it had never bloomed in Ye Jue Chen's heart.

  Only her pure and lovely smile can bloom into the most beautiful flower in his heart.

  "Alright, but we can't let Brother Biao steal all the limelight." Xuan Yuan Si Cheng flipped onto his horse, looking spirited and heroic.

  "Be careful, Luolan, Si Cheng is serious."

  "In the morning, don't think that just because you're my senior brother in the dust, I won't show mercy to you either." Lowering his eyelids, when he raised his head again, it was still the usual calm and collected Situ Luolan.

  "When it comes to horse racing, there's no room for sentiment." Xiao Cang and the two countries were still staring at each other with a fierce gaze on the side, Xuan Yuan Si Cheng wouldn't be foolish enough to believe that they had come to the hunting grounds just to watch.

  Most of them are under the guise of congratulating Wang Da's wedding, and they intend to take advantage of the seven-day hunting period to find the Night Country Dragon Vein at the top of Jiuding Mountain.

  "With a loud command, three handsome men with different styles galloped their horses and raised a cloud of dust."

  On the other hand, all participants in the hunt unfolded a fierce first competition.

  Suddenly, the drumbeat grew louder, the cheering voices, and the neighing of horses merged into a symphony, deafening and stirring.

  She slept till noon and had a simple lunch. Then, she pulled him out of the Wang Fu to take in the beautiful scenery. They strolled around everywhere.

  Since she had made up her mind to leave the War King's Manor, she could no longer allow herself to rely on Ye Juechen. To survive, she needed silver coins.

  Yi Xinxian had already thought it through. First, she would familiarize herself with the imperial city, then use her dowry from the Southern Kingdom to buy a shop and see if she could earn her first pot of gold in this strange world.

  Xue Qi and Gu Shuang were both maids she brought from the southern country, so they were naturally trustworthy. As for buying a house, Yixin also didn't mention it to Liang Chen Mei Jing.

  After all, they were the maids raised by Ye Juechen. Whether or not they had ulterior motives was beside the point; bringing them along to familiarize themselves with the imperial city was the most sensible decision.

  In the future, if there is a chance, I will make the beautiful scenery and the four arts of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting my own.
