In an instant, the fragrance of flowers permeated the air, a stunningly beautiful scene unfolded before my eyes.
Then...
Chen Mo woke up.
Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and looked around blankly.
"Where am I?"
At the moment, he was lying on a bed carved with phoenix and dragon patterns, surrounded by golden silk curtains that hung down.
By the bed, the incense in the burner was not yet finished, with wisps of blue smoke rising, spreading a faint fragrance throughout the bedroom.
It seemed like...
the Empress’s bedchamber?!
Chen Mo regained his senses and recalled what happened the previous night.
He first left the Lin Residence, encountered a strange black cat, and realizing he was no match, used the Communication Jade to summon Xu Qingyi for help, and then lost consciousness completely.
"It seems Director Xu saved me."
"But why did she bring me to the palace... wait, did I stay overnight at the Frozen Sky Palace? Then where did the Empress sleep if I slept here?"
Chen Mo was somewhat astonished.
He vaguely remembered last night’s dream, which felt incredibly real.
In a haze, that delicate and fair dream scenery, as if it was still before his eyes.
He sat up, ready to get off the bed, his palm supporting him on the bed felt slightly damp.
Lifting his palm and smelling it, although the burnt incense covered it, he could still smell a faint scent of osmanthus.
?!
Chen Mo was stunned.
Could it be... it wasn’t a dream?!
...
Inside the Frozen Sky Palace, the grand hall.
Yu Youhan sat on the Phoenix Throne, with Ye Zi’e in a purple dress reporting affairs.
"Fire Department Thousand Households Bai Lingchuan has recently been reclusive, not even attending the high council meetings, but subordinates found out, he seems to be secretly meeting with people from the Witch Sect..."
"Chief Disciple Ling Ningzhi of Tianshu Pavilion has recently returned to the capital..."
"In the Donghua Region, Radiant Light Soaring to the Sky has risen above Cangyun Mountain, seems a Secret Realm has appeared, disciples of the Three Saints and Eight Sects are all making moves..."
As a subordinate, Ye Zi’e must report all information she learned in detail to the Empress.
As for which intelligence might be useful, the Empress would discern herself.
Just then, footsteps sounded.
?!
Ye Zi’e looked up, and immediately froze, eyes wide with shock and confusion.
She saw Chen Mo walking out from inside the grand hall, yawning lazily, looking sleepy.
"Empress..."
"Awake?"
Yu Youhan said indifferently: "Go to the cleansing room and wash up first, then wait for me in the dining hall after you’re done."
Chen Mo bowed: "At your command... Ah? Households Commander Ye is also here?"
"..."
I shouldn’t be here, I should be at the bottom of a prison...
Ye Zi’e bowed her head, her face pale, sweat soaking through her clothes.
