Chương 39: Chapter 34: The Path of the Grand Void, Li Qingzhou

Before long, the Forbidden Palace surrounded by high walls to the north of the Imperial City.

Thousands of Black Armor Guards stood watch around the walls, and atop the walls roamed the Forbidden Army clad in red armor, longbows in hand.

Inside, the palace was resplendent with gold and jade, though not tall, strikingly luxurious.

Golden wood was used for columns; the beams and rafters were carved and painted, each brick and tile crystal clear.

The smoothly rounded ground paved with white jade was covered with a layer of intertwined gold and red carpets, the ultimate in sumptuous splendor.

"Has the memorial from Xijiang Prefecture arrived?"

Inside a palace hall, Emperor Wei hunched over to flip through the memorials and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, someone has already been sent to inquire with the Left Minister."

Liu Gao spoke rapidly and clearly, daring not to make a single mistake.

"The memorial is with Xie Jing?" Emperor Wei frowned.
