However, after that inner guard exchanged a few brief words with the gate guards, the carriage started up again and continued driving into the Imperial Palace.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Ning felt a faint trace of surprise in his heart.
Then he understood.
He couldn't help but give a slight, mocking smile.
At this moment, the wheels rumbled as they passed through the palace gate.
Once inside the gate, it was no longer far from the Taiji Hall.
Jiang Ning could not be bothered to keep resting with his eyes closed.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced out the window; the distant sky was dark cyan, palace walls reared up like a Black Dragon lying in wait, the sky sliced into blocks by those walls.
The carriage passed through layer upon layer of halls, and by the time it reached the plaza before the Taiji Hall, the eastern horizon was already tinged with the faint white of dawn.
"King Luoshui arrives!"
