Chapter 54: Chapter 54: In My Great Xia Country, the Nation Prospers and the People Live in Peace

In the inner chamber, the beams were made of fragrant sandalwood, lamps made from crystal jade, and curtains made from emerald pearls. The smoke from the Purple Gold Incense Burner rose slowly, and the table was filled with delicious food, but not a single bite had been eaten.

He seemed to be in his fifties, which should have been his prime, but his hair was graying at the temples, wrinkles covered his face, and his body appeared frail. Only his eyes appeared bright and sharp.

Two ministers stood beside the bed, and only those who either held high positions or were close to the Emperor would have been allowed to stand in the Emperor's private residence.
