Bab 279: Trust Rewarded

Xing and the Emperor reached the Hailu Town before the end of the day without even stopping for water in the way. The entire town was buzzing with activities of the Zhong army in their streets and a curfew was enacted to ensure the safety of the Emperor and the Empress arriving there.

Xing walked straight through passing through the security into the Inn where they were keeping the body of 'Seiren'. The Emperor tried to stop her, Bai Li tried to stop her but she didn't listen.

"Your Highness! Please consider....", the guard by the foot tried to stop her but she walked in larger strides into the room...

"You bitch! With what face are you here?", Huojin who was weeping sitting beside the body lunged towards her and she moved aside and at the same time, put a shield around the room to not let the noises from leaking out.
