章節 314: Chapter 42 Empress in Crisis, Shenluo Shall Fall (Thanks to the generous donation from Cleaning Monk from Blast Sky Gang!)

Imperial Palace of the Xia.

In the spacious imperial square, statues of auspicious beasts stood tall, with upright Imperial Guards lining both sides of the imperial path, giving the entire avenue an aura of solemnity and majesty.

In the center of the square, a grand and spectacular palace towered. The palace roof, made of glazed tiles, shimmered with dazzling light under the sunshine, creating a picturesque scene with the flying-eaves stone railings—exuding an air of ancient grace and elegance.

At the palace gate, a pair of lifelike stone lions harmoniously echoed the elaborate doorway. Above the door hung two jade carved dragons, coiling in an intertwined posture around either side of the folding door.

Inside the main hall, all the civil and martial ministers still held their breath, daring not to be negligent.

It should be known that the Xia had not held a morning meeting in a long while.

This was the first morning meeting held by the Imperial Court in over a year.
