The distance between Imperial Kitchen and the main hall was almost the same as the distance between The General's manor to the Palace's gate. They had to circle around the servant's courtyards and The Emperor's main chamber before they could arrive at the middle lawn that connected to the back of the main hall.
Along the way, Ouyang Xueqing saw a lot of familiar faces.
They were the people that she used to see inside the Royal Palace, servants, guards, knights, gardeners, maids, so on and so on. The more she saw, the more her heart became numb.
Furball squeezed her hand tight. "It's okay…" he whispered in a low voice even though he knew that they couldn't hear.
The Royal Palace was supposed to be lively with people scurrying around, yet at this time, it was deadly silent with only all of these deranged creatures around.
Ouyang Xueqing's face was pale and her complexion gaunt as she nodded briefly. "I am okay. Don't worry."
