As the dark clouds over the Capital City began to disperse, Empress Sun, inside the deep palace, gazed out past the walls of the Ciqing Palace with icy cold eyes.
A total of two thousand soldiers, armed to the teeth, surrounded the Ciqing palace gate without any gaps. They held up swords and spears that shone coldly in the light, their armors were glinting ominously.
The deputy commander of the left Shenji battalion, Wang Yuan, led these soldiers.
There was also Helian Fulong sitting outside in person to guard against any unexpected accidents.
Empress Sun noticed the changes in the cloud cover above, but only glanced at it once before she turned her gaze away.
She knew it was the birth anniversary of the Immortal Master Shuide, Ao Shuying, so the cloud changes on this day did not bother her.
