Zhao Tian walked through the large hallways of the Imperial Jade Palace with the bouquet of Starlace violets in his hand, searching for Zhou Hanyue's room.
'They did say she lives on the North East wing of the palace and she is always there, alone...'
The guards stationed along the hallways straightened upon seeing him approach, their gazes respectful.
No one dared to question his presence or his intentions... after all, Zhao Tian was now a member of the royal family through his recent marriage to Zhou Hanyue.
After several minutes of walking, he finally arrived at the part of the palace that seemed almost detached from the rest.
The hallway was quieter here, the air cooler, and the ambiance was also somber.
Pausing for a moment, Zhao Tian raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
...
Inside the room, Zhou Hanyue sat by the window, a teacup cradled delicately in her hands.
