Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

——————————————————————————

Three days later.

The funeral ceremony of the late emperor.

The mournful horn sounded heavily from the instrument and spread throughout the land.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the gloomy sky with the wind, bringing sadness and solemnity into the brightly lit ancestral temple, moistening the red bird threshold.

The Imperial Master, who always liked red clothes, put on a plain mourning dress and walked slowly from the jade bricks to the imperial mausoleum platform.

His face was calm and cold, his plain white hands held the imperial edict bordered with gold threads, and he slowly opened it in full view of everyone.

The snow didn't fall heavily, it just fell lightly on the ground, leaving a light layer of frost.

The stunning national master, who represented the supreme god, read the late emperor's will to all the believing subjects in a clear and traceless tone.

"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed. The sons of our ancestors, the emperor, and the descendants of Prince Li are all safe now. If you can be vigilant and safe after my death, I will also die happily. My prince Chu Heng has a noble character and deep love. I bow, and I will be able to inherit the great unification. After I ascend the throne, I will be the emperor, and I will abide by the system of public opinion. I will serve for twenty-seven days, and I will announce the release of the service at home and abroad, and the envoys will hear about it. - In the 41st year of the Han Dynasty in Chu Han, November 13, Mao."

The vast and empty land of imperial mausoleums rejects the cold female voice that cannot be ignored,

As if the sound could be heard in the empty valley, the late emperor's will was conveyed to everyone's ears, majestic and extremely solemn.

The young man in plain clothes was kneeling on the next step, his eyelashes lowered, looking calmly at the snow-white jade bricks, his face calm.

There was no trace of joy, and it was strangely calm.

After the reading of the will is completed,

The Imperial Master, who was standing at the highest position, slowly leaned down and held the will in the air with a gentle and gentle gesture.

"Your Highness, will you accept the order?"

The boy's kneeling body moved slightly.

quite a while,

He slowly raised his head, his strangely dark eyes staring at the god-like Imperial Master in plain clothes, and a mysterious smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"My son, take the order."

Hands full of scars took over the imperial edict with a pious gesture,

As if the cold fingertips had accidentally touched the woman's warm hand, they lightly touched it without leaving any trace.

He slowly stood up, his body still weak,

Her face, which has not yet completely faded from its childlike color, is delicate and seems to be covered with a layer of haze.

He stared closely at the woman in front of him, with a calm smile on his lips.

Holding the silk imperial edict in his hand gently, he spoke,

The voice of a boy who is still slightly immature, mixed with a bit of the sandiness of an adult, seems inexplicably gentle.

"Thank you, Father, and thank you, Master National Master."

The Imperial Master's eyelashes trembled and he calmly retracted his hand.

The young man accepted the imperial decree and immediately became the new emperor.

He turned around and faced all his subjects,

The subjects all knelt down, and their voices were loud and uniform, "See Your Majesty——"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty—"

The Imperial Master who was originally standing at the highest position also walked down the steps and knelt down.

With the most surrendered attitude, he knelt at the feet of the new emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, be safe."

The new emperor stood calmly, his black eyes looking down at everyone without any disturbance.

Wearing plain mourning clothes, his slightly thin body was well covered.

Just like the god-killer who looks down on all living beings, without a trace of mercy or love in his heart,

Ascending to a high position will only increase the power in his hands and give him more opportunities to do whatever he wants.

He slowly leaned down and helped the kneeling Imperial Master up.

The cold palm touched her hand, but the strength was not strong.

But invisibly, some emotions appeared,

The dark eyes stared at her calmly, the color of the lips was pale, and the arc gradually deepened,

"Master Imperial Master, there is no need to be polite."
