Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 48

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

It was late at night. The yard of the mansion was quiet as if there was no one there.

Prince Yu was still depressed after parting with rest. He was certain that there must be some inside story about the apocalypse, and he was deeply disappointed at priest Dean’s unfair favoritism. Under the urging of this resentment, he immediately summoned his subordinates to set up a follow-up incitement plan and asked them to contact all the royal families to gather in Yu’s Palace, determined to make it a mess.

The secret meeting didn’t end until late at night. After dismissing the crowd, Prince Yu took a tiger step with a gloomy face, intending to go back to the backyard to see the condition of that important chess piece. He walked around the gallery all the way to the back garden. His face was flickering under the converging light. He kept thinking in his heart, “The light domain of the white bird is invincible. It’s obviously impossible to force them to stay by force. I can only move my wife to Huairou…” Now that things had come to this, he had no choice. No matter what, he had to keep her first. However, it was not difficult to fool such an innocent little girl and a stupid bird. Thinking of this, he came to the door of the guest room. He gently knocked three times on the door, but there was no movement inside.

Did she fall asleep? After all, it was normal for a little girl to fall asleep early since he couldn’t bear fatigue. He stared at the door frame and waited for a while. When he shook his head and was about to leave, his heart suddenly tightened. He pushed the door open and broke into the room. There was only a bed, a table, and two wooden chairs. Miyo and the fat bird had already disappeared.

Where is she!? Prince Yu was so shocked that his eyes were as wide as bells. He searched the room at full speed but found nothing. How did she leave? There were all the secret guards of Prince Yu’s mansion around. Even if the white bird could use his divine energy, it shouldn’t be that no one had informed him! His heart was filled with doubts. He trembled his lips and was about to call the guard to question when a soft low voice came from the door, “I sent her away.”

The soft voice was like a thunderbolt, shocking Prince Yu on the spot. He stopped breathing and turned around in disbelief. Lady Nuo Huai was still wearing a linen robe, holding the bead chain, and standing at the door. Her face was as calm as water.

“You… What do you mean? “

“It’s beneath your dignity…” Madam lowered her eyes and walked into the door slowly. There seemed to be imperceptible anger between her eyebrows. “She is a poor girl who lost her mother since childhood. How dare you make use of her? If Ming hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known what it was like outside. Do you still want to hide it from me? “

Mrs. Nuo Huai didn’t like noise by nature. She only cultivated in the mansion and rarely went out, so she didn’t care about the wind and rain outside. If it weren’t for Yu Ming’s words, her husband would have kept her in the dark, thinking that she really wanted to invite someone to stay here. Even though she had cultivated for many years, she could not help but get angry after knowing the truth. At this moment, she asked impolitely.

Prince Yu secretly scolded this unlucky child for being thoughtless, but he was in the wrong. Even though he was angry, he had to weaken his momentum and defend himself, “What can I do?! You know what happened eight years ago. The Emperor wanted her, but he secretly gave her to the Priest. How could she break her promise! I did all these for Ming, didn’t I?”

“You are so stupid. I just want to ask you, Ming grew up with her, and he has long regarded him as her own sister, and he often misses her after separation. Now you have caused a sensation in the city. What does he think? “

“What do you think? Hum… He is my son. What do you think he should think! We only talk about private affairs all day long, regardless of the general interests. When can we do something big? “At the thought of his disappointing son, Prince Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred. He was just too lazy in his cultivation. He was about to bow to his son, but he still acted like a child without any progress. He was both angry and anxious.

“That’s his nature. It’s useless to force him…” Madam sighed again and changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about it. His majesty has known that you brought Miyo back. How can he get off the stage if you do so?”

“I just want to embarrass him! If he hadn’t been so aggressive, why would I have come to this point with him? Don’t you remember that ever since he ascended the throne, every imperial edict has made me embarrassed? He has been addicted to those inexplicable Barbarian products all day long and even issued some free teachings. This is simply destroying the foundation of our divine sect! How can I not teach him a lesson? “

When Mrs. Nuo Huai heard this reason, she only felt like a child’s fight, not as courageous as a prince. She was a little disappointed. She withdrew the bead in her hand, raised her tone, and asked, “The foundation of the divine sect? What was the foundation? The holy tower is the foundation of the divine sect, and the cultivators like us are the foundation. What does it have to do with the commoners? You are so obsessed? You always say that Ming is unreasonable. So what about you?

The lady’s complaint infuriated Prince Yu. He shook his sleeve and shouted at her, “You all turn your elbows to the outside. Let you go! Without that girl, I will do the same! “

At this moment, he was so angry that he didn’t want to stay any longer. He stamped his feet hard and flashed out of the room, leaving his wife alone in the empty room, feeling secretly sad. Her husband had been getting more and more irritable over the years. Although she knew the reason, there was no way to solve it. Now that the situation had turned out like this, he was afraid that the Emperor would be furious…Her husband couldn’t persuade her anymore. What should she do? She decided to discuss it with her father first.

This matter was in a dilemma, making Mrs. Nuo Huai’s calm face look stiff and worried. She sighed helplessly and walked slowly to the door. There was an old well with moss stains in the center of the courtyard. She stood beside the well and closed her eyes. She stretched out her hand and emitted a blue light. The clear underground water instantly surged to the edge of the well like a fountain. Mrs. Nuo Huai touched the water, and her whole body trembled slightly. She turned into a ball of pure blue water and integrated into the well in the blink of an eye, disappearing.

On the other side of Jing, the Emperor was still wearing a black robe in the solemn Imperial Palace. He leaned against a soft chair in the study, holding a document in his hand, lost in thought. The Imperial Guard, Captain of Ye Chi, stood beside him, with his eyes closed as if he was meditating. If it weren’t for the imperceptible undulations in his chest, he would have looked like a lifelike statue.

There was a faint fragrance in the room. Several magic chandeliers lit up the room. The light reflected on the document written on the grass. The document’s title was “Coorong,” with two big words, below which were all small words. His background’s general information was told, but he hemmed and hawed at the key point, and his words were vague.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

A ringing bell disturbed the Emperor’s thoughts. He turned his head subconsciously and saw the huge self ringing telephone beside the door. It was already 12 o’clock at midnight. Was it already this hour…The Emperor threw the certificate in his hand on the table, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest, and continued to think about what he had just thought.

Miyo’s sudden appearance caught him by surprise. Especially after the public started the rumor about Prince Yu, the situation seemed to be out of control for a while. Still, it was not a big problem after all. After all, a rumor was a rumor. No matter how fierce it was, he had countless ways to prevaricate. If he comforted her a few more times, the big thing would naturally turn into a small one.

He had been on the throne for so many years, so he had already been familiar with stirring up public opinion. Moreover, now he had the Jing radio, the killer, in his hand? He was worried about that, but that after Ye Chi returned to the palace yesterday, he mentioned that he had seen her on Yu’s Palace, Mr.Coorong. Which made him feel uncomfortable. Coorong……This unknown Sorcerer of soul seemed to be unusually remote. No one knew his background, nor did anyone contact him, but why did he make friends with Prince Yu?

Assassination. At that time, Coorong went to pursue the murder with the crown prince, but in the end, he returned to Jing alone. The Emperor had also asked about the crown prince’s whereabouts. He only said that he was stopped halfway and sent back because of his poor health. He didn’t know where the crown prince had gone. The Emperor knew his son’s temper very well. He didn’t think too much at that time. Now it seemed that something was wrong.

Although he didn’t have any evidence and no conclusion that could be inferred, he had to doubt Prince Yu when he heard the rumor. Did he get involved in the crown prince’s disappearance?

Thinking of this, the Emperor was a little annoyed. Although he and Prince Yu had been at odds for a long time in political affairs, he didn’t believe that his brother would do such a thing from the bottom of his heart. He tapped the armrest with his fingertips a few times and sighed as if he was talking to himself, “What do you think?”

The Captain still closed its eyes, as if it didn’t care about anything around it. Hearing this question, he didn’t even frown. He just said the word “suspicious” expressionlessly and returned to a standstill.

Suspicious… The Emperor pursed his lips tightly and filled his eyes were with coldness. Although the people around him were ordinary, they had never made a mistake. Since even he said so, it was enough to prove his guess. He didn’t care about what happened to Miyo. After all, it was a lot of things that he couldn’t decide on his own. But if someone dared to target his only heir, it would break his restricted area. He would never let it go.

He stared at the document on the table and meditated for a long time. Finally, he sat up and made a decision. “You go to pass on my will and order the announcement to be issued throughout the country. A week later, We will hold the court meeting in the hall of the front hall. All the princes, the heads and vice sect leaders, and the elders in the holy pagoda, if you still have any objection to the Oracle, you can attend the meeting and discuss…”

The Captain stood there for the whole night and strode out of the study without saying a word. The Emperor didn’t move at all. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the paper. When he heard his footsteps gradually disappear, he leaned back in the chair wearily.

Now that they were going to make a scene, they might as well make it bigger with them. In this way, they could see how many people in the world were alienated from him. He would surrender in one year. Before that, she must find out all the people who conspired with her secretly, and never leave any future trouble to her son!

The Emperor looked out of the room with a straight face. In the darkness, the dark and cold palace was like a towering wall, isolated and trapped the warm and bright room in the world. He sneered and waved his hand. Several iron threads hit the switch on the wall and extinguished the magic light. There was only solid darkness in the room, and there was also a pair of strange eyes that flickered with metal luster.

Under the moonlight, in the purple bamboo forest at the top of the tower.

After eating and drinking enough, Gian was wrapped in tiredness. As soon as he lay down on the bamboo bed, he kept snoring, which made Hsuan beside his depressed.

What a heartless guy. He twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed secretly. He didn’t care about him anymore. He turned around and walked out of the small room. Following the brick road to the depths of the bamboo forest, a familiar purple stone tablet quickly appeared in front of him. He stood in front of the stela and looked at it. It seemed that time could not leave any marks on it. It was still the same, which was really desirable. If only he could be as emotionless as this stone tablet. He shook his head and sighed with self-mockery. Thinking that Miyo and that stupid bird had fallen into the mortal strife, the other end of the stone tablet had become a deserted place. For a moment, he felt a little sad.

“Well, let’s find another way…” He stood still for a long time before he managed to calm himself down. He reached out his hand, and a purple light flashed. The Priest appeared in the small wooden house under the starry sky again. He thought the room must be quiet, but unexpectedly he heard a low voice like whispers. He habitually walked a few steps forward and immediately sensed that the voice came from the lounge next to him.

This wooden house was his most secluded residence. No one could enter it except for fat birds and Miyo. Hsuan didn’t think too much. He walked to the door in surprise and joy. She pushed the door silently, and the sound of the fat bird became clearer.

“Hey, Miyo, let’s act more naturally. Don’t let that old smoker see through something…”

“Okay…”

“Come on, read it to me: Hsuan… It’s so disgusting! “

“Hsuan…”

“Uh…Little Miyo, you don’t have to learn the last sentence…”

“Oh…”

The conversation between the two people was amused. Suddenly, he felt warm in his heart, dispelling all the troubles he had accumulated today, and only a little confusion remained. “Maybe, as Blake said, I have entered the world deeply, and countless emotions are involved. It’s difficult to get rid of them.”

He sighed for a few seconds but immediately calmed down and did not think too much. He deliberately coughed, which frightened the sound in the room. He waved his sleeves and waited for a moment. Then he opened the door as if nothing had happened. He saw the fat bird standing at the square table in front of him with a fat belly and staring at him with round eyes. Beside him was Miyo, who had her little head tilted, with an innocent look on her face.

The Priest glanced at the girl and asked Huang with a weird smile, “What happened today? It’s so late. Why don’t you go to bed? “

The fat bird pretended to cover his mouth and coughed. Then the girl explained in a low voice, “Hsuan…Today, we went to a new restaurant for dinner. We didn’t know the way, so we came back too late…”

“Oh? What restaurant? I’ll try it next time. “

The girl just followed the script and didn’t expect that. She turned to the fat bird for help. Huang could only stutter and say, “it’s a new restaurant. Name? How can I remember? I’m only responsible for eating! “It raised its neck and said firmly, thinking that it was flawless.

Hsuan didn’t debunk his lie. He walked slowly to the table, squinted at Huang, and asked in surprise, “Really? But I heard that there was a rumor outside today. Have you heard of it? “

“What… What rumor? How could I know? “The fat bird shrank its wings with a guilty conscience, rolled his eyes, and shouted again, “Ah! I see. My admirers must have been too excited to hear my arrival, so they made a big mess! “

“Oh?Really? “

“Well, of course, of course. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Miyo!Little Miyo? Little Miyo? “

The fat bird called a few times, but there was no response. Only a slight slam of the door came from the distance. It was obvious that the little girl was sleepy and had already run to the bedroom to sleep. Seeing that his ally, who was fighting side by side, abandoned him, the fat bird couldn’t help but stare blankly. Under his carelessness, he was caught by Hsuan, who was approaching him.

“How dare you make such a big mistake? I’ll teach you a lesson!” Thinking that all the trouble he had encountered today was because of this stupid bird, Priest was furious. He gritted his teeth and started to hit Huang’s little head.

“Help! Help! Kill the birds! Hey, if you keep playing, I won’t stand on ceremony! Ah! Help! “

The fat bird’s shrill cries once again spread throughout the entire house, but for some reason, it always made people feel that it was also happy inside.

The storm in Jing was about to break out, but the Emperor’s imperial edict left enough time for the parties to plan. It would take a week for them to come up with an answer to the open strife and dark strife. But before that, under the snow-covered sky in the north, a destined journey was slowly beginning.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
