Under his rule, the empire attacked the northern barbarians, expanded southern Xinjiang in the south, developed commerce in the east, and added new services in the west, the old people were indignant and indignant, only hated not to be born thirty years early, so as to participate in the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, of course, in the era of peace, people have dissatisfaction with ordinary life, but, everyone did not think that from peace to war, maybe, It's just a short time, so short that almost everyone is caught off guard.

The night of February in the seventh year of the empire's eternal life

The imperial astrological platform, which is ten zhang high, is made of a huge Qinghe stone with a smooth edge, starting from the open space outside the original main hall of Qin Tianjian, there are three statues of gods on the platform, the statues of the gods should be covered with long veils, and the faces cannot be seen, one red, one white, one black, unspeakably strange, but whenever the officials have a slight objection to this, the saint will be furious, and over time, no one will touch the dragon's whiskers again.

The astrological observatory was built seven years ago, on the day of completion, the saint changed the year name to eternal life, meaning a long life, people say that it was the woman in white who was in the astrological observatory all the year round to bewitch the saint, so that the saint indulged in the way of longevity, and built this huge observatory like a waste of life. And tonight, the woman in white stood quietly on the astrological platform, looking at the three masked statues, her fingers pinching rapidly, and her brows furrowed tightly, as if some problem had stumped her.

The stars tonight are unusually dense, and the bright starry sky should be the beauty of the world, but an originally bright star in the center of the starry sky instantly dimmed and was covered with a trace of blood. Just when the woman in white stopped counting, an old man in a golden dragon robe came to the astrology platform alone, and between his eyebrows, he could vaguely see the heroic appearance of his youth, which was the saint of today.

He looked at the woman and said coldly, "Tell me, what did you see?" ”

The woman in white didn't seem to be afraid of the most powerful person in the empire, she didn't look back, and her slightly hoarse voice sounded softly: "Your Majesty's time is running out, and after his death, the empire will collapse." ”

"Hey, hey, hey—" A sinister smile came from the old man's mouth, and he didn't mind the woman's shocking words, "Tell your sister that if you mobilize her subordinates in Southern Xinjiang, I will completely remove the biggest obstacle for my son before I die." Another burst of almost self-deprecating laughter, "Dead? Annihilation? How could the empire's three-hundred-year legacy be destroyed after my death? ”

The woman in white quietly looked at the old man who was about to go crazy with laughter, and her eyes were calm, like the deep starry sky overhead.
