The night fell on the Imperial Palace of the Dayu Emperor, completely covering this magnificent palace.
Inside the exquisite palaces, the lights are bright, and countless lights cut through the night sky.
In the middle of the night, groups of forbidden troops would patrol back and forth in the palace. There were sentries openly and secretly, and there were also a group of monks who were good at observing the Quartet. Once there was a disturbance, they would be aware of it.
At the same time, the entire palace is also a huge magic weapon. As long as someone secretly breaks in, it doesn't even need others to notice.
This is the residence of the emperor, symbolizing the supreme imperial power.
If a person with hope of qi looks from a distance, they will find that a golden dragon flies into the sky above the palace, and from time to time it emits a loud dragon roar.
Everyone thought that Lu Yu would drive Zhao Yuanyan out and live in this palace by himself.
But until now, Lu Yu has never moved into the palace, and even the official enthronement ceremony has not been held.
Located in the southwest corner of the Imperial Palace, there is an exquisite pavilion standing beside the vast Tianchen Lake.
It is very quiet here, and few people pass by on weekdays. Even the eunuchs who are patrolling the night with the lamp tower will silently choose to avoid them when they approach here.
This is Zhao Gao's residence.
As the inner palace chief in charge of everything in the imperial palace, Zhao Gao has been regarded as the emperor's spokesperson to some extent.
Even when Zhao Yuanyan became emperor, he did not come forward, but even so, Zhao Gao always firmly held the inner palace in his hands.
This is the power bestowed upon him by Emperor Zhao Tianyin of Taigan. Even if the throne changes and the years go by, this power has not disappeared.
Liu Jin and Wei Zhong were nothing more than his disciples and grandchildren.
No one can surpass his trust, whether it is Zhao Tianyin or Lu Yu's previous life Xuan Ming, they regard him as a real relative.
"It's so late, I didn't expect you to rest." Lu Yu sat by the pavilion and drank a cup of tea quietly.
The tea has a bitter taste in the mouth, but it has a sweet aftertaste, and there is also a faint tea fragrance, which washes the mind.
At this moment, it seems that all distracting thoughts have disappeared, allowing people to maintain enough peace.
Zhao Gao surveyed tea for Lu Yu, with a kind smile on his face: "I'm getting old, but I can't sleep well. In fact, I was already asleep just now, but I was woken up suddenly, so I had to get up and take a walk by the lake."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Yu said lightly: "I still remember the past life, when you and I wandered the city together, why do we meet today, but there seems to be a gap?"
"This is natural. Different statuses have different attitudes towards people. We were all beggars in Bianliang City of Song State, with equal status, and the things we were concerned about were how to survive, so at that time, we naturally didn't know how to survive. Think about these things.”
Zhao Gao poured a cup of tea for Lu Yu and another cup for himself, and said with emotion: "At that time, His Majesty encountered a pack of wolves outside the city, and for the first time took up a knife and killed those bloodthirsty wild wolves. Every day I think about it, my servants feel agitated in my heart. It is estimated that no one will think that the step that Your Majesty took that day will bring a peerless powerhouse to the heaven."
