The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 151

Heading to Jiangnan again.

In the imperial city, the atmosphere was tense and people were on edge.

The young emperor had entered the Star Picking Palace, secluding himself from the outside world.

Duke Wei was bedridden, his health deteriorating due to anger and stress.

Both of them, once at the core of power struggles, had vanished from the scene, leaving the entire capital unusually calm.

Others wisely remained quiet, avoiding any rash actions, fearing they might disrupt this tranquility and become targets of misplaced anger.

Yet people knew this calm was destined to be short-lived, merely the calm before the storm.

The fierce winds and torrential rains were on their way... perhaps to unfold this winter, or maybe in the coming spring.

But everyone was aware that the confrontation had already begun, with the emperor gaining a slight advantage.

With his brother killed, Duke Wei had yet to make any move, leading some to speculate whether he had compromised.

Of course, others believed he was gathering strength in secret...

Rumors spread like wildfire, causing unrest and anxiety among the people.

Another half month passed, and Cangyue Xiao's corpse had dried out, still lying in the dilapidated Jizhou King's Mansion.

Meanwhile, the vegetable market at the noon gate had been thoroughly cleaned.

The turbulent situation in Jizhou gradually stabilized, and the anticipated storm never came to the city.

Everything was eerily calm, yet there was an underlying strangeness.

A city lord, a noble of his time, had died, and he was truly gone.

People soberly realized that even in the whirlpool of power, no matter how high one's position, the end might still be tragic, leaving no resting place.
