Chapter 2624: Loving the prince, but he doesn’t know (Part 70)

Luo Qing Chen never would have imagined that something would happen the day of the conferring ceremony.

The sky that was clear was suddenly filled with lightning and the wind howled as black clouds covered the blue sky.

Luo Qing Chen stood beside Du Jiu Sheng in the bright red dress with the wind blowing right through it.  Her right hand trembled as she said, “Big brother Jiu Sheng……”

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”  Du Jiu Sheng tightly held her hand and kept her behind him as he looked up at the dark clouds with knitted brows.

The lightning pierced through the sky, seeming as dangerous as the end of the world.

“A bad omen!”  The prime minister Wang You looked at the sky and shouted, “It’s a bad omen!”

“Shut up!”  Du Jiu Sheng narrowed his cold eyes, “No one is allowed to talk about this one’s empress.”

Even if this kind of strange occurrence had never happened before, no one was allowed to blame it on his empress.

But then there was a bolt of lightning that fell down right on Wang You.  He was completely burnt and fell to the ground.

“Ah!”  Everyone called out and all retreated.  Only Ya Nu came forward to protect the two of them.

Luo Qing Chen could feel her heart jumping into her throat, feeling suffocated by this.

It was a sense of……danger approaching.

Luo Qing Chen looked up to see two lightning bolts falling from the sky.

The light was so bright that it completely blinded her.  There was only a ‘hong’ sound before her vision turned dark.

-

A nightmare, a long dream, a recurring dream.

She didn’t know how many times she had this dream already and the scenes in the dream gradually cleared.

The splendid palace was the King’s Landing Palace and Du Jiu Sheng seemed to be by her, but also not.

She didn’t know who it was that held her hand, but she suddenly pulled it back. She no longer felt the warmth that reached her heart from those hands.

“Ah!”

She was sitting in her bedroom when she woke up.

“Empress, you’re awake.”  Tao Zi who had been serving her recently looked at her and said, “This servant will pour some water for the empress.”

“Where’s the emperor?”  Everything that happened at the ceremony wasn’t a dream.  She had seen the two bolts of lightning fall, it was impossible that Du Jiu Sheng was fine.

“The emperor is already awake and went to the royal study to discuss some important matters with Ya Nu.”  Tao Zi honestly replied, “The emperor said that if the empress wakes up, you should rest or go and see the little prince.”

Hearing Tao Zi say this, she felt relieved.

It was good……It was good nothing happened……

“Un.”  Luo Qing Chen said with a nod, “Prepare a bath.”

“Yes!  Empress!”

The warm water touched her body and she felt like she was waking up.

What had happened at the ceremony was too strange, she had even seen the space and time rifts in the clouds.

Could this be the collapse of a space that the system mentioned before?

What happened when a space collapsed?  Would lightning fall down that easily?”

“This servant greets the emperor.”  She heard Du Jiu Sheng’s footsteps.

She dressed up and walked into the hall.

Du Jiu Sheng’s figure slowly came into view.  He was wearing a dragon robe and stood not far away with his hands behind his back.

“Big brother Jiu Sheng.”  She suddenly called him before running over to hug him from behind, “It’s good that you’re fine.  You really scared me to death.”

Du Jiu Sheng’s shoulders trembled as a dim light appeared in his eyes.
