Chapter 68 All dust and filth vanished, and heaven and earth were bathed in light!
Sunlight poured down, casting a golden glow.
Bathed in this brilliant golden light, the capital city appeared even more majestic, magnificent, and awe-inspiring.
But how could Chu Lengyu stop there?
She spoke again.
"Decree, all dust and filth will vanish, and heaven and earth will be bathed in light!"
Upon hearing this, people looked puzzled.
Only when clothes fluttered, branches swayed, and the aroma of wine wafted through the alley did men, women, and children exclaim in unison, "The wind is picking up."
This wind is neither the warmth of spring nor the heat of summer, nor the bleakness of autumn or the biting chill of winter. It carries an indescribable gentleness and purity, quietly brushing across every inch of land and every branch.
As the wind gently caressed them, the dust and haze seemed to come alive, rising slowly and then quickly dissipating into nothingness.
Above the sky, the wind blew away the clouds, revealing a clear blue sky that stretched for thousands of miles, crystal clear and bright.
The world seemed to have undergone the most sacred baptism, and all things were renewed.
People can't help but gaze into the distance.
The sky was high and the land was vast and clear. My soul seemed to be purified as well. All my troubles and worries vanished with the wind and smoke, leaving only inner purity and tranquility.
Some stood still, gazing at the incredible sight, their eyes sparkling with surprise and admiration; others whispered among themselves, sharing this rare joy with those around them.
The children cheered and jumped for joy, running and laughing, their clear and melodious laughter adding even more liveliness and energy to this beautiful scene.
Even more surprisingly, as the dust and grime dissipated, people felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort in their bodies.
The fatigue and stagnation that had accumulated in my body for so long seemed to be carried away by this magical wind, replaced by an unprecedented sense of freshness and vitality.
They took a deep breath, their hearts filled with gratitude and awe.
This is when all the dust and filth are swept away, and heaven and earth are illuminated.
……
royal palace.
In the imperial study, the emperor held the vermilion brush, then hesitated and paused in mid-air.
He seemed to hear the voice twice more, and recalling Hongfu's previous account, he summoned him in.
Hong Fu's excitement had just subsided, and he was trying hard to control his expression and make himself look calm and normal.
Upon being summoned, he hurried to the emperor's presence, bowed respectfully, and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"That strange sound rang out twice more, did you hear it?" the emperor asked.
"This servant heard you." Hong Fu lowered his head and answered only this one sentence, without mentioning anything else.
At that moment, he thought to himself: I not only heard it, I also saw it. The sound was extraordinary, accompanied by all sorts of strange sights.
But now the wind has died down, the clouds have dispersed, and all things have returned to peace. Only the sky is clear and clean, so I dare not mention it lightly.
The emperor paused, then nodded and said, "Then you may leave."
"Yes." Hong Fu was about to leave.
But as soon as he took a step back, the emperor called out to him: "Wait."
He paused, then stopped.
The emperor, who had been feeling uneasy all day, had a worried look on his face. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Did anything go wrong at the snow appreciation banquet today?"
"Your Majesty, the Night Guards have not sent any new information," Hong Fu replied.
After speaking, he had a sudden thought. He remembered that His Majesty had been talking about "cultivating immortality" every day recently, and seemed quite obsessed with it. What was even stranger was that he had been sending people to keep an eye on Chu Lengyu and to keep track of her whereabouts every day. He couldn't help but ponder this.
So Hong Fu boldly suggested, "Your Majesty, today is a rare sunny day with clear skies and fresh air. Why not take this opportunity to go out for a walk?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor involuntarily turned his gaze to the window.
As the sunlight streamed down, everything shone brightly, and the inexplicable restlessness in his heart seemed to dissipate somewhat.
The emperor sighed softly and decided to heed Hong Fu's advice.
He had already had a sleepless night, and his mind was still unsettled today. He also got very angry while reviewing memorials this morning.
As the year draws to a close, the ministers, as always, bring up the issues of sacrifices and the selection of an heir.
The emperor believed that he was in his prime, strong and energetic, so why rush to establish an heir?
Besides, those boys are getting more and more unruly as they grow up; all of them combined are not as cute and worry-free as Jin'an.
The emperor put the memorial aside, stood up, and said, "Very well, I'll go out for a walk."
"Yes." Hong Fu was overjoyed and hurriedly followed behind the emperor.
As the emperor walked to the outside of the imperial study, he looked at the sudden good weather and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: I clearly remember that just a while ago it was cloudy and snowing heavily, how come it is so bright now?
Hong Fu followed closely beside him, secretly hoping that the mysterious woman who had summoned the strange phenomena would appear again so that His Majesty could witness it with his own eyes.
