There were tons of people kneeling on the floor in the side palace. They were like the surface of a calm ocean. As the middle-aged woman walked by, the ocean was split and it induced a wave. A servant leader coughed two times and the other servants on the floor kneeling all stood up hastily and left the palace without a sound.
That servant leader had wrinkles all over his face which represented his old age. He carefully lifted that middle-aged woman’s hand and said quietly and respectfully, “Even if that youngster’s background has some problems, why is the Queen so bothered?”
That middle-aged woman was the Divine Queen. Hearing the question of the servant, she said without expression, “If he’s just an ordinary person, then obviously I don’t need to bother with him.”
The servant leader knew that “ordinary” meant if the youngster could xiuxing or not. He thought deeply for a moment and said, “I checked that recommendation letter. There is no problem with it. The Pope gifted it to Lady Mo Yu and Princess Ping Guo back in the day…….from messages of Palace Li, the Pope has nothing to do with this. The youngster was dragged into this trouble by accident. Although his marriage vow with Palace Xu (General’s Mansion) was surprising, I can’t really see anything special about him.”
The Divine Queen stopped walking and glanced at the darkness behind the side palace. She was silent for a moment and asked, “Have you ever seen a person not afraid of death?”
The servant leader knew this question of the Divine Queen contained a deeper meaning so he started thinking seriously.
People all say the heroes of this world treated life and death lightly, but only the people who experienced countless times of struggle between life and death understand that their fearlessness was a result of their unbreakable will which overcame the fear. Their fear of death always existed in their hearts.
This servant leader lived in the Zhou Palace for several hundred years and had a great influence in the politics. Twenty years ago, after the last emperor passed away, all of the royal family disagreed with the Divine Queen ascending the throne and tried to rebel. The Queen easily put down the rebellion. It wasn’t only due to the strong and clear support from the Pope, but also because this servant leader played a major role.
He was a character who experience countless departure between life and death. He’s more than sure that no one was not afraid of death. Even a great man like the First Emperor was still not calm in his death bed. He stared at the stars in the night sky and the only expression in his eyes were fear and sadness.
He was beside the emperor that time. He saw that view clearly.
“No one is not afraid of death,” he answered.
