Chapter 284 Saio and the Little Emperor in the Palace (page 12)
Time passed by and it was late at night the next day.
【…】
.
[The moon is high in the sky, and everything in Kyoto is completely silent under the dark night. Only a few houses are still lit with lights. 】
[You are standing on the roof corner of a three-story famous house, looking at the 'Gosho Palace' in the distance. 】
[The huge palace city is like a dormant ancient beast. Even if it is sleeping, you can clearly feel the dangerous and terrifying atmosphere contained within it. 】
【…】
[After waiting for a long time, the palace gate opened and a carriage drove out silently. 】
[This carriage has six strong horses pulling it in front. The carriage is extremely tall but does not have any gorgeous decorations. 】
[The carriage slowly drove into the darkness in the direction of 'Asuka no Yu'...]
[As the carriage left, the terrifying and destructive atmosphere in the palace also weakened and dissipated. 】
[When the carriage goes away, you jump up and jump off the roof. 】
[When he landed, the old and short figure had disappeared...]
【…】
【伱 remained invisible and quickly rushed to the palace. 】
[You used your infiltration ninja skills to the extreme, quietly climbed over the tall wall, and entered the 'Gosho Palace' without attracting the attention of the patrolling guards. 】
[The vast palace city in front of us is still brightly lit even in the middle of the night, with many warriors patrolling and guarding it. 】
[According to your memory, the first entrance to the palace is the "Outer Garden" area of the Imperial Palace, and the "East Garden" is where the general lives and handles government affairs. 】
[In the old days, the royal family members all lived in the 'Inner Garden'. Without the order of the general, they could not leave the 'Imperial Palace' and could only live in the 'Inner Garden' area. 】
[You sneak all the way, heading towards the 'Inner Garden'...]
[Crossing the palace walls and passing through the palaces, you arrive at the 'Inner Garden' area. 】
[The palace building in front of you is more gorgeous than the 'Waiyuan', with the overhanging eaves, green tiles and red roofs showing the royal style. 】
[It’s just that there are more and more elite warriors patrolling here. They are all tall and burly, exuding strong killing intent. It seems that this place is not the imperial palace, but an underground prison where dangerous death row prisoners are held. 】
[The palaces in the 'Inner Garden' are all grand and luxurious, and the scale is also very huge, as if they were carved from the same mold. 】
[You can't tell which palace the 'little emperor' lives in, you can only explore one by one...]
There are many buildings in the palace city, which are extremely complex. Lin Xun sneaked into several palaces, but none of the people in them were 'little emperors'.
Seeing time passing by bit by bit, with such efficiency, it is absolutely impossible to find the 'little emperor' before the general returns to the palace.
He narrowed his eyes and decided to use the method of seizing the body and searching for memories.
There are groups of warriors outside the palace, and they are too numerous to attack.
He can only choose the royal family members living in the palace as targets.
【…】
[A palace in the distance catches your attention. Not only are there many warriors guarding the palace, but there are also several female attendants standing at the palace gate to serve. 】
[Obviously the identity of the owner of this palace is extraordinary! 】
【Do you want to sneak into it? 】
Lin Xun was delighted and quickly pressed the 'Yes' option.
[You remained invisible, quietly walked around to the side of the palace, and silently opened the window lock...]
[You opened the corner of the window and sneaked into the hall without making any noise. 】
[The palace is brightly lit, and the furnishings are more luxurious and exquisite than what you have seen before. 】
[A beautiful woman is sitting beside the bed, holding an embroidery hand and embroidering it stitch by stitch. 】
"It's a pity that he's not the little emperor..."
"But this person's identity should not be simple. Let's log it first and see if we can search for the memory of the little emperor."
[You continue to remain invisible and quietly approach the bed...]
[Suddenly you feel yourself stepping into the range of an inexplicable force. This force is extremely familiar, and it is exactly the same as the divine power in Tianming Shrine. 】
[Your figure is immediately revealed, and the woman beside the bed raises her head to look at you. 】
[It is seen that it is wearing a single garment made of twelve layers of Tang silk. This kind of dress fabric is colorful and extremely gorgeous. Only orthodox royal women can wear it. 】
【You discovered the 'Fire-Worshiping Saio Shozuhime'! 】
[The woman was not surprised at all when she saw you, she lowered her head and continued to embroider with the needle and thread in her hand, speaking in a very calm tone...]
[Is the general coming to take its life at last? Being able to die by the sword of the 'Ninja Master' can be regarded as living up to the name of the royal family. 】
[You frown and look at the woman in front of you, the memory in your body gradually revives...]
[Zhaio is the title of the highest-ranking shrine maiden in Tenmei Shrine. It can only be held by unmarried princes, queens or princesses in the royal family. It was an important means for the emperors in the old days to borrow the authority of Yama to rule Sakura Fall. 】
[During the heyday of the imperial family, the status of Saio was much higher than that of the Shrine Shrine. The imperial family sent Saio to the shrine, which was equivalent to announcing to the world that the king's power was granted by God, and the emperor was the only orthodox servant of Yama. 】
[It’s just that time has passed, and now, the royal family has weakened, and even Saio can only be imprisoned in the deep palace...]
[The Saio shrine maiden named 'Chizuhime' in front of me is the eldest daughter of the emperor and the only sister of the 'little emperor'. 】
[The broken memory ends abruptly...]
"Saio?"
Lin Xun recalled that when he met the head of the Ogiwara family in the body of the master of the Isha Palace, the head of the family once made a bold statement that when the army conquered Kyoto, all the shrine maidens and Saio from Tenmei Shrine would be given to the palace master as secret medicine. Material.
Unexpectedly, I didn't see Saio in Tenmei Jingu Shrine, but finally met him in the Gosho Palace.
[What’s your next move? 】
[1. Pull out the 'Dragon Sword Masamune' from your waist, stab the woman in front of you to death, and possess her to seize her body. 】
[2. It would be a pity to kill the emperor's eldest daughter like this. It is better to have some fun before that and become the royal consort. 】
【3. Reveal your identity as the 'Agent of Yama' to it to obtain relevant information about the 'Little Emperor'. 】
The 'Saio Shozuhime' in front of me is probably the most powerful wet nurse in this chapter.
The bodies of the two novice nannies in the shell column are of low quality and cannot exert the power of the nanny's artifact, 'Amaho Saki's Harvest Scythe'.
If they could get Saio's body, the two wet nurses could immediately announce their retirement.
However, Lin Xun did not kill anyone to seize the memory of the body, but chose the third option.
[You took out the 'Amaho Saki Ina's Harvest Scythe' without saying a word. The small sickle was stained with rust, and there were layers of lines on it that looked like blazing flames. 】
['Zaiou Jizuhime' suddenly raised her head and stared closely at the harvest artifact in your hand. 】
[The flame pattern on the small sickle seems to be connected to the royal bloodline, and suddenly flickers and jumps, just like a real flame burning. 】
['Zaiou Jizuhime' was stunned, her expression was filled with excitement, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes. 】
