Chapter 541 The Old Love Asks for a Marriage (6)
These words are not something that a slave can listen to or interrupt.

Xue Zhang lowered his head, pretending not to hear.

"Get up." After a long time, Emperor Liang regained his composure, waved to Xue Zhang, handed him the imperial decree, and said slowly, "Take this imperial decree to Yongning Lane to read it out."

Yongning Lane?
Although surprised in his heart, Xue Zhang didn't dare to delay, he immediately stood up and walked over to carefully receive the imperial decree from Emperor Liang. After leaving the inner hall, he led the group of young eunuchs and walked directly to Yongning Lane.

The sky has darkened, and the cold white silk covering the eaves is blown by the wind. From a distance, it looks like a ghost dancing with the wind, so terrifying.

The little eunuchs who followed Xue Zhang trembled in unison, the place in Yongning Lane is too dark!

After passing the long corridor, it was dark.

Yongning Lane has always been the place where the old maids who were not assigned to serve in the palaces lived. Even long ago, concubines who fell out of favor would be sent to this place.

In Yongning Lane, it happened from time to time that some people couldn't stand the dark life and chose to commit suicide.

Over the years, every void and every inch of air in this place has been filled with resentment.

It is rarely brightly lit after nightfall, so when you step in, you will see darkness.

The little eunuch who was walking next to Xue Zhang holding the lantern shook his arms, and the lights and shadows in the lantern flickered, making everything around him float up and down, adding a bit of gloom.

The little eunuchs shook their bodies again.

After a stick of incense, the few people finally found the nanny who was in charge here, and asked them to call out all the young and old maids to kneel down and listen to the order.

Before today, Yongning Lane was like a pool of stagnant water that would never have waves. It was chillingly silent, and all the dark resentment condensed into air and enveloped the sky above Yongning Lane.

Some people have been living under this layer of resentment since entering the palace, and their eyebrows and frost-stained temple hair are all tainted with desolation.

Today, I heard that the chief servants around the emperor came to announce the decree. Everyone was in high spirits. They re-dressed and quickly went to the courtyard to kneel down. , They are also very happy, after all, no one wants to waste their youth in this dark place for the rest of their lives.

It would be a relief if he could simply die.

In the time it takes to make a cup of tea, there are already a whole lot of people kneeling in the courtyard.

"Nurse Du, is everyone here?" Xue Zhang glanced at a few old maids with disheveled hair, wrinkled his nose in distaste, and took a few steps back with a dust whisk, lest his clean robe Contaminated with some dirt and bad smell.

Madam Du, who was in charge, stretched out her index finger to count the number of people, and said with a frown, "One is missing."

"Then hurry up and call!" Xue Zhang impatiently flicked the whisk again, fearing that if he waited a second longer, it would be bad luck.

Madam Du held up her skirt and searched from room to room, and finally found the white-haired maid at the foot of the dark locust tree.

"A-chan, why are you here?" Madam Du has always been kind to these palace people, so she was more polite when she spoke.

The white-haired palace maid named "A-chan" turned her head with difficulty. Between the messy hair, a pair of muddy eyes were faintly narrowed by the red light of the lantern. She was very afraid of light, so she quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes. block the sudden light.

"Don't be afraid." Madam Du helped her up patiently, "It's the emperor's servant, father-in-law, who came to declare the decree."

"Oh..." The white-haired palace lady responded casually, her tone full of vicissitudes, "It's been 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen someone coming over there!"
