The Supreme Emperor, Lie Ge, issued a command that instantly alarmed the entire palace of the Prairie Empire. Upon hearing the news, the newly crowned emperor rushed to meet him. He first paid his respects to Lie Ge, then asked, "Why does Father suddenly wish to visit the ruins of Chu Kingdom's Royal City? That place is rather desolate now, and… frankly, it's a sensitive location!"
The new emperor was indeed puzzled. It had been sixty or seventy years, and the ruins were so eroded that it was difficult to even discern their former appearance. Moreover, Chu Kingdom had always placed great importance on the site, maintaining a constant guard over it.
Previously, when the Prairie Empire maintained good relations with Chu Kingdom, Lie Ge, as the Prairie's leader, could go and pay his respects at the ruins without any issues. But now… with the political climate being tense, visiting that location would surely lead to misunderstandings.
