Lingjiu Hall, situated in a remote courtyard in the back of the Imperial Palace.
Chu Qianli followed the night shadows in search, initially encountering numerous patrolling Imperial Guards.
However, for some reason, the closer she got to Lingjiu Hall, the fewer guards there were.
Near Lingjiu Hall, guards were almost nowhere to be seen.
Occasionally, if there was one or two, they merely passed by far away and never approached the vicinity of Lingjiu Hall.
It was said that the State Preceptor liked tranquility and disliked noisy environments. So, near Lingjiu Hall, there were no guards stationed?
Chu Qianli dared not be careless and approached slowly along the shadows of trees beside the forest trail.
The closer she walked, the more she could feel that solemn yet tranquil atmosphere emanating from inside Lingjiu Hall.
There really were no guards on duty.
She moved to the high wall of Lingjiu Hall and suddenly leaped, gently landing atop it.
