Section 1408 Before Enlightenment

The moon was obscured, and the stars were dim; hidden dangers lurked in the night.

Yilabo escorted four people to the palace's gate.

The gate was a side entrance to the palace, guarded by soldiers; however, as Yilabo approached, the guards asked no questions and simply opened the gate to let everyone in.

Everything went as smoothly as flowing water, which felt natural to all involved.

Shen Yue, however, felt this was highly unusual. In any dynasty, the palace, where the Emperor resided, was guarded by soldiers the Emperor trusted most and could call upon directly.

If Yilabo was Wanyan Zonghan's man, how could he manage to bring troops inside?

Didn't Wanyan Sheng have any precautions against Wanyan Zonghan?

It didn't make sense, especially since the previous conflict between Han Qixian and Wanyan Xiyin at Shangjing City Gate had illustrated the friction between Wanyan Zonghan and Emperor Wanyan Sheng.
