In order to reach the Capital City as soon as possible, Ye Shuangshuang traveled urgently with the guards who delivered the imperial summons, hardly resting, and changed horses as soon as they reached a post station.
The horses rested, but the people did not. They strove to reach the Capital City as quickly as possible. When they arrived, it was pitch dark, and the city gates had long since closed.
However, after the guards showed their badges and called out, the city gates were immediately opened. The guards led Ye Shuangshuang as they galloped through the Capital City, heading directly to the Imperial Palace with barely a pause, and entered the palace.
The palace of this dynasty was grandly built, its main colors of black, white, and gray were solemn and austere. Within the palace, running, horseback riding, and carriage driving were strictly prohibited. Yet at this moment, Ye Shuangshuang rode her horse, galloping through the Imperial Palace alongside the guards.
