The Heaven Palace was rather restless tonight.
The myriad gods had dispersed from the Heavenly Emperor's hall. After the four assisting deities had left one after another, Emperor Shun's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He sat quietly by the throne's armrest without uttering a word.
Beside him, Chang Xi felt truly frightened and anxious.
After a good while, Chang Xi finally called out with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm?"
Emperor Shun came back to his senses and showed Chang Xi a gentle smile, opening his arms to her.
Gently, Chang Xi snuggled into Emperor Shun's embrace.
"My beauty, return first to the Moon Palace and wait for me. I still have some matters to deal with... Don't worry, I am not angry with you."
Chang Xi softly responded, but Wu Wang's voice surfaced in her heart.
If the Heavenly Emperor looks troubled after we leave, don't overthink it. Take the opportunity to say "I have troubled Your Majesty" and then take your leave.
