Princess Rong swiftly slipped inside, and the surroundings reverted to a tomb-like silence.
The oppressive atmosphere carried the scent of sandalwood.
In the center of the courtyard of the ancestral shrine, several large incense burners were placed. Even on a night when the moonlight was unclear, and there were no lights around, the silent and massive figure was still discernible under the faint twilight.
Princess Rong clenched her hands and stepped through the second gate along the corridor.
The main hall of the second gate was dedicated to the gods of the five directions of heaven and earth. Impressions of the images of gods hanging everywhere were vivid, and the open doorway resembled the gaping maw of a mythical beast, making one's heart involuntarily clench.
However, Princess Rong did not intend to go into the main hall, because when Prince Rong came, it was never to spend extended time with the divine and Buddhas.
