A couple of days passed after Xing attended the court and the capital city had returned back to normal routines. Xing learned that since there was no proof against Lord Ran, he was still an official of the court.
That day Xing was leaning on the couch in her study and was reading a book about Empress Shu. Consort Shu mentioned about the one from their family who became the Empress and Xing found something odd about what she said. The Tianshi Emperor was the one who married the then Priestess from the Shu family. So why did their family lost their ability to be close with the gods as they used to? Did the Empress break some laws of the gods? Throughout history no emperor had married a priestess and made them Empress.. Is that a reason? She died within a year of marrying the Emperor and they had no children too. Is it taboo for a priestess to marry an Emperor? But these books didn't have any answers.
