Chapter 25 Crimsom Armors

• Inside the palace, an emperor lay by the bedside of the empress, his beloved wife, who had been convulsing for hours. An's agony was too slow for her, and the pain in her husband's chest was too great as he felt incapable of helping her alleviate the suffering.
• Heng was also crying because his eldest son was suffering from his own injuries; silently, because he knew the misfortune it represented for a ruler to feel useless and defeated in front of his people.
• What he had no inkling of was that his son Jin had risen from his sickbed a couple of hours ago to seek explanations from the old man, and down there, in the most remote cellar of the palace, Shun was dealing with a life-or-death battle.
