Prince Hong Estate, once the residence of the most powerful prince within the territory of Chu, was naturally extravagantly luxurious.
Carved beams and painted rafters, winding paths leading into secluded depths.
The defensive formations engraved upon its outer walls were no weaker than those of the imperial city, while the estate itself sprawled as broadly as a mountain range.
Even after Prince Hong's death, his former subordinates and old ministers remained, guarding this place.
