"Could it be that we simply can't enter this place?"
"Then where should we go?"
"Let's analyze it. The Imperial Palace here should be more or less the same as Great Qi's. It is roughly divided into the left, central, and right outer courts, as well as the left, central, and right inner courts. It's extremely complicated. Without waist tokens, things may go smoothly at first, but something is very likely to go wrong afterward."
"We have the waist tokens. Where should we go?"
Everyone looked at Li Qingxian and Shen Xiaoyi.
Li Qingxian said, "Let's go over this carefully. The outer court has three main areas: the Hall of Supreme Harmony area, the Hall of Military Valor area, and the Hall of Literary Glory area. The Hall of Supreme Harmony area lies at the very center of the Imperial Palace, where the emperor handles state affairs. We absolutely cannot touch it. That is the core of the Old Kingdom. If we act recklessly there, we will certainly die."
Everyone nodded.
"Next are the Hall of Military Valor area and the Hall of Literary Glory area. In truth, we can go to both places. The Hall of Military Valor handles all sorts of ceremonies and rites, while the Hall of Literary Glory is where the Cabinet and other outer officials are located. If we only want to stay alive, we can completely blend in there, avoid capture, and deal with any ordinary Fate Corpses that may appear. But the problem is that, at this point, we may no longer be able to keep blending in. If we slack off even a little, the strokes on our examination papers may fall behind, and we'll ultimately be eliminated."
"Indeed."
"Then we can only venture into the inner court of the rear palace.
