so basically the story or rumour about swan hall is that in the year 687th, swan hall was originally a chapel for high priests, but the emperor ordered the chapel to be remodelled as a palace for his beloved empress to express his love. when she first walked in, she shed happy tears. it starts to get concerning because the story takes a turn and reveals that the emperor witnessed the empress and his son, the imperial prince, the empress’s stepson, in bed together. in a fit a rage the emperor pulled out his sword, presumably to kill them or point them to execution. shuli is concerned because of 3 main reasons. 1, she is aware of the rumours that jeremy could be holding off his marriage with ohera because he’s in love with shuli, his own step mother, sort of mirroring the story of swan hall. 2, cardinal richelieu was the one who recommended shuli to look up this story as it may “benefit” her. those two have a bad history of encounters. 3, there’s seemingly a death threat or an extreme warning that comes with knowing the story of swan hall now, as the story ended with the empress and prince dead. hope this made sense
Thank you so much!
Can anyone tell me what is happening in chapter 86 and 87? Like, what does she read in that library? I am thankful to the translators, however, translation is a little wonky here so I don't understand what she found in the library and why it is concerning. Thank you
