Knife Back in The Scabbard Chapter 170

Ten years ago, on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival was full moon.

This should be a great festival for families to reunite, but as dusk falls, the vehicles and pedestrians on the streets turn around in a hurry and do not linger outside for long. Most of the taverns and theaters along the road are also closed, leaving only a few that light up and prepare for night business.

However, the business was bleak, with only some common people lingering there, and a few vulgar wealthy businessmen occasionally. The nobles who used to wear silk and pearls were nowhere to be seen, and the sedan chairs and carriages coming and going went straight to the mansion without stopping.

Tianjing City is a prosperous place under the feet of the emperor. It is also the annual festival. It should not be so quiet. However, Emperor Chongzhao is old and seriously ill. Seven days ago, he summoned hundreds of monks and Taoists to the Fengtian Hall to pray for the emperor's longevity. To show sincerity, all civil and military officials are forbidden to indulge in wine and S3x, and must purify their bodies and spirits and fast for ten days. They can only be released after the blessing ceremony is over.

I have done few kind deeds in my life, so why should I ask heaven for mercy?
