Chapter 13: You Are Not a Piece of Anyone
"No," said Qinghe.
The word rang off the white walls of the Hall of the Mirror.
Yan Chenxi did not flinch.
"You have not heard what I am offering."
"I have heard enough. You cut him out of your chest, and now you want him back like a coat you left on a hook."
Forty ministers breathed in together.
Yan Taiheng lifted one hand from the arm of his dragon throne, and the Hall went still.
"A severed heart belongs to the body it was cut from," he said. "This is the law of the Nine Heavens."
"Then the law is wrong," Qinghe said.
"He has a name, a throne, a Marshal and a bad habit of leaving boots in doorways. He is a man."
Beside her, Jinye made a small sound.
She did not look at him, because if she looked, she would see his face.
"Heaven will rule on the matter," the Emperor said. "You will wait for the decree."
"I will wait in the Blood Moon Palace," said Qinghe. "You know where to send it."
She turned her back on the dragon throne.
She walked out of the Hall of the Mirror with her fingers locked around Jinye's.
No one in that white circle dared to stop her.
Jinye's black cloud was waiting at the edge of the Ninth Heaven.
He did not speak while it fell through the Heavens, and he did not speak when its red light touched the Abyss.
He did not speak when they reached the Moon Gallery.
It was a long open hall on the palace's eastern side.
Red pillars stood on one side, and on the other there was nothing but the Abyss and a swollen moon.
Black stone floor, a rug of dark wolf fur, one hundred lanterns that his servants had lit against the evening.
