As Pei Zhan was leaving the palace, he happened to run into Fu Zhen carrying a vase out.
"Did you see the Empress?" he asked.
Fu Zhen nodded: "We'll talk when we get back."
The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief as they left the palace and returned home, sitting down in their room.
"How is the situation on the Emperor's side?" Fu Zhen asked first.
"The Emperor asked me to confirm the situation in Dongzi first. If it's true, we'll make a decision together with the Ministry of War." Pei Zhan answered, eagerly asking her, "What about Kunning Palace?"
Fu Zhen set the vase down, took a deep breath and said, "As we expected, the problem stems from the Emperor."
Then she detailed the events that took place at Kunning Palace earlier, "We don't know what the Emperor did that night in Huzhou."
"The truth of the matter is probably known only to those three people. It's a pity the Empress refuses to reveal the facts, and I don't dare to ask further."
