Consort Feng spends the night outside the palace.

Back in the palace, the emperor finally returned to his palace with the Noble Consort. He didn't speak until they had reached his room where he sat her down first on the bed and began to examine her. "Are you sure you weren't hurt at all?"

Zhan Yanhui shook her head slowly when she saw how agitated he was at the moment. She even smiled slightly to reassure him. "I am alright. She didn't even manage to come near me at all."

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard her words. "Then why did you kill her?"

His noble consort shook her head and dragged him towards a mirror nearby and pointed to his reflection through it, saying. "She saw your eyes, Wenkui. You almost lost control today so you need to enter seclusion as soon as possible. I will discuss with Grandmother so we can come up with a plan to cover up your absence."
