In the Shouning Palace.
Empress Qi of Daqi sat upright on her phoenix throne, her gaze lowered in silence, naturally commanding the majesty of all under heaven.
In the echoes of hastening footsteps, the anxious Crown Prince approached with concern, "Mother, what urgent matter called for my presence?"
The palace maidens stood by, eyes downcast and breathing softly, trying their utmost to reduce their presence.
Empress Qi's gaze fell upon her bowing and earnest son and she asked in a subdued voice, "Are you aware of what happened with He Zhen?"
Jiang Wuhua let out a sigh of relief, then sighed again, "Your son is aware. It is said that He Zhen caused a disturbance in the market by driving recklessly, alarming the citizens, and was apprehended by the Patrol Inspection Bureau."
Empress Qi's voice, ever dignified, gently added, "Now that you know, refrain from any unnecessary actions."
