The Queen quietly went to the Crown Prince Mansion to visit the Crown Prince; she needed to find out exactly what was going on!
When she arrived, the Crown Prince was still in a deep sleep, intoxicated from his debauchery the night before. The Queen noticed the faint scent of alcohol clinging to him and his flushed cheeks.
She ordered the servants to fetch a basin of cold water, dismissed everyone, and poured the water directly over the Crown Prince's head.
The icy shock jolted the Crown Prince awake abruptly. Just as he was about to lash out, he wiped the water from his face and saw the Queen standing there, her expression dark as ink.
"Mother!" The Crown Prince snapped into full alertness.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, the Queen scolded, "What manner of conduct is this?! You didn't drink that much last night—speak! What really happened?"
