The Empress' Tianfeng Palace was in a mess.
The Fifth Princess was trying to commit suicide! The news was blocked in the palace, for fear that it would spread to those with evil intentions. And then, the story might go like that: the Princess on the throne did such a thing just out of frustration, which would apparently bring disgrace on the royal family. What if it spread to the Emperor? No one would tell how furious the Emperor would be at the news.
The Empress was in an agony about her daughter with a mixed feeling of love and anger. She trotted into the well-guarded main hall.
"Xueyu, Xueyu, what's the matter?" The voice came in before the Empress arrived.
