As for the Empress's matter, the Fourth Master wishes to investigate, and it cannot be hidden.
It all depends on the Fourth Master's intentions.
Clearly, this time, the Fourth Master wants to investigate.
And so he did.
Therefore, on the eighth day, just the day before Gun Gun's birthday, Getuken presented the information on the Fourth Master's desk.
After reading it, the Fourth Master forcibly restrained himself from immediately ordering the execution of the Ulaanala clan.
This reason cannot be spoken.
Nor can the Empress be dealt with immediately, for tomorrow is Gun Gun's birthday, his eighth.
He doesn't want a malicious woman to cause the child unhappiness.
Gun Gun had previously begged him for a fine sword, and he had promised to give it to him on his birthday.
If he were to deal with that venomous woman now, there would be unrest in the imperial harem and in the court. Gun Gun wouldn't be able to celebrate his birthday.
