Anning wanted peace, but couldn't find it.
She had just finished breakfast when Cui Yu arrived and whispered, "Empress, Consort Li and Consort Wu have just fought over a jade bracelet in the imperial garden."
Anning massaged her temples, "Go, have the people from the Judicial Department take one person from Consort Li and Consort Wu's sides, give them each ten strokes, and then confine Consort Li and Consort Wu for a month. Each must copy 'Women's Rules' five times, and they won't come out until finished."
Cui Yu hesitated for a moment, "Yes, this servant will convey the Empress's orders immediately."
Anning waved her hand, and Cui Yu withdrew.
Shortly after Cui Yu left, Anning heard a burst of crying.
"Empress, Empress, you must stand up for me."
It was Consort Li's voice.
Anning frowned deeply.
"What's going on? Did I not order Consort Li to be confined? How did she manage to come here?"
