Taihe Palace.
The Emperor lay on the Dragon Couch to recuperate.
He felt uncomfortable all over.
Although he was previously stung by a wasp, the injury was only on his buttocks, and his upper body could still move.
Now his back was severely injured, and his arms were in pain.
Any movement caused him to inhale sharply from the pain.
The Emperor needed to rest quietly, and with his foul mood, no one dared to disturb him.
Even the Empress wanting to confess was stopped outside the hall.
"Empress, please return; the Emperor will not see anyone," the eunuch said.
"Go inform the Emperor that I am here to confess," the Empress said with a cold face.
Unwilling to admit her mistake in the first place, being blocked outside the hall made the Empress quite displeased.
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and then turned to report.
The Emperor frowned, "Admitting a mistake?"
He recalled the Marquis Dongxiang's confession.
