Beauty Wen, who was considered to be in the Emperor’s utmost favor, is dead.
The death came without warning.
It was entirely unexpected.
The inner court is gripped by anxiety, with no one knowing what truly happened.
The rumors of Beauty Wen committing adultery are simply impossible.
A favorite concubine would have to be out of her mind to involve herself with a palace guard.
While undercurrents roil through the inner court, Zhaochun Hall remains a haven of tranquility.
Bai Wutong sits on the daybed, her heart softening as she gazes at her two children. They are her own flesh and blood, her only concern in this world.
After cradling Zhang Yunhe, she moves to hold Zhang Yunxi.
Seeing their little faces, which bear a striking resemblance to her own, a smile tugs at the corner of Bai Wutong’s mouth.
Chan'er approaches on tiptoe, careful not to wake the two imperial princes. "Your Ladyship, word has come from Wuyou Palace. Wen Chuyun has barred her doors, claiming to be ill and unable to receive visitors."
