In the Capital of the Hua State, a sudden, multicolored display of clouds appeared above the Ancestral Temple. The radiant glow bathed the temple below, as if coating it in a layer of dazzling gold.
Lord Chancellor Xie Yizhou received word and arrived at the temple immediately. Other court officials quickly followed.
"Why has such a heavenly omen suddenly appeared?" asked Jiang Yue, Minister of Revenue. His expression was grave. He exchanged a look with the Lord Chancellor, and both men remained silently alert, watching their surroundings. They were both concerned that someone might be secretly targeting the Empress Regnant, especially since she had been absent from the court for quite some time.
