Su Jin couldn't explain herself no matter how hard she tried. She was careless, not expecting anyone to dare to falsely convey an imperial decree at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion. But it was okay, the eunuch who delivered the decree to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion could testify for her along with the entire household.
The Empress wanted to imprison Su Jin, and Eunuch Fu could only do his best to protect her. Fortunately, as the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor, his words still carried weight in the palace.
The standoff persisted, and then the Emperor arrived.
Seeing Chaohua Palace surrounded by flames, the Emperor trembled with anger.
After Consort Yun's passing, Chaohua Palace was burned once. The Emperor wanted to rebuild the palace, but both the Empress Dowager and the Empress obstructed him, citing the depletion of the National Treasury as the reason.
The Emperor, against all opposition, insisted on the reconstruction.
Unexpectedly, it burned again!
