"Do not worry, Empress Dowager, I know," the Emperor said, casting a loving glance at the Empress, unable to express the excitement in his heart. On the journey back, he heard that the rebels had breached the Imperial Palace, so he hurried back with ten thousand elite soldiers.
Prince Ten's rebellion seemed not to be premeditated, more like a sudden impulse, so the number of rebels was not large. (Prince Ten wanted to control the harem first and use the Emperor's wives, children, and mother to threaten him, but caught none, which was indeed tragic.)
The Emperor returned unharmed, thanks to the guard given to him by the Empress. His anxiousness to get back left him sleepless, and he encountered assassins sent by Prince Ten. It was the guard from the Empress who discovered the assassins and protected him safely.
The Emperor had no idea before that there could be such talented individuals around the Empress.
