"It seems that the old lady of the Song Family has given strict orders not to pass on messages. Master, it seems things aren't going well with the one in the palace," Madam Guan said, knitting her eyebrows together.
Duke Dingguo nodded: "In the morning court, the Emperor didn't appear, not even Song Yunzhi, and they announced a court day off. It must be that something happened to the Emperor, though we don't know what."
The Emperor's absence and just letting the eunuchs announce a court day off is not good news. It could cause ministers to be suspicious, but the lack of explanation makes people think even more.
