Sang Zhi was ostracized by the palace staff for being 'inauspicious.' His happiest moments were his studies on Lou Mountain. Now the Emperor had stripped even that away from him. 'The little traditionalist must be heartbroken right now.'
She suspected the reason for Sang Zhi's forced withdrawal from school was related to the Crown Prince. Although there were also Honey Sucking Nests in the Imperial Palace, not even a single insect could fly into the Imperial Study or the Emperor's chambers.
