The Emperor's palace, the Emperor's living room.
Emperor Zhong picked up the freshly drafted rolled-up Imperial decree lying on the stool beside his throne and handed it over to Cuihong. He glanced at Lu Yaozhu, which was all Cuihong needed. Holding the Decree, he went down the stairs and passed the decree to Lu Yaozhu. He went back up the low stairs and stood behind the Emperor.
