The Imperial Palace, the Emperor's study
Emperor Zhong was fuming as he left the audience hall, he didn't bother answering any of the salutes given by the palace servant. News of the current bad mood had spread all over the palace, most servants avoided taking any of his usual routes. Emperor Zhong was too angry to notice the scarceness of the palace servant.
He walked past the palace office and the other head offices, each stride longer and firmer than the rest. The Emperor's palace servant registered under his household that was part of his regular company hastened their steps, a few resulted in running to catch up with him. But the Crown Prince who wasn't mobile when compared to the others fell behind on the way.
