Dowager Imperial Concubine's palace
It was a little after 8 pm, Dowager concubine Sheng say by her open window looking out at the star-filled sky. She had picked up the habit of sky gazing ever since she had lost her father and son. For the first two days after her, they were executed, she never stood from the sear by the window. The servants had interpreted that as madness but that was far from the truth. To her star gazing was all that kept her sane after she had lost the two most important people in her life on the same day.
