The news of the Empress being placed under house arrest in Kunning Palace spread throughout the entire imperial palace like a gust of wind, leaving many shocked and stunned.
It must be known that just a few days ago, the Emperor and Empress were deeply in love, with His Majesty staying overnight at Kunning Palace for several days. How could she suddenly be placed under house arrest?
The most important point is that the Empress had been in the palace for nearly twenty years, and although she wasn't the sole favorite, the Emperor always respected this wife of his. Even though she was childless, it had not affected her status. The sudden house arrest, on the charge of offending the Emperor and being spoiled and arrogant, was utterly astonishing.
Such news aroused great curiosity, with everyone strenuously trying to find out what exactly the Empress had done to offend His Majesty.
