Chapter 349 - The Empress

Song Mei did not come to you. You went to Song Mei. This was not a rule she'd stated — she didn't state rules, she embodied them — but it was a law of the villa the way gravity was a law of the earth, and everyone understood it without being told. If you wanted the Empress's attention, you went to where she was, which was always exactly where she'd been the last time you looked, because Song Mei did not move without purpose and her purpose was always already in motion.
