The Emperor and the Empress were having a conversation as they had their tea. "Your Majesty, could you please not take your order back? I want to see my son," Deng Hui asked and requested at the same time.
"Empress Hui, it is not possible. Nianzu wanted this. I granted his request. I thought after Weng Wei would be punished, he would feel happy here. But this Palace life never provided that happiness," Han Wenji explained to Deng Hui.
"Your Majesty, then will he never return? I am his mother. How am I supposed to live without my son? Please, bring him home. I beg you, your majesty." Deng Hui pleaded with the Emperor. However, he did not agree with her.
"I already passed an order. I cannot take it back. Nianzu wanted to marry a commoner, and I think he would have even married her. If our son gets his happiness by living that way, then we shall let him live like that," Han Wenji affirmed. Deng Hui peered at the Emperor with skepticism.
