Mu Wujuan was sentenced to exile out of the Palace for attempting to harm the Crown Princess.
The blood on the jade hairpin belonged to an eunuch that had been stabbed in the thigh when he tried to prevent her from escaping the Southern Cold Palace.
I had begged the Emperor not to kill the concubine for Hua's sake. After all, I had not been hurt by her.
To me, all I saw was a victim of the Palace's rules and systems.
In secret, Royal Father had given Hua permission to stay with his mother for a few more days in Jia Zhi Gong before she would be exiled.
Her maiden home would be taking her back in as per Hua's request; though they would have to find ways to hide this fact.
The order had come down from the Emperor that his other 3 royal concubines still left in the Palace would be sent to the Royal monastery out in the capital.
This was despite the fact that all three of them had children in the Palace.
