Qin Baichu, His Majesty's older sister, had recognized his potential early on when the Qin Emperor was still an unachieved Crown Prince and had given him tremendous support.
Even after the Qin Emperor ascended the throne, although he was quite harsh towards other members of the imperial family—to the point where many relatives suffered collateral consequences and severe punishment—he showed immense favoritism towards his Imperial Sister.
Years ago, Qin Baichu had left the Capital and had been gone for more than a decade.
The Qin Emperor had issued multiple decrees, ordered local governments, and conducted secret investigations to find the whereabouts of the Princess.
Later, when Qin Baichu returned to the Capital, the Qin Emperor afforded her great respect, not only allowing her to reside within The Palace but also making available Fengming Palace, which should have been reserved for the Empress, as her chambers.
