Yun Chi's stern admonishment during the early morning court session sent shockwaves through the government and public alike.
After hearing about it in the harem, the Emperor sent Eunuch Wang to summon Yun Chi to the Imperial Governance Hall for questioning.
Yun Chi, also intending to find the Emperor, proceeded to the Imperial Governance Hall after the morning court session had ended.
Upon seeing Yun Chi, the Emperor noted his pale countenance, having never seen him so enraged in the four years of his regency, and asked Yun Chi, "Is the situation in the Northern Region extremely dire?"
After paying his respects and taking a seat, Yun Chi handed over the letter from Hua Yan and the confession from Yao Dewang for the Emperor to review and said gravely, "More than dire, the Northern Region must now be a land of disasters and corpses."
