Within the Imperial Palace, Kaihuang heard from Mozi the tale of the ghosts and monsters of the Path of Life and Death and the differences from the Path of Ghosts and Gods. He then understood that the incident in Fengdu County City was purely a disaster they had encountered, rather than someone intentionally helping the Crown Prince to kill all those officials.
At that moment, Empress Dugu entered the palace with her entourage, smiling as she said, "Mozi is here as well. Why not stay and have a meal with us?"
By then, the maidservant beside Empress Dugu had already taken out the Emperor and Empress's dinner from the food box.
Four dishes and one soup, three of which were vegetarian.
Upon closer inspection, the soup was also cabbage and tofu soup.
How nice.
"Today, this servant went out and encountered chicken... um... with wings, so tonight's meal is improved; I won't stay and disturb Kaihuang and the Empress," Mozi said.
After saying that, Mozi turned and left.
