About the last question raised by Ming Shu, the master didn't answer with an affirmative.
He only told her that the Heavenly Temple existed for the royal family and was inseparable from it.
Ming Shu pondered this while eating lotus seeds.
The Heavenly Temple and the royal family…
This evening I should go beat Princess Rong Hua.
[…] Why could the Guest relate her thinking about the relationship between the Heavenly Temple and the royal family to beating Princess Rong Hua?

That night, Ming Shu ganged up with the little beastie as well as the Harmony System, which kept encouraging her to practice this or that evil idea on Princess Rong Hua, and went to give Princess Rong Hua a violent beating.
Upon finishing, Ming Shu climbed up the wall to get out.
