In the royal study room it was a total mess. The desk and the censer were overturned on the ground, and books and papers were scattered everywhere.
What happened?
Well, let's review…
Ming Shu suspected it was the emperor himself who schemed the kidnapping and he was just crying "Thief!" as the true thief. He had hidden Princess Rong Hua away so as to frame her.
The emperor was naturally angry at this accusation. He scolded Ming Shu for talking nonsense and showing no respect to His Majesty.
A fierce debate then played out between the two, and it got more and more violent, to the point of a fight.
Correct, they had a fight. Sensing that the number of "enemies" was too many for her, Ming Shu ordered the guards hidden around her to come out, and then…
The fight was on. That's why the royal study room ended up in such a messy condition.
