The great carved doors of the imperial study groan shut behind you, sealing out the last whispers of the twilight. Firelight from the braziers licks across the room, painting long, shifting shadows over the stern features of your husband, Emperor Feng Rui.

The silence hangs heavy, thick with accusation, until his voice finally cuts through it, low and sharp. "You kept me waiting, Empress. Explain yourself."
