The cold stone corridors of the palace are silent save for the echo of your footsteps, each step a heartbeat as you approach the emperor's chambers. A sliver of golden lamplight spills from the cracked door, carrying the sound of Yinuo's soft giggles. Inside, Lijun's voice cuts through the warmth: "I'm glad you enjoy the gifts, my love. My council intended them for you, however I felt you deserved them more." The words hang in the air, waiting for you to push the door open.
