Ascent To The Throne

The tutor tells the empress that the emperor is crazy, but she doesn't believe him. The empress tells the tutor to go find the emperor, but the tutor refuses to go into the emperor's private room. The tutor asks where the emperor and his wife are, and the lady furong tells him that she has brought his wife with her to find him. When the tutor asks why she is there, she says that she wants to see the emperor. He tells her that she should not stay at the palace all day, because the emperor seems to be "more different than usual." The tutor says that he hasn't taken a walk in a while, because he needs to get home quickly. The furong asks the tutor what he meant to say to the emperor when he said that he wanted to see him. He says that the furong wanted to teach him something, and that he came to the palace to teach the emperor something. She says that this mouth of hiss has become "more vicious," and she asks him to come and see her after he's finished reading this book.
