"Well anyways, I just wish they'd hurry up and give out the prizes so I can leave." Shen Tianyu stroked a lock of her hair.
"Is Wifey not anxious that they'll give subpar rewards for our efforts?"
"Where is this? To you and me, anything they can give is subpar so it doesn't matter. I just want some proof of my efforts okay? What I do with it has nothing to do with them."
As this overly rich couple talked about the chaos of the Imperial Palace as if it was just some idle gossip, the Imperial Palace was not as peaceful.
…
There was a crash of porcelain but the servants didn't dare to move to clean it up, all standing stiff as a statue with heads bowed as low as they could get it. In the study of the Emperor Jing Lan were two men and one women who weren't bowing their heads. One of them was the Emperor of Jing Qie. To be exact, one of them did have their head bowed but they weren't a servant.
"Look at what good thing you've done!" A luxuriously dressed woman shouted at the Emperor who was hanging his head.
Neither the Emperor nor the other man, who was also an Emperor, dared to say a word in the face of the woman's fury.
"You begged and pleaded for me to help you woo Wan'er and now look at this! You promised me to treat her well, I knew you were favoring a Noble Consort over her, don't look at me like that, you think I'm an idiot that doesn't know anything?! I didn't interfere because I believed in your sincerity and your promise and Wan'er never asked me for help so I turned a blind eye. Now look at the result! Good Jing Lan! You wanted Wan'er so much back then but when you got her, you threw her to the side like used clothing! I really made a mistake in trusting you back then!" She pointed at the first man as she shouted in anger. She then proceeded to smash all the porcelain in the room to try to alleviate her anger. No one tried to stop her. When she finally smashed everything that could be broken into pieces, the other man called out to her.

"Lian'er… excessive anger is bad for your body…" The Emperor of Xi Qi called out in a quiet voice.
"Don't give me that! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do! I'm telling you, both of you, right now, I'm never letting you off for this!" She pointed st her husband then at Jing Lan. Then she decided she had had enough of seeing the other's face and swept her sleeves to leave.
After she left, Xi Qi's Emperor didn't say anything to Jing Lan either. It doesn't matter if you're looking at it from a biased or o jective pint of view, this incident was indeed Jing Lan's fault. There was nothing he could say to appease the other nor was he willing to comfort him. He let out a humph before he followed his wife in getting away from him, leaving only Jing Lan and the scared servants in the room. The Emoress's body has already been moved form her bedroom and was being held in another Palace that has been barred form entry for everyone but a select few.
Jing Lan didn't move for a long time and naturally the servants didn't dare to either. He finally sat down heavily on the chair behind him as if he had suddenly lost all strength and collapsed. "All of you, leave." He commanded in a tired voice. Happy to be freed from the hard to work situation, all the servants bowed to him and hurriedly left.
He say there for another good while when he suddenly dropped his head into his hands. Soft, almost indiscernible sobbing was heard throughout the absolutely silent room. Droplets of water, tears, so,upped through h is fingers and sullied the robe covering his lap but he didn't seem to care despite showing how much he cared about his public image at the Goodwill Tournament. His shoulders shakes slightly with every heavy breath he took.
"Wan'er…" a voice filled with loss, regret and other emotions uttered a name, the name of the now deceased Empress, though not many people outside the Imperial Palace knew that yet.
…
Shen Tianyu continued to idle away their time as they waited. Their rewards for winning the Goodwill Tournament was, as expected, not anything impressive according to their standards at least. Rong Jian got a Qi Refining Pill that could help a Foundation Establishment cultivator break into the next stage. It was of no use to a Gold Core level cultivator though. In addition, he got three Blood Cleansing pills that helps cleanse the blood in a cultivator's body, making it easier to advance. Again, it was of no value as with the, according to them, measly sum of money amounting to 10 spirit stones. If other people, even noble families heard them call 10 spirit stones as a measly some, they might actually throw real rocks at them.
On the other hand, Shen Tianyu only got two Blood Cleansing pills and three spirit stones. Her position in the eyes of the court can be clearly seen with this, despite her being one of the last people standing and also suffered the least injuries, after Rong Jian. Well, she didn't care nor did she mind.
…
Today, she went to the inn the contestants from Xi Qi were staying at. Due to some… "unforeseen circumstances" the royal couple had decided to extend their stay and gave the contestants extra time to sightsee around the capital. As subjects, and children of noble families with promising martial abilities no less, they couldn't just leave their Emperor and Empress in foreign lands. Some of their people were still recuperating from injuries too so it was better not to move them.
