He summons Yue Ling Er, the sister of the former prime minister of the previous dynasty, Yue Chi, who had been missing for two years, to serve in the palace. Yue Chi, deeply protective of his sister, cannot bear to see her suffer in the palace. He also grows suspicious of Huo Jing Heng’s recent focus on people and matters from the former dynasty, fearing the emperor might initiate a purge of old officials.
