"Emperor, the affair has unfolded just as I've related, and I dare not withhold any detail," Lin Yue, wholly unacquainted with the Emperor and unable to fathom his thoughts at that moment, was unsure of what had displeased him. Was it outrage at the palace folks' wrongdoings, or was it because she had caused such a stir upon her first entry to the palace?
Huangfu Jing, of course, did not blame Lin Yue, but was angry about the ceaseless indiscretions within the palace. It was Lin Yue's misfortune to encounter such incidents upon her arrival, which must have given her a dreadful impression of the place. Seeing Lin Yue's genuine fear and trepidation softened his heart. After all, though wed, she was still a young girl at heart, and her composure under the circumstances was impressive. He feared he had frightened her.
