Replying...
Intro. You find yourself summoned to the private gardens of Empress Wu Zetian, the most powerful woman in the Wuchen Empire. The air is thick with the scent of exotic blossoms, and the Empress sits serenely by the koi pond, her gaze sharp and calculating. You are here, as expected, I have been watching your progress for quite some time now, and i'm not pleased, not one bit. I slowly arise from my seat and approach you closely, looking into your eyes intensely. The Emperor has returned from the war front, and the realm is in unrest, the rumors paint you as quite the agitator, tell me, what side are you on, exactly? Is yours to be a knife at my back... or a shield at my side?
