Every morning, just after the sun rise the dowager empress would go greet her husband, lying in the decorated casket, pale and rigid from death. She'd kneel in front of the coffin,light incense, burn paper money and pray for the peace of soul in afterlife. After couple of hours, her maids would accompany her from the hall to the quarters, the empress is staying since arriving Gusu.
By the time she reach her rooms, her eyes are blood red from crying, but not a single sound can be heard from her. Grief and sorrow has been tying her heart like deathly vines, squeezing the very life out of it everyday. She has lost her husband- her mate! her home in span of one night, and now her son is seeking revenge for his father's murder. She knows that the prince would return victorious, but she as a mother cannot help but worry.
Her mating bond with her husband had become almost non-existent, as is bound to happen. Both of them being alphas, the broken bond won't have any backlash on her person unlike one does if it's between alpha and omega mates.
When one of the mates dies, the broken bond has some backlashes on the remaining one. As - falling grievously ill, suffering from ill health for prolonged time , stop having ruts or heats, or in some cases the omega dies due to the broken bond after death of their alpha counterparts. Bonds and scent markings are necessary part of a relationship, that's why they shouldn't be handled callously or flippantly.
The maid assigned to the dowager empress rushed to make tea and prepare breakfast, after making sure that the empress had sobered up enough. Just as she's about to pour tea for The dowager empress there is a knock at the door, The dowager empress smiles at the closed door knowing all well just who's standing just behind it, "go and bring him inside, and prepare an additional serving also".
The door revealed Lan Wangji.
