Liwen, the leaders of each FengFuang troop, and the selected FengHuang soldiers of the Deer Troop, with the carriage carrying Hae-nim entered the main entrance of the Forbidden City, which was the Merdian Gate.
Liwen mounted off her horse and bowed in front of the carriage. "Your Majesty, we are here. You are home." she informed Hae-nim.
Hae-nim slightly lifted up the red thick curtains of the carriage's window that was separating her from Liwen, and saw she was indeed home. She saw the familiar structure of only few of the many beautiful buildings inside the palace complex.
"Her Imperial Majesty has arrived!"
Flags with Phoenix embroidered on it were raised up high in the air throughout the entire imperial palace complex. Ministers to nobles, imperial soldiers to palace servants gathered at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the main throne inside the Forbidden City.
All were smiling, all were thrilled for the return of their beautiful ruler.
Hae-nim wore her mask as the carriage stopped in front of the Hall of the Supreme Harmony. Everyone went down to their knees and deeply bowed as Hae-nim stepped out of the carriage.
"Your Majesty!"
Hae-nim smiled happily as she glanced around. "I am home." she mumbled and looked up at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. "Where is Yao?"
Liwen stood behind Hae-nim with her head down. "Your Majesty, he was the only one who has yet to know of your arrival. Just as you ordered, no one told him about your return." she informed.
Hae-nim nodded with satisfaction and glanced down at her heart, which was covered by her white cloak. She was lucky Sun Woo's sword missed her heart, if not, she would return home in a coffin.
"Order someone to find Yao and tell him that someone wants to see him outside the infirmary." she told Liwen.
Liwen nodded. "As you wish, Your Majesty." she replied and bowed before walking to a nearby soldier and whispered Hae-nim's orders in his ear.
Hae-nim sighed softly and walked up the flight of stairs towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. 'I have a lot of work to do. My people and my country needs me.'

Hae-nim stood in front of the infirmary inside the Forbidden City. She stared at one of the many buildings she spent most of her time in. She smiled when she heard rushed footsteps behind her before it stopped and knew it was Hui Yao.
