Ling-Tau escorts Ping-Cho to these private chambers in Kublai Khan's Peking palace after the throne room audience. She transitions here from interrogated subject to trusted court figure, choosing to stay over returning to Samarkand. The space provides solitude for reflection amid deadly intrigues—silk screens and low lanterns create quiet shadows, distant echoes of guards underscore her fragile elevation, sharpening her resolve in the empire's heart.
