Zhaoyang Palace.
The palace maids from Yizhu Pavilion tried to console Jiang Xian for a while, but when they found it was no use, Mian Xia had to bite the bullet and come herself. She was hoping to appeal to the Noble Consort, banking on the friendship between their mistresses. Liang Yuyin was on night duty at Zhaoyang Palace. He was all too aware that Jiang Xian was the apple of the Emperor's eye right now, not to mention she was injured...
Putting the two together, Liang Yuyin nodded. "Alright, I'll risk offending the Lady and go announce Noble Lady Gu. But whether the Emperor is willing to come is not something I can decide."
To his surprise, the junior palace maid looked embarrassed. "Chief Liang, our mistress doesn't want to see the Emperor..."
...
The two were fast asleep when Liang Yuyin walked in, head bowed deferentially, and woke the Emperor.
Seeing the commotion, the Noble Consort guessed someone had come to poach the Emperor.
