Leng Yu Yan was about to wake Madam Lai when suddenly footsteps were heard from outside, quick-paced, accompanied by the voice of the maid from earlier.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to stay up late, but the words of the Old Madam are too frightening."
From the sound of the footsteps, quite a few people were approaching. Leng Yu Yan's figure flashed as she leapt out of the window.

Back in her own room at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Leng Yu Yan took out the flint about to light the lamp when Ye Yiheng's cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Back already?"
Just now she had frightened Madam Lai into fainting, and now she was nearly scared faint by his sudden appearance.
Her hand trembled, opening the lid of the flint, and she composed herself, blowing gently, and lit the lamp.
The room brightened, and Leng Yu Yan put on the Luminous Glass Lampshade before she turned to him.
"Your Highness, why have you come here?"
