Outside Ziyun Hall, the guards at the gate had not expected that the Emperor would come at this time. They knelt down and paid their respects to the Emperor.
Emperor Zhao Ping entered the hall and walked into the inner chamber without saying a word.
Because Xiao Jing was in Jiyu's room, Ji Yu's most trusted maidservant had asked everyone else to leave and she was the only one keeping watch for her master. It was around dawn and she was feeling sleepy. The maidservant was dozing when she suddenly saw many people coming towards Jiyu's room.
When the maidservant saw them clearly, Emperor Zhao Ping and Imperial Concubine Xian had arrived.
The maidservant panicked, and just as she was about to pay her respects to Emperor Zhao Ping and alert Jiyu in the room, Emperor Zhao Ping asked, "How is Yu Zhaoyi? No need to wake her up."
The maidservant bowed down and raised her voice to respond loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
