A man walked through the Palace halls silently, it was almost as if he was a spirit, gliding through the halls. There was a weird dominating aura around him, as he neared the doors where a figure sat calmly, spreading their herbs and setting them into different categories.
The figure didn't raise their head when the other entered silently, and it wasn't because they didn't know the latter had entered the room. The figure waited patiently for the other to speak.
"They are in Longdu, Qang'an Mountains. In the Emperesses holiday home."
"Really?" came a smooth, melodic voice.
"Affirmative."
"Alright then," replied the other whilst putting the herbs down and turned their head slightly to look at the man out of the corner of their eye, "You know what to do."
The man bowed.
"You may leave now."
The man bowed and turned to leave again before the figure spoke up again.
"Do not get attached," was all the figure said.
The man was confused but his face didn't show any changes and bowed again before walking out.
