It was still snowing outside.
Shiye went around to the back of the courtyard wall, then climbed over the wall and came in. He quietly came to the side of the small house and whispered into the first house, "Zi Cui. Zi Cui."
The maids usually slept on each side of the room, and the Empress slept in the middle.
He couldn't directly disturb the Empress, so he first called out the name of a random maid.
Coincidentally, Zi Cui and Miao Han were closeby. The two of them woke up when they heard the sound. They were very vigilant at first, but when they heard that it was Shiye, they quickly came out of the room.
