That night, despite being really upset and depressed due to the unpleasant memories and trauma she experienced in Qin's palace, Rei falls asleep in tears with the help of the sleep-inducing essential oil given by Ben.
The sleep-inducing essential oils work so well that Rei was so sound asleep to a state where she doesn't even realise that the King have visited her before dawn.
"Your Maje..."
Just as Xi Er was about to greet the King, the King give her a hand signal indicating her not to wake her lady up. Xi Er clumsily nodded as she covered her mouth with both of her hands, fearing that she would accidentally make any noise that might wake her lady up.
With the lightest steps possible, the King slowly approached Rei's bed and sat on her bedside without waking her up. He looked at her with eyes filled with concern and unwillingness. He immediately noticed the tear stains on her delicate and slightly pale face.
