On the other side…
After the empress dowager's drawing of the handsome man was seen by Ye Jingtang, she had been feeling uneasy and asked Hongyu to ask around. In the end, she heard that the Prince of Jing and the empress hadn't gone to bed yet and were preparing to take a bath at the Bright Yang Pool.
Hearing this, the empress dowager brought her palace maids to the Bright Yang Pool, only to see the Prince of Jing's maids waiting outside. There was no sign of the empress's honor guard.
Seeing that the empress hadn't come yet, the empress dowager had a chance to be alone with the Prince of Jing, so she hurriedly entered the hall.
The hot spring pool was only lit by a few dim lanterns. The light was very dim, and other than the flowing of the spring water, there was no sound.
