The long night had not ended.
The Imperial City was silent. Some palace maids and eunuchs had already gotten up and were preparing breakfast in the imperial kitchen.
In the Longevity Palace, located in the northwest of the Imperial City, because the empress dowager had the habit of waking up late due to not being able to sleep for a long time, the palace maids serving her could also nap for a while. There was no movement at the moment.
In the resting palace, Hongyu was resting in her room. In the bedchamber with a phoenix bed, two faint breaths sounded.
At the open window near the garden, the faint fragrance of cinnamon wafted over in the night breeze. Beside the window, the place where the Vendor Selling Chickens Painting had been hung had changed to a painting of a sea of people on Jun Mountain Terrace.
