Within the Nanchu Royal Palace, Nangong Yin had been waiting outside the sleeping palace of the Nanchu King for one hour, but he did not hear anything from inside.
He had no choice but to ask Li He, "Eunuch Li, what is wrong with His Majesty today? Is he not up yet?"
Li He nodded, and respectfully replied, "Sir Nangong, His Majesty has not been able to sleep or eat well recently. He only managed to fall asleep around the fourth watch of the night last night. He's only been asleep for less than two hours so far. He decided to take a break from court matters today. Can we let him sleep a little longer?"
Nangong Yin frowned and asked, "What happened last night? I heard that Ye Guixue visited His Majesty late at night, is that true?"
