"Come with me, I'll take you to see Lady Li Zhi," Taosu said.
Then, she led Suo Lun, who was disguised as a woman, to Lady Li Zhi's courtyard.
The maidservant standing outside was very surprised to see Taosu seeking an audience so late, saying, "Lady Taosu, the mistress has already been asleep for quite some time."
Taosu said, "It's a matter of utmost urgency, very important."
The maidservant of Li Zhi said, "Alright, I'll go ask."
Then, she went inside.
A moment later, she came out and said, "The mistress is very displeased, but she has agreed to see you."
Taosu led Suo Lun into Lady Li Zhi's courtyard, into her bedroom.

Due to inner turmoil, Lady Li Zhi had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and had just managed to doze off for less than two hours when she was woken up, her face full of displeasure.
At this point, she had removed her makeup, revealing her true face.
