Zheng Haoyuan obediently took his medicine and lied down on the bed. After everyone thought he had fallen asleep and the palace maids had dozed off, he quietly opened his eyes.
The palace maid on the ground had been replaced, but Zheng Haoyuan was even more unfamiliar with this one, unsure if he had ever seen her in the Bushou Palace.
Zheng Haoyuan tiptoed past the palace maid snoozing at the foot of his bed and slipped out the door. He was unfamiliar with the yard of the Traveling Palace, but it was much simpler than the Imperial Palace, and the security patrol of the passageways was not as tight.
Upon leaving the yard, Zheng Haoyuan remembered he didn't know Eunuch Ho Sheng's whereabouts at that moment. But he couldn't bear the thought of going back. Should he go looking for his cousin?
Zheng Haoyuan hesitated; he needed to find out what exactly Ho Sheng had said.
