Ren Baqian dashed towards the other caretakers and cupped his hands in salute. He shouted for a few odd-job workers to shift a cart load of ice chunks and followed the soldiers into the palace.
There was a passage between the palace door and the beast park. After checking through the ice chunks and the identities of the few of them, they were admitted into the palace.

This time round, he was much more relaxed.
