At midnight, the Imperial City was engulfed in silence, with only a full moon hanging high in the sky.
In the hostel, Qi Yu stood by the window for a while and caught sight of a black figure dashing towards him from the direction of the Imperial Palace, slightly raising his eyebrows.
It wasn't long before a faint knocking sound came from outside the room.
Qi Yu opened the door, and the newcomer took off the black veil that had been covering their face, revealing a beautiful face—it was Shi Zhou.
"How are things in the palace?" Qi Yu welcomed her into the room and poured her a cup of tea while asking.
Shi Zhou took the teacup, sipped with an indifferent air, and then said, "Just as you predicted, someone indeed poisoned the Emperor's sleeping pills."
Qi Yu's eyes twinkled, and he said with a somewhat mocking tone, "I suppose the second Prince must be quite restless now."
