Long Yue, disguised as Yang Zhuoya's close maid, entered the Imperial Palace under the guise of a visit. After bidding farewell to Zhuoya, she found a secluded spot, used a drug to knock out a passing palace maid, and hid her in an abandoned hall, quietly slipping away.
Long Yue was quite familiar with the Imperial Palace, and even more so with Qi Yun's sleeping quarters.
However, she was very cautious, even with the human skin mask on, she worried about being recognized, so she walked like the other palace maids, slightly lowering her head, taking small steps.
Long Yue was less than three months pregnant, not visibly showing, looking no different from others, and thus didn't attract attention as she passed.
Ahead was Qi Yun's bedroom.
Just as she was about to proceed, she suddenly saw a palace maid carrying a tray at the corner, walking furtively with a eunuch.
Long Yue's sense of alertness heightened, she hurriedly hid to the side and listened carefully.
