Qiao Mai silently watched the two interact, ate the food they had prepared, and only then went to her guest room to rest.
In the stillness of the night, she walked out of her guest room and scanned her surroundings.
The entire guest courtyard seemed empty of any hidden figures. With a graceful leap, she landed on the rooftop and headed towards the imperial palace.
The ancient imperial palace, much like the modern one, was similar in terms of architecture, nomenclature, and the arrangement of the main palace, as well as the east, south, west, and north palaces.
She passed by several hidden sentries and arrived at the emperor's sleeping chamber.
Dressed in black attire and wearing a headscarf, she silently sat beside the emperor's bed.
All those who were attending to him had fallen unconscious.
Qiao Mai wasn't a doctor, but she had developed her spiritual senses to observe the internal structure of the emperor's body.
