The old lady, with her sweet tooth, had Wuyang acting as her handyman all day at home. Wuyang would one moment hear, "Miss Gu, I'm hungry, I want candied fruit," and the next, "Miss Gu, I'm thirsty, I want to drink green bean soup, the super sweet kind..."
When he got back to the villa, Wuyang was deeply questioning his life.
Prince An saw him in his room and asked, "How did it go? Did you see the Empress Dowager?"
Wuyang appeared rather unsettled, "I did see her..."
But was that really the Empress Dowager?
Wuyang shared his miserable experience of the day with Prince An.
Prince An was shocked. He recalled that yesterday in the village, he seemed to have heard some strange things coming out of the Empress Dowager's mouth. He was so excited at the time that he didn't take it to heart. Although he later realized what she must be doing, he thought she was pretending to be insane and fooling the Gu family who were guarding her.
