Knock, knock~
In the magnificent resting palace, Dongfang Liren knocked lightly on the door and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she pushed open the bedchamber door.
Squeak!
The rain outside the window was pattering, and the palace lanterns under the eaves emitted dim yellow light, illuminating the elegant outer room. Wisps of breeze swept in, and the green jade bead curtain swayed gently in the room.
The room was very quiet and seemed to be empty.
Dongfang Liren entered and wanted to call out, "Your Majesty?"
But just as she stepped through the door, the door behind her was closed. Then two hands reached out from behind her and covered her eyes.
?!
Dongfang Liren's expression changed drastically. She thought that she had been ambushed by an unknown rebel in the empress's bedchamber, but how could there be such an ambush?
