Outside the gate of Cining Palace, a slender figure knelt resolutely on the ground, the candlelight in the lanterns on either side illuminating her face—it was Luluo, the maid of Grand Princess Huilan.
The shadow of Luluo was stretched long, accentuating her petite and helpless figure. There she knelt, her face already wet with tears.
"You're seeking an audience with the Empress Dowager at this hour, isn't it..." Guessing her intention, the eunuch of Cining Palace heaved a heavy sigh, "Our Empress Dowager has a soft heart, but she may not wish to involve herself in such matters, right?"
Luluo sniffled, quickly wiped the tears from her face, and said with a resolute expression, "This servant knows it's troublesome for the Empress Dowager, but please, eunuch, relay this message for me. Just say that Luluo comes with the bracelet from that day, asking for an audience."
The eunuch sighed and could only enter the Cining Palace. He soon returned and brought Luluo inside.
