The maid Chu Yue was previously executed by Emperor Qin Huan but was actually sealed in a dungeon. Now Concubine Rong is accompanied by a palace maid named Zixing.
When Zi Xing saw such a large group of people surrounding Guanju Palace, he panicked immediately and ran back to Rong Fei to report. It happened that Wang Chonghai walked into the hall and bowed to Rong Fei when he saw her.

Concubine Rong remained calm on the surface and asked Wang Chonghai, "But what have I done wrong that Chief Steward Wang is conducting such a large-scale palace search? Is this a decree from His Majesty?"
