The palace maid choked out, "My name is Chunying, and I am a palace maid of Consort Lin."
Kangxi: "Tell me when you discovered that Consort Lin was gone?"
Chunying: "About fifteen minutes ago, Your Highness got up in the middle of the night, saying you were thirsty. I went out to prepare some tea, but when I came back, I couldn't wake you.

If it weren't for the accident, there would have been even more commotion!
