Sheng Xiyan pricked up her ears when she heard footsteps, pushed Xuan Ling away, and crawled under the dragon table, where she was blocked by the tablecloths.
Empress Duan came in and saw Emperor Xuanwu concentrating on reading a memorial.
She took the opportunity to look around, trying to find any clues.
