Princess Consort Zhuang was furious with Princess Consort Wan's impulsiveness tonight, which had forced them to abandon a plan they had prepared for a long time. Thus, when sending the message, she deliberately had the words, "The Emperor has followed Song Jieyu to Wangyou Palace," spoken very loudly.
Outside the hall, Yun Dai heard the voices inside suddenly fall silent and felt a surge of immense satisfaction. She turned and left. The palace attendants on duty outside didn't dare to breathe.
They couldn't afford to offend Princess Consort Zhuang's Chief Palace Maid, but they couldn't afford to offend the mistresses inside the hall either. All they could do was lower their heads and pretend to be mute.
When Princess Consort Wan learned the Emperor had gone to Wangyou Palace, she was so angry she nearly fainted on the spot. Fortunately, she managed to hold herself together long enough to leave, but no one present could miss her awful complexion.
