The Empress Residence -
Yang Lingxin was resting in her chamber and having a cup of tea along with some fresh seasonal fruits after her afternoon meal.
While sipping on her tea, she looked at her maid indifferently who was kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly, "Did you do what I asked you to do?"
To talk to her maid in private, she sent all the servants outside and asked them to close the door. At the moment, she was alone in the chamber with her personal maid who is like her right hand at the palace and does all kinds of tasks for her.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As you had ordered, I have handed the scented incense stick and natural oils to the guard who was guarding His Majesty's chamber."
"He said that he will ignite the incense stick in the chamber and will also put the natural oil in the hot water. I have seen him going inside His Majesty's chamber myself." The maid answered while still kneeling on the ground.
