Jifeng and Jiyu, two Imperial Shadow Guards, had not been seen for a year and a half. Their appearance and voices remained unchanged, but they looked more haggard than when they were living in seclusion in the countryside.
After the fire in the Mental Cultivation Hall a year and a half ago, both of them were poisoned and injured. The detoxification and healing took a long time, and their skills were no longer as good as before.
These two were amusing, addicted to disguises.
They returned to the palace without removing their human skin masks.
Lin Qingluo had no interest in the tragic stories of the two Shadow Guards, her gaze only briefly stopped at their faces before she looked away.

As night deepened, the singing and dancing in the Mental Cultivation Hall came to an abrupt halt.
The Empress was tired and dismissed the singing girls, calling in the palace maids to clear the banquet.
