With Song Chongzhen around, Qi Yue no longer had to worry about the affairs at Yimei Garden.
After night fell, she left without anyone noticing.
The nights in Yanjing were lively until 9-11 PM, and the banquets in the palace would not end until close to 11 PM - 1 AM, so Qi Yue had plenty of time.
It was still early, and she disguised herself as a man, walking along East Main Street. She saw two carriages leave from Yewang Prefecture and one from the Fox King Residence, all heading towards the Imperial City.
She spent a few pieces of Silver and soon found out.
It was indeed a coincidence.
Almost all the important people from Yewang Prefecture were out.
According to the servants at the gate of Yewang Prefecture, the Virtuous Imperial Consort was hosting a tea party, inviting all the Great Consorts to participate, and hence the consort from Yewang also entered the palace.
