Wen Jingyue followed behind Shuangxi along the corridor leading to the inner palace. He recognized this path; when Consort Wen had summoned him, a palace maid had led him this way. Today, the emperor's chief eunuch was leading him over the same route, which made him involuntarily guess that something might have happened to Consort Wen!
Shuangxi stopped in front of a dilapidated palace gate. He turned sideways, pushed the door open, and said to Wen Jingyue, "Lord Wen, please. His Majesty is waiting for you inside!"
Wen Jingyue did not dare hesitate, lifting his foot to step across the threshold.
