Eunuch Su led Jiang Li to a deserted palace, which was called deserted because there wasn't even a sweeping maid outside. The courtyard was both narrow and desolate, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, as if no one had swept it for a long time. Jiang Li guessed that even the Cold Palace might not be as desolate as this; she hadn't expected that there could be such a bleak place within the imperial palace.
The entire courtyard was eerily quiet as if no one lived there. Eunuch Su went to the door of the innermost room and whispered, "Miss Jiang the Second, please go in. I will be waiting outside. If you finish speaking or have any orders for me, I will come in."
Jiang Li thanked Eunuch Su and pushed the door to enter.
