The Hidden Guard understood Zhao Yao's intent and was about to leave when Zhao Yao stopped him.
"Wait, can you get in touch with the Dragon Guards around the Emperor?"
The Hidden Guard was a bit surprised and asked, "Your Highness, do you wish to meet the Dragon Guards?"
"I have some matters to inquire about with them. Can I see them?"
The Hidden Guard replied, "If it is you, Your Highness, you should be able to see them."
Zhao Yao understood the Hidden Guard's meaning and instructed, "Then have them come to see me tomorrow night."
"Yes, Your Highness." With that, the Hidden Guard, seeing that Zhao Yao had no other orders, withdrew.
The next morning, Zhao Yao was awakened by Tong Xi.
After Zhao Yao washed up, he hurriedly brought the witch doctor into the palace to diagnose the Emperor's pulse.
Lady Liang and Zhao Yao stood by anxiously and restlessly while waiting for the witch doctor to take the pulse.
