After dinner, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
Princess Rouwan had eaten a bit too much for dinner and felt bloated.
Nanny Zhang had someone brew some tea to aid digestion and brought it to the Commandery Princess.
After drinking the tea, Princess Rouwan went to the washroom. Her stomach finally didn't feel so bloated.
Nanny Zhang helped the Commandery Princess to bed.
By now, the rain had lessened somewhat.
Nanny Zhang thought the rain would stop soon, but unexpectedly, the downpour intensified again around midnight. A loud clap of thunder jolted the sleeping Nanny Zhang awake.
Worried the Commandery Princess might have been frightened by the thunder, she quickly dressed, grabbed a lantern, and headed out.
When she reached Princess Rouwan's chambers, she found the princess still fast asleep.
Nanny Zhang sighed in relief.
She was about to turn and leave when she suddenly heard the Commandery Princess speak.
