But lost in the heat of the moment, Guo Cairen heard nothing but the news that "the Emperor is at Yizhu Pavilion." With tears welling in her eyes, she stormed out of Zhongcui Palace and, eyes still red, marched to Yizhu Pavilion, only to be stopped by a eunuch at the main gate.
"My lady, the Emperor is inside, and Chen Daying is sick in bed. We are not receiving guests at this time..."
"I know the Emperor is inside! I demand to see the Emperor!"
Guo Cairen's voice grew louder. Scowling, Liang Yuyin stormed out and kicked the gatekeeper eunuch. "You useless thing! Letting someone cause a ruckus out here! How are you doing your job!" Then, switching to a loathsome smile, he addressed Guo Cairen. "The Emperor is not seeing anyone at the moment. If Guo Cairen insists on shouting, then don't blame me for resorting to more forceful measures."
"Mr. Liang, what do you intend to do to one of the Emperor's Concubines?"
Guo Cairen glared at him, but her voice did indeed quiet down.
