An insider recounted Yu An's story, leaving a crowd of Beastmen slack-jawed. Unaware of this, Yu An boarded the carriage prepared by Qiuyue and headed directly for the Imperial Palace.
Qiuyue held a very high status in the Imperial Palace. Even the princesses and princes had to address her as "Aunt Qiuyue" when they saw her.
Yu An had her Five Beast Husbands ride in the carriage behind, while she, her Zaizai, and Qiuyue rode in the lead carriage.
Along the way, Qiuyue discreetly sized them up. Yu An pretended not to notice, pointing out the window and describing the sights to her Zaizai.
The original Yu An had often left the palace when she lived in the Imperial City and knew it like the back of her hand. Having been away for only a year, those memories had not yet faded.
The Zaizai asked questions from time to time, which Yu An patiently answered. Watching from across, Qiuyue felt that Yu An was truly different from before.
