Shen Junshan truly spent the whole night sleeping on the ground. The training was too exhausting; he did think of climbing onto the bed, but he was afraid of losing control, so he didn't dare do anything.
On the contrary, Yun Chu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, watching Shen Junshan by the faint candlelight for most of the night.
Early the next morning, Shen Junshan took Yun Chu to the palace gates. Only after seeing her enter the palace did he leave.
Yun Chu was the most reliable palace maid by Yan Ning's side. She left the palace for a night and did not return. Both the Empress Dowager and Consort Bao sent people to watch her. Additionally, since Shen Junshan brought her back, rumors quickly spread.
