In the winter of the eighth year of Jing Chaoping's reign, a palace maid from the Zichen Palace drowned in the Jinshui River.

Pei Yan, a Qianhu of the Xuanying Guard, used thunderous means to conduct a thorough investigation under the emperor's orders. However, from the gold leaf red bird pattern in the throat of the corpse, the embers of the three kings' rebellion eight years ago were glimpsed.
