    Li Yue, a palace maid, was a cook in the Eastern Palace. She rarely saw the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, or any of the concubines. She thought herself the luckiest person in the palace; her masters couldn't vent their anger on her, and she had the head of the kitchen, Gong Gong, to look after her. She was quite fortunate, enjoying a life of plenty. One night, while on night duty and sleeping during the day, she witnessed a mutiny in the Eastern Palace. No one told her, and when it came time to choose which maids to accompany the Crown Prince to another residence, no one volunteered. She thought she'd go outside the palace to see what was happening and volunteer, only to find herself the only one who did. Tragically, she was exiled with the Crown Prince to a distant land, forced to support him through her own efforts. All her previous good fortune had vanished, and she had no one to pity her. But no matter, she started preparing elaborate dishes, opened a restaurant, and built a thriving business for the New Year. In her place of exile, there were descendants of famous generals and old ministers. Li Yue never dreamed that all the money she earned would be used for rebellion. Finally, she returned to the palace with the Crown Prince and resumed serving Chu Hengyu. Her business outside was thriving, and she didn't want to return to the palace, so she kindly reminded him, "Your Majesty, I've reached the age to be released from the palace." He began to dredge up old grievances: "Slapping me, throwing excrement and urine at me, enslaving me—tell me, will you keep me or not?" Li Yue quickly knelt down, fawningly pleading, "Yes, I'll spare my life." "But you said you would keep me." "I said I'd spare my life, not stay in the palace." Chu Hengyu snorted, "This matter is not open for discussion." And so, Li Yue, as a head palace maid, fled overnight. Surrounded by an army, Li Yue was dumbfounded. She was just a palace maid; was it really necessary...?
