Inside Mingwei Palace, Emperor Jingyuan was unaware that the confidant minister he relied on was actually concealing treachery. At this moment, he was so exhausted that he sank into the chair.
The Chief Eunuch did not dare to interrupt, only gently replaced the warm tea for Emperor Jingyuan.
After more than half a ke, Emperor Jingyuan exhaled heavily, regaining himself, opened his eyes, picked up the warm tea, and gulped it down, while his stomach growled with hunger.
The Chief Eunuch said, "Your Majesty has been busy all day. Please have your meal first; the imperial dishes are already prepared."
Emperor Jingyuan looked at the sky outside the palace and said, "No need, call the Old Madam first, I have questions for her."
"Yes." The Chief Eunuch, having served Emperor Jingyuan for many years, understood his temper well. He hated it when others defied his wishes, and anyone who dared to contradict him would face his wrath.
