The Third Prince refused to leave and called out again, "Imperial Father!"
The Emperor leaned against the Dragon Throne, closed his eyes, waved his hand weakly, and said, "I am weary, Imperial Son, please withdraw."
The Little Eunuch standing behind the Emperor silently shook his head at the Third Prince, signaling him to know when to stop and not to upset the Emperor.
The Emperor showed no intention of responding to him. The Third Prince, feeling helpless, could only kowtow once more before standing up, "Imperial Father, your son takes his leave!"
The Emperor sat there, squinting his eyes as if asleep, without any movement.
The Little Eunuch gestured silently to him to indicate he should leave.
The Third Prince had no choice but to withdraw.
Just as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw the Second Prince hurrying over, and so he saluted, "Second Imperial Brother, long time no see."
