Little Xinzhuo returned to the Imperial Palace.
Night had fallen deeply, and the palace lanterns swayed gently.
He hadn't gathered with his Sister for a long time, and tonight, he took advantage of her being inattentive to sneak a drink, making his steps a bit unsteady.
The night wind blew, somewhat chilly. Little Xinzhuo shook his head, trying to sober up, so his mother wouldn't discover he'd been drinking.
The eunuchs and palace maids at the entrance saw Little Xinzhuo and hurriedly greeted him.
"Keep it quiet, Mother has been sleeping restlessly lately, don't disturb her."
Little Xinzhuo was careful, advising them softly.
Mother's health hasn't been great, fortunately Sister has been secretly caring for her.
But some days ago, Mother suddenly lost her appetite and frequently felt drowsy. She didn't let the Imperial Physician check, only saying she would recover in a few days.
Little Xinzhuo planned to ask Sister to come to the palace in a few days to help take a look.
