Eunuch Wei said, "Yes."
Empress Dowager Xiao asked suspiciously, "Were you present all the time when His Majesty was issuing the imperial edict?"
Eunuch Wei nodded, "Yes, it was your servant who prepared the ink and brush. After finishing the edict, His Majesty exhausted his vital energy and fell into a deep sleep again."
Empress Dowager Xiao frowned.
She could doubt anyone, but she still tended to trust Eunuch Wei.
Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, "Understood. Keep the imperial edict safe and take good care of His Majesty. When His Majesty wakes up again, remember to have someone inform me first."
"Your servant has memorized it."
After leaving Kunning Palace, Eunuch Wei headed towards Huaqing Palace and had only walked a few steps when he saw a slim figure under a large tree.
He jumped in fright, "Princess?"
Princess Ning An turned around with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Eunuch Wei blinked, bowed, and said, "Princess, the Empress Dowager just asked..."
"There’s no need to tell me; I trust you wouldn’t dare betray me in front of the Empress Dowager."
"Yes, yes," Eunuch Wei replied with an embarrassed smile, "Then for what does the Princess wait for this servant here..."
"For this." Princess Ning An tossed him a porcelain vial, "Tomorrow’s medicine. Make sure His Majesty takes it during the dinner hour."
Eunuch Wei’s eyes flashed, "Ahh, yes, your servant will certainly follow the order."
Princess Ning An laughed coldly, "If you don’t manage it..."
Eunuch Wei shook his head like a rattle drum, "I wouldn’t dare! My little life is in the Princess’s hands; if the Princess tells me to go east, I wouldn’t dare go west."
Princess Ning An coldly curled her lips, "It’s good you know. Now go and take care of my royal brother. The medicine is not without its risks; if he really wakes up..."
Eunuch Wei hurriedly said, "Your servant will ensure that no one discovers His Majesty has awakened and will immediately report to the Princess."
"Good that you know."
After Princess Ning An spoke, she indifferently returned to Bixia Hall.
Once he was sure she was far away, Eunuch Wei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to Huaqing Palace.
So much time had passed; he wondered how the swim bladder in the Emperor’s mouth was. Had the medicine been sprinkled on it? Had it been swallowed? freewebnovel.cσ๓
