The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 779

Chapter 779: 362 Revealing the Truth (Second Update)_2

Gu Jiao got into the carriage to return to Bishui Alley, while Eunuch Wei turned back to the Huaqing Palace.

Just as he arrived at the gate of Huaqing Palace, he bumped into Nurse Cai.

Nurse Cai had also just arrived and greeted him with a smile, "Eunuch Wei!"

Eunuch Wei courteously smiled back, "Nurse Cai, has the Dowager Empress sent you? Does she have any instructions?"

Nurse Cai handed over a food box she was holding, "The Emperor did not eat much at dinner. The Dowager Empress is worried that the food wasn’t to his taste, so she asked me to deliver the Tremella soup she personally made."

Eunuch Wei took the food box and said, "The Dowager Empress is too kind. She is still recovering herself, she shouldn’t be cooking. The Emperor would worry if he found out."

Nurse Cai sighed, "I told her the same, but she wouldn’t listen. As you know, the Dowager Empress has only the Emperor and Princess Ning An as her children. With Princess Ning An married and far away, only the Emperor is by her side. How can she not care deeply for him? She used to live outside the palace and felt helpless. Now that she is back, she naturally wants to make up for the years she has missed with the Emperor."

Eunuch Wei also sighed, "Even so, you should still advise the Dowager Empress."

Nurse Cai nodded, "I know, I will. Eunuch Wei, please hurry and deliver the Tremella soup to the Emperor. I won’t bother you any longer, the Dowager Empress is waiting for me to serve her."

Eunich Wei nodded, "Take care, Nurse Cai."

"Ah, I almost forgot." Nurse Cai walked a few steps away, then turned back and took out a packet of silver from her wide sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei quickly raised his hand to decline, "What is this for!"

Nurse Cai said, "It is a token of appreciation from the Dowager Empress, just accept it, Eunuch Wei."

Eunuch Wei refused repeatedly, "How can I accept the Dowager Empress’s silver?"

Nurse Cai thrust it into his chest, "Please take it. If you don’t, it would be difficult for me to report back to the Dowager Empress!"

After Nurse Cai left, Eunuch Wei took the food box to the Emperor’s Sleeping Palace.

If it were in the past, he would certainly hand over the Tremella soup to the Emperor, but today...

Recalling the warning from the young doctor, he suddenly hesitated.

"Should I taste it first? Test for poison?"

Eunuch Wei scooped out a spoonful of Tremella soup and tasted it, prepared to face death.

After a while, he checked his own heart.

He was still alive, there was no problem.
