Didn't they say that he had sunk into the pond? Why would he appear in the throne room unscathed? Could it be that they had seen a ghost in broad daylight?
Eunuch Li was dumbfounded. That shouldn't be the case. He had personally sunk him. No matter how good he was at swimming, it was impossible for him to swim up after tying such a heavy stone.
Eunuch Li naturally did not expect that Eunuch Wang had been saved by Consort Yun. However, it was useless even if he thought about it. The person who was supposed to die was not dead. The following situation would probably be awkward.
"Eunuch Wang, didn't you get smallpox… and are about to die?" The person who asked was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. The Empress was sobbing halfway through her sentence. They deduced that Eunuch Wang was either dead or about to die soon, but looking at the energetic appearance of Eunuch Wang, he didn't look like a person on the verge of death!
