Eunuch Cheng went outside the Imperial Study to convey the Empress Dowager's decree.
Eunuch Fu followed Emperor Jing Xuan back to the bedroom. The person guarding Xiao Zhonghua was Eunuch Quan.
Eunuch Quan held the horsetail whisk and said politely to Eunuch Cheng, "I don't dare to let go of His Majesty's decree…"
Eunuch Cheng snorted. "Is the Empress Dowager's decree useless?"
Eunuch Quan smiled. "That's not what I meant… In the palace, ultimately… His Majesty has the final say."
"Eunuch Quan, remember what you said today." With that, Eunuch Cheng said to the eunuch behind him, "Help the Third Prince to the Yong Shou Palace!"
Eunuch Quan wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by a few powerful eunuchs.
