Eunuch Wei was stunned by this sudden development, wondering what was going on? Why was His Majesty acting so strangely towards the Consort Dowager?
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei cautiously approached.
Consort Dowager Jing also stood, her eyes reddened as she walked towards the Emperor.
"Don't let her come near!" The Emperor shouted.
Eunuch Wei and the palace maids, eunuchs in the hall looked at each other in confusion, none of them understanding what had happened.
Just then, from outside came the announcement from Eunuch Qin: "The Empress Dowager has arrived—"
Everyone in the palace knelt down in unison.
Eunuch Wei also hurriedly knelt down.
When the Empress Dowager, regal in her phoenix robe, walked into the Huaqing Palace's sleeping hall, the Emperor, without a second thought, threw himself at her: "Mother—Save me—"
Before everyone present, he leapt into the Empress Dowager's embraces.
The Empress Dowager was nearly knocked off her feet by him!
