"... Yes." Eunuch Wei reluctantly agreed, personally fetching a stack of memorandums from the Imperial Study Room.
The Emperor rubbed his throbbing forehead, and started to review a memorandum.
Eunuch Wei noticed that the Emperor seemed weary, and quietly sent for the imperial physician.
It was a good thing he did, because the Emperor fainted dead away after reviewing the third memorandum.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."
The voice of Eunuch Wei grew further and further away as the Emperor closed his eyes and blacked out completely.
The sound of a tinkling wind chime woke the Emperor. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was blinded by a dazzling ray of sunlight. He lifted a hand to shield his eyes and only when they adjusted to the light did he realize that he wasn't lying in his bed in Huaqing Palace.
"Where is this...?" he asked, sitting up. "Calling someone!"
"Your Majesty."
The person that arrived was not Eunuch Wei, it was Empress Dowager Jing.
