Chapter 38: She Was Too Calm

The next day, Zhao Zhang Wei had just exited the imperial court when an old Eunuch stopped him on his way to the Xinhe Palace. A flicker of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes seeing the Eunuch. The old Eunuch served the Emperor and was the most trusted servant by His Majesty's side.

"This servant greets Your Highness, The Second Prince."

Still, with the usual gentle smile on his face, Zhao Zhang Wei stopped the old Eunuch from bowing with a wave of his hand.

"Eunuch Wang is an elder and had served by His Majesty's side for four decades. Eunuch Zhang embarrasses This Prince with his formal behavior. "

The old Eunuch completed his bow despite his said words and had a polite smile on his face.

"This is what a servant should do. Master does not need to feel embarrassed for this mere servant." 

Eunuch Wang then continued

"His Majesty had called Your Highness in the Imperial Study."
