Hearing the eunuchs' voices and worried they might barge in, the Yellow-robed Woman hurriedly wrapped her arms around Zhao Fujin and shrank deeper into the bed. With a flick of his hand, Song Qingshu lowered the bed curtains. As he put Xiao Xingguo's mask back on, he went to open the door.
"You two again?" Song Qingshu laughed when he saw that the two people outside were the same young eunuchs who had come looking for him last time. After the Yellow-robed Woman had caused such a commotion in Taihe Hall, Prince Wei had taken the opportunity to purge many of the Empress's subordinates. The fact that these two brothers had survived until now meant their luck was truly extraordinary.
"Oh, Eunuch Xing, and you still have the mood to laugh? You haven't gone to pay respects to Her Majesty in ages. Her Majesty has given the order: if we can't find you again today, our two brothers will be sent to empty chamber pots with you." The two young eunuchs immediately grew anxious and reached out to drag Song Qingshu away.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I need to go back and get something first."
Without waiting for them to object, Song Qingshu shut the door and hurried back into the room. He said to the two women, "The Empress has summoned me. I'll go deal with her first and see whether I can take the chance to investigate information related to Carefree Powder. You two stay here and be careful."
"You... be careful yourself," the Yellow-robed Woman said softly after hesitating for a moment.
"Oh? Did the sun rise in the west?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"Hmph, whether my sisters can escape their suffering depends on you now. What's wrong with me showing a little concern for you?"
