The palace maid acted as though she did not hear the princess's disrespect toward the emperor, lowering her hands as she said, "Then Eunuch Zhao retreated. Not long after he returned, the emperor sent people to comfort him, bestowed medicine, and passed down an oral decree letting Eunuch Zhao rest more."
Hearing this, Princess Xinping shook her head and thought, Could Father really be aging?
If he isn't muddled, how could he do such a thing?
A loyal servant like Eunuch Zhao was indeed somewhat out of line in his attitude, but everyone knew this was out of pure loyalty to the emperor. Compared to Ma Shunde, who only knew how to flatter and blindly pander, a person like Eunuch Zhao was actually rare and precious.
Eunuchs were all greedy for money, but as long as they acquired it properly and didn't go too far, they were good servants.
Beating a eunuch half to death was also a trivial matter, but her father, who had always valued scholars of the Book of Documents, actually wanted to do something when thousands of Provincial Graduates were making a fuss and even could not suppress his anger?
Now, was this man who couldn't even control his own emotions really the father she had once looked up to?
Could the vaguely circulating Founding Ancestor's Curse be true?
