Eunuch Wang said, "Assistant Minister Song, His Majesty appreciates your hard work lately and has granted you three days to rest at your residence."
The moment Assistant Minister Song heard this, he understood what the emperor meant and said:
"I thank His Majesty for his boundless grace."
After so many years as sovereign and subject, Assistant Minister Song naturally understood the emperor's intentions.
Song Yaoyao had exchanged for such a large batch of supplies. Once she found somewhere to deliver them, she would have Guagua place them at the designated location.
