Hearing this, Qiao Jinniang frowned. Seeing that this person was the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor, she was not afraid that he was one of King Huai’s men.
However, she still asked, “Eunuch Quan, did something happen in Luoyang?”
“Nothing happened in Luoyang. It’s just that the Empress Dowager is on her deathbed. His Highness is out fighting, but the empress and the emperor’s great-grandson can not disrespect this filial piety.
“Also, the Emperor and the Empress heard that you are pregnant. They were afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to give birth outside...”
Qiao jinniang frowned and said, “Alright then.”
They were supposed to return to Chang ‘an after the first month, but because of the war in the northern desert and Western Liang, they did not move the capital.
It took them a month to arrive from Yunzhou to Luoyang. It was the Cold Food Festival on the third day of the third month. The princes, nobles, and young ladies of Luoyang were not affected by the war.
