Seeing this, Eunuch Deng quickly explained, "Your Highness, calm down. Eunuch Li is doing this for Your Highness's sake. If the empress dowager sees the injury on Your Majesty's face tomorrow, she'll definitely be suspicious. Then all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Yes… I… I'm also doing this for His Highness…" Eunuch Li's eyes rolled back and he forced out this sentence.
Shangguan Pu snorted and let go.
Eunuch Li slumped down and kowtowed to Shangguan Pu. "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."
"Prepare a brush, ink, and an imperial edict."
Eunuch Li's body stiffened and he cried out in his heart.
Shangguan Pu narrowed his eyes. "Why? You don't want to go?"
Eunuch Li's scalp went numb from the gaze. What had happened just now still left him with lingering fears. He could only brace himself and get up to leave the inner hall.
"By the way, don't forget to bring the jade seal with you."
