Jiang Hao had gone to great lengths and after much effort, he finally found a gap in time and met with Eunuch Zhao.
Upon seeing him, Eunuch Zhao said, "Did the Crown Prince send you to inquire about why His Majesty did not visit the Eastern Palace yesterday?"
Jiang Hao bowed, "Indeed, please consider the Crown Prince's many years of respect for you, and inform us a little. You have watched the Crown Prince grow up since he was a child; His Majesty raised the Crown Prince by his side, and by my reckoning, you have looked after the Crown Prince even more."
Eunuch Zhao sighed, "After His Majesty left the banquet yesterday, he initially planned to visit the Eastern Palace. He was about to board the Jade Chariot when Zhao Jiang from Hengchuan Prefecture sent an urgent message that required eight hundred li expedited delivery. After reading it, His Majesty canceled his plans to visit the Eastern Palace and retired to his sleeping quarters to rest."
