Grand Status

After dropping off the unconscious Lei Xing in her room, the Emperor left her to Xiao Rou's capable care and went out to discuss the situation with Eunuch Li, who had finally found his way back to the Emperor after running around for a while.

Eunuch Li had already been briefed by others around on the true nature of the event that unfolded in the Empress's palace. He set aside his questions and informed the Emperor about the Empress dowager's current condition and the general situation of the palace at the moment. Once that was done, he finally asked the Emperor the question that had been on his mind, "What do you make of this situation?" 

"A blessing from the heavens~" The Emperor simply responded with a slight smirk. 

Eunuch Li knit his brows and scrutinized the Emperor, who looked completely at ease and unaffected by the bizarreness that had centered around him.
