The Emperor said irritably, "How old are you exactly? Can't you accompany me for a few more years? Even those of the Qin family haven't said they can't accompany the Empress Dowager for a few more years yet!"
The Emperor was a sentimental man, and he remembered how Eunuch Wei had followed him during his most desperate times.
Eunuch Wei smiled, "Yes."
But in his heart, he thought, these days you really bring up the Empress Dowager in every other sentence.
A nightmare left the Emperor sleepless. He was too lazy to go to the Imperial Study Room, so he asked Eunuch Wei to bring the memorandums to the Sleeping Palace for him to review.
Eunuch Wei instructed two clever eunuchs to bring the memorandums to the desk, and then he lit a lamp for the Emperor.
After bathing, the Emperor changed into dry clothes, sat behind the desk, and began to review the memorandums.
"You should go to sleep," the Emperor said to Eunuch Wei.
