Xianwu shed his overcoat as Eunuch Yuhan dutifully took it from him. He reclined on the chaise, taking a moment to rest while anticipating Jia Li's arrival.
"Your Royal Highness, here is the water," Eunuch Yuhan announced, presenting a glass to Xianwu, who accepted it and took a few refreshing sips.
"The Crown Princess is with the Empress. I think she may take time to return," Eunuch Yuhan replied. "Until then, His Royal Highness should take a warm bath," he suggested.
"No, I wish to rest," Xianwu stated.
Eunuch Yuhan nodded and he left the chamber, taking the tray with him.
Xianwu's eyes gradually closed before he fell into a deep slumber. His head slipped off the recliner which Jia Li caught. She made sure Xianwu's sleep wouldn't be disturbed and gently placed his head in its original place.
However, Xianwu was awake now. "Did I sleep for too long? Why did you not wake me up?" he questioned her.
