Gu Jiao got into the carriage to return to Bishui Alley, while Eunuch Wei turned back to the Huaqing Palace.
Just as he arrived at the gate of Huaqing Palace, he bumped into Nurse Cai.
Nurse Cai had also just arrived and greeted him with a smile, "Eunuch Wei!"
Eunuch Wei courteously smiled back, "Nurse Cai, has the Dowager Empress sent you? Does she have any instructions?"
Nurse Cai handed over a food box she was holding, "The Emperor did not eat much at dinner. The Dowager Empress is worried that the food wasn't to his taste, so she asked me to deliver the Tremella soup she personally made."
Eunuch Wei took the food box and said, "The Dowager Empress is too kind. She is still recovering herself, she shouldn't be cooking. The Emperor would worry if he found out."
