Emperor Jing ultimately held back from speaking too bluntly, he had to leave Zhao Ting with some hope, didn't he?
He instructed Shuangxi to escort them back properly and also rewarded them with a substantial amount of valuable medicinal herbs and jewelry.
The medicinal herbs were for Zhao Ting, to nourish him; it would certainly do him good.
The jewelry was for Zhao Ting's wife and daughter.
This was probably the only thing he could do for Zhao Ting now.
Zhao Ting lay half-dead in the soft sedan, and Eunuch Shuangxi also took a soft sedan, side by side with Zhao Ting.
He glanced at Zhao Ting, then at Zhao Ting again, sighing. Their fate as eunuchs was tragic. But being a General, isn't much better off.
As men, they were incomplete.
But at least they were alive.
Life, ah, is just so unfathomable.
Shuangxi securely returned Zhao Ting to the Zhao Mansion and also met with Madam Zhao and Meng Yao.
With his glib tongue, he comforted them both a little.
