As soon as Yuanbao stepped into the gates of Yutang Palace with one foot, he heard Eunuch Sanbao rambling on.
Yuanbao's attention was caught by the last sentence.
Eunuch Sanbao asked Zhao Xi if he was going to release him from the palace.
Taking advantage of no one noticing, Yuanbao quietly retracted that foot, pressing his back against the sun-scorched vermilion palace wall, ears perked up to listen to the commotion over there.
However, no one spoke.
Zhao Xi seemed to be in silence.
Neither Eunuch Sanbao nor the other servants dared to make a sound.
Eunuch Sanbao had merely asked casually, not expecting His Highness to react the way he did, feeling uncertain of his master's thoughts, he stood there without daring to breathe heavily.
Zhao Xi remained silent for quite a while, long enough that Eunuch Sanbao almost suspected he had fallen asleep standing in place due to the heat, when he finally spoke, "Go find Song Hao."
