Noble Consort Wang: "Your Majesty, you need not feel guilty. Eunuch Li went mad. For the sake of your imperial health, for the peace and well‑being of the people of the realm, he deserved to die."
The Emperor said with a guilty look on his face, "Even if that's true, whenever I think of how he died with his eyes open, I feel terrible! After all, Eunuch Li has followed Me for so many years, and for him to die just like that, I truly have wronged him."
Noble Consort Wang couldn't help praising him, saying, "Your Majesty is truly loyal and sentimental."
Just then, a Little Eunuch stood at the doorway of the bedchamber and shrilled his report: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant has brought the Imperial Guard Commander to report the situation to you."
