After Li Qiong finished the homework his teacher had assigned for the day, he called for someone to help him wash his hands, but found the person who entered was a complete stranger.
He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The little eunuch knelt on the floor and answered respectfully.
"This servant has come to serve the Crown Prince, by order of the Noble Consort."
Hearing this, Li Qiong just assumed his mother was showing her concern for him and didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until he walked out of the study that he discovered all the palace attendants outside had been replaced. There wasn't a single person he recognized.
Only then did he realize the situation was not as simple as he had thought.
Li Qiong didn't even bother with lunch, rushing off to see his mother.
"Mother, why did you replace all of my attendants?"
His tone was heavy with urgency, making him sound rather aggressive.
