42 Chapter: Delivering a Message (Second Update)_1

The Emperor fell silent for a moment.

Eunuch Zhao held his breath and sneaked a peek at Xiao Zhen, not having noticed until now that the second prince indeed was dressed rather thinly.

Seeing that Xiao Zhen looked as usual, as if it had been an offhand remark, the Emperor instructed Eunuch Zhao, "Also fetch a cloak for the second prince.", and then asked Xiao Zhen, "Is the second prince's residence well supplied with silver?", without waiting for Xiao Zhen to reply, he commanded Eunuch Zhao, "Allocate a sum of silver to the residence of the second prince. Have the servants thoroughly prepare all that is needed for winter, especially what the second prince requires. Be meticulous and don't be lazy. Make a few more cloaks, and when the second prince goes out, remind him to wear them. On such snowy days, remind him to take a hand warmer to stay warm."

Eunuch Zhao quickly complied and departed.
