Luo Lan could understand Eunuch Liu's feelings. He had served the late emperor for many years, and after the late emperor passed away, he could no longer find the meaning of staying in the palace.

She turned around and told Ah Hong:

"Go and get the banknotes."

Seeing this, Eunuch Liu waved his hand to stop him.

"My lady, I have some savings, so you don't need to give me any banknotes."

Luo Lan shook his head with reluctance.

"Eunuch Liu, I originally wanted to pack something for you to take with you, but considering it would be inconvenient for you to carry on the road, I'm just giving you a few banknotes as a token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse, otherwise... I'll feel bad."

As she spoke, Ah Hong handed a few banknotes to Luo Lan. Luo Lan stepped forward, stuffed them into Eunuch Liu's arms, and said with emotion:

"Eunuch Liu, you've been so worried about Leng Yu and me these past few years, and you've been so frightened for us. Even if I give you a lot of money, it can't replace the kindness you showed us in the past. You must take care of yourself. We will definitely visit you when we have the chance in the future."

Seeing that Luo Lan's words were sincere, Eunuch Liu did not refuse anymore. Instead, he stuffed the silver into his sleeve, stepped back a few steps, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Luo Lan. Luo Lan hurried forward to stop him.

"Eunuch Liu, you can't. I can't bear it. You served the late emperor, and the late emperor treated you with respect. How dare I, a junior, ask you to perform such a great ceremony? Get up!"

Liu Xi then sighed, nodded, stood up straight, clasped his hands together and said:

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'll take my leave of you. Please take care."

"Eunuch Liu, take care of yourself too. The Emperor and I will come to see you when we have the chance."

Eunuch Liu shook his head and chuckled.

"Thank you for your grace, Madam."

After leaving these words, Eunuch Liu turned around and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with heavy steps.

His back was a little hunched, and he looked a little weathered...
