They took advantage of the situation to get in touch with the emperor.
Fan Zuan felt more confident.
Zheng Duoyu then realized what was happening and took over from Fan Zuan to support the emperor.
"Little Ma" immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "This servant, this servant deserves to die!"
The emperor had calmed down by now. The eunuch had no ill intentions towards him, and besides, if the eunuch hadn't caught him, he would have fallen to the ground.
The emperor did not pursue the matter further. "Get up! Duoyu, reward him!"
Zheng Duoyu took a small item out of the bag and gave it to "Little Horse".
"This servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!" "Little Horse" knelt and moved to the side.
The Empress overheard this sentence just as she arrived outside the East Palace gate after talking with Lu Dacheng.

Upon hearing this, the Empress looked at her closely and said, "You look a little different than before."
"Your Majesty, this servant is terrified. In recent days, this servant has grown taller and my voice has changed. I don't know why."
How old are you this year?
"This servant is exactly fifteen years old!"
"Get out of here, this is none of your business."
It is normal for a fifteen-year-old eunuch to suddenly grow taller and for his voice to change.
Xiao Sheng, relieved, returned to his original position. Fan Zu'an, without changing his expression, retreated behind the Crown Prince.
