Inside the palace city,
Emperor Qian sat there, expressionless, motionless.
In the darkness, a one-armed old eunuch stepped out, knelt on the ground, and said in a raspy voice,
"Your Majesty, this old servant does not know of this matter either."
Emperor Qian glanced at the old eunuch below, shaking his head with some disappointment.
"Worthless."
Emperor Qian turned and left, while the old eunuch remained kneeling there, his eyes gloomy, his teeth grinding audibly.
He truly did not know about this matter.
However, he did not dare deceive Emperor Qian.
This result was preferable to knowing and concealing the truth.
Recalling the words Emperor Qian had spoken earlier, his gaze grew ever darker.
A domesticated dog, once the bridle was removed and released, turned into a wild dog.
Not only did it grow ambitious, but it also dared to secretly hide food outside the home.
Others might not understand, but the old eunuch knew eunuchs too well.
